REFERRED TO R. R. COMMISSION.


We notice from the Columbia papers
that the mayor and citizens and the
railroad commission are trying to raise
a little row because the c. \, & L,
railroad has no passenger station al
the Gervais street terminal. Whether
the purpose is to make the G. \. & l..
run its morning train into the Union
station, or make it put up pas
senger station at Gervais street or
not, We do not know.
Really there is very little need of a
passenger station at the Gervais street
and we are satisfied that the very great
majority of the people who use this
train would much rather have it stop
at Gervais street without any further
accommodation than to have to lose
the time necessary to go around to
the Union station. In fact, We do not
believe there is a demand from the
people who use this train for any
changes or additions. 1t has served
the people of the Dutch Fork for twen-
ty-fve years and the people who use
it are satisfied with it, and the COM
mission would do we'll to let wei!
enough alone. The train is.always ready
to receive passengers at least % or 80
minutes before the time to depart, and
it is just as comfortable as station
would be, and then the passengers are
on when they go down to the station
aid have no further trouble. And
on the arrival of the train there is al
ways a street car ready to receive the
passengers, and hacks and automobiles,
and there is no need for station then
In fact, the traveller is saved at least
an hour by getting off and on at Ger
vais. And a great many of the pas
sengers on the morning and afternoon
trains on this road get off and on at
Gervais street.
If the railroad commission is really
anxious to do something that will nelp
and be an accommodation to the trav-
cling public let them take up with the
C. & W. C. railroad the matter Of haul
ing the afternoon train from Colum-
bia to Laurens on to Greenville, as it
did for a long time. That would give
the Greenrille people the opportunity
to come to Columbia in the morning
and spend the day and return the same
afternoon. That would help some and
be a convenience to a great many trav-
cling people and the public generally.
We hope the papers at Laurens and
Greenville will take this matter up and
call the attention of the railroad COM
mission to it. 1t may be that the con-
mission does not know that this con-
nection has been broken for about a
year now.

WASHINGTON
Ethel Clayton Tells
w hy She Think ks
Domestic Dramas
Interesting

The hazards OF domestic life that
are being set forth in q series Of
photoplays in which Ethel Clayton
and Joseph Kaufman are appearing.
have made a deep impression on
the young leading woman. she has
become much interested in the vari-
Gus types Of domestic unhappiness
that she Is presenting and believes
that her work means a great deal
to the wives and husbands who see
the. pictures.
Miss Clayton is rather q serious
young woman. under any circum-
sances, and takes her work as a
photoplayer In the most serious
manner. She believes that unless a
player has some real sympathy with
the lesson that is being taught 4
the drama, good results cannot
come from the Interpretation of the
drama. Miss Clayton, therefore
studies the problems that are pre-
sented and endeavors to show exact
ly what their effect would be on he
personally. .
She believes there 10 as much draS
matte interest in the life of the
married couple after marriage as
there Is before marriage. And as
most plays end with the marriage
of the hero and heroine, Miss Clay
ton Is taking particular pleasure in
the series which deals with the
couple after marriage. In the cur
rent issue of the Photoplay Maga-
zine she writes: -.
II believe that as intense love in
terest may be. developed In play
about husband and wife as about
sighed over a balcony. / think the
interest may be even greater, even
as the lives and emotions Of a man
and a woman are bigger and broad
er than the lives and emotions OF
any, boy or girl. no matter how. ar
dent. 90 ~
II think that we all like to see
plays and read stories in which
other people make our own mistakes
Now. isn't that the height Of hu-
man interest? l am never really
so happy as when I find some mimic
character fioundering around In my
Human nature is most interested

Just so long as II Is, the drama and
comedy of life will be the same. We
are all shouting for somebody else
to pay the piper Of Justice-perhaps
thinking that In his collections else
where our own debt may skip his
mind.
IT am by no mean a sociologist;
! am only a player reproducing life
as I see 1t when 1t swims through
my own little pond Of existence. but
even so much observation has taught
me to be an optimist. 1 believe
that the young married people Of
today are Oh. ever so much happier
than their grandparents! Why?
Because they know more.
II am quito sure that there IL n
dreadful mistake in the Book Of
Genesis. I feel positive that Adam

edge, hut for deliberately munching

stood two children, who held hands and
laughed. They were. Tommy Barclay
