Bunkering of vessels will be re sumed, inland waterway vessels being given preference, then coastwise ship-i ping, snips flying the American flag in overseasService and last ships flying foreign flags. The order suspending fuel restric tions is effective immediately and trains will be restored at 12.01 a. my Monday. In cases where resumption of certain passenger train schedules would interfere with movement of coal: the trains will not be put back until tc situation clears up. The orders mean that thousands of industries throughout the south which have been shut down because of lack of coal will be in operation again in a short time and that stores which had to observe short hours where their light, heat or power came from con sumption of coal, wood, or .gas, may return to normal hours in time to take care of the Christmas shopping. The railroads, too, will be put in a position to take care of the rush of holiday travel. In issuing its announcement of sus pension of fuel restrictions, the com mittee thanked the -''people of the south who have observed so loyally'' the regulations and at the same time asked that coal still be conserved as much as possible.

It is asserted that miners can make from $10 to $15 a day and insists that the 14 per cent increase, which the opera tors will pay is fair to the miners. It was proposed that the public should share none of this Increase.

HECKLER TRIES TO START SOMETHING Republican Gratis Porcupine When He Undertakes To Cortier Secretary of Navy.- Hickory, Dec. 10 A heckler in Secre tary Daniels' audience here tonight grabbed a porcuoine. In a brilliant speech reviewing America's glorious part in the war, the Secretary-had re counted the wonderful prosperity the American people were enjoying and declared that he, for one, did not want to return to low prices that obtained under Republican rule: Far back in the audience a voice called -"How about 1914". "We hadn't gotten over Republican rule," came the quick re tort from Mr. Daniels and the big au dience roared and cheered. In the wake of the applause went up a hundred demands that the heckler, who was sent over by the Republican crowd engaged in hearing Zeb Walser at a side show, staged bv the More head forces to keep any of their fol low from hearing Mr. Daniel's : Democratic preachments be ejected irom uie uaii. . This demand for throwing the heck ler out was not made by the audiencS until the man persisted in his attempt to carry out his rude mission. He re peated the question and the crowd threatened .to throw him out bodily. , "No," interposed the Secretary, "Let him stay, I want him to hear the truth, let him ask his question or let him have a joint debate. . The heckler put his question. Didn't von insure cotton for $70 a bale for Wall Street: . , "No, we never insured anything for the Wall Street gang, hotly replied the secretary. "We took control away from them and allowed the farmers to get decent prices for their cotton. We insured the ships which enabled them to move cotton from the congested ports of America to all parts of the world and sent the price or , cotton soaring." , The incident tonight had more cam paign flavor to it than anything done in the district until this time. Secre tary Daniels' speech was full of fire .and aroused the big audience to hign pitches of enthusiasm. The audience was at all timet keenly responsive. Cotton ginned prior to December 1 amounted to 8.833,712 running hales including 99,656 round bales, 24,240 bales of American-Egyptian and 6,689 bales of Sea Island, the census bureau announces. Prior to December 1, last year, ginnines were 9.671,414 running hales, including 132,662 round bales, 10,170 bftlos of American-Egyptian tnd 2S,fii8 bales of Sea Island. the people's money had been spent ;n uplifting the state ',; He said that einoe the Democrats came In power in N. C. in 1900 they had built a school on an average every day in the year. He said he had how ever, o intention of discussing state politics, because the Campaign was in behalf of Mr. Hoey, the Democra tic candidate for Congress, and Mr. Gardner entered into a discussion of other issues. He referred to the malignant campaign in the North last fall when Northern Republicans raised the sectional issue in order to prejudice voters against the South and used as their slocran, "The South is in the Saddle". He said that the Republican party in the North regarded North Carolina and the South as a conquered pro vince.' . The republican campaign in this district is being directed by Representa tive Fess. of Ohio, who, while presi dent of Antioch college, permitted a negro graduate to enter his home on the same basis ot equality as other members of the graduating class. 1 don t sav that Mr. Morehead is r favor of social equality," added the lieutenant governor, "but 1 do say he has no business mixing up with a man who is. and thus bring the racial ques tion into the campaign in this district." He then launched into a recital of the beneficial acts passed- bv the democratic party and made an eloquent appeal for Mr. Hoey. "We want a man in Congress from this dis trict who will help to keep this good work going," he declared. "Hoey is that man. He will support every measure that looks to the betterment of conditions in the country and parr ticularly in the southland." : It hasn't been so many years ago when there were 128,000 adults in North Carolina who could neither read nor write, according to Mr Gardner. No less than 5,000 men and women have been given instruction in these in the past two years under a demo cratic regime. "Dumncratic nrincinW have been in evidence all through the history of the world. True, they have not al- i ways been known as these, but they have been with us all through the ages. - "Right is- always at the forefront under a democratic administration. It has never been bought, but it always manased to get there iust the same. Never was this showed more clearly and more convincingly than under the administration of Woodrow Wilson." The lieutenant governor waxed warm wnen ne com oi me auacKs made upon the President by the re publican party, lie declared no other man since the civil war has been made the object, of so many unwarranted criticisms and assaults as President Wilson. "The rerublicans are waging a campaien of criticism. They cannot point to what they have done, but tell you what they would nave done, Mr. Gardner told his audience v he could not understand how any south ern man could vote the republican ticket in view of the treatment south ern republicans have received at the hands of their party leaders in the past. Few men from this part of the country have been called to Washing ton to take important posts wnen uie G. O. P.'s were in power. Before Closing. Mr. Uardner touched on the federal reserve act, which he said saved the country from a panic in 1914 :the farm loan act and the league of nations. He dwelt on this pact for several minutes, explaining it clearly and intelligently. In referring to the league of nations, which has as its object, the stonoing of war. he said that it some thing is not done to prevent war that the next war waved with poison gas and other modern and most nistruc- tive weapons, will completely destrr y civilization. In concluding. Mr. Gardner said we can't vote for President Wilson Tues day, but can vote for Hoey, who be lieves in the great principles of Presi dent W-ilson. Lincolnton Frida" night, in an address in which he briefly reviewed the life of Mr. Hoey, to the great interest of the audience. DEMOCRATS OFFER TO BET THAT HOEY WILL BE ELECTED Raleigh, Dec. 12, Fifth district Re publicans here today betting on John Motley Morchead's election over Clyde Hoey- found themselves swamped by Democratic money even at first, then at a two to one ratio. The chestiness of the Democrats is accounted for. They had the money and rubbed it into the faces of the Republicans who historically have as sociated Democracy and penury. Anyway it was impossible to find any sort of a bet that would stand up.

