Fayetteville, May 31.-From what
1.-THE correspondent can gather. the At
Ilantic Coast Line Railroad Company
is moving promptly TO better the pas
senger train service from Fayetteville
to Maxton and beyond. Nothing Of
fetal has been given out, but it is gen.
leraily understood that very shortly an
early morning train will leave Fay
Ietteville for Sumter, S. G., and a late
AFTERNOON train will leave Sumter, to
Iconnect with the northbound night
train on the Coast Line, reaching
Fayetteville at 1920 O'Clock. This will
igreatly benefit every town on the line.
1t is seldom that one reads in Il
newspaper an editorial more wisely
conceived, and expressed with better

TAX Question" 1t hits the nail square
ION the head. The open saloon is the
ibest solution of the question of the re-
tail sale of liquor, but it must be the
Iopen saloon with high license. Espe-
Icially should the anti-prOhibitionists
and the anti iisDensaryites heed the
warming of the Messenger. If they
keep squabbling against high license
1.-THE first thing they know they'll find
themselves in the same boat with
Greensboro and Charlotte.
