The greater number of them were resi-

of the most progressive sections of

as can be found in any part of Georgia.
From Americas were Capt. John A.

family DR.. and Mrs. Charles Chapman,
while among those from other sections
of the county were Mrs. Num-, OF

citizens.
The religious exercises were found
of especial interest and were much en-
joyed by all in attendance.
At noon the-baskets were opened
and such a dinner as only Sumter can
serve was partaken of. 1t was one OF
the magnificent country feasts that
even tho most jaded appetite could
not resist. In the afternoon the servi-

Such Authority May Be Invested in
Commission.

If the legislature will pass a measure
giving the railroad commission, the
authority to regulate schedules, etc, as
is the case in North Carolina, the
carriers of Georgia will be required
to operate special trains for the ac-
comodation of local travel whenever
it appears that the through connections
will be delayed for an hour or more.
AS the matter now stands, the rail-
road commission has no legal authority
to interfere with or attempt to regulate
the schedules of the carriers of Geor-
gia, and the body has been powerless
to relieve the inconvenient situations
so often developed by late trains.
When the legislature meets this sum-
mer, the decision of the u. S. supreme
court in there cent North Carolina case
will, it is believed, result in the be-
stowal of the necessary legal right
upon the railroad commission.
