BIBLE CLASS SOCIAL AND SIP.
PER.
A glorious jollifcation

A glorious jollifcation
We had last Friday night,
AT Editor Slack's on Wautauga.
And everything was bright.
In his beautiful palace home
So magnificent and nice
thinl, there is no happier man
This side of Paradise.
And it shows what a grand ambition
He had so early in life.
To build the best kind of home
And get the best kind of a wife
To put on the decorations
And give as much delight
AS Bryan's famous grape juice
We tasted once that night.
About two hundred men were there
From the Williams Bible Class;
Brother Slack was at his post
No one allowed to pass
The door without welcome
And hand-shake of the host,
And everybody talked and laughed
To see who talked the most.
We had some solos; DR.. Grove
Shot off his battery of thought,
And if John the Baptist know,
Had kept his head on Sunday
morning
He couldn't preach better than
Grove
To give the sinners warning;
And Col. Reeves is loaded and primed
For everything that is well timed.
| ate no supper at the Home
Because | knew a feast
Had been prepared by Brother Slack
For every one at least;
And | got as hungry as the Belgians
Bout half-past eight P. NJ
The speakers were hard at it
| couldn't wait for them.
And SO the Hostess filled me up
With oysters and ice cream,
No meal I'd eaten since the war
AS good as that did seem;
put one over on the boys
And got away ahead,
Got home a little after nine
And tumbled into bed.
slept a sleep like Adams
With only one little dream,
How | dove in a sea OF oysters
And found an island of cream.
Long live the Host and Hostess
To cheer us on our way
With a bountiful reception
Some other happy day.
Some think to be a christian
Means much to sacrifice;
There's nothing lost that's good to
While you may win the prize.
Come join the Williams Bible Glass,
Twill pay more ways than one,
To do your best and trust in God
And Jesus Christ His Son.

EXPORT
COAL TERMINAL
AT CHARLESTON

Charleston, S. c., Oct 3O.-South
ern railways export coal terminal
recently completed at Charleston at
cost of approximately 100000
gives Charleston facilities which will
enable it to compete on an equal ba
sis with any other port on the At
lantic seaboard for traffic in coal fol-
carriage over seas and is therefore
an improvement of great interest and
Importance not only to Charleston
but as well to the entire Southeast
ern territory, particularly the coal
producing sections. Coal can now be
loaded into ships at Charleston as
rapidly and as cheaply as at any
other American port and freight
rates have been so adjusted that
coal operators shipping through the
port of Charleston will be on a parity
with producers exporting through
Norfolk.
The terminal embodies the most
modern ideas for facilities of this
character. Coal is dumped from cars
by turning them bottom upwards and
falls into a hopper from which it is
fed into the holds of ships by belt
conveyor and telescope chute
which not only make very rapid
handling possible but eliminates to a
great degree the breakage which re-
suits when coal is dumped into ships
by gravity from elevated pockets.
The coal handling machinery con-
sists of car bumper and a loading
tower both of which are operated
entirely by electricity. They are To-
Gated on a steel and concrete pier,
975 feet in length, fronting on water
80 feet deep at mean low tide. The
pier is connected with the mainland
by a creosoted trestle, $500 feet long.
Cars are pushed into the bumper
by a switch engine. When power is
applied, the car is automatically
clamped and turned-body, trucks,
and the section of the track on which
it stands-to such an angle that the
coal pours into the hopper. When
the car is empty the bumper returns
to its normal position. AS another
loaded car is showed into the dump
er it pushes out the empty, which
then runs to the end of the pier and
by means of kick back" is re-
turned automatically to the storage
track.
The loading tower consists of the
happer into which coal is dumped
from cars, the belt conveyor, and the
telescope chute by means of which
coal can be delivered to any part of
a ship, thus eliminating trimming"
to a great extent.
Both the car bumper and the load
ing tower are movable and can be
shifted to serve different matches, so
that when a ship is once tied up at
the pier it is unnecessary to move it
until full cargo has been received.
The capacity of the plant is from
1900 to 1000 tons per hour. A car
can be unloaded in about two min
utes and the plant will handle cars
up to 100 tons capacity, though for
the present so ton cars will be the
heaviest sent to it. The plant can
handle in one day as much coal as
was exported through Charleston in
the entire year 1913.

away sometime Saturday evening and
made good his escape, no clue having

man. Civinski was up from Belmont
county, serving an indeterminate
sentence for shooting with intent to
wound.
