GOOD SCHEDULES PROPOSED,
A Change on the Southern Which Is
What Newberry Wants-I.et it
Come.

Greenville Daily News and gives fur
ther information as to the proposed
change of schedule about which we
have written elsewhere. This is the
schedule which will suit the patrons
OF the Columbia and Greenville road
Ill this section. 1t is what we have
been wanting for long time, and IL
Is what we went to the meeting at Bel
ton to ask for, but came away asking
for an extra train to be put on. If the
Southern will try this schedule for u
time, we believe that it will be more
satisfactory to all Of the patrons than
the present one and we are satisfied
that Capt. Anderson, of the Blue
Ridge, can very easily arrange a sche-
dule which will be pleasing and ac-
ceptable to the people of Anderson
and the Daily Mail. Please note that
Capt. Anderson says the travel to his
road from below Bolton does not
amount to much and therefore the
Southern's schedules should not be
controlled by the Blue Ridge.
1t was rumored in this city yestcr-
day that change of schedules would
be made on the Columbia and Green
vile division of.the Southern Railway
on December 1G. The officers for that
division are in Columbia, and the COR
respondent Of The Greenville News in
Columbia last night said that on in
quiry at the division offices, no infor-
nation could be gotten about the pro-,
posed trains. Superintendent Wit
liams has not returned to Columbia
from President Spencer funeral, and
his chief clerk said last night that
while there had been no definite ar
rangements or schedules made for II
change, it was probable that some
change would be made.
The correspondent of The Green-
vile News at Anderson in a special
last night said:
Capt. j. R. Anderson, superintend-
ent Of the Blue Ridge road, has re-
ceived from Mr.. j. N. Scale, master
of transportation Of the Southern, the
outline OF new schedule which it Is
proposed to put into effect on Decem-
Der rs, if it proves satisfactory to all
the interests that will be effected.
BY the proposed schedule the train
now leaving Greenville at 9.40 a. HI.
will leave at Z a. M, gets to Columbia
about II noon, leave Columbia about
4 p. M, arrive Greenville about 10 y.
m.
The morning section Of the "Merry-
go-Round' between Greenville and
Anderson will leave Greenville at $40
a. m., run to Belton and double back
into Greenville, leave Greenville ia
the afternoon Oh the present schedule,
run to Greenwood and double back to
Greenville, leaving Greenwood about
4 o'clock. The schedules Of trains Is
and 16 will not be affected.
This schedule, if it goes into effect,
will require the Blue Ridge road to
put on an extra train equipment and
two new train crews if all the connec-
tions are made at Belton. There will
be passenger train almost every
hour between Anderson and Bolton
and between Greenwood and Green
Vile.
Capt. Anderson is up in the air con-
cerning the proposed change. He
does not see how he can arrange to
make all the connections at Bolton
and at the same time take care of the
trains from Walhalla into Anderson.
The travel from Walhalla, Seneca,
Pendleton and Clemson College to An
derson is very heavy at all seasons Of
the year and this travel Capt. Ander-
son says, must be taken care of at all
hazards. The travel to Columbia from
the Blue Ridge road will never
amount to muclf, and Capt. Anderson
does not think it will ever amount to
| great deal on the e. & G. road above
| Greenwood.
There is another problem confront
ing the Blue Ridge officials. The
Southern has recently put on new
train between Toccoa and Charlotte,
and will soon put on another train
between Atlanta and Washington.
This means new connections that have
to be made at Seneca. Capt. Ander-
son cannot rearrange his schedules I'M
til he gets the figures as to the arrfv-
al Of the new trains at Seneca. He
