Better Schedules Needed.


Some months ago the schedules Of
the Southern were ideally arranged
for the travelling public, but now the
way the trains are being run is
abominable. The early morning train
from Columbia carries local freight
cars which causes delay by shifting
along the route. AS result OF this
delay the train is seldom on time, be-.
ing often several hours late reaching
Augusta. Passengers leave Edgetield
at Z 40 a. NJ, and frequently do not
arrive at Augusta till - or o'clock.
Then, too, the train on the Gap road,
having to do the work at the quarry
in addition to the regular work, never
makes its schedules. a person leav-
ing Augusta in the morning for our
town frequently does not reach his
destination till O'clock. The South
ern is generally very generous and
liberal in dealing with the people
along its lines, consequently we be-
lieve that if our citizens, collectively,
would take the matter up with the
officials better sche dulles would be
arranged.

On Mr.. Van Edwards the loss
falls heavy. He is a young man,
and has only been married short

were swept away in less than al
hour. Deep sympathy is felt for
him. We hope to soon see him ID

weighed in the balances and
found wanting, is discernable
upon the wall. If, however, the

The result of the recent election
will not be officially declared in
time for us to give the figures in
this issue but it is evident that
the biennial sessions amendment
was adopted by the people of the
state. Some say that it is a step
in the direction of retrenchment
and economy, while others con-
tend that it is impracticable.
Time will reveal which are of the
right way of thinking. After 1906
the Legislature will meet every
two years.

Dear Sir: The cheapest thing
in the way of sending anything
over tbs world is a postage STAN mp;
and tho cheapest way to shed wa
ter is paint.
Not wbitewash; paint. Do you
happen to know-it don't belong
to your business to know about
paint, you know-do you happen
to know that most of the makers
of paint stuff is out with lime and
clay ard sand and water and air?
They do stuff it out in the can; !;
but not on the house. They make
more gallons to sell or 20 buy;
more money to pay for paint;
more money to pay for putting it
on; good deal more money to
pay for putting it on; but no more
beauty; more rust: decay; disap-
pointment; loss.
Devoe is your paint, because
it's all paint, no sham, end full
measure
Yours truly,
