A NEEDED CHANGE.

There is denying fact and that is that the nign
trains between Memphis and New Orleans should come by
Greenvie instead Of Leland owing to the size OF the
lefty and the great convenience to the travelling pubic
Heretofore could not blame the railroads for not max
ing the change the proper hotel facilities could not DC
the Cowan has opened this reason can DC
used more this hotel is of the most up-todate
in the state
Another matter the attention of the Business League
should be called to- and that is, there is movement on
foot to No direct to Natchez and not New Orleans
This would not only increase number OF visitors but
would benefit GreenviIle in many ways.
Now to all these benefits to Greenvie there is one
thing that stands in the way and that is the present oca
ton of the station Wczinsk as 10 Is minutes
consumed by passenger in having to back up to this
place. which would not be the if the station at the
switch somewhere convenient the main line and near
the public road to make it convenient for those who
live in the vicinity to reach there Time is all to rail-
road and before these trains be brought by here this
depot will have TO be changed The matter is an i'm
portant and should receive the attention of the
League at their first meeting. We have doubt but
what the depot be moved either through the property
whose interest is Greenvles interest," through
the railroad commissioners Of the state And should the
change be agreed upon confident the officials of the
road be appealed to in strong enough language to
their depot and put in the necessary side tracks.
This is an important for GreenvIe and the League
should take hold of it and push it through ut once.

THE poLICEMAN.-cHlcAGo vs.. GREENvILLE.

The police of Chicago, it is said are the poorest
saaried officers in the United States when population of
cities considered, receive 900 year. The Ameri-
can, daily newspaper of that city, is advocating higher
salaries for her the ground that the risk and
hardshps they undergo together with the of their
wearing apparel leaves nothing for their support results
very inefficient service. For this same reason we have
been conendng that the salaries of the policemen of
city should be raised and have asked that the city
Gil raise their pay to at least living wages
Let us compare.
Chicago pays her policemen salary of 81 900 year.
The poicmans wages in Greenve amounts to only 5000
year. The policeman of Chicago on duty eight hours
aday, while the Greenvie policeman duty twelve
long and weary hours The hazardous risk of the position
of the policeman in Greenve is identical with the police
mans position in Chicago We have as many people
whose safety it is the duty of the policeman to guard or
many criminals to ferret out but guardians OF the
law will number but corporas squad The same neat
of appearance required of force but the
give men does not always meet the requirements
Let us sum up the expense of living of the Greenvle
policeman, and then let the councilmen who have op-
posed the raise believe in his heart if he can that he does
not deserve more
