upon the children who have been com
ing in on the train each morning to
attend school here, returning to their
homes in the afternoon. There are
quite number of such children in
the county who have been wholly de-
pendent upon the train to reach Co.
lumbia until the train service is again
normal, or lose the benefit Of the work
they have already done.
There are also quite a number of
business mon who reside in the coun-
ty, who come each morning to their
work in Columbia, returning in the
afternoon, 1t will be necessary for
these men to remain in the city or to
purchase automobiles to get in.
The reduction in train service will
greatly interfere with, and curtail the
mai! service to points reached by
these trains.
This reduction in train service will
also work hardship upon the mer.
chants of the city, as Christmas shop
ping was just beginning, and unless
means of reaching the city can be Sc
cured shopping will be greatly reduc-
ed
From Culleoka comes word that
school children and business men are
planning to come in just as long as
the weather will permit in automo-
bileg.
One Of the trains which has been
taken off. has been in the service
since before the close of the civil war
this train is listed on the schedule as
No. 5 to Decatur, and No. 6 to Nash
vile, but to the public it is known as
"Captain Kids" train. as for nearly
q half century the late Captain Kidd
was conductor on this train.
The reduction in train service is sure
to prove dcmoraizing for a time at
least, until the people of the county
become accustomed to the new SEIZED
ule, and arrange their plans in ac-
COrdanCe. 1t is not known how Ions
the reduction in service will remain
in force, but of course the trains will
not he put back until there has been
material improvement in the coal stu.
alton. and there is some question as
to when this will be. The bottom of
the nations coal bin is showing plain
ly. The immense surplus stocks OF
cCal have nearly been exhausted. and
until these are replenished, the trains
will be left off.
