urgent ,ntrcaty OF the great major
icy Of It's people. Unlike. England.
where the number of the Church Of
England and the Nonconformists Is
about equal. in Wales the Noncon-

ity. Therefore on that ground alone
the demand Of the Welsh Is fair and

A JUST COMPLAINT.

The Sun has from time TO time call
ed attention 70 the need OF better depot
accommodations Of the railroads enter
ing Gainesville and the Railroad Com
mission has made an effort TO have bet
ter facilities provided. but the ex-
cursiOn Of the Sunday school picnick-
ers 20 Interlachen Friday demon
strated the immediate need for a
change OF alteration Of the Atlantic
Coast Line passenger station.
Between 1880 and $3.50 o'clock the
ticket agent sold GA tickets for the
excursion. and the manner in which
the people had 20 push and shove
one another TO gain admittance to
the ticket window was anything but
a credit to the railroad system or the
city. This condition was OccasiOned
by the depot having only one en-
trance. and taking into consideration
that a majority Of those purchasing
tickets for this occasion were women
and children. Il was most un-
pleasant. and served as a. damper TO
the days outing at the very start.
This condition can be remedied at
small expense by making side exits
10 both white aud colored wait
ing rooms. and il is 10 be hoped that
the railroad authorities will not de-
lay this necessity any longer. The
present accommodations are an impO-
sition' on the public. and Il is sug-
gested that II relief Is not given be-
fore the railroad attempts TO accom-
modate our people on similar oc-
casions, a ticket wagon be used on
the outside I'm order that the public
may be more agreeably served.
should the Railroad Commission, A. G..
L. officials and the Gaine-vil e. City Coun.
ell never agr,e a. 20 the roper sTecitica-
tions for a new passenger station, th"
railroad company can certainly att ri o.
make the alterations suggested above.
