NITRATE OF SODA
WILL BE MOVED

Columbia, June 21.-Sufficient cars
and power will be furnished by the
three trunk line railway running into
charleston to move the nitrate of soda
no" IN Charleston harbor and that ex-
pected within the next few days, ac-
cofdlng to statement made tonight
oy Frank w. Shealy, chairman of the
State Railroad Commission, who has
just returned from a conference with
superintendent King, of the Southern
hallway; j. P. Walker, of the Allan
TIC Coast Line; w. E. Bagwell, of the
Seaboard Air Line, and other railway
officials at Charleston.
According to Mr.. Shealey it will be
necessary for the railways to furnish
Z,46f cars to transport the nitrate of
soda now in the harbor. The railro,ds
authorities. said the commissioner,
claim that they can only load 200 cars
day because Of the present dockape
facllltles at Charleston. The entire
nitrate shipment, they claim, will be
moved in fourteen days.
Between thirty an dthirty-five thou |
sand tons Of nitrate of soda are ex-
r"cted in the Charleston harbor in the
next few days. stated Mr.. Shealy, and
the railroad authorities promised him
that they would be in position to |
move this with expedition. This move
mcnt will take an additional 800
'ars, they think. 1t is hoped that both
movements will be completed in
eighteen days.
