Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-10-06
NEW SCHEDULE NEXT SUNDAY.

NEW SSHE1OLE N6Nt SSNSS'
Some weeks ago the Commercial
Club Of Yorkville, although not yet or
ganized down to an effective working
basis, took up with the Southern rail-
road, the subject Of more satisfacto-
ry and convenient schedule for this
place. Major James F. Hart conduct
ed the correspondence in behalf Of the
club, and succeeded in getting the rail-
road authorities to make personal
investigation Of the situation.
The fact that General Agent
Thompson, Of the executive depart
ment Of the Southern railway, was
here recently, was mentioned at the
time and as a sequel to his visit,
Agent Clarke on last Sunday morning
received a telegram in which he was
instructed to advise the officers Of the
club that the suggested change would
go into effect next Sunday, the 18th.
At the same time the following tele-
gram was received at this office:
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 3, 1908.
To w. D. Grist, Editor Yorkville En-
| quirer, Yorkville, s. G.
| Satisfactory schedules In line with
YOUR conversation with Mr. Thompson
will be made effective October 18th,
giving Yorkville double daily service
both directions. Will give you detail
ed figures in few days.
In the conversation referred to, the
editor of THE ENQUIRER told Mr..
| IN hot QQnQral
complaint in Yorkville as to the In
convenitnce Of the schedules and that
the complaint seemed to be well
founded. Although the town Is at the
intersection Of two railroads, one run
ming east and west and the other north
and south, and both touching main
lines in all four directions within fif-
teen to twenty-five miles from the
starting point, the people are unable
to either go or come without being
held up at Blacksburg, Gastonia, Rock
Hill or Chester. ..
| The editor went on to advise Mr..
Thompson that what was most desired
If there was to be only one train each
way was that 1t pass Yorkville going
east at about Z or 8 o'clock In the
morning and going west about or s
o'clock in the afternoon, the object be-
ing two-fold. First, 1t Is desirable to
give the people living west Of York
Vile an opportunity to come here and
to Rock Hill to attend to such business
as they may have at these places and
return the same day, and second to al
low the Yorkville people to go north
or south, or come back from those di-
rections without being held up a wait
ing spell on the main line. Mr.
Thompson was also advised at the
same time that it would not be possi-
BILE for him to give thoroughly sat
isfactory service with only two trains
a day; that the people to the east of
Yorkville, including Fort Mill, have
more or less business here, and as
matters now stand, they have to either
60 and come by private conveyance or
remain away from home from twen-
ty-four to forty eight hours.
