STATIONS
WOULD SAVE BOTH PEOPLE And
THE RAILROADS MUCH
TIME
MAY FORCE CONNECTIONS
(By w. J. Martin.)

Raleigh, Sept. IA large number
of interested citizens have signed a
petition just filed with the corpora
ton commission appealing for
change of schedule for Norfolk Sou
thern and Atlantic Coast Line trains
leaving Greenville morning and even.
ing so that connections can be assur-
ed that will prove of great conven-
ience to the travelling public. The
morning train on the Norfolk South
er nleaves Greenville at Isl and the
Atlantic Coast Line leaves at 8.18.
And in the afternoons the Norfolk
Southern leaves at $50 and the At
lantic Coast Line at 6:33. The de-
mand is for the morning trains to be
required to connect and the after
noon trains to connect also. In this
way it is pointed out it would be
possible for people between Green
vile and Kinston to leave their home
in the morning and come to Raleigh
and intermediate points and transact
business and return the same day
for this trip. The petition also asks
that the connections at Kinston be
investigated for the reason that the
train arriving at Kinston for Beaufort
and the Atlantic Coast Line train for
Weldon arrive at the same time with
out maintaining connections. If this
connection were required, which could
be done with a fifteen minute change
of schedule it would be a great con-
venience for people of Grifton, Ayden
Winterville, Greenville, Parmele, Ro-
Jacksonville, Williamson, GAINESVILLE
and Plymouth. The INSURANCE is made
that these connections asked for in
the petition would have a most graft
flying effect on the rapidity and con-
venience of travel from the great
northeastern section of the state
through all the western section OF
the state.
o. J. Arnett, of Sampson county,
gets a second pardon from a sentence
to eight years in the penitentiary for
secret assault. The fifirst was from
Governor Glenn and the second has
just been granted by Governor Kit
chin. The first pardon was condition
ed on good behavior and sobriety.
Some months ago it came to the at
tention of Governor Kitchin that Ar
nett was frequently drunk and had
been up repeatedly for disorderly
conduct. The Glenn pardon was re-
voked. Now the prisoner has served
two months in Jail under the revo-
cation. Imprisonment is having a bad
effect on his health and the pardon
is allowed under more strict condi-
tions as to sobriety.
