Completed Nov. | and
Not Opened Yet.
Crowds of Passengers stand for
Hours in Cold Yin or Rain.
Large Transfer
Business

Editor l.. S. Franklin, of the Apex
Journal was in the city yesterday.
Asked about the new union depot
recently built by the Seaboard Air
Air Line and the Durham and South
ern Railroad companies at Apex, Mi.
Franklin said the depot is a hand
some one and modern in its plans and
appointments. But, he states. while
h depot has been completed more
than a month, painted inside and out,
and ready for use With the exception
seating, 1t has never been opened to
the public.
The old depot is a very small build
ing. with a waiting room barely Sutti-
cient to accommodate a dozen PERSONS
Moreover, it is not comfortable The
Corporation Commission some months
ago gave its attention to the situation
and the outcome of its investigation
was an order requiring the railroads To
build 8 union depot at Apex adequate
to the needs Of the public in consid-
eratiCn of the largely increased NUM-
Der of passengers using the station on
count of the connection there Of the
two roads and the large transfer
travel. The order required that The
station be completed by November 1st.
on or soon after this date the building
was completed and the freight depart
ment has been used by the railroads
for the past month or more. But the
passenger departments are kept lock
ed n so far as the convenience Of
the travelling public is concerned, it
is the same as if no notice or the mat
ter had ever been taken by the Com
mission.
It is stated thai on last Monday,
which was an extremely cold day, a
large number of passengers arriving at
apex on the Durham and Southern
train to make connection with the
SeabOar trains for Raleigh ana
points north, We're allowed by the con-
ductOr of the Durham and Southern to
remain in the cars in order that they
might be protected from tho cold.
there being entirely too many to find
standing room in the old depot. 1t is
said that almost daily a large number
of passengers ave to stand out on
the ground in the weather around the
little shack and wait for trains.
There is something of a report that
the railroads are waiting to open the
new depot until they can complete a
switch track. However, all trains stop,
and the passengers are put off at the
new depot.
1t is stated that there is n great deal
of complaint on the part OF passengers
transferring there. the Apex people
themselves having less to say about it
from the fact that they being at home
and the town small they can remain at
home until near train time. and do not
have to stand on the ground in the
cold weather.
Perhaps after awhile the depot will
be opened. but if the travelling pub
lie must stand in the mud and take
the cold wind, fog and rain through
the winter months, then they can
it better when the bIucbirds
build and the wild flowers bloom, and |
one had rather be in the open air,
breathing its spring fragrance, than
to be in the union depot at st. Louis.
