THE c., n. & L. SCHEDULE.
Columbia, Oct. 5, 1912

Columbia, Oct 5, 1912.
The Herald and News, Newberry, S.
C.-Gentlemen: l notice in the issue
of your paper of October an article
headed:
New Sunday Train. c., n. & L. In
augurates, Excellent New Passenger
Schedule, Effective on Sundays OAly."
By glancing at this, we see that it
is about the same schedule that the
Southern now runs between here and
Greenville. However, what would be
more excellent, in my opinion as we'll
as in that of others here in Columbia,
would be a way to get from Columbia
to Newberry and the upcountry on
Sunday afternoons. We can already
get there on Sunday morning by catch
ing the Southern's train, and this new
schedule, which you headline as so
EXCELLENT, could be very material
ly added to by letting the present Co.,
n. & L. weekly train make its trip al
so on Sunday afternoon, leaving this
city as it does now in the week, at 5
D. N. OF course, individually, / am Op-
posed to Sunday trains of every de-
scriptiOn, because l think this day
should be set apart as day Of rest
and all laboring men given the priv
ilege of enjoying it; but, if we are to
have trains, we might as we'll get as
much convenience as we can out of
them.
I merely throw this out as sug-
gestion for your consideration.
Very respectfully,
Cole L. Blease.
The Herald and News regarded the
schedule as excellent in the sense that
it was additional service to what we
already had. We agree with Gov.
, lease llldI IuG SCuGuuIS NOu1u nav
been much more convenient had the
c., n. & L. given us a Sunday morning
train to Columbia and Sunday even
ing train out of Columbia to the up
country.
The new schedule, as it is, is great
help to Laurens, and points not touch
ed by the Southern, which have hereto
fore had no train from Columbia un-
til the midday passenger. 1t is real
ly of not much benefit to Newberry.
We endorse the suggestion of the
governor also as to operating the
present c., N. & L. weekly train on
Sundays. 1t will be recalled that The
Herald and News for number of years
has been urging the railroad authori-
ties to put Pullman on this train
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-10-08

which would be carried over the Sea-
board from Clinton to Atlanta, ena5-
ling the people CT Columbia to take
a sleeper at Columbia at ) o'clock in
the afternoon and to get to Atlanta for
breakfast, and giving the people of
Newberry the benefit of this excellent
arrangement On the return Atlanta
could be left at about midnight and
Newberry would be reached at $50
a. m.
All of these arrangements, Of coarse,
on the well-settled policy of the rail-
roads in operating Sunday trains. The
Herald and News would like to see all
/ Sunday trains discontinued, believing,
with the governor, that this day
should be- set apart as a day of rest
and all laboring men given rDe pr:vi'-
lege of enjoying IL
Talking of Sunday trains, it may be
remarked that there already seems to
be reaction in the matter OF Sunday
work. The world has been moving fas-
ter and faster, and the strain getting
greater and greater, but it was only
recently that the act of congress went
into effect discontinuing, to large eX-
tent, the receipt of Sunday mail. The
Herald and News believes that the Sab
bath was made for man, not only as a
day set apart for worship, but also as
a day of rest and recreation and of
cessation from the ceaseless grind Of
life.
This, however, is peculiarly an age
when demand brings about the sup
ply. People are able to get what they
want-if they are able to pay for it.
So long as the people ride on Sunday
, trains and make it profitable to oper-
ate Sunday trains, so long will Sun
day trains be operated.
After all, it is very much like the
LIQUOR question. The only effective
way to stop the traffic in whiskey is a
building up of public sentiment
, against it.

Senator T. P. Gore, chairman Of the

united Democracy and divided op-
position renders success doubly Ger

could possibly defeat US but over-con-

BASE BALL

Elkton forfeited Saturdays game with
ing the field in the sixth inning. This
was evidently what Umpire Hogan was
trying to force them to do, seeing no
other apparent hope of delivering" the
game, as Newark could do nothing with
Watson, having only hit him twice up to
the sixth, while Elkton was nammering
Murray to death. In the fifth inning
Henry Scott wlo had opened the game
with three bagger, lost the ball for a
home run, sending three men IN ahead
of him. Here Mr. Hogan starred as an
umpire, making the most unique decision
in the annals of the national game Scott
| logged round the circuit with the ball

body's pasture field, the felders rest.
| ing from their run by searching for it.
| After Scott had reached home, three
other men preceding him, Mr.. Hogan
| (if you please) bethought him that Scott
| had stepped OVER instead of on the
| third sack. Instanter with this think,
| another ball was tossed out of the crowd
| to the third baseman with which ne
| touched Scott somewhere in the jubilat-
| ing crowd and Hogan (MR. Hogan be ii
, said) called him out, the ball never hav-
| ing been put in play at all by return
to the pitchers box the pitcher and
| most of the fielders being entirely off
the field.
| The decision deserves the biue ribbon
| for some" umpiring. The Ekton team
consented to go on with the game, re-
| serving the right to protest it, and con-
| tinued to bang away at Mr.. Murray while
| hot ones, until he broke his own record
| for rotten umpiring by calling a run
ner safe at home, while he was yet some

gave it up in despair 1t is never nice
| to roast an umpire and these columns
| have refrained always from thar course
but Hogans work was so g-aringly and
| boldly bad as to put him entirely out )i
| consideration for any further officiating
| in that line.
| Comment on the game should not fail
| to wonder what demon possessed the Elk

Newark rolled up five runs, though max

termined to bat down the lead, which
