Free Passes

The newspapers speak Of the announced
intention OF the railroads 10 issue fewer free
passes In future. We think the move a good
one. The issuing Of free passes TO one set OF
people, excites the envy or Ill will OF another
set ho ale less favored. The issuing OF free
passes 10 one tet OF men, and a lack OF tact In
dealing with the great mass Of people In
business matters, is responsible for the out.

The Proposed Railroad from Due
West.

A long time ago, the people Of Due West
did not want q railroad, but now progressive
citizens OF the progressive, town would Ike 10
have q railroad, and on one or more OCCASIONS
effort was made 70 build a railroad to Don
aids, four miles distant, on the Southern Rail-
way. We believe the people now want rail.
road connections.
Believing thai our friends at Due West are
in earnest and believing that AboeVllle
would help build the desired road, we would
suggest that representatives OF the road come
TO Abbeville and confer not only with our
people, but with the railroad folk. A road 10
Abbeville would give the people OF Due " es'
connection with both the Southern ana the
Seaboard. II the matter was properly pre-
sented TO the railroad folk 1t Is possible that
one or both roads would lend q helping hand.
For the Seaboard railway, see L. w. Perrin.
ESQ.,, director; for the Southern Railway, see
MIR. G. D. Brown, the local agent.
The Press and Banner has very little doubt
that the lown Of Abbeville would gladly vote
q liberal amount in bonds. The proposed
road would run through one OF the best and
most thickly settled sections Of Aobeville
county, and 10 get a railroad, the people In
the townships along the line would find 1t to
their advantage to vote bonds. The people OF
Due West ought to vote bonds, too. The en-
HANGED value OF property would pay for the
bonds four-fold over.
II, therefore. the people so will 1t. the road
can be built.
The line could be aided by one or both OF
the existing railroads, and they would no
doubt undertake to operate the rolling stock.
The travel and the freight between Due West
and Abbevile added to the large business
OF the people along the line would be a vslu-
able acquisition to the railroad that would
undertake to operate It
Railroad people are in the railroad business
for the purpose OF doing business. II the
proper Involvement In money was offered, the
railroad folk would certainly do their part.
The right way 10 do is TO right.
Let us vote bonds, and the Seaboard or the
Southern Will probably take the bonds, and
build and operate the Due West road as a
feeder to the main line. No ten-mile spur
from any point would pay better than the
line from Abbeville TO Due West. And rail-
road folk generally now a good thing when
they see II.
cThe people can grade the road. The railroad
can do the rest. And splendid RAILROAD SER
vice can be had for the least possible cost.
When money for bonds is properly spent,
the Issue OF bonds is not burdensome, but
is Of advantage to the people.
