opened to the public. The patrons of
the railway have waited, but now they
are becoming impatient and they are
roundly abusing the railroad people
for their delay in giving Sumter a
station.
During rainy, cold weather, every
body has to stand out in the weather
and suffer. and this is especially hard
on the ladies and children, as every
one knows. 1t is bad enough for the
men. The railway has been taking
the peoples good coin all this time
just the same. A few evenings ago,
when 1t was cold and rainy, a lady ar
rived on the Gibson train. about 6
o'clock, and wanted to take the Co.
lumbia train at 9.44. She was obliged
to hire hack and go to q hotel when
she would have preferred to stay in
the waiting room. This is but one of
many instances. It does seem that the
road could have put in material and
hands in a short time and built the
station within month or two, any
way. short delay was pardonable.
but now after nearly nine months of
waiting there can be no excuse from
the standpoint of the public. When
will Sumter's handsome and commo-
dious CD station be completed? That
Is the question.
The law requires that railway COM
panies shall provide comfortable wait
ing rooms for its patrons. Has this
road violated the law.
