STRESSES IMPORTANCE
OF BUYINGCOAL NOW
The importance of consumers im
mediately purchasing and storing
coal in anticipation of their fall and
winter requirements is stressed by
President W. A. Winburn, of thei
Central of Georgia Railway, who has
adressed a letter to the industries
located along the lines of the Central.
Information received by the railroad
indicates that this matter has not
been given attention by either large
or small consumers, and unless im
mediate steps are taken, Mr. Winburn
believes, consumers are (confronted
by the probability of a shortage of
transportation and the possibility of
a rise in price of coal. The letter
follows:
"May I direct your attention to the
importance of consumers purchasing
and storing coal now, in anticipation
of their fall and winter requirements.
If large consumers fail to do this, it
is probable that they will experience
difficulty in getting coal later in the
season when the railroads are taxed
with a movement of general traffic,
even heavier than is the present re
cord-breaking volumn.
"The roads have taken every pos
sible measure to provide adequate
transportation, including vast pur
chases of new equipment. Th#*
Central of Georgia, for instance, is
now receiving delivery of twenty new
freight locomotives, and 500 new coal
cars,. But with all this, indications
point to a shortage of transportation
this fall, unless steps are taken to
move as much coal as possible during
the remainder of the summer.
"By laying in their coal supply now
while there is plenty of transportation,
coal consumers will avoid future in
convenience and probable delay.
Moreover if the demand for coal ex
cedes the supply that can be trans
ported in the fall months, the effect
will probably be to increase the price
of fuel.
‘•.The Central of Georgia is taking
its own advice in this matter. By
the first of September it will have
"extraordinary storage’’ not less than
100,000 tons of coal, besides the reg
lar storage in chutes and bins of 30,-
000 tons. By so doing it will release
equipment for the use of its patrons
that would otherwise be demanded
by its own requirements.
“The industries can, by purchasing
and storing coal to the capacity now,
aid business in general and serve
the interest of the whole country."
RACE PREJUDICE IS
GROWING IN THE
NORTHERN CITIES
ATLANTA, Ga—'“Race prejudice
against the negro is decidedly on
the increase in the North, and at
the same time is growing noticeably
less in Georgia.’’ This statement was
made today by T. J. Wooster, Jr.,
Secretary of the Georgia Committee
on Race Relations, which organiza
tion has interested itself actively
since its organization in tracing
cases of injustice to Georgia negroes
and correcting them.
Reports from Northern cities,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chi
cago and Philadelphia show that in
creased prejudice and an increasing
number of clashes between whites
and blacks have resulted from the
migration of the Southern negro to
the North. These reports particular
ly show that the foreign element of
the Northern cities hate the negro
because of competition of labor and
because the negroes are overflowing
into the foreign quarters of the
Northern industrial centers.
The negro, the figures and reports
show, is far better off in the indus
trial centers of the South than he is
in similar centers in the North,
according to Mr Wooster. Race wars
in the North have resulted in the
death of more negroes than lynchings
in the South ever have, and a survey
of past years show a definite rela
tionship between negro migration to
northern centers and race wars in
those centers.

WAGE TOTAL IN U. S.
IS FAST GOING UP
Industrial Payroll Peak Nears 1920
Record. 42,500,000 Persons Busy.
Increasing by leaps and bounds,
wages throughout America fast are
approaching the peaks of 1920. The
nation’s payrolls, lumped in a gigantic
total, approach $1,200,000,000 a week.
The army of workers, counting all
heads, is nearly 42,500,000 strong.
The pay of the men, women and
children, on these rolls, averaged in
all industries, is barely $1 a week
less than it was at the height of the
post-war boom.
These estimates are made from
official figures announced by the de
partment of labor covering 2,250,000
employes of more than 6,000 estab
lshments in 47 lines of endeavor.
There is no such thing now as in
voluntary idleness in the United
States. The labor shortage feared
alike by city manufacturer and rural
farmer has become a reality.
In the building trades this short
age of labor has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in stimulating
wages to another spurt. Skilled me
chanics in these trades now are
making bigger wages than ever be
fore.
Plasterers, plumbers, bricklayers,
' carpenters, painters and some other
skilled workmen have developed into
$5,000 a year men in hundreds of
cases, with $7,500 not uncommon as
the annual earnings.
The average wage reported to the
bureau of labor for 2,500,000 workers
—a little more than five per cent of
all the wage earners in the United
States, including salaried workers —
was at the rate of about $1,400 an
nually on the basis of May earnings.
If that average is maintained for
the other 95 per cent of the country’s
employes the annual payroll totals the
staggering sum of $59,500,000,000.
That figure is not so high as the
payroll of 1920 by about $1,500,000,-
000. During that busiest of all years
in American history the total number
and their earnings were $61,000,000,-
000.

RID HIM OF BOILS.
Gentlemen: A few years ago I
suffered with rheumatism and had a
great many boils in the spring of
the year. For the past seven years
i have made it a rule to take from
3 to 6 bottles of Harris’ 1-2-1 Blood
Remedy each year. Since I began
this treatment I have been entirely
free from boils and very seldom
feel any of my old rheumatic trou
ble. I always keep a few bottles of
your medicine in my home, ana it i
used by my whole family.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM CRENSHAW.
