Ayes loaded with five thousand tons
of Clinchfield coal, the first actual step
he's been taken in the development OF
what is hoped will be traffic in coal
between South America and the south
ern coal fields through the port of
Charleston, this being the first cargo
of export coal to clear for South
American consumption through this
port.
Opportunity for the development Of
this commerce with South America has
been made possible through the erec-
ton of the new coal terminal which
embodies the most modern ideas for
facilities of this character. Coal is
dumped directly into a hopper from
which it is fed into the holds of ships
by belt conveyor and telescope
chute, insuring the most rapid handl-
ing and eliminating to a great degree
the breakage resulting when coal is
dumped into ship by gravity from
elevated pockets.
While this is the first coal to leave
for South America, number of other
cargoes have been sent to Cuba. There
will be cargo to leave for Cuba this
week and also one for Galveston, Tex.

mans tonic, and decided to try it. I

tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why /
looked SO well, and | told them about
Cardm. Several are now taking it"
