Beautiful Tribute
Paid Mrs. ellis by
Asheville Paper

In chronicling the death and funer-
al of Mrs. Eliza w. ellis, a former
resident of Palatka, The Asheville
Citizen paid beautiful tribute to
this splendid woman, not only in its
local columns, but in an editorial
The editorial follows:
"a gentlewoman has passed from
among us, in the fullness of years
whose record is one of love and sac
rifice and devotion to high ideals. In

this of tribute the promptings of af-
fiction can scarce inspire.
GAS, at the close of that perfect
day which was the last of hers or
earth, the sun passed beyond the cir
cling hills, yet in its afterglow light
ed the skies with its soft splendor, SO
the life of this sweet lady will live
in golden memory. Amid the rustling
of the leaves and the fragrance of
the flowers and the singing of the
birds she passed as on a pleasant
journey"
In local story Of the funeral the
following appeared:
"Mrs. Eliza Woodson ellis was
born September 6, 1886, at Willing
ton, S. c., the daughter of Colone
John O., and Mrs. Mary (Waddell)
DeVall. At the age of 10 years she
went with her parents to Florida, the
journey by wagon train and camping
in the open bring one of her favorite
recQllections. The family established
themselves near Sanford and the
unsettled nature of tn ecountry may
be judged by the fact that it wa:
considered necessary to build block
house against the Seminole Indians
Colonel DeVall later removed tx
Palatka. Mrs. ellis returned there
after attending the Greensboro

COAL IN ENGLAND IS RAPIDLY BECOMING DEARER

LONDON, Dec. 4.-Coal prices in England probably will reach the high est level in history during the com ing winter. A general increase of , shillings ton was made recently ard | further increase is expected this week.
 The price of the best hard coal is now 57 shillings, (about $l2) per ton, graduating to 45 shillings for kitchen coal. The highest prices last year for the same grades was 61 shillings and 4S shillings. A further increase of 6 shillings may be looked for.
 Labor troubles and the early winter are given as reasons for the added cost of fuel.

PLAYING AT CROSS PURPOSES

While it has been less than year since President Harding called a dis armament conference. and agreed to scrap many U. s. war vessels; General J. J. Pershing is touring the states preaching preparedness, and Secretary Denby comes out with a recommendation providing for navy second to none and strong enough to force American policies upon the rest of the world.
 Is it any wonder that England and France accuse us of double crossing and refuse to disarm until we show our good faith?

Subscription, SIPS per Month
THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL

Primarily, the President called the special session of congress- to consider the proposition of passing a ship subsidy measure as means of play ing the governments merchant ma .ine on solid business foundation.
 At tie close of the wal the govern menl found itseli in possession ol q fleet constructed during the wal emergency at a cost of $S,000,0 ,00000O A large part of the fleet. parncuErly the wooden ships, was utter.y useless for p:actical shipping proposes be cause the space required for it's own fu was so great that no profit could De made out O. space available fol transportation Of paying cargo.
 Until some new arrangement and q definite plan could be agreed upon the government opeprated some of tn ! ships at a loss which formerly ran in.o the hundreds Of millions but wh'oh now has been cut to fifty mil lion dollars year, below which the loss cannot be reduced.
 The ships must be operated by eith- CT the government or private opera tors or they will dete-iorate, and high cost must be paid for caretaking
 A plan has been devised by which the government would dispose of the ships which it is now operating at a loss of fifty million dollars a year an6 permit them to be operated by private operators to whom the government would pay about $30,OO0 900 a year as a subsidy, in return for which United States mails would be carried regu- larly, ocean transportation service would be maintained for the develop ment of American commerce and the ships would be subject to the call of the government as auxiliaries in the event of war.
 The country. therefore, faces the the question of abandoning the ship. entirely, or continuing to operate them at loss of fifty million yea or of selling them to private owners who will operate them under a plar which will cost the government thirty million year.
 The ship subsidy bill is opposed on the ground that it contemplates pay ing from the government treasury to the operators of private ships Op- ponents of the bill overlook the fact that the government is now paying fifty million dollars a year in deficits fo- the operation of ships which do not render as satisfactory service as would be assured under private op- eration. They also claim that by op- erating these ships the government is taking away trade from private con cerns, and causes loss where other wise there would be gain.
 Congress is evidently trying to put more business into government and less government into business, but in it's customary way, it is muddling the water and catching no fish.
