Mr.. Herr Says G. of c.
Will Make Protest
The Daily Commonwealth:

Under the caption "A Big Question
fer the Chamber of Commerce." ref
erence is made to the fact that Pres
ident Edwards, of the Railroad Com
mission, has decided to reopen the
case in which it annulled former or
der compelling the meeting of Y. &
M. V. and Southern trains, at Moor
head, as at present. This was done
some two weeks since, and the Green
wood Chamber of Commerce immed
lately wired Gen. Superintendent
Egan, of the Y & M. ", "this entire
section, including Moorhead, Belzoni
Lexington, and all intermediate points
on the Y. & NJ. ", and Greenville to
Winona on the Southern, violently op-
posed to change" This was followed
by letter re-iterating in strongest
terms possible the intense opposi-
ton developing throughout this entire
section, to the changes in schedule
which it was rumored were to take
place within a week or ten days. In
reply to this Col. Egan wrote the
Chamber of Commerce that no sched-
ules had yet been drafted and that be-
fore any were the citizens of Green
wood, Belzoni, Moorhead, and all 9TH
er communities interested, would be
consulted. His positive, unqualified
statement replied to this letter: "This
conference should include representa-
tives from every town on the Sunflo-
wer District from Ruleville to Belzoni,
and if the connection at Tchula for
Lexington is to be considered, by ev-
ery town between here and Lexington.
The feeling in this matter seems to
grow hourly, and is very strong. The
people throughout this entire section
seem to be absolutely determined that
the connections at Moorhead shall not
be broken, and ready to go to any
extreme to prevent it. The people
from Greenville to Winona are unit
in opposition, and just as bitter. Sun
flower county people claims it cuts
them off from their county seat
Roads everywhere in this section are
now impossible, and the railroads are
the only reliance. 1t is claimed that
with the Moorhead connection brok-
en-, the entire train service of this
section is completely disrupted. This
Chamber of Commerce is daily and
hourly in receipt of complaints and
entreaties, from all over this district
begging it to join in protest against
the breaking of this connection parti-
cularly, and in any change of sched-
ules generally. Every merchant, bus
mess man and banker in Greenwood,
is similarly beseiged. Greenwood is
a unit in opposition to the breaking
of the connection at Moorhead. It
is convineed It would be nothing short
Of = disaster to the people Of this Sec
! ton, and will not consider at all any
pxoposition looking to that end"
