THE SCHEDULES SETTLED SAT-
ISFACTORILY.

ana the representatives OF the towns
between Greenville and Columbia and
from Walhalla to Bolton to consider
the schedules Of the passenger trains
on the roads between these points re-
suited in satisfactory adjustment
to all parties concerned.
The Herald and News has had
something to say about the reasons
for calling this conference, and has
also taken the position that the
schedules inaugurated on the Colum-
bia and Grecnville division the first
OF this year were the most satisfac-
tory that have ever been operated on
that line.
The on ly protest came from Andcr-
son, and as has been stated, and as
was developed at the meeting at
Grccnvillc. the complaint Was more ON
account Of the schedules on the Blue
Ridge than on the Southern.
Anderson was not satisfied because
under the present schedules people
from Walhalln and intermediate
points could. not 90 to Anderson and
attend to business and return the
same day without great incoMveni-
ence. That was the main kick Of
Anderson, and it did seem prcposter-
GUS in order to remedy this that the
Anderson people should desire to
change the schedules on the Southern,
but they thought that was the only
way to get the relief that they want
ed, and put up as strong fight as they
could. but their position was illogical.
and they soon realized that the I'M
animity of endorsement from the
towns along The main line was too
strdng. and that their FIGHT was q
hopeless one.
The only protest of schedule from
Columbia to Grccnvillc was a request
from Ninety Six that the train, which
has been operated from Grccnvillc to
Greenwood. be extended to Ninety
Six. This. Mr.. Ackcrt agreed to do.
y committee was appointed to ad-
just, if possible. the schedules on the
Blue Ridge so as to meet the wishes
OF the people Of Anderson. After that
had been done and the mcctin. Of the
committee was about ready to adj
Journ, Mr.. Arkrrt and Mr.. Simpson
. decided that they would put third
train on from Grccnvillc to Columbia
and from Columbia to Grccnvillc.
which will be operated on the old
Srb nj
agreements and requests Of the pco-
pie of Anderson and nj the same time
meet the wishes of the people along
the line from Columbia to Grccnvillc.
The railroad officials were proba
bly, induced to do this which was
really not asked by the people on the
main lllc. from the fact that there
was such unanimous Endorsement and
satisfaction of the schedule, which
had been in operation since the first
OF The year.

OF the chamber of commerce; c. J.
Purcell, f. n. Martin and f.. IT. Aull
The chairman ut the meeting, Mr.
l.. w. Parker. handled the rcprcscn.
tativrs in most excellent style, and
to the satisfaction of all the corhml,-
mites. llr' called for the expressions

that this road has ever had.
