START SHIPMENT.

After Il year OF more Of prcpara-
ton the Nelson Fuel Company,
whose property is reached by the
GreenE"icr and Eastern Railroad
in the western part Of Grccnbricr
county, in the newly developed field
has started the mining and ship
mcnt of coal o na large scale. Of
course coal was shipped on small
scale while development work was
in progress, temporary wooden
tipple being used for that purpose
The permanent tipple is now in use
and the company is producing on a
normal scale. This company is
headed by John B. Laing, of Lewis
burg. Other companies at Quin-
wood and other points OF the
Greenbricr and Eastern are also
producing smokeless. With such
mines in operation, the Scwen Val

WILL METHODISM UNITE.

The two main branches of Meth
odiSm in the United StatcS-thc
Methodist Episcopal Church (North
and the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, have been trying to get to-
Sethcr for several years. To this
end each Church has had Il commit
tee at work which after several
meetings agreed on Il plan. The re-
port Of this commission was made
to the General Conference of the NJ
+. Church, North. two years ago
but it was practically abled and re-
ferred back to commission with
the request that the NJ. E. Church,
South, continue a similar commits
sion to make changes. The first op-
Portunity that the Latter Church has
had to act on the matter is at the
General Conference of that body,
now in session at Hot Springs,
Arkansas. On the 18th it voted to
adopt the plan of the joint commits
sion and unite. 1t now rests solely
with the NJ. E. Church, North,
whether the past six years endcvor
to get together will amount to any
thing. There is no logical excuse
for so many prodistant denomina-
tions and especially is this true of
McthodiSm. 1t remains to be seen
what tho outcome will be.

HUNTINGTON ELECTION.

Tile city election last Monday re-
suited in the election of Floyd S.
Chapman, Republican, over C.. w.
Campbell, Democrat. This election,
has gained more than local Interest
by reason of the fact that Mr.. Camp.
bell has been Mayor for the past
term and has stood for strict law
enforcement and the City of Hunt
inGton has been a closed city dur
ing his administration. The report
says that the fight was made on the
issue of an "open'' and "closed.'
town. l.. ID. Newman, Democrat
ic Commissioncr, was elccctd.
Chapman's majority over Camp
bell is in the ncighborhood of $500.
AS to the result Mr.. Campbell said:
Il want to extend TO the MAYOR
elect my warmeSt congratulations
and extend to him my best wishes
for successful administration.
For my own part I bow cheerfully
to the will Of the majority and hopt
the people will get what they want
and voted for. Personally l shall
welcome the relief from the cares
OF the Office"
The result Of the election was OF
considerable interest in this vicinity
because Mr.. Campbell is Il native Of
Monroe county and has many
trends in his part Of the State.

were on deck. The shock threw
several persons into the sea. others

CHURCH MEETINGS.

Several Church meetings Of gen
real importance are in session at
the present time. Tire one Of the
most local interest is that of the
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church ut Charleston.
w. Va, to which representatives
of Grcenbrier and adjoining coun-
ties have gone.
The General Assembly Of wilut is
commonly tcrmed the Northern
Presbyterian Church, is in session
at Des Moines, Iowa. Both branch
es Of this Church are represented
in West Virginia and there exists
considerable overlapping territory.
"A move is on foot for closer re-
lationship of these two branches.
Some day, they may unite as one
organization. 1t would seem that
his should be done at once.
AT Hot Springs, Arkansas, the
General Conference Of the NJ. E..
, Church, South is in session. This
body meets once every four years
and has just voted to unite with thc
northern branch Of the Methodist
Church. 1t remains for the north
crn branch to come in now. A Com
mission has been at work for q
number of years on a plan to re-
unite the two branches of the Metho
dist Church for which there is as
little use as a wagon with five
, wheels.
Next is the Southern Baptist
Convention which is holding out
at Jacksonville, Florida. This in
CludeS the territory of the south
crn half of the United States, the
Northern Convention the northern
half, but this does not mean a sec
tional division of the Baptist
Church. Many Of the prominent
preachers of the Baptist Church at
tend both conventions.
1t IS interesting to note these four
large Church gatherings in session
i'll the country at one time.

EIGHT HOURS.

Establishment Of the cight-hour
day Tor employees in the executive
branches Of the government is be-
ing considered by the administra-
tion. The thousands Of clerks,
StenographcrS and other minor en-
ploycs IN the various departments
In Washington almost without cX-
Ccptlon now work seven hours a
day. The consideration now being
given to lengthening of the day is
predicted on the belief that such a
extension would be in the interest
OF economy and efficiency.
The question of extending the
work day. it was said by one high
official. has been discussed by cabi
net members between themselves
and also was taken UP recently ut
cabinet meeting. This official also
made ulc statement that next ITO re-
organization of the government de-
partmentS the most pressing need
in department operations is the
need OF longer day not only to got
more work done but to bring the
day of the government into conform
ity with the day in the industrial
world. Studies made by experts at
the request Of government officials
in connection with their study Of
the matter are said to show that
clerical workers who by the way
form by far the greatest proportion
OF those who would be affected bv q
chan9e-can work throughout an
elght-hour day with tOEmoSt eff
cheney and without fatigue although
SIX hours made up the greatest per-
iod Of working efficiency for skilled
workers in such tasks as require
