Mrs. Browning went out about noon
to look after her cow, which was tied
near the home. She wore a red shirt

way and seeing the red dress decided
that IT was a challenge at once, charg-

To gain safety in flight Mrs. Brown

quickly on what course to persue. Her

The Charlotte News OF Wednesday
contained an editorial on the PROPOSE
ton of putting on a passenger train
between Lenoir and Charlotte by way
of Gastonia. This train will run over
the Carolina and Northwestern to
Gastonia and then over the Southern
to Charlotte This train, If put on,
will be for the purpose of putting the
business men along its route in touch
with Charlotte. It will tap h West
ern North Carolina o and the sea-
board Air Line. The cause which
has brought about the demand for
such a train is the isolation of Char
Iotte from the territory through which
this train will pass by the ill-arranged
schedule of passenger trains on the
section OF the Seaboard system west
OF Charlotte. This train will be put
sible for business men Of hat section
to visit Charlotte and for representa-
tives of Charlotte mercantile houses
to drum that section with greater
comfort and convenience. On this
subject The News says:
"On the Seaboard. west, the business
man who has more than an hours
business to transact in Charlotte,
must come down at night, spend the
night and the next day and the next
night, leaving about 10 o'clock for
home. The running of a train from
Lenoir to Charlotte via Lincolnton
would open up a splendid country to
Charlotte trade. both on the Western
road. the Carolina and Northwest
ern, and the Seaboard. Returning in
the afternoon, IL would be a great
convenience to the public having bust
ness in Charlotte, and to the Char
lotte people wishing to get to Blowing
Rock without the sacrifice Of too much
time"
This is the same short-sighted policy
OF he Seaboard system, which it fol-
lows on this end of-:sss line. Its trains
are u to suit the schedules on the
main line north and south only and
with no regard to the convenience of
the people of Wilmington or of those
I'm the towns along the line of road.
Mr.. Barr some time g promised to
grant the desired relief to people along
this end of the line. Nothing has
been done yet, 81 far as we have been
able to learn, except to improve the
condition Of the passenger coaches.
The same old miserable schedule is in
force. The roadbed has not been i'm
proved. The terminal facilities here
are as bad a ever. We live in hopes,
though, that Mr.. Barr will at some
day in the early future carry out his
pledges.
