Iiously Curtail the time left open for
business at Americas or other points.
The principal point that is raised IN
favor of a change in the schedule by
the Savannah interests is that it
would permit of prompter handling
of the mails. The complaint is made
that the present S. A. L. train leaving
Savannah at o'clock railroad time .G
O'Clock Savannah time) leaves too
soon for business men to get off their
mail on it. If that claim had sufficient
grounds to rest on a change in the
leaving time of that train to o'clock
railroad time, or Z o'clock Savannah
time, would meet the objections and
answer all requirements. That change
has been urged a number of times and
it is not improbable that it will be
made later on, We understand.
The Savannah Chamber of Commerce,
or those using it's influence in this in
stance, also wants sleeper put On
this train if the run is extended from
Helena to Savannah. What good
would that do the people who are real

the afternoon and take a sleeper 20
Savannah on a train arriving there at
midnight, when they can leave on the
Central several hours later and get 10
Savannah at 1855 in the morning.
What is needed is not sleeper on
such a train but one on the train that
leaves Montgomery at $50 in the If
ternoon, passes through Americas al
ter midnight, and arrives at Savannah
at 500 a. m. The schedule of this
train, if possible, should be pushed mp
an hour and half or more, so that it
will arrive in Savannah about 7:30 or
8 a. m. 1t will then better meet the

schedule the Savannah Chamber of Com
merce proposes would be of mighty
little good to the people most inter
ested those in whose interest the

now run.
There are always two sides to any
proposed changes in railroad schedules
and the business interests of Americas
and the intervening country from Hell
ena to Columbus must study this prop
osition pretty closely and be prepared
to effectively combat it.
| Savannah has a morning and night
through train from that city to Mont
gomery, via the Seaboard, lust as it has
a morning and night train to Macon
and Atlanta via the Central Why il
should have an additional through
train each way over the Seaboard when
the Central operates less through a
much more thickly settled country we
fail to see. Americas, Cordele and
other points can be looked upon to
strenuously oppose any plant that in

/ This local train from Helena to Co

country mighty we'll just as it is. As
stated, the little difficulty about mails
can be easily remedied by pushing the
leaving time of the night through train
from Savannah an hour later if the
merchants down there haven't got
push enough to get the mail off at
