and unjust, are made on railroads. that they
have formed the habit OF leaving undone
that which no demand Is made for. 1t Is Just
Hodges, that our people are forced to submit
to. Is due TO the fact that some other TOW n,
With more aggression, Is being accommo-
dated to our detriment.
From the standpoint Of the roads best In.
terest there can be no good reason for the
delay. Trains leaving Gseenville for which
the Abbeville trains wait, do not make con-
nect.ons with any train on the Air Line road.
They stand idly at Greenville, without pur-
pose, until the scheduled hour for departure.
The Southern Road embraces thousands OF
miles OF track and touches thousands oil
towns. Necessarily 1t can not give ear to the
feeble request of the individual, nor can II
always know Of the wrongs 1t iphlcts upon
the people. The people Of the town, In al
organized capacity, through the business
league or otherwise, should lay their requests
for fair treatment before the authorities OF
the road promptly, and II they are unheeded,
they should place them before the Railroad
commissioners. This Is what the commits
sion is for. One OF Its first duties should be TO
equalize the rights OF communities.
II we are content TO remain unnoticed.
while other towns get what is asked for, both
the railroads and the Railroad Commission
will willingly leave US to the enjoyment OF
our complacent self satisfaction, while they
extend courtesies to other towns.
While we are largely to blame for this lack
OF consideration by the Southern Road, that
road is nevertheless pursuing q short-sighted
policy toward us. The Seaboard Road has
greatly to the upbuilding of Alb.
oeville. its officials have always shown the
friendllest disposition for our people, and for
our accommodation, a special train was run
from this place to Atlanta and return for
many months. Now with the klndliest feel.
ing for both roads, 1t may be suggested, that
people In time learn the meaning Of reciprc-
cation, and act upon the knowledge.

Ask and We Shall Receive.

The Good Book said, ask and ye shall IT
ceive. II this is true and from this source
none will deny the truth, the reverse must
be true, at least In part. II you do not ask
you will not receive. In dealing with raj =
roads hat Is unqusliiedly true.
Time and again. this paper has called al
tention to matters in which the Southern
Road shows lack OF consideration for this
place, and the wrong complained OF still I'M
r,ghted. Let 1t be understood at the outset
that this complaint Ia brought In no spirit OF
unfriendliness for the road. for no such spirit
is entertained either by this paper or the peo-
pie of Abbeville. In fact, II there 10 any par
TALLY shown by the people OF this town 1t Is
for the road with which they have been doing
business longer. This fact would doubtless
be borne ont by the books OF the Companies.
It ts not likely, however. that this partiality
will continue unless the Southern does
something toward sustaining the relations.
Passengers from thia place who would 60 to
Columbia on that 1880 a. m. train, are dump
ed at Hodges for q wait Of something like an
hour. Likewise on the return night train
they are compelled to submit TO the same
wait at Hodges. Women with little children
might undergo such an ordea! occasionally,
because OF a delayed train. but to subject
them to such q walt, by regular schedule, is
q hardship to our town.
Four or five months ago the turn.table at
this place was brok en-, and up to this time 1t
has not been fixed. AS a result the engine
has to make its return trip doodle bug fash
ION. causing unavoidable delay and endsn-
geripg life.
Recently the road advertised reduced rates
TO the County Fair at Anderson, and presum-
ably they were given from Insignificant
points on the main line, but none were put
on sale at Abbeville.
II is q well known fact that the statutes Of
the State require the delay in trains to be
posted, and to do his each agent should be
furnished with a telegraph operator, and yet
for some time our agent was required to get
along without the assistance OF an operator
thus leaving the public In the dark as to the
progress Of trains.
Now these are apparently Insignificant
matters, but they are OF great consequence to
the travelling public. But grant, for sake of
argument that the individual should submit
y ithout protest to delay and Inconvenience,
should the town quietly acqniesce in this
laok OF considerations. The tow ia more
than half to blame. So many demands just

Messrs. Link Bros. give notice that they
will discontinue the sale of ice on the first OF

for several months this summer, but they do
not propose to keep Ice this winter. So, II
you laid in you winter coal last summer,
you had better lay In your next summer Ice
now. The city has undertaken TO give Us cool
water this winter, with no extra charge for
low temperature. This forces the Messrs.
