If Mr.. David r. Oates, law student
at Wake Forest, is TO be believed the
railroad agent at that place has been
running things with pretty high hand.
Mr. Oates made his complaint TO the
Railroad Commission and the Commits

Moncure, who win investigate it.
1t is charged among other things in
Mr. Oates letter that the agent objected
to a woman, poorly dressed, going into the

by Mr.. Oates that the bulletins announc-
ing the time at which trains are expected
to arrive Is not put up at the ticket office
and waiting room, but in the telegraph Of
fee and freight depot ON the other side
of the railroad greatly to the inconven-
fence of the public. In addition to this
it is complained that the bulletins are
not promptly and regularly posted, and
even when posted are often left on the
board for sometime and nobody ever
knows, unless special inquiry is made,
for what train the notice was posted.
In view Of these facts and to remedy
the evil complained of, the Commission
yesterday amended rule IA SO as to read
as follows:
lit shall be the duty of each Railroad
company to bulletin at every telegraph
station along its line, and other stations,
if possible, ten minutes in advance of the
schedule time of arrival of its trains,
whether such train is on time, and if
behind It's schedule time to state, as near
as can be Appropriated, the time Of its
arrival. The bulletin board shall be
placed in a conspicuous place at the
ticket Office, and all notices thereon, of
arrival or departure Of trains, shall be
erased Immediately after the departure
Of trains"
The complaint IN regard to the prohi
bition against women with second Glass
tickets going into the ladies waiting
room, was turned over to Superintendent
Moncure with the request that he have
the abuse corrected, as all female pas
sengers, no matter what kind of tickets

made and that this yellow ticket showed
that stieker had been pasted over
james H. Youngs name Clerk Young
counted this ballot for james III. Young
and did not count the sticker for Mr.
Broughton. BY this Broughton lost one
and Young gained one, making two in
Young's favor.
