EXPERIENCE ARGUES AGAINST DE-
 LAY.
 For months now much has been said stated that the usual amount of coal was not being mined because there was a lack of orders, that prices would tend to be higher instead of lower and that advantage ought to be taken of this season of the year to encourage the movement and handling of coal. and yet in spite of the combined efforts in that direction 1t is declared, by journal devoted to the interests of the coal trade, that buying has not been increased to the joint where 1t should be and that if it does not develop at once it will mean both a shortage and boost in price that people are ordinarily anxious to avoid.
 The people in this part of the country have had their experience in endeavoring to get coal handled in a sufficient quan- tity to comfortably meet requirement. and they know what it means for those who can get control of it to indulge in price fixing which, though not far short of robbery, Is next to impossible to over come before those who buy have been obliged to yield to the extortion.
 To a great many one such experience has suficed. They have proceeded to do 1 their best to overcome such obstacles so far as they are concerned and already they have their next winters coal where they need have no further worry con- cerning it. They have prepared for the inevitable, taken advantage of spring prices and endeavored to avoid a short age through curtailment of production or because of congestion on the transpor- tation lines.
 In view of what has occurred in the recent past their action is logical. It is the season of the year when the winters s coal should be moving into all sections l of the country and into the cellars of the consumers. Delay means that pro- duetion which should be extended over long period must he crowded into q short one and upon the inevitable re- suit of such 3 situation is based the claim of shortage and higher prices.

What has happened to that government Is perhaps no different than has hap pened to many who are in business. The loaning of money by the national bank of the islands on products that have greatly deteriorated in price has tied up its resources. It must therefore have help in order to tide over the situation

Look Out!

Montgomery. July 22.-(Special)- Warning was issued by J. M. Moore. supervisor of the division of food, feeds and drugs. today of an out break of botulinus poisoning at Greensburg, Pa. caused from the eat ing of ripe olives bearing the brand "5x California Ehmann queen Olives. Ehmann Olive company oroville, California" MT Moore said there was no information that any of the olives had come to Alabama but that every person should make an investigation in order to protect their lives and health.
 The olives evidently were packed in 1919 as the plant of this company now Is in excellent condition. Mir Moore suggested that any glass Jars or bottles of olives which show gas or turbidity of the liquid or tins that are swelied, springers or leaky should be incinerated to avoid contaminat-
 ing the premises with the bacillus. All indications of spoilage should be reported ta-the food, feeds and drugs division or to the county health of ficer or city food inspector so the proper investigation may be made.
 Mir. Moore's warning was issued to the wholesale and retail grocers of Alabama and made public for the benefit of all consumers of olives.

 Must Pay Furniture Tax

Montgomery July 2.-(Special,)-- The supreme court has been asked by the attorney generals depart ment to review the decision of the court of appeals in the case of the state versus the White Furniture company. from the Etowah circuit court, in which the appellate court held that the state cannot collect taxes from furniture companies on goods transferred to other persons under title retention contracts until all installments have been paid
 The state contends that the furni- ture companies own the property un- til all installments are paid and their contracts recognize ownership and therefore the companies are due taxes to the state and counties. The furnl- ture companies contend that the state must look to the purchaser of the property for it's tax money. Thousands of dollars are involved in the case as it Is easier for property in the hands of individuals to escape taxation than the property in the hands of business houses.
