The South Carolina railroad COM
mission visited Bamberg recently on
q tour of inspection of the. Walter
boro division of the Atlantic Coast
Line. Previous to coming to Bam-
berg, conference was held with the
business men of Walterboro in re-
gard to putting into effect a change
of schedule between Green Pond and
Bamberg. It was proposed, by some
of the Walterboro people to put on
a double daily passenger service. An
objection to this seems to be that the
passenger traffic on the line is small,
and it is not probable that any steps
will be taken or that this service will
be insisted upon. The members of
the railroad commission are Messrs.
G. Med. Hampton, chairman; John G.
Richards and Frank W. Shealey.
Brakeman Lost His Leg.
