MANY AGREE WITH SCHWAB ESTIMATE OF 4O,0OO,OOO TONS Steel Production Expected to Reach This Figure in
 About Four Years
CHARLESTON SENDS
 HER COAL TO CUBA
Is Building Up Fine Business Which Has Nothing to do With War or War Orders-Symp-
 toms of Prosperity
By HOLLAND

New York, November 30.-(Special) Charles M. Schwab is not alone in his es- timate of an annual steel and iron pro- duction of as much as 100000 tons with in the next four or five years. For it Is understood that without exception the men who are leaders in the steel and iron industry are persuaded that MT. Schwab's estimate will be found to have been an accurate one. It does not dis agree with an estimate and prediction which were made by Abram S. Hewitt when speaking to the members of the British Steel and Iron institute about 20 years ago. MT. Hewitt did not give fig ures but he did tell the iron and steel manufacturers of Great Britain that the United States is sure to take away the prestige England for so many years en- joyed as the worlds leader in the iron this prestige away from Great Britain we must produce yearly a tonnage sub stantially equal to the figures MT. Schwab gave.
 MT. Schwab agrees with those who re- pert that we are now producing ton- mage of 37.50t, COG So that we shall have to gain cnly 3,eo0,Ooo tons more if we are to obtain the figure named by MT. Schwab as our iron and steel tonnage not later than the year 1920.
 One of the remarks made by MT. Schwab, as quoted when he visited Pitts burg few days ago, was the statement that war orders do not cut as big figure from the point of view of tonnage as is commonly believed to be the case. Ton mage experts" MT. Schwab is quoted as saying, "are not so very big But ton nage experts of peaceful kinds are to be large and increasing after the war closes, and this is regarded as the important feature of our present commercial and industrial situation. Rebuilding in Eu- rope after the war is ended will entail an enormous amount of American appa- ratus and machinery. One of the leading men of finance said this morning that not yet has the American people any compre- henson of the devastation to industrial plants and to railroads which the war has caused in continental Europe. Many of the railroads are utilizing bridges of temporary construction. Some of them find their roadbeds and rails almost worn out. Many of the industrial plants in France and Belgium must necessarily be almost completely reconstructed. There is no spi:tce to So for the materials with

By MRS. J. E. REID.

Mrs. Wilson Searight leaves on De- cember 15 to make her home in Mem phis. Mir Searight has made a re- cent splendid business connection there, and it is with great regret their many friends will receive the news.
 Mrs. Searight has been faithful worker for human upiift ever since she has been among us. Her influence has been felt among thousands of weary travellers, and her going will leave va cant an office in the city that no one else can fill. She worked for the love of humanity, and clasped the hand of the down and outs with a tenderness that touched the suffering soul. She for many months, even several years, received a salary from the city for well fare service, but even that was inade- quate for the amount of service rem

Many other bits of information similar in general principle have been received in New York, not only from the south, but from other parts of the coun- try, which, taken as a whole, are re- garded as sustaining the statement made by MT. Schwab in Pittsburg that already the United States is the dominant nation of the world, having secured that posi- ton even while the European war was pending, and certain, in his view, to main- tain it after the war is ended.

 membered that the Germanic countries did not reach the romantic in music until
 later period, while England has scarcely
 reflected anything else in music, having never produced such Fundamental and se- rious schools of musical composers as the Teutonc peoples. Is it because her people are less profound in music culture ana

 and Wales-they lay great store upon the
 Works or Handel, Haydn and Mendels-
 sohn particularly, as these great figures
 favored England in much of their works. The aria from Haydn's Creation on the programme is one of the best known from that large work, which ranks among the first half dozen oratorios of the world. This work as a whole was rem dered in this city in the first May festi- val, in 1899, under the direction of Benja- min Guckenberger, and it's many beauties are perhaps well remembered-or should be. ilF tl,Mu The club Is fortunate also in having the

NEW DECATUR
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED IN JACKSON HIGHWAY MEETING, SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 16 IN BIRMINGHAM

New Decatur November 30.-(Special) Miss Mabel Parker, one of the popular girls of the younger social set here, had a narrow escape from death early last night when her clothing was ignited by an explosion of beeswax that was being heated on the stove for the purpose of waxing the floor. The young woman was badly burned about the chest, arms and back before the flames were extinguished by her mother, Mrs. Oliver Parker who enveloped her daughter In a quilt. Mrs. Parker's hands were burned. During the excitement the house was set on fire, slight damage being done before the flames were conquered by neghbors who had come to the rescue.

Miller, for many years foreman of the foundry of the Louisville and Nash at his home early this morning by his daughter Mrs. Thomas Bankston. who had gone to the room to replenish the fire This was the third sudden death here since last Thursday, all being at- tributed to heart trouble. MT. Miller had been i'll for about two weeks, but Is said to have been dismissed by his physicians the day before his death. He was 6S years of age, prominent Mason, and skilled iron worker. The Masonic lodge here will be in charge of the funeral arrangements. Interment will take place tomorrow at City cemetery.

 Indications are that the meeting to be held in Birmingham on December 16 for the purpose of maturing plans for secur- ing the adoption of the Alabama route of the Jackson highway will be largely attended by local good roads enthusiasts. Much interest centers here in the selec- tion of the Bee Line" route and the bridging of the Tennessee river.

THE HAVANA FERRY

Cautiously enough this demonstration Of Charleston's importance as a port of for eigi. commerce is made within day or two of the publication of another report from the south which also tells of large growth of our peaceful foreign trade. The late Henry M. Flagler did not live long enough to know that what he predicted for his ocean ferry which es- tablished unhroSen freight communica- tion between the United States and Cuba would be abundantly justified within year after that freight ferry line was es- tablished. The earnings since January of this gigantic freight boat which can transport between Key West and Havana 30 loaded freight cars, making round trip in 24 hours, made 1t possible to over come q slight deficit in the gross earn ings in the main east coast line of Flor ida. So successful has this commerce. bearer been that it has been found nec- essary to place contracts for the con- struction of another steamer of like ca- pacity.
 A dispatch to the Manufacturers Rec ord of Baltimore from Charleston tells of the annexation of the Sea Islands which lie eff the coast. This has been ac- complished by the construction perhaps of a large bridge by means of which these Sea Islands, which produce perhaps the finest cotton fibre grown anywhere in

SYMPTOMS OF PROSPERITY

Reports have come to New York With in a few days that tell a story of pros perity, some of which is entirely new. This is especially true of the south. That monumental enterprise into which with courage and heavy investment of capital the late Norman B. Ream, T. Jefferson Coolidge and the banking house of Blalr Bros ventured few years ago, which is now the Clinchfield railroad, is De- ginning to achieve the first fruits Of the undertaking. It has made Charleston an important port for the shipment Of coal to ether lands. A few days ago there were skipped from Charleston to Cuba nearly 500 tons of coal. This was first shipment. There will have been shipped before January 1 probably more than 2o- 900 tons of coal. This is not war order. It is an export which strongly hints at q high development of foreign trade be- tween Charleston and foreign ports. It is a foreign trade that is peaceful ana mus. mean great deal for the future development not only of Charleston, but of the Clinchfield railroad. It is one of the signs of assured domestic prosper ity-at least it is so spoken of by those in this city who have had information about the trade.
