This 0 figure leads all other months, it was 6 said. The commission is getting out a circular letter to all persons and * firms paying the gasoline tax and is warning them for the last time that failure to meet the payments within t the time prescribed by the law will -v,Vnaw tv?nfl1+ios h^rwifter. The f MAC All 11V.W T j commission has threatened to get "hard boiled" several times and now 7 makes the statement without fear of 3 contradiction that it has ceased to I be patient and will become real 51 "hard" on all persons not paying the 0 tax promptly hereafter. This has Dj become necessary because of soj much delay. 5 6 SUPPLY OF COAL SHORT g Dial Point* Out Injustice Caused by "Bootleggers'* Washington, gept. 23.?Continu-, ing his efforts toward securing 5 coal for South Carolina industries,' Senator Dial has again brought the ^ matter before the Interstate Commerce Commission and the railroad administration. He pointed out the injustice in the present practice which permits the coal "bootleg-j ? ger" to get possession of and sell q coal at $5 and 6 a ton. while the man who holds a perfectly legitimate contract with the mine operit ator is not able to get any coal at any price. e Senator Dial insisted that somea thing was wrong somewhere and n that such a condition should not longer be permitted. As one solution of the matter he proposed e that the railroads which now have a generous supply of coal divert :. some of this supply to the cotton mills. This would not only give the mills what they need badly (but would also serve to break the congestion existing on many of the - railroad lines. He also urged high^ ea* demurrage. I This matter is now being considI ered iby the interstate Commerce 6 Commission and the railroad ad^ ministration. 3 TELEPHONE FIGHT 0 ON AT CLEMSON 0 Anderson, Sept. 23.?Applying 0 for an injunction <vtilch would re0 strain the towns of Calhoun and Clemson College as well as indivi3 duals concerned, from taking ac ? tion against the Southern Bell ?
