Considerable complaint was made last
week regarding the lack of accommodation
given Poolerites on the early morning
Train, known as No. 4, going to Savannah.
The MORNING News correspondents repre-
sentinR the Poolerites, called on Chief Clerk
Jet to see what better arrangements could
he made. Mr. Jett stated that he would do
ali that he could to satisfy the early pas
senQers and said that arrangements
would immmediately be made so
that no one could complain. Mr..
Jett also stated that Mr.. Wadley
had never oountermanded the order regard
ing the stopping of No. 8 at Pooler. The
MORNING NEWS correspondent saw the let
Ter from Supt. Wsdlev TO the, train master,
stating that the order had never been coun-
fernandez by him, and again ordering this
train to stop every night at Pooler. This
news will save considerable annoyance to
Pooler's citizens, as many have been COM
PEELED to remain over night In Savannah
3or fear of not being able to have the train
stopped for them to get of.
President Conner Of the South Bound rail-
road declined to discuss the announcement

him. President Denmark of the Savannah
Construction Company insisted no such deal

and il such deal was in contemplation be
knew nothing of 1t. Both gentlemen pro-
fessed ignorance of the surveys now In
progress for line between Savannah and
Fernandius, or st. Mary's to connect with

standing this, the confirmation of the

few days, or within the next two weeks
at least.
