10000. 600 Tons of Coal.

Spartanburg.-That the Jenkins-Mc-
Roberts, e-Durham coal inter-
ests operated as the Consolidated Coal
Company of Kentucky, with mines 10
Gated on a line tapping the Elkhorn
Extension of the c., c. & o. Railroad,
have contracted for the delivery Of
80, 200, 900 tons of coal to foreign in
terests and that it will move through
Southern ports, is the report here.
Confirmation is lacking but. there is
decided interest in the possibilities OF
such a movement for the railroads of
this territory. 1T would mean that
the Elkhorn extension Of the Clinch-
field road would be rushed to compile
ton and put in operation without de-
lay, as this is the line over which
the bulk Of the coal would move as
far as Spartanburg. From here to
Charleston or Savannah it would be
handled by the Southern and the c.
G. w. C. The freight alone on such a
movement would be more than a mil
lion dollars.
For some time there have been ru-
mors that the Italian Government
was in the market for a large amount
of coal that would move through
Southern ports, while South American
countries have also been mentioned
as buying for delivery to Charleston
or Savannah.

been conducted successfully in South
Carolina during the past three years
by the United States farm demonstra-
ton forces, in conjunction with the
general education board is to be tenn
porarily abandoned, according to an
announcement by W. w. Long, state
agent of the demonstration work and
director Of the Clemson College extern
sion work. The headquarters for the
mill welfare work have been located
at Winthrop College
James L. Carbery, for three years
state agent for the mill welfare de-
partment, located at Rock Hill, has
been transferred to Beaufort, where
he will act as county farm agent. Dur
ing the past three years the mill well
fare work has been established in
more than 20 mill villages Of the state
and the improvement has been great.
The federal government has decided
not to cooperate with the general edu-
cation board in such matters and 1t Is
for this reason that the work had to
be abandoned. The work has been
highly commended by mill officers and
operatives.
