SOUTHERN TO BUILD A PIER CHARLESTON WILL THE BE A A SHIPPING POINT FOR FOREIGN TRADE PRES- HARRISON Sanctions the Move and is Favor ably Impressed by the Advan tages Offered (By Associated Press) Washington, July 24.?A. P. Thom, general counsel for the Southern rail way, announced today that full ar rangements have been mnde by that road to construct a coal pier at Char leston, and afford the mines on its ! ] tracks an opportunity to tranship coal i at Charleston and enter into the ex port coal trade. The Southern railway has acquired 4.000 feet of water front in the Mag nolia cemetery site and will immedi ately begin .work on the construction of first unit of a coal pier. Daniel I 'B. Wentz aud other coal operatives in i the Virginia field attending the inves- | tigatlon the senate Is conducting of coal rates to the Southeastern Atlan tic ports say they expect to avail themselves of this new outlet for their coal. I "I cannot say just when the pier will be ready for coal," said Mr. Thom. "However, the money for the develop ment bas been arranged for and tho company will proceed with the work as rapidly, as possible. It intends to afford every facility to the coal pro ducers along its various lines." As to whether the new pier would ue ujk-u tu vuot u?ul?d iO Cu?rl?StC? on railways other than the Southern, Mr. Thorns said he was not fully ad vised, but he felt sure the Southern would offer operators on other rail ways an outlet for their product. The rate^from Black Mountain and adjoining Virginia fields to Charleston j is $1.40 for export coal, the same as charged to Norfolk and other porta north of Norfolk, but the lack of faci lities for transhipping coal at Chnrles I ton have made the rate practically useless. Mr. Thom said former President Finlfly was always much Impressed by tho claim of Charleston that it should have a. opporunlty to become a coal export port and he said that President Fairfax Harrison was of tho same opi nion. Rufnfj A. Ayres, representing the Stonega Coal and Coke Company, was |.nmong .the lawyers who cross examin - ed Dulnhey * today. In rep s on se to questions asked by Mr. Ayres, DInaey explained bis former connection with the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com pany, lie said be organized the com pany and was active in its manage ment until he realised that tho direc tors were determined to wreck it. Grant B. Schley, Henry K. McHarg, and E. J. Berwind, were named by Mr. Dulaney as the three men respon sible for "wrecking the company." To freeze out small stockholders $800,000 of the company's funds was tempora rily wltheld, the witness said, and the company was thrown Into the hands of receivers.

Washington, July 24.?Final agree- j ment on a bill to tax out of existence! so-called gambling transaction in cot-1 ton futures was reached today, byj house and senate conferees.

That \ndor8on should have such a thing s willingly admitted by the public, jut some seem to think Hint the city s too small to mako the venture ? irolitable one. Which is generally he way when a progressive step is planned; It was announced a day or so ago. hat the Maxwell lot, close Into tho. jusiness section of the city and enslly' iccessible from all sides, was to be jffered to council lor a public hitch ing lot, but since that time Mr. Max well has changed his mind and it is tow said that ho will make the city council a proposition by which he will completely fit up the place for a public market. Tho market would be equipped with steel or iron stalls on either Fide of the walk way, one side .0 be used by' grocers and market men, while the other .side would ho ?lven over to the dealers in country produce. This lot is Jur.t In the rear jf Balles' Bee Hive.

Method Atidcrso people are acquainted with (he schemes which tlu* V. M. t\ A "h. of the country cover in their ef forts to increase memberships. The plan as tried out by the organization is to have a number of well known citizens enter into the contest for the largest increase of membership in a given time anil then to award a trophy of some kind to the cit . in ning the contest. . , So well has this plan succeeded that A. V. Snell. managing director of the Charleston chamber of commerce , bas seized on the ideu that it will be a good thing for the chamber of commerce of Soulli Cnrollna und with that end in view he has written to the Anderson chamber of commerce, usk ing if anybody will enter into Buch a Scheine. Mr. Whaley said last night that the Anderson chamber would not only be too glad to enter, but would win out in the endeavor, ro gardle.su of what other cities might be trying. The following is the Charleston let ter: "Would your organization be Inter ested In holding a competitive mem bership campaign following the plnn of the Y. M. C. A. campaign. some time in the early fall, or perhaps the first week in October "The Y. M. C. A. campaign has been based upon a handicap according to the population of each city, with a prize to be offered. to be worked out, but It is posslblo that if eight or ten of our cities In the Carolinas nd Georgia would com bine, "it would enthuse the local bo dies and brings about greater results as in the case of the Y, M. C. A*s. "If we receive Bufiicicnt replies to this letter showing generul interest in such a campaign, I would suggest that a tentative plan be drawn up and ; submitted to each organization, and that thereafter, a meeting be held at once at some central point for the final arrangement. "I will be glad to bear from you within the next few days." ? - RAILROAD HAS - BEEN SATISFIED Anderson City Council Yesterday Agreed To BuSd New Storm Drain Along Market Street After once refusing to comply with the request of tho Charleston & West ern Carolina railway in regard to tho placing of certain drain pipes along Market street, and having the railroad serve notice on them that suit would be instituted, the Anderson city coun- I cil yesterday decided that the request i ' i t the railroad is a reasonable ono ' and tho committee appointed to in- ' vestlgate this matter reported to A. J W. Anderson, general manager of the ' railroad .hat the city would agreo to - the.railroad's proposition and defray 1 one half of the expense of construct ing'now storm sowers along West ' Market street, thus protecting the ter- . minai property of tho railroad 'on , Main street. When railroad representatives ap- ' peared before the council last Tues day night they showed that their work ', on the terminals was being delayed ? because they were not w???iug to pro-1, j cecd as long as they were exposed to ; \ the surface water drain and asked 11 that the city pay one-half the cost of placing new drains-on another street, i At that time the proposition was re- j fused but it has now been accepted ; and the ncv drplns will be built.

As the result of a drunken man starting an altercation In one of the ' restaurants Friday night, an order \ was Issued for all of the .cafes to be I closed at midnight every night. This ; cniUBed a great deal of. indignation last night, for there are many clerics and others who wUh to get a light lunch on Saturday nights, and there Is an over increasing colony of night work- ' crs in the city that has been depending upon-tbe cafes for a midnight lunch. But at 13 o'clock last night the feed emporiums were closld and there was ' a Jot of grumbling. ' i A police officer rtated that the order 1 had been issued because of the fact that , loafers have been causing com- 1 plaint and that tho fuss of Friday < night had brought things to a head. However the management of the res taurants, while not reiflng on their 1 constitutional rights, dtclare that it i Is unfair to them, because they keep < decent, orderly places, and. they are i not or should not be held responsible for the-drunks that drift In. .
