Dispatch. h Give Us a Change, Please. For several months past the people living between Columbia and Augusta have been subjected to many inconveniences on account of the late arrival of the morning train from Columbia, and we think that it is getting time?high time?the Southern was offering relief. That the Columbia-Augusta division is one of the j '' most important of the Southern's en- j tire sjstem there cc i be no doubt, it (traverses one of the richest farming t, ' sections of the State, and a number of -V towns are located along this line of road. Hundreds of farmers who used I to receive their, dady papers on the same day ,in which chey are published, fare now forced to receiver them next day?ail because of the Southern's bad schedule. For years ^and years, the morning train wa9 dub to arrive at Lexington at 7:30 in the morning; now it is due an hour and a half later. The rural carriers could wait on the I mails, cover their routes and get back home by the middle of the arrernoon. Now that the summer months are approaching, these faithfnl employes of Uncle Sam will have fo travel in the heat of the day, unless there be a change of schedule. The people living along the Batesburg-Perry line are forced to receive v' A their mail a day late because the trains do not connect at Batesbnrg. | : - " The people have been patient?hoping against hope that Superintendent Williams would make an effort to |-V z^ght the great wrong; and we trust fi: > that this popular official of the South sn? will use his efforts in the interest *f tito pebple and give the relief so noxiously awaited. Let us ,haVe a change in schedule, please. * FAULT-FINDING. It is easy to find fault. Very few fault-finders have any remedy to offer for the practice they condemn or criticise. It is common to' hear men criticise the methods of selecting juries, but it is rare that a better plan is suggested than that which is m vogue. It is common to bear criticisms of the present pnblic school system; bnt few per8eos who criticise the system have ever-offered a better to the suffering public. To criticise the preaching of minisA? - * 4-u-i ?io fthpjin mmmon iera ui mo guuyci 10 Vuv~r ? place; though we venture the assertion that the preacher who is criticised preaches better sermons on an average than the utterances of his critic, in point of morality. Many people find fault with the city council; but few, if any, ever suggest better methods for the government of the municipality than those in practice. It i9 a cheap thing to criticise Dewspapers; but an experienced newspaper man rarely, if ever,, lifts his voice in fault-finding in this-respect. We are finding fault with a large .class of people in this editorial utterance ; and we offer a suggestion for the betterment of the habits of those to whom we refer? praise more the vir^n?R. and sneak less of the faults of men and institutions. Do this, and All will be better off and happier.? Abbeville Medium. The above is mighty well said. We need fewer fault-finders and more workers for the common good. Columbia his had many shocking murders during the last few years, but none of them compare with the awful tragedy of last Saturday, when a woman and a man were shot down in theif humble place of business without a moment's warning. Surely hnuian life is getting cheap in South Carolina. It i9 to be hoped that "Billy" Ball will see to it that Columbia sustains , l her reputation as a "Square Meal - Town'* during the meeting of the press association. It seem3 to be a common practice nowadays for the women to sign parion petitions. The opportunity is still open for Tom Felder to write that book. ~ v .
