New Time Table on Delaware Railroad Goes
Into Effect With Slight Changes.

Into Effect With Slight Changes.
With the new time table which went
into effect on the Philadelphia, Wash
lngton and Baltimore Railroad last
week, a number Of important changes
were made. The first train north
leaves Smyrna Station at 7.20 in the
morning instead of 7.1S. For the sec
ond train north, No. 80, and the first
train south, No. SO, the Smyrna branch
leaves at 8.36 a. m. instead of $50 a.
m, to connect with both trains No.
81, south, which formerly left at 400
now leaves at 4.O6, and the last train
south, No. 90, leaves at 1853 instead of
8 o'clock. The changes are slight, but
enough to cause those accustomed to
the old schedule to miss trains. See
time table on 9th page for further par
ticulars.
The change in the train schedule has
also caused some slight changes in the
closing of mails. For the benefit of
our readers we publish the closing
time of mails III full as follows: Mails
going north: 6.55 and 9 30 a. M; 32O,

''xSld IN" Didn't shew

wild Jim was here Wednesday with
the intention Of giving free exhibition
to the natives OF this burg. He claims
to be captain W. j. French who fought
under Custer-and may be for all we
know-we were not there. Anyway the
town council Thought the wild one
should ''dig up" smsll amount for a
iicense for tho free exhibition, but jim
didn't see it that way and as both the
council and jim wers up against the
real thing" there was not thing doing
about tho time the show was scheduled
to come oil. He had paraded .he streets
in his buckskin suit until the small boy
had become interested and wanted to
see the event pulled OF. but as the eli.
mate here is good and the grass is green
Jim" didn't cough" Some dissapoint-
ment was felt, however, in society circles
and some condemned the city dads in
the strongest kind OF terms for intsrfer-
ing with the program. but by the time
the Fourth OF July il celebrated in this
city they'll never know the difference
and perhaps some OF them will think
that "Jim" was here with all OF his fire

1t will be more tolerable for Sodom and

for the political party on election day
that seeks to ride into power by opposing
the effective tenn erancc legislation this
Legislature will enact
DR.. Mott thought he could win a great
victory in 1884 by organizing an anti
prohibition fight. He carried his party
to a Waterloo. That campaign taught
this lesson that the people of North Car
olina will not follow a party that is
dominated by the liquor power. No par
ty in TIE future will dare follow the dis
astrous example Of 1884. The fate of the
Anti Prohibition Liberal party stands as
perpetual warning against such poKti-

NEWSPAPER CONSOLIDATION.

There was very great surprise through
on Sunday morning that all the daily
newspapers in Richmond had consoldat-
ed and henceforth that city will have
only one morning paper and one after
noon paper. The Times has purchased
the Dispatch and the News has purchas-
ed the Leader. The morning paper will
be known as the Times Dispatch and
belongs to Mr.. Joseph Bryan. The after
noon paper will be known as the News
Leader. After publishing the facts about
the consultations, the Dispatch of Sun
day said:
THE change announced above is the
inevitable result of newspaper condi-
tions in this city, which have hardly
parallel in the country. No other city
in the South-probably none in the North
has four such newspapers as have been
operated in Richmond during the last
two years The territory will not sus
tain them. and the proprietors had to
choose between operating at a loss or
reducing the cost of production. This is
simple proposition which every busl-
ness man will understand.
The trend in the cities is toward fewer
papers and larger ones. The newspaper
war in Richmond has been a fierce one
and the consolidation shows that it has
been costly. 1t may be we'll doubted
whether there is a city in the South that
can give adequate support to more than
one great morning newspaper. Only
Norfolk, Raleigh, New Orleans and Will
mington have two morning papers.
Knoxville had two morning papers but
they were consolidated more than year
ago. Norfolk had three but the Pilot
and Virginian were consolidated few
years ago.
