HELENA PETITION WAS NOT CON-
sIDERED.
The railroad commission Thurs.
day morning deferred the consid-
Grafton of the Helena petition I'M
til Friday week, and in the mean
time it is understood that the con-
ficting railroad schedules will be
so adjusted as to meet the demands
of the petitioners. The Southern
railway proposes to revise it's pas
senger schedules, so that it's south
bound morning train will. make
close connection with the west
bound Seaboard train at Helena.
Under the present arrangement,
the Seaboard train leaves Helena
forty five minutes before the
Southern arrives, and this has
caused a number of patrons of the
road much inconvenience. They
petitioned fer relief. The chang
ing of Seaboard schedule, how
ever, was opposed almost as Wig
orously as it was advocated, and
the purpose of the Southern to re-
arrange it's schedule promises to
relieve the situation satisfactorily.

Helena Schedules
Trains will be Changed Oct.
18th so That Connec-
tons will be Made
with the Sea-
board.

In order to make mail and pas
senger connections at Helena, Ga,
with the Seaboard air Line railroad,
the Southern railway has changed
the schedule of it's midnight train
so it will arrive at Helena one hour
aud thirty minutes earlier, giving
the margin of one hours time for
connection with the Seaboard Air
Line. The change will become
effective October Is.
The change in the schdule of the
train was made on account of the
requests that have been received
from patrons at Helena and stations
along the line of the Southern and
Seaboard roads. The Southern's
train now leaves Atlanta about
midnight; arriving at Helena at
SAB a. M, thirty five minutes af-
ter the Seaboard's train passes that
point.
Under the new schedule the
Southern will leave Atlanta about
IL o'clock and arriving at Helena
about 4:1O O'Clock. This will give
