Buffalo is moving along nicely, and
keeping pace with all other industrial
communities, but at present she is
suffering great loss in the person
of Mr.. j. Lee Langston, who has won
his way into the hearts of all the peo-
pie of our town.
Mr.. Langston has been local man
aged of the Buffalo Mills company
store for some time, but now is NOV
ing back to Laurens, his native town.
We give him up with relectancy, but
our loss will be their gain.
The Baptist church of our town is
very fortunate in securing as their
pastor Rev. j. E. Meng, formerly of
Newberry. Mr.. Meng comes to us very
highly recommended, and we are hop
ing that there will be fine coopera
tive spirit among the churches of our
town, and that they will work together
in the extension of the Kingdom of
God.

May Become
A City Without Slums

London, July 28.-Twenty-two of
the worst slum areas in London are
to be wiped out by the London County
Council. The work is to be spread
over the next ten or IL years and the
government will assist in it.
"When the scheme, which involves
nothing less than the clearance of all
the slum areas in London, is complet.
ed" says Colonel I.evita, chairman of
the Housing Committee, "it will have
entailed the displacement of some 49,
900 people, and an expenditure of
many millions of pounds. The main
idea is to make London a slumless
city.
Such work cannot, of course be
done on a strictly economic basis but
London will benefit greatly by the
Intensive campaign it is intended to
pursue, for better housing all round
will mean better health and therefore
happier people"

Terrific Storm
J Of Yesterday
Plays Havoc

News came into Union this morning
telling of severe hail, wind, rain and
electric storms in various sections of
the county.
At and near Kelly's station the hail
destroyed cotton considerably and
blew down the corn. Up at Pacolet,
including the Hamilton farm on North
Pacolet, the damage was quite severe.
Mr.. Sam Garner, who lives this side
of Kelly's-station, says he has 20 acres
Of cotton almost destroyed by hail
Sat Cross Keys the damage was severe.
Dut on the Forest there was-severe
rain and wind, but.no hail. We fear
from reports coming in that much
damage has been done the crops in va
rious sections of the county. Here at
Union there was a severe wind and
dust storm, but almost no rain. 1t
seems the damage was greatest on
either side of Union.
Mr.. Ed. Littlejohn had the misfor-
tune to have four horses and one mule
. killed by lightning yesterday after,
noon. The animals had gathered un-
der tree which the bolt struck and
all five were instantly killed.
Mr.. Walter Hames' farm neal
Ionesville, was greatly damaged by
hail and wind The destruction OF
about 80 acres is reported.
Mr.. Thad Holcomb has 20 acres of
cotton almost ruined by rain, wind and

NATION TO CONTROL COAL DISTRIBUTION:
STATES COOPERATE WITH DISTRIBUTOR

Washington, July 81. - REQUESTS
from governors of states for coal has
already begun to come into the federal
fuel distribution committee, Secre-
tary Hoover stated today. He said the
states asked particularly for fuel for
public utilities.
Fuel Distributor Spencer is today
cfectin the oranization of regional
committees in the producing fields. 1t
Is expected that orders could be for
warded to all districts within AZ hou,s
Washington, July 80 (By the Asso-
clated PresS) The government with
the cooperation of the state will as
sumo tomorrow the duties of a pi
gantlc middleman passing ON the coal
from the producing mines to the in
duStrles and localities which in the
eyes of the government need it most
The organization of the govern
ments emergency coal distribution
agency was pronounced tonight to be
nearly complete and tomorrow Henry
b. Spencer, the federal fuel distribut
or, his committee and advisory sub
committees as designated by order
of President Harding will begin ac-
tive functioning.
Just how much coal the povcrn-
ment can count on remains matter
OF speculation. The first test of the
response to President Hardng's in
Vltation to the mine owners to open
their properties was revealed TODAY
in the weekly report issued by the
geological survey, which showed an
estimated production of bituminous
for the week ending yestetday of g.
100000 tons as compared with $780,
OOGtons the week previous
THE increase is due" the report
said, partly to more men at work in
pennsylvania, partly to in proved car
supply in southern West Virginia and
partly to heavier shipments from Ala
bama and the Far West. Production
of anthracite remains practically
zero.
Bituminous loadings on the first
day of last week went up to 1903
cars, figures assembled by the sur
vey showed. This was Az cars above
the loadings for the pre- eling Mon
day but 1864 cars below the last
Monday before the shopmen's strike.
Eoadings Of fsst Tuesday and We'd
nesday declined but slight recovery
was made on Thursday. Reports for
the last two days of the week have
not been finally compiled
There is no indication of increased
tion to reopen mines in any of the
strongly organized districts, the geo
logical survey commented. More
coal is coming out of the former non
union fields of Pennsylvania and
little more from the Fairmont and
kanawha districts of West Virginia
but the additional supply from these
sources is not yet Signitican' IN COM
parison with the requirements of the
country
The non-union fields prior to the
railroad strike, records of the survey
show, were producing as much as s.
363 900 tons n week
The total production for the past
week of 100000 tons of bituminous
and $4,000 tons of anthracite is COM
pared by the survey with normal
production at this season including
anthracite of from 9,500,O 600 20 L.
OCo.0O0 tons. Normal con sum- ptiou
at this time of year is S0oO.ou. tons
of coal q week.
