HUNDREDS TONS HAY DAMAGED
Farmers viii Sustain Great Loss
From Rains.


Besides damaging open cotton to
the extent of thousands of dollars of
value, the continued rains will entail a
heavy loss upon farmers who are en-
deavoring to harvest their hay crops.
On many farms about Americas near
ly the entire crop of hay, recently cut
down, is still upon the wet ground
and cannot be housed in its present
condition. In the meantime the rains
continue, and each succeeding day
but adds TO the loss already sustained.
The hay crop in Sumter is an import
ant item, having in late years grown
to be one of the principal crops, and
any damage thereto this fall will be
severely felt by the farmers.

SOFT COAL FOR FRANCE.

One far-reaching result of internal
tional Importance OF the recent steam
ship consolidation Is outlined in q spe-
cial article written for the Manufac-
turers' Record of Baltimore, by T.. f.
Saward. the coal expert, in which he
says:
THE production of coal in France is
about 100000 tons less than the fuel
requirements OF that country. and the
main source of supply for the deficit
has been Great Britain, and everyone
knows that there Is no great affection
between the peoples OF the two coun-
tries named, ana with any other source
of supply open to them, that the own
ers of the great industries OF France
would only too quickly seek that
source and avail themselves of it, and
leave 'perfidious Albion in the lurch
At the same time the coal-owner of
Great Britain finds that there is II de-
mand for all the coal he can produce to
such degree that he puts value on
il such as some of his customers are
loath to pay, and that is another rea-
son why those customers would, If
they could do so, avail themselves of
other sources of supply. 1t is for these
tilit DeeH ii
look across the sea-; there have been
inquiries for American Goals, and there
We're shipments at one time that gave
the idea of what could be done.
"Within few days it has been stat
ed that gentleman was In Paris as
the agent for the Morgan shipping
trust. the steel trust and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, negotiating huge deal
for the expectation of American btu
minous coal. This Is a plan that has
been contemplated for some years. for
the reasons above stated---the short
ened output of France as compared
with her requirements. The coal TO be
sold is expected to displace that now
sold by Wales along the Mediterran-
can coast and In France. Welsh coal
is good steam producer, but the New
River and Pocahontas product is a
close second. the latter being used by
the American navy. The negotiations
look to the expectation OF this coal
next spring, as the strike has so in
creased the price in America that it
cannot be sold with profit now. The
Rothschilds and the Credit Lyonnaise
will act as fiscal agents in Europe in
the enterprise when it is carried out
in its completeness"

The following interesting paper on
THE Operation of the Per Diem Sys-
tenn OF Settlement for Car Hire" was
read recently by NJ. d. Casey, super
intendent of car service, of the Lack
nwanna railroad, at the meeting of the
New York Railroad club in New York:
In accepting the invitation of the New
York Railroad club to present IL paper
at this meeting on 1.-THE Operation of the
Per Diem System Of Settlement for
Freight Car Hire I did so with the
knowledge that owing to the short time
tho system has been In effect the MAXI
mum benefits claimed for 1t by its strong
est supporters would not have been ac-
complished. This holds good more par
ticularly in the territory of the anthracite
coal carrying roads by reason of the coal
strike being in effect from the Inaugural
tion of per diem up to October "a, within
which period there was comparatively no
demand for coal car equipment, and the
demand for box car equipment was re-
duced very materially, this latter class
of equipment being used to some extent
in the handling of anthracite coal.
My efforts to secure from lines in diff
fercnt sections of the country the actual
results of the operation of this system in
their respective territories have, I regret
to state, been without avail, the prevail
ing impressing being that it is preferable
to give the working of it a little longer
test before judgment is passed. ! note
also that the American Railway associa-
tion has not published the replies to their
circular No. 4G3, showing the operation of
the per diem on the railroads, members
of the per diem agreement, for the rea-
son, rs I understand 1t, that the replies
furnished were incomplete. On this ac-
count l can only give the operation of the
system as it applies to the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western railroad, of
which l am car service representative.
Purpose of It.
Primarily. per diem is for the purpose
of stimulating and acceleratng the load
ing, forwarding and release of cars, and.
when released, the return of foreign cars
to owners. In this connection 7 beg to
call your attention to the following state
mcnt showing the daily average number
of Lackaw;lnna cars on their home road
during the months of July, August. Sep
tember, October and November 1901, as
