PLANNING CHANGE
 FOR A. c. s. TRAINS
Understood Efforts Are Being Made to Run Fast Trains
 Further Apart

In addition to stopping it's aeeommoda- ton trains, en route north, at Twentieth street the Alabama Great Southern rail- riad is preparing to inaugurate new schedule as regards it's supplementary fast trains.
 At the present time, the through trains. north and south, follow each ether at intervals of from 10 to 15 minutes Ac- cordlng to the plan being considered at the present time, these trains will follow each other at intervals of several hours.
 In other words, whereas tho second fast train leaves Tuscaloosa shortly after o'clock under the new management 1t will leave between 6:3O and o'clock This will result in increased patronage, 1t is thought, from Tuscaloosa to Birming- ham. and will give Birmingham another through train to New York.
 If the plan materializes, the Alabama Great Southern will operate New York train leaving Birmingham about S:l5 clock and reaching New York the fol- lowing afternoon.
 It is understood that the plun in refer ence to stopping tho trains at Twentieth street will be acted upon this lnonth-and favorably.
