KILLED BY INCHES.
The Mississippi River Coal Trade to be
Tnken From Pittsburg.


Tnken From Pittsburg.
1t is said the Georgia Pacific Railway
Company will erect immense coal landings
and tipples at Greenville, Miss, with intent
to coal boats and to ship both up and down
the river. The enterprise is reported to be
backed by the English syndicate which has
been operating in Tennessee and Alabama,
and the combination claims to be able to de-
liver coal at the point named at cents
bushel to knock out Northern competition.
This is q cent bushel less than Pittsburg
operators claim to be able to deliver at
Greenville, profit not considered. The
Georgia Pacific Railway Company has ar
ranged for landings and ordered 100 barges
for use in shipping.
Pittsburg operators say they cannot COM
pete; then, why not dig that canal to Lake
Erie, and begin it at once? Tennessee and
Alabama cannot run coal up the Ohio and
the Beaver and compete with this section.
