CHULESTOIN'S EXPORT COAL TERMINAL NOW COMPLETE Southern Railway Bas Placed Pal metto Port on Parity With Other Big Ports. Charleston, S. C., Oct. 30.-South ern Railway's export coal terminal, recently completed at Charleston at a cost of approximately $600,000, gives Charleston facilities which will cn able it to compete on an equal basis with any other port on the Atlantic seqboard for traffic in coal for car riage over seas and is therefore ai im provement of great interest and im portance not only to Charleston, but as well to the entire Southeasiern territory, particularly the coal 19roduc ing sections. Coal can now be loaded into ships at Charleston as apidly and as cheaply as at any other Amer lean port and freight rates Ijave been so adjusted that coal operators ship ping through Charleston will be on a parity with producers expotting through Norfolk. The terminal embodies the iuost modern ideas for facilities of thli character. Coal is dumped from cars byturning them bottom upwards and falls into a hopper from which it is fed into the holds of ships by a belt conveyor and a telescopic chute which not only make very raplid handling possiblo but eliminate to a great de gree the breakage which results when coal is dumped Into ships bly gravity from elevated pockets. The coal handling machinery con sits of a car dunper and a loading tower both of which are operated en tirely by electricity. They are locatol on a steel and concrete piler, 375 feet in length, fronting on water :20 f'et deep at inean low tide. 'T'l plier is connected with the mainland by a creosoted trestle, :1,800 feet long. Car's are pushed into Mhe dumper by a switch engine. When power is ap plied, the car is automatically clamp ed and turned-body, truclks, and the section of the track on which it stands-to such an angle tiat the coal pours into the hopper. Whe)C'fn the car Ns empty the dumper returns to its normal position. As another loaded car is shoved into the dumper it, push es out the emlpty, which them rutns to the end of the pier and by meani of a "kick back" is retuined automatical ly to the storage track. The loading tower consists -of the hopper into which coal i.s dined from cars, the belt conveyor, anl the telescopic chute by mteanis of wiicht coal can he delivered to any irt of' a ship, thus eliminating '"Irimming" to a great extent. Both the car duper and the loading tower are movable and can be shift ed to serve different hatches, so that when a ship is once tied u p at (lie l)ier it is unnecessary to move it until full cargo has been received. The capacity (f the plant is froti 1,500 to 2,000 tons per hour. A car can be unloaded in about two mtinutes and the plant will handle ears up to 100 tons capacity, though for the present 50 ton cars will be the heavi est sent to it. The Plant can handle in one day as much coal as5 wa's Cex lorted through Charlest on in the cmn tIre year of 1!) 3. The termtiinal Is comlen ilte ini itself but should business beyondl its captaci ty develop provision has been made for' the addition of similar units. In connection with the coal lpier), a storage yardl of 400 car's cap~acity has been conmstrmucted at Chtarleston1 andi additional passing track( taii ii ties have been prlov'lided on the lines leading from the coal fields. lDon't hesitate about sending a cou pie or more dollars along for' that contestant.

Apples Are' Very Easily Bruised, Thereby Presenting Unattractive Appearance-Always Watch Markets in Selling. Few people realize the importance of handling apples with care while pick Ing, packing and marketing. Apples are bruised very easily and especially those varieties having a tender flesh or skin. Bruises mean not only an un attractive appearanco, but a real waste of fruit by having to cut out the bruised tissue. Probably the greatest damage from bruises, however, results from tho fact that the bruises furnish an entrance for fungus or rot spores. These spores, or "fungus seeds," are as fine as (lust and float in the air. If they happen to lodge on a bruised or broken spot on the apple, they take root and grow and spread through the apple, causing it to rot. Wrapping or covering the apple may not always protect it, as the spores may have lodged on the apple before it was picked. Ilowever, if the skin and flesh of the apple can be kept intact and not bruised or broken. there is not much danger of the fungus or rot find. ing its way into the apple. To prevent bruising, apples should not be dropped or thrown into a bucket, box or barrel, and in pouring from one vessel to another care should .be taken that the apples are as close as possible to the bottom of the vessel in which you are placing them before the pouring begins. If a pail is used to pick in, it should be small enough to lower into the boxes and, even then, holding back the apples with the hands is a good idea, as it breaks the fall and lessens the bruising. No apple which falls from the tree should be allowed to go Into the first grado ap ples. First-class fruit in first-class shape will probably develop an inquiry for moro of the same kind. Thero is almost as much in the selling of apples as in the growing. Conven ent and Useful Packing Stand. Watch the miarkets and always have your fruit ready to sell when the prices are most favorable. It ia folly to spend years in bring Ing up a good orellard and then allow the buyers to come in and take them at their own price. Of course it pays well to raise fancy apples if all the details of packing and seiling are attended to, but it miust be remembered that the bulk of the fruIlt consumed is of the standard variety. When apples are shipped from the orchard in bulk the packer makes a very nice prollt in sorting and packing in clean boxes or barrels-a thing the grower should do himself. STORAGE OF CORN FOR SEED Ears Should Be Thoroughly DrIed Be fore Freezing Weather and Placed in Well-VentIlated Room. In savIng seed corn thle ears should be thoroughly dield before freezing wveather, and always stored in a dry, well-ventilated rooml or granary.
