Business Handled all a Single
Track Can be Made to do.
Twelve Extra Locomotives in Service
and Officials Working Night
and Day.

The railroad boys have been
putting the rollers under them
the past week, sure enough.
They had to. Else there would
have been general buryin' of
the Darlington and Howell yards
and the Henderson and st. Louis
divisions under an avalanche Of
coal. At one time during the
past week there were $4,000 tons
of coal on cars in the Darlington
yards, and the regular equip.
ment doing what it could to keep
things going. Friday and Sat
urday there were some twelve
additional locomotives brought
from other divisions to the Hen
derson and ST. Louis divisions
and every thing was run double
header, with preference given the
coal traffic. Trains have been
sent double head to slaughter
vile from Darlington and the
extra engines then returned here
for fresh service. North of
Slaughters one engine can pull
rs much as two this side. From
Howell. the traffic has had the
same hurry-up behind 1t and
cApditions oftthe coal business
gradually have come to be very
good. One night recently a
train came here from the north
with eight big freight locomo-
tives and sixty-five cars, engines
all working, all moving as one
train under one set of orders.
This extraordinary condition of
the coal trade and the manner IN
which the railroad is now hand
ling it, is attracting much favor
able outside comment, and is
one of the principal matters of
interest in Hopkins and adioin-
ing counties as well as along the
line of the road north of here.
There have been something like
100 movements in twenty four
hours between darlington and
jacksonville, and that is send
ing trains over a single track
road with some regularity. The
single track, in fact, is the only
drawback and as much is being
put over as. a single track will
carry. All hands have been
working strenuously n e re
TIalnmaster Wise even "worked
trick" himself,oue night, and
"Grif" who, until lately was our
Chief Dispatch" LETT his work
as assistantto the superintendent
of terminals at Nashville and
came here for a week to work
"trick" in the emergency.
Col. Bill Sheridan, In his ca
pacity as transportation expert,
has made Darlington headQuar.
ters temporarily and has been or
the Job night and day to-see that
his road did its partin handling
all the business that came TO il
from the busy coal mines of this
immediate field and all Western
Kentucky. These are some Of
the details of the activity that
has been and is now on from the
superintendent Office down Oh
these two divisions, and will
the lively support of the trans
portation department at Louis
Vile. This activity will con
tinue, with Darlington as the
central point In the handling o.
this big coal traffic, for some
time to come. Last night was
