State Railroad Commission Making inventory of Stock on Hand ~ ;^TT *; * ? ' j Columbia, Aug. 9.?Hope of get ting coal for domestic purposes fn South Carolina was aroused to day when the r?ilroaa commission, which is handling the fuel situation throughout the state, announced that the classification, of orders for coal for don?estic consumption had been changed from Class 4 to Class 2, which means that it will have earlier consideration by the mines in filling orders. The fuel; situation throughout the. state is still regarded as. serious, with not enough coal being received^ jto tafefe j cafe of imperative demands. The i railroad commission regards the I situation as verging .on the critical, j The national fuel administration j has classified coal orders into five j groups. The first group of orders i for railroads. The second class is j for public intitutions and for p?b- \ lie utilities. Class three is coal for Great Lake ports. Class four j was formerly domestic coal, and] class five all other purposes. Do-J mestic coal is now in class 2. The railroad commission reports very little coal in any part of the state for domestic consumption. ] An agent of the commission visited all coal yards in Columbia Tues day afternoon, as part of the in ventory of the entire state now being made by the commission, and it was ascertained that there is only about ten per cent of a win ter's supply of coal in Columbia yards, for all purposes. And no coal is being received, even though orders are being approved. One car or coal was released at Spartanbufg Tuesday afternoon for a Columbia yard, and it will be re ceived Wednesday. There are. by actual inventory of the railroad comriiis>ion, only 2,280 tons in the Columbia yards, and Chairman Shealy of the commission stated to day that it looks like Columbia faces a serious situation. No shipments have been received late ly and there are no prospects for any adequate supply to be received soon. The railroad commission is work ins: overtime on the fuel situa tion. Orders for coal are pouring in. Such orders as come within the proper classifications are ap proved, and these are sent to the mines with which th*? orders are placed, but as yet very little im provement in the situation is noted. In one or two cases the com mission has discovered that dis honesty was practiced in an effort I to secure fuel. One manufacturing [plant reported that it wai short. jThe commission investigated and ; found that the plant was well !stocked in fuel. No further or ders will be approved for this con icern, it is stated.
