Coal Shortage in Winter Pre dicted. Washington, June 18.-A coal shortage next winter which may cur tail production of iron and steel and seriously affect other industries is, foreseen by the Federal reserve board in its review tonight for the mon the of May. The situation is al ready acute in some districts accord ing to the board and production in many lines is being held down. Production of coal is being cur tailed chiefly as a result of shortage of cars, the reserve board reports. It estimated that car supply at mines in the east at only 30 per cent of nor mal. Labor difficulties, while compli cating the situation, are considered by the board as only a minor cause of the reduced coal production. No reduction of coal prices is in sight, the board says. Commenting on the far reaching effect of the car shortage and freight congestion., the reserve board states that reports of its agents indicates that the transportation tie-up is largely the result of the railroad strike which still continues over a large section of the country." The congestion if further accentuated ac cording to the board by local strikes of other groups of transportation workers. Sporadic strikes in the manufac turing industries, notably textiles continued to indicate unrest, the board says. An accurate shortage of labor on farms is reported. Wages apparently have fallen behind the ad vances in prices and cost of living, the board asserts. Little hope for a general reduction in prices is held out by the board though it suggests that changes in prices have taken place may furnish the basis for a more far-reaching alteration in the essential price structure. Changes during May, the board says have borne witness of many disturbing factors whose im portance and persistence are as yet uncertain. Considerable interruption to busi niess resulted during the month from labor and railroad difficulties, the board states, and the outlook has been such as to cause a severe curtail ment in the volume of stock and se curities transactions. Material less ening in the market value of liberty ?onds and first securities is attribut .ed to these causes. No Mercy for Pistol Carriers. At the court of sessions in this .county, adjourned last Thursday, two .men, negroes, were convicted of mur der; one of them will spend the rest of his life in prison at hard labor and the other in a few weeks will die in the electric .nair. These men killed their victims with pistols which, in defiance of the law, they carried concealed on their per sons. The juries were evidently of opin ion that a man carrying a pistol in de fiance of law takes the first step to wards committing murder. The juries in future may be depended on to hold that one guilty of thus carrying a pis tol will have to present a powerful case of self-defense to be excused for taking life. The man who is to be electrocuted practically committeed suicide when he put the "gun" in his pocket. Every other man who "totes a gun" in these times thereby places his life in a thousand times more danger from the law than he is in from assailants. The people are aroused on this subject. The juries are from the peo ple. They intend to show no mercy to the pistol carriers. They intend to send them to the chair when the op portunity offers. This is not to be the rule in Richmond county anyway. Thugs and ruffians will not be allow ed to go about the streets of Colum 'bia with deadly weapons on their persons, to the peril of law-abiding -citizens, white and black, and the .conditions are such that no clemency -we think, may be hoped from the governor and the board of pardons ?unless the circumstances be extraor -dinary. The people who carry pistols would better take the warning . If they shoot and kill, they are to have mighty little chance for their lives. Yesterday a negro woman was fined "by the recorded S100 for carrying a .concealed pistol and the punishment was none too heavy. To impose it was a kindness to her. It may save her 3rom the electric chair. The State. Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. ."Every family should keep this prep .-aration at hand ready for instant use when needed.