Senator Hitchcock's acceptance of the invitation to come into the ninth was communicated Friday to Senator Simmons and Senator Overman. Both of the Tar" Heel senators had urged the Nebraska solon to come down and help out Hoey. " . Senator Hitchcock has been the Democratic leader in the senate for the past six months. He has handled the treaty fight for the President and has a good chance of succeeding the late Senator Martin as the minority leader of the upper chamber. It is expected that a big . crowd will greet the Nebraska senator and Democratic leader in Charlotte and that his speech will give a whirlwind finish to the campaign. SENATORS FIND PRESIDENT MENTALLY CAPABLE. The foreign relations committee of the Senate. Saturday, delegated twr Senators Fall and Hitehcock-to confer with President Wilson on the Mexican crisis and report whether in their opinion the President, by reason of his illness, was unable to exercise his functions. After, a conference that lasted 45 minutes they agreed that he was in touch with recent devel opments and was mentally keen enough to form judgments on the miestions confronting the nation. A Washington dispatch says the discussion with the President produced no definite conclusion as to Mexican relations, but it was regarded every where as bearing on a subject of end less speculation in congressional cir cles, whether the long illness of . the chief executive has to any extent ren dered him physically incapable of the duties of the presidency. Propped up in bed, the President talked oi manv features of the Mexican tangle. With a rieht hand and arm free above the bed cover, the Senators said, he shook hands with them and tool: up and read Sapers which were on the table beside im. He was described as weak and nervous, but it was said he lested about exaggerated reports of his ill ness and promised within a few days to give Congress his advice on what it should do about Mexico. . "He appeared to be a sick, man," said Senator Fall afterward, ''but mentally alert and perfectly able t o cone with any question with which h might have to deal. He appeared to me, certainly, in as good mental condi tion as any man could be after being ill for nine or ten weeks." The other delegate of the commit tee, Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska, said the President seemed greatly improved since he saw him two weeks ago. '- F. R. PLONK.

If any parent feels unable to send a nickel apiece, let him send a penny apiece; and others who feel dis posed may send dimes or quarters. But the hope is to have every child in North Carolina feel that he has had a part, even if ony a penny gift, in tho erection of a beautiful memorial to a great man. In after life, when a boy or girl of today goes to Raleigh and sees the beautiful Aycock memorial, he win be glad to think, "l gave a ime toward it," and even if he never goes to Raleigh he will be a better citizen for having expressed his grati tude to the memory of one who so loved and served the school children of North Carolina . - It is hoped that no school in the county will fail to observe "Aycock School Improvement Day" next B'ri day. - Remember "Aycock School Improve ment Day" at your local schoolhouse f riday, December 19 . and death.

Notice Of Advance in The Subscription Price The Lincoln County News hereby announces that beginning Jan. 1, 1920, the subscription price will be advanc ed from $1.50 a year to $2.00 a year. We find this absolutely necessary on account ot the unprecedented ad vances in blank paper, and other articles needed in publishing the News which have more than doubled recent ly. During the month of December renewals and new subscriptions will be accepted at the present rate of $1.50 per year. If you renew your sub scription and pay in advance during this month (December) the increased rate will not effect you until your time expires again. We have been slow to make this ad vance. W'e must increase the rate to meet increased cost of operation. Our patrons have been loyal and true, ma ny ot them taking the paper ever since it started years ago and as we give a . twice-a-week paper we believe they will stick to us in this crisis. In comparison to the price of other things, The News is cheap at $2 pec year. With print paper costing $8 "er hundred and indications of its costing 10 dollars in 30 days (and hard to buy at any price) there is nothing left for us to do but make a small increase. We ask everybody who has not done so to renew their subscription this month while it is still $1.50 a year. After Jan. 1, 1920, it will be advanced to $2 per year.
