BRIEFS FORWARDED
 ID JUDGE CLAYTON
Injunction Case Concerning Southern Railways Coal
 Cars Decided Soon

Coal operators along the Southern rail
 way in Walker county will know in
 day or so whether the injunction re-
 straining the Southern from discrimi-
 mating in favor of placing coal cars at
 railway fuel mines will be affirmed or
 denied by federal court.
 Injunction was obtained two weeks ago
 in the circuit court of Jefferson county by the Corona Coal Company, but the
 defendant company had the case re- moved to federal court.
 Judge Clayton of the federal court gave a hearing in Montgomery the latter part of last week and, after the hearing, re- uuested briefs from both sides They were dispatched to him yesterday. After going over these briefs Judge Clayton will either grant an injunction or deny it. In either case, it is certain that ap- peal will be taken to a higher court. If Judge Clayton grants an injunction it will stand pending the hearing of the appeal If he does not, there will be no restraining order pending the appeal The coal operators were represented before Judge Clayton by Johnston Cooke of Birmingham and Rush D. But Ter and Frank F, Hardness of Chicago, the latter general counsel for the Ma tonal Coal Association
 A similar case, arising in the West Nir- ginia coal field, is to be heard today at Philippi, near Fairmont w. Va. The coal operators are going to the mat in this matter Their claim is that assigning" cars during car short. age period is specifically prohibited by the transportation act of last March and that in carrying on this practice the Southern railway is not only unduly dis criminating against merchant mines, but is also violating the law.

 Than During War

 About ten well-located and well-operated mills are turn ing out in the neighborhood of 2,000 tons of ore per day. completed. which will be inside of thirty days, the daily production will have been increased to about 2,200 to 2,500 tons.
 The recovery of graphite from the ore is in the neighborhood of per cent. about seventy-five tons of pure graphite valued at Il cents pound. The value of the daily output, on completion of the Dixie Consolidated, should then be in the neighborhood of $l6500.

WAR DEVELOPED

Development of the Clay-Coosa- Chiffon graphite deposits was very rapid during the war, when the estoppel of ship n1ents from Ceylon and ether foreign countries created an extraordinary de- mand and the price went as high as 20 cents pound.
 After the armistice the price dropped to around cents and foreign graphite, on which there is no duty, entered in sufficient quantity to affect the entire business. However, a number of plants that were on a firm business footing continued operations and have been suc- cessful at all stages of prices.
 The graphite industry had it's flashes in the pam as other new industries. Some mills were erected on land where the deposits did not justify the plant. Where the mill was built on knowledge of deposits and with the proper appli- ances the business has proven paying one
 The recovery from the low mark of 8 cents has served to inject new vigor into the production of graphite and op- erations are on an ascending scale. At Ii cents it is declared that a. good mill, well conducted, is bound to earn fair return on the investment.
 Graphite operators have asked for a tariff on imported Ceylon graphite and will insist on a tariff, but the successful operators, while they would like tar if, declare it is not necessary to the success of the graphite industry in Ala

For the Good of
 the Community

NHE more we hear of port congestion in the east, the more we southern CTS realize an appreciation of our own ports and sense the meaning of ports.
 Ports mean taking up the matter of transportation where the land ends The land has habit of ending far more pro- nounced than that of water
 The geographies tell every little school boy and girl that three-fourths of the earth's surface consists of water It fol- lows that he who wishes to trade with the peoples of the earth must take due notice of the intervening, surrounding and con- meeting three-fourths of water surface
 Railroads have mighty puff and noise about them and they are dire necessity along the reaches of terra frma. For the ~ same reason the well-constructed highway and the motor truck are required to feed the railroads.
 But eventually the railroads, like the rivers, lead to the sea. Just as the land must have roads and steel rails, the sea must have wind-protected and deepened harbors and wharves and loading and un- loading devices in order that the ocean burden bearers may put in there and con- tinue the transportation that rails and rivers and highways and motor trucks cannot.
 The southern ports are coming for ward The war gave them chance. Great shipbuilding yards were located. The ships built there began maiden voyages out of these ports.
 The habit began forming New Or leans is now the second port of the nation, made so by the people of Louisiana. Mo- bile asks Alabamans to benefit them selves by doing for their port.
 Growth of southern ports is shown in the following statement of exports in the periods named:
 New Orleans:
 1918 S397, ,852,000.
 1919-s557, 100000
 1920-First four months, $252,- 149,000.
 At the rate it is going exports for this year should reach S750, ,000, or $200,- 000,0O0 over 1919.
 Mobile:
 1918 -$48, ,799,00O.
 1919-S72, ,479,0OO
 192O-Four months, S27. .642.000
 Mobile is headed to years record of S120,000,000, or nearly $50, 100000 over 1919.
 Total commerce of the port of Savan- nah, exports and imports, was as follows:
 191O- S224, 100000.
 S478,000,O00.
 1919- S597 100000.
 Exports from Jacksonville were as fol- lows:
 First four months of 1919-$2, ,492,- .QU0.
 First four months of 192O-$4 $4,103,- O00
