Nay Face Coal Famine.
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. May God's richest blessings
rest and abide with you all.
