TWO-HUNORED TON CARGO
OF COAL CAUSES A STIR
ARRIVED AT THE SMYRNA LANDING WHARF
ON BARGE EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
Teams Were iu Line Far up the Road and the
Like of 1t Ia Dead Winter Has Never
Been Seen-COaI Sells Rapidly.

A slight relief was given to the coal
famine in this vicinity on Monday
when a cargo of two hundred tons of
coal arrived by barge, for the Smyrna
Transportation and Manufactur ing
Company. AS soon as its arrival was
made known the offices of the Trans
portation Company was beseiged with
requests and had Manager A. E. Jar
dine 1000 tons he could have disposed
of it readily. The coal supply IN this
vicinity was very low and many were
burning wood to heat their stores and
residences. Like every other town
east, the situation was becoming Sc
rious and very announcement of the
arrival of "black diamond" was
enough to cause stir and the demand
was far in excess of the supply. The
scene at Smyrna Landing Monday
morning was not unlike the busiest
days of fruit season. Extending from
the wharf far up the road was a line of
teams waiting their turn to get coal.
Many would have taken it away by the
several tons, but Mr.. Jardine, know
ing the situation, was anxious to make
the 20O-ton cargo go as far as possible,
and in order that many families could
have little, the coal was sold in ton
and half ton lots. They are expecting
another cargo in a short while. Co.'S
griff & Reynolds have also three car
loads on the way and those who did
not get coal Monday are looking anx-
iouly for it to arrive.
