 Practice for play was being con ducted at night and in an effort to start d fire in a heater tin can sup posed to contain coal oil was brought to the principal, at his request, and when he started to pour on the sup posed coal oil an explosion took place, the bottom of the can being blown out and thrown across the room which instantly set fire to the building as well as to the clothes and arms of Professor Matthews.

RATE VICTORY |S WON BY FLORENCE
Public Service Commission Renders Decision In Coal
 Rate Sustaining Claims
MUSCLE SHOALS BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD Florence, Ala, Dec. 20

Secretary Jones pf the Florence Chamber of Commerce announced this morning that he had been noti- fled by the Alabama public service commission that the commission had handed down a decision in the coal rate case, which had been pending for sometime, which sustained the contention of the local people for a lower rate for short line hauls. The official figures have not been re- ceived, but it is understood the de- cision will make an average reduc- tion of 40 cents per ton on coal shipped from northern and western Alabama mines. The local chamber based it's claim for a lower rate on the rate to Birmingham for short line hauls, which is used as a basic rate for the railroad. The rate to Birmingham is 56 cents per ton lower for 55-mile haul than it is to towns in northern Alabama, If the decision upholdss the claims, the rate for nearby mines will be lowered an average of 40 cents. Figures com piled by the Chamber of Commerce estimate that the saving to local peo- pie will be approximately s20,000 an- nually.

citizen in the southern part of the county has reported his eXperi- ence in the western part of this coun- ty, where he is not known. and states that his car mired up and when he went for help met with considerable trouble in convincing the men that he was not out hunting blind tigers and was abused considerably, but finally he showed to their satisfac- tion he was not on that mission and then he was helped out of the mud and his companions beat it. Later on during the trip, being after dark, they stopped to inquire the way out, and were again accused of being revenue men and cursed and made threats in the presence of the men and their wives and demonstrated fire arms, and were told to get out and stay out of that section. Accord ing the statement of this citizen he got out as quickly as possible and has no desire to return, especially in bad weather. These experiences oc- cured back next to Coosa river, near the Chiffon line.
