Charlotte housekeepers are comi'luln- Im about the scarcity of WiOd. The talk haa been so general, and now that blunts may order of the in the wood market The fact is that there has never been at this period of the year bo little sup ply In the local yards, and wood men acknowledge scores of times each day that they cannot fill this or that order. Said on leading wood dealer yester day: "I could sell 1,000 cords to-day and In email amount to housekeepers, if I had them and could deliver them. I fmve to tell my customers I'll do the best I can as soon as I can there's no guarantee, generally, as t, time of de livery." But thnt was the durk side of tile i-ture. There Is another, and a brighter .one, which The observer Is glad to how to Its friends. This week the shortage Is to be re plaoed by a fairly ample' amount, he- i cordltiir to the best itulhorH'y. for If the rallroadM will do their part., there will b hundreds of cords of wood arrive in th city within a few days. .There In no trouble In getting' plenty of good oak and pine "up the road," us the 1 nopular bases of supplies are called.

' But these have' not been enough, I and so n great many people have been disappointed In getting In their wood : supply. Yet the railroad -has simply faced It na a business proposition.
