NEW TRADE TRAIN
INTO AMERICUS
FULLY ASSURED
Central Of Georgia VIII Inaugu-
rate New Passenger Service On
Columbus Division Oct. 2

A change in passenger sched-
ules on the. Columbus division of
the Central Of Georgia railway,
without interfering with present
freight schedules on the division,
was practically assured Americus
merchants by representatives OF
the Central who were in the city
today.
This announcement was made tc
The Times-Recorder by Tom Wade
division passenger agent, who was
accompanied by c. Baldwin, superm-
tendent of the Columbus division, and
S. C. Harris, district passenger
agent.
"We arc anxious to give you folks
better passenger schedules between
Columbus and Americus," Mr.. Wade
said Nov we are running mixed
trains, that is a train made up CT
freight and passenger cars. Oal
p}ans are to maintain the present
freight schedules, but to drop thf
passenger cars.
"On October we expect to begin
running train Of passenger cars
only, the train leaving Columbus AT
8:45 a m., arriving at Americas at
abou+ II q. m. This train will then
leave Americas at about 3:15 p. m.r
arriving bacll in Columbus at about
5:15 p. m. Ihese changes will make
it possible fQ' the Central to give
Americus anApoints between Amerl.
Gus and Columbus better freight ann
passenger service.
'"The change must go before thc
state Public Service commission foi
it; permission before the change car
be made" said Mr.. Wade.
The change as announced by the
Central representatives,, will be &c
the material advantage of Americas
merchants, and to all those on this
division desiring to visit Amerlcas
for business or other purposes. II
means that the people of Buena Wis
tn, EIaville, La Crosse Doyle, Put
nam and other points on the line can
leave home about 9:30 in the morn
ing, arrive in Americus at II a. M
Shop until 3:f5 and arrive back home
before 4 80 or 5 900 p. IN. The trains
will cover the distance very mucf
more rapidly than now, because nc
freights will be taken on or put off.
The handling of freights will be
more efficient because of the facl
that train crews will not be compelled
to care for the passenger service nor
to observe a close schedule.
The change is very much to the
advantage of this entire section con
tingent to the Columbus division OF
the Central Of Georgia railway.

but with few final reports.
Among the Inquiries were: Dispo

American Expeditionary forces had
been hanged without trials; the al.
legged dye lobby; railroad problems !,
