their guests on an informal trip to
the County Farm yesterday Hon. Her

ing visited 1t since the erection Of
the juvenile stockade. The afternoon

inspecting the farm. One of it's pro-

tribute by the members of the party,
who were a unit in their praise OF
its excellent quality. The visitors ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased

THE C0ALING STATION.
What Conversational Influences Can
md Cannot DO.

From the Beaufort Is. c. Gazette.
Admiral Bradfords recommendation
that the South Atlantic coaling sta
ton be located at Port Royal brought
forth an immediate protest from the
Charleston papers. The News and
Courier insisted that such action
should not "be tolerated" as there
is every reason for establishing the
depot here (CharIeston) that there is
for establishing 1t at Port Royal.
1t would manifestly be better
to have the dry dock, repair station
and coal dock for this section of the
coast all at one place"
The point Admiral Bradford made
In this last report land has made in
others) is that Port Royal is superior
to Charleston" for a coaling station.
This point our contemporary ignores.
The Admiral does not propose to have
his coal pigeon-holed just because the
chief of the Bureau of Yards and
Docks Is willing to have his dry dock
pigeon-holed. Despite all the claims
of the engineers at Charleston as to
having twenty-six feet on the bar, the
fact remains, II our records are cor
+ itSb, tHdt tlO snip uFdNlHE dB nUuCn as
twenty-five feet has ever entered
Charlestons harbor. Steamers OF much
lighter draft find the entrance at all
times difficult and often hazardous.
This fact Is notorious and II would be
ridiculous to place coal behind such a
barrier. Suppose the Indiana or any
one of the battleships should need coal
on their return from the maneuvers in
the Caribbean this winter and had to
rely on Charleston, we would then have
the spectacle Of ship lying off the
bar at sea receiving coal In barges
Whereas the same ships could steam
directly to the steel wharves at the
Port Royal station.
1t is pretty well understood at The
department that the decision to build
a yard at Charleston was based on mis-
representation as to the conditions at
Charleston.
But the most convincing argument
Port Royal could wish is written on the
book of the Secretarys yacht II
recites that when CharIeston's bar was
crossed twenty feet were found on the
bar and twenty-seven feet three miles
TO seward of the bar proper; while
thirty-one feet was the least depth
found on the Port Royal bar on Thurs
day, with no shallow water seward.
and on going out Saturday morning
thirty-three feet was the shallovest
depth in the bar channel.
The congressional influences that
have done so much for Charleston
may vote her a coaling station, but
they. cannot get the battleships into
her harbor,
