CONTEMPT FOR THE PUBLIC.

The NeWberry Herald and News
makes this timely comment:
1.-THE railroad commissioners pass
ed an order at meeting held at
Glenn Springs last week to require
the Atlantic Coast Line to have its
passenger coaches cleaned at Green
vile and Charleston. It is a good
time to see if We could get this road
to install parlor car service be-
tween Greenville and Charleston.'
The Greenville News has been
laboring in season and out for
the past several years to get the rail-
road to operate chair car between
Greenville and Charleston, but as
far as we have been able to find out,
our efforts on behalf of the SUI
fering and long misused travelling
public have been treated with con-
tempt.
This paper has not been asking for
this improvement in the passenger
service over the line from here to
Charleston via the Atlantic Coast
Line because of any desire on its part
to put the railroad to any unneces-
sary expense. But We have urged the
Improvement because it is badly need
ed, and, more than this, because the
company is abundantly able to give it.
There is a time coming when the
Railroad Commission Of South Caro-
lima will feel obliged to take deep
er interest in the matter and will cor
porate with the News and Col. Aull's
paper at Newberry, and one Or two
others who enlisted in the cause OF
travelers.-Greenville News.
We do not know that We are ready
to say that the railroad commission
and the railroads are treating the
matter with contempt. Certainly they
have paid no attention to the re-
peated suggestions from Greenville
and Newberry. We have about
reached the conclusion that we will
ask Mr.. Brunson to 60 with US to
Columbia and we will present the mat
ter ourselves. We believe that We
could convince the railroad commits
sion and the railroad people that it
would be to their interest to install
this service. We have brought the
matter to the attention Of our cham
ber of commerce several times but If
any active steps have been taken we
have not heard of it. This is a work
which the chamber Of commerce ought
to take up.
A railroad man said to us some
years ago "The only way you can get
anything from the railroads is to ask
for it, or words to that effect.
The Southern ran parlor car
spasmodically during the past few
years and concluded that it did not
pay. We cannot tell whether such a
service will pay or not by running
car every other day and then not con-
tinuing it for more than month or
two.
We believe that cafe car such as
the Southern operates between Char
lesion and Asheville would pay be-
tween Greenville and Columbia, but,
of course, it would have to be kept on
for sufficient time to let the travel
ling public know that such service
was in existence.
We desire to suggest to our friend
of the Greenville News that the only
way to get anything done, especially
of this character, is to keep everlast-
ingly at it, and if he will hold up his
end we will do what we can at this
point. Somehow we have never been
able to interest Columbia, but We still
have hope.
Comptroller General Jones must not
