impatient to see ii put into effect
and had hoped that it would be done
/ at least by the first of April.
; There Was understood to be a slight
protest trGm Greenwood but we are
satisfied that our friends in Green
: wood after they have given the mat
ter Il trial will withdraw all protest
and wonder why they objected to the
change. BY this arrangement the
Southern can run its schedules as ad-
''Major Earle is very farorably
ter,lay from Columbia. where he at
tended a meeting Of the State Rail-
road commission to consider schedules
on the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Southern Railway.
''Major Earle is very favorable
impressed with the plan. submitted
by Col. f. W. Hunt, Mr.. Brooks Nor
gan and Mr.. Henry A. Williams, for
an early morning train fro Greenville
, into Columbia, over the Columbia and
: Greenville line Of the. Southern Rail-

ule proposed is also satisfactory. to
the railroad authorities. ;.
1T is said. that passengers from
Charlestolrs for !Greenville and other
Piedmont points will not be greatly
ineonNeniencci" "by THE breaking of the
Columbia connection that the. new
schedule would effect. Passengers
from the low country could reach
Greenyile just as easily over the
Scutheln..to Spartanburg or over the
Charleston & Western Carolina by
way of Ncwberry and Laurens. There
would be some inconvenie ence to a few
people coming through from the coast.
but this is immaterial, and more than
offset by the very great accommodate
ton which the new schedule would
afford. to a large percentage of the
travelling public.
1T is understood that the new
schedule will 90 into effect about

1.-The Southern has found it neces-
saly to use heavier locomotives when
the Columbia and Greenville line
trains are unusually heavy: When the
standard small engines Of the ''1900'
class have to be replaced by bigger
locomotives. the authorities use those
rf the "90O' class, taken from the
other lines OF the Savannah division.
These are hardly as large as the "Ten
hundred" class. which draw the vesti-
buled trains. but are powerful and
speedy;
And the State says locally Of the
change in speaking CT morning trains
INTO Columbia:
The railroad commission is more
and more impressed with the plan
submitted for a morning train into
Columbia over the Columbia and
G,penviiIe read. The schedule pro-
posed BY Col. Hunt. Mr.. Brooks Nor
ran and Mr. Henry A. Williams IS
said to have. been approved by the
raiIrn(la authorities. This means
that the train which leaves here at
midday will be held until 4.30 in the
afternoon.
The passenger frcm the Charles
ton train for the upeountry can get
to Greenville just as easily by way
op SpartanburE, and those for New
berry could go over the C. n. and L.
50 that really it would not put many
to inconvenience if the Greenville
train should be held until later in the
afternoon, whereas the change would

large percento = Of the travelling pub

understood that the. change will go
into effect about the 10th Of April.
