outside of the car shortage and
difficulty in getting production
promptly moved there is nothing
awry with the industrial landscape
at home or elsewhere in the ceun-
try to which Birmingham sells.
With return of shopmen repair of

Blowing in of the largest blast

Smith Coal Co. Has
The Best Coal and
Good Supply of 1t

When J. r. Smith of the Smith Coal
the Montevallo and Black Creek Goals
for domestic use. says "the best coal"
there Is no chorus Of dispute COM
ing to the fore. The quality OF
Montovallo coal has never been ar
gued except one way and that in the
affirmative. It's merits are beyond
cavil. AS for Black Creek, 1t also
is In the pictures in the category
of high-class coal, and none deny
that
MIR. Smith Is in position to care for
customers out of his three yards In
Elyton, Fairview and Southside, hav-
ing a stock of 5000 to 5000 tons with
more coming in weekly on, contracts
with the mines. Present prices range
considerably under what they were
at this time last year. being 81 for
Montevallo furnace nut, IS for No. 2
and larger nut, and $3.50 for fancy
Montevallo lump. Black Creek lump,
an ideal domestic coal, Is sold at
$7.75. These prices stand for re-
mainder of the month.
On October / the retail yards will
be charged the 20 per cent wage adj
vance, etc, by operators and this win
probably boost coal s1.25 per ton at
retail. Now Is mighty good time,
it is agreed, to think seriously about
coal. An order this week will count
for economy.

the Oldest of the retail coal firms and
mono is held In higher respect in the
trade at large or by its customers.
Prompt delivery and honest statement

Mr.. Durham Talks of
Dependable Battery Service
Makes Valuable Suggestions That
Should Profit Users of Batteries.

radio service" said Mr. T. L. Dur
ham, manager of the local Exide SER
vice station, requires battery with a
dependable voltage; that iss a battery
whose voltage after a few minutes
use will not drop to point where it
becomes necessary to make frequent
adjustments of the apparatus.
There is only one way to be as
sured of this, and that is to buy. only
new batteries and only those made by
a firm with a reputation for making
dependable batteries ,sG-.
also, it is very desirable and really
important to. buy battery that has
behind it a service organization which
will help the radio fan prolong the
life of his battery. 80 =
Much depends on the proper care
of storage battery, as many motor
lists who use them in their cars, will
testify. This doesn't mean that storage
batteries are hard to care for, but on
the contrary the rules are so few and
simple that many people fail to be
impressed by the Importance of rigid
ly following them. In this the proper
service organization can help by
teaching the radio fan how to take
care of his battery 1850 e.
Then lot of radio fans don t
know what kind of battery to buy,
as such terms as voltage and am
pere hours are bewildering. We are
answering questions every day at our
service station and we are glad to tell
any radio enthusiast or prospective
owner of set all we know about bat
teries and we issue a broad invitation
to the good folks OF Terrell county to
use this service to the limit"

DATE SET is MUCH LATER
THAN HERETOFORE. REGIS
TRATION IS REQUIRED.

met Saturday and called primary

cent years, it having been the custom
for some time to nominate these Off
Gals in the early spring.
AS was the case at a former meet
ing of the committee the two women
members were not present Saturday.

ton that the women of Dawson are
not interested in politics.
The following resolutions governing
the primary were adopted:
Resolved by the city democratic
executive committee now in session
that primary election be held at the
court house in Dawson, in the manner
prescribed for holding elections, on

time prescribed by law, and that all
white residents OF the city who are
legal voters and shall have registered
with the city clerk ten days prior to

to vote in said primary.
Resolved further, that for the pur-
pose of defraying the expenses of this
election there shall be paid to the sec
rotary of this committee by each can
didate for mayor $40, and by each

shall be paid to the secretary OF the
committee, R. E. Bell by Sept. !,
1922. The name of any candidate in
default shall not appear on the official
