Than in Germany. London, Oct. 14.?The Press Association from a reliable source, publishes an economic review of the conditions of the Central Powers, in the course of which It says that as a result of a special investigation ordered by the German chancellor of the 1917 harvest, it is estimated that the yield will be 40 per cent lower than in normal years for wheat, and 45 per cent lower for i ye, oats, and barley. The total harvest of wheat ana rye amounts of 7,500,000 tons, compared to 132,000,000 tons in 1913. The shortage will be partly compensated from the Rumanian granaries. The reviewer considers that the food situation in Germany during the coming winter, will depend mainly on the results of the potato harvest. The situation in Austria-Hungary it is declared, is worse than in Germany. In Houor of >IcMick.

Price is High and There is Uncertain, ty About Being Able to Get it. A serious problem confronts GreenI ville on account of the lack of coal ! for use in the city. The retail coal dealers here state that they have little or no coal and that they are not able to obtain any. The cotton mills j also are in need of this fuel and have I found difficulty in getting the amount : they now have on hand. ' Meanwhile Greenville shivers. The I cool weather has also come and the cold weather is en route. However, j no coal is en route and the problem | as to what will be done is a perplexI ing one. Other cities are in the same i dilemma, for there is a scarcity of | coal the nation over and dealers find i it difficult to obtain it from the mines. i i "We have no coal on hand except 1 a small amount of steam coal," said a local dealer yesterday, "and we dc not know when we will be able to get J any. Orders come in daily for coal j and we are unable to fill them. We j are doing our best to obtain coal, but ! so far, have been unsuccessful and it now seems likely xthat we will have tc do without for some time. "Fortunately for them, the majorii ty of the cotton mills have a good t supply of coal on hand," continued j the dealer, "but most mills are now trying to get the fuel in large quantiI ties though none have been able tc j do so within the past few weeks un| less the order was filed severa! months ago. 'The coal dealers are anxious tc ! supply the people with this necessitj | and will do so as far as they are able But there is a shortage of coal ir Greenville and the problem is a most serious one to us, as well as the genj eral public." i When asked in regard to the prices ' on coal in Greenville this winter, the I dealer stated that the prices will be | the same as those charged in 1915 | plus a maximum of 30 per cent | of the margin of that year. This goes into effect immediately, the governhaving taken control of the coal industry and decreed that the dealers shall fix their prices so as to limii I their gross margins over cost to the ! average of such gross margins during the year 1915, plus 30 per cent, max I imum of the 1915 margin. According to the local retailer, this will mean that the price of coal her< this winter will be about $7.00 a ton which is a reduction from the pres Largest Ex isit Us in Coats,! / rive almost daily; therefore, tl wing busier each day, as the si Therefore, you may come to lies.

"X e and Mi i L A^A A4A J^A A^V A^A A^A An Unpolished Reflection. John Philpot Curran, the eminent Irish barrister and orator, once met his match in a pert, jolly, keen eyed Paddy, who acted as hostler at a large stable and who was up as a witness in a case of a horse buying dispute. Curran much desired to break down the credulity of this witness and | thought to do it by making the man . contradict himself by tangling him up I in a network of adroitly framed quesj tions, but all to no avail. The host'| ler was a companion to Sam Weller. i His good common sense and his equa; nimity and good nature were not to be overturned. By and by, Curran, in towering > wrath, belched forth, as not another . counsel would have dared to do in the presence of the court: '.'Sirrah, you are incorrigible. The 1 truth is not to be got from you, for it is not in you. I see the villain in j your face." , 'T faith, yer honor," said the wit -? i - a ? j ness, with tne utmost simplicity ana truth and honesty, "my face must be moighty clane and shinin' indade if . it can reflect like that."?New York ' Sun. v 1 > ent price of about $8.00 or $8.50. > "We haven't taken time to figure 1 out the price yet," the dealer remarki ed-in a jocular manner.
