The coal famine which has al-1 ready been keenly felt in some i of the Northern cities will be brought sharply to the doors of Southern householders before the present winter ends, in the opinion of those familiar with conditions throughout the country, j T Az.nl ~? l : ! ijw\_di ucaici n aic nuw imvill^ trouble in petting sufficient pro-1 duct from the mines to meet de- j mands of the public and this contion, it is believed, will be greatly | aggravated when winter sets in in dead earnest. The price of coal at the mines has increased from $1 to $? a ton in the last few weeks and trade journals say that this is but a foretaste of what is to come, i Local dealers have raised the price about $1 a ton and say that i another sharp raise may be nec-1 essary in the near future. The dealers say that there is little profit in coal at present prices, | because of the greatly increased cost of the product at the mines. ' Cotton Prices Not Highest. It is getting to be more or less ; common to see the statement that cotton is now selling at the highest price reached since the Civil war. This is far from the fact, as the range of prices was much higher from the second year of the war on up to 1870. In the Yorkville Enquirer of February 3, 1870 local markets are quoted as follows: Rock Hill. .lanuarv rV>ttnri 231-4. Charlotte. January 31?Cotton, I 20 to 23. Chester, February I Cotton firm at 22 1-2. Yorkville, February 2?Sales , during the week at from 20 to . 23 cents. Today's market, 22 l-2c From the close of the Civil war up to January, I860, there was little or no commercial business in Yorkville, and the first quotation of cotton in The Enquirer was on January 4, 1800, when the price was given at "from 22 to 24 cents a pound in gold." Much higher prices and much lower prices prevailed later on. ? Enquirer. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and friends for the many acts of kindness shown to us during the illness and death of our beloved son.
