16.400 tons of coal, ranging in price
from 5 cents to 45 cents per ton. it
was announced today by A. S, Brower,
director of the Division of Purchase

for use In State institutions that are
equipped with automatic stokers. This
amount of coal will fill all available

care of their fuel needs until Jan. 1
or even later. The freight on this coal
from the mines to Raleigh Is $3.06 a

These prices are much lower than
any the State has yet been able to
get and are probably the lowest it
will be able -o get. Brower says.
These exceptionally low prices were
obtained at this time because most

the campaign from a different angle

Saturday, he indicated today. He will
hold up Franklin D. Roosevelt as the

effects of the negative leadership of
Mr. Hoover.
In his speech Satrday at the bar

the club of Young Democrats of Guil
ford county at the High Point muni
cipal lake. Governor Gardner expects
to present Roosevelt to the people of
North Carolina and to show that he is
the essence of the type of leadership
needed in the United States at this
time and that he reprsents the anti
thesis of the Hoover school of politics.
“Everything possible has been done
by thoee opposed to Mr. Roosevelt to
represent him as an opportunist, a
demagogue and as lacking in force
and determination,” Governor Gard

know Roosevelt know.
