bej;er roadbed and better equipment.
Is d very warm one with the railroad
commission and has resulted in con-

4 letter was received to-day by the
commission from Mr.. C. H. Ackert,
vice president and general manager of
the Southern Railway, stating that
after looking into the matter Of rail
between Aston and Greenville he
finds that they have in the track

do its best.
One Of the railroad commissioners,
in speaking Of the situation this
morning said: Il think that Mr.. Ac-
kert is wrong about the rails. The
present rails between Aston and
Grenville will not permit the running
of faster train over the road. The
rails on the road vary from 45 to 70
pounds weight. The roadbed is in
bad condition. AS you may know
the loads Of freight cars are very
much heavier now than they used to
be, and this is very wearing on rails.
In many places the rails are badly
worn. No announcement has come to
us that the equipment Of the road has
been improved:"
The people Of the State along the
line Of the Greenville and Columbia
branch Of he Southern have been
clamo"ina for some time for a third
faster train between Columbia and
the up-counlrN.
\ meeting Of the representatives Of
the Chamber oi' Commerce from The
various towns along the line was held
in Greenville recently and all phases
Of the matter discussed Chairman
Earle, Of the commission, attended the
meeting and afterwards addressed Il
letter to the commission. in. which
he stated that the rails Of the road
were not sufficient to allow the oper-
ating of faster train, and suggested
that an Improvement be asked for
by the commission. A resolution was
later passed by the commission.

was an appeal by Chairman Payne TO
his colleagues to send the conferees

an explanation Of every amendment
