FOR GOVERNMENT FOOD FRIDAY
Orders for government food are
continuing to stream In at the post
ofllee, and in order to give everyone
an opportunity to take advantage of
the bargain prices offered, the list
will not be closed until Friday night,
said Moyor J. M. Dedman this morn
ing. The orders for government food
are being received by Assistant Post
master W. Spence McFall at the pust
bfflce. The statement appearing in
the Banner last night, to the effect
that money would be refunded be
cause government goods could not
be secured, was somewhat misleading,
said Mayor Dedman, who this morning
called Atlanta to ascertain the real
facts. Mayor Dedman learned that it
was possible to secure the car of food,
and said orders would continue to be
taken just as announced. Great sav
ings have been made to housewives
in buying certain classes of cannod
goods, bacon and other meats, and it
is said that the quality of the goods
has shown up well. Mayor Dedman ex
pects sufficient orders will be on hand
Friday night to order out the next car.

ciation will meet tonight at 7:30
o'clock at the banking rooms of the

tant matters will be discussed, among
them will be the assessment of back
taxes. Owing to the shortage of fuel

business houses a little earlier in the
afternoons. It is said that very few
merchants have a season's supply of
fuel on hand on account of not hav
ing storage space.

Miss Sophia Mai Shadow, who has
served so acceptably this year as the
home demonstration agent; in this
cbuiity, will not return to her work

REPRESENTATIVE PADGETT HERE
TO SPEND FEW DAYS OF REST
Hon. Lemuel Phillips Padgett has
returned from the long extra session
of congress and will remain at home
until Saturday week, taking a much
needed rest. Aside from expressing
the hope that ultimately the peace
treaty would be ratified, Mr. Padgett
did not discuss public issues.
He has been constantly on the job
at his post of duty since the extra
session convened more than six
months ago. Asked if he expected to

GOAL SALES

FUEL SITUATION IN COLUMBIA IS
DAILY GROWING MORE
ACUTE.
DEALERS HAYE SMALL SUPPLY
Fuel Cars Consigned to Local Dealers
Are Seized In Trans't Advice Is
Given "Conserve to the Utmost"
Selling in Broken Quantities.
The coal situation in Columbia Is
daily growing more serious.
Unless relief comes soon it is fear
ed that there will be real suffering In
the city. With very little coal on
hand, local dealers are now limiting
sales to a half ton per customer, and
giving advice at the time sale is made
to be extremely careful In Its use.j
This morning the Dale Grain & Feedj
Company had only a few bushels ln
the yard, but were hoping to receive
a car today. They said that they had
received no orders to limit the sale or
coal to their customers, but the mea
gre supplies which they had been re
ceiving had forced them to do this
without orders
The John A. Walker Company still
Padgett said that he had not express
ed himself on that subject having
been so busy looking after the duties
of his office.
However, it is generally understood
that Mr. Padgett will not only be a
candidate but will have no opposition.
He is unquestionably, In the opinion
of well informed observers, stronger
in the affections of his people than he
has ever been. During the past six
months be has obtained many things
that his district desired.
had one or two cars of fuel in the
yard, but with the increasing demand
this is "not a drop in the bucket.' This
limiting sales to each customer to a
company has decided on the policy of
half ton.
Sales to peddlers who have been
selling in broken quantities have been
normal, and dealers say that those
who purchase la bushel quantities
will be able to buy just as long as
they have coal for sale. There is no
evidence of profiteering of any kind,
and the local dealers are making an
earnest effort to supply the demand.
Dealers say they have ordered many
cars since the first of the month, and
had them shipped, only to have them
commandeered by the railroads.
Dealers say that one reason for the
great demand to coal this season, Is
the fact that consumers did not pur
chase their supply during tho summer
months, but waited until cold weather
came. It Is estimated that not more
tl:an 60 per cent of what bad been
bought last year at this time, has been
stored for this winter, but still the
shortage Is not so acute as It would
have been five or six years ago, w-hen
practically everyone depended u;on
Immediate deliveries.
Several of Columbia's largest enter
prises aie also threatened with a com
plete suspension of operations unless
fuel i received shortly. Some of
them have fuel enough to last them
only a week more, but this has been
true for the past two or three weeks,
the consumers, fortunately have se
cured enough from week to week to
kpop the wheels turning.
