T. E. Albertson and son qf Route

week to carry a load of coke for Mrr.
Armstrong. Mr. Albertson says
coke and coal aie almost as sc arce
as diamonds in Spartanburg. While
there he saw Mrs Armstrongs son
(who is in the army) bringing in a
bushel of coal which he had been
fortunate enough to get. Mr. Alberi
tion stopped in Charlotte and took
on a load of Ford parts and brought
here. The snow was also a heavy

TO FIX WOOD PRICES
Prices which may 'be charged for
wood will be fixed by the fuel ad
ministration for all parts of North
Carolina, pursuant to instructions
issued at headquarters in Greensboro
to all the local fuel committees. A
W. McAlister, the fuel administrator,
informed the local committees of his
authority from the Federal fuel ad
ministration in Washington to fix
wood prices, and advised his organ
ization how to proceed He instruct
ed the committeemen to be fair in
their price scale, allowing the dealer
a good profit, but stated that there
is no obvious reason why wood should
sell for a higher price in this State
now than it did last month.
Wood prices will be scaled to suit
the locality, with the committeemen
taking into consideration local con
ditions. A basis for computation i?
furnished by Mr. McAlister, who ad
vises a 33 per cent, to 50 per
cent, increase ia the price per cord
over the price prevailing in 1916.

saying goes: "Eventually, why not
now?"
