THE NEW BLUE RIDGE SCHEDULE The Blue Ridge Railway contemplates putting into operation on January 6th a new sohedule. The regular passenger train will leave Walhalla at 6.25 a. m. ; the accommodation (freight and passen ger) will leave at 8 a. m., and at 4.80 p. m. another passenger train will leave Walhalla. The arrivals of trains from Anderson will be as fol lo WK: Regular passenger at 2.80 p. m. ; accommodation, 6.40 p. m.; last regular passenger at 0.43 p. m. Wo have been aware for some time nf this proposed change in sohedule, and at first we were inclined to feel aggrieved at it; evon at this late day no are free to admit that in some reapoota we do not like it. But wo feel, at the samo time, that it is not our place to either com mend or condemn a proposed schedule with the full detaila of which wo are not thoroughly con vc: H ant. We have been criticised during tho past week for "suppressing" an article written by "a party" against the new schedule. This artiole reaohed The Cornier on Wednesday morning, just at tho time we aro busiest getting ready for the preaa. Not foeling it proper that we should criticise the new sohedulo before it is given a trial, we did not wish to publish thu articlo written, but not signed, by said "party." Unsigned criticisms in a newspaper aro rightly supposed to be ono of two things-either criticisms by tho editor, or articles whoso contents so thoroughly accord with the editor's viows that he is williug to assume re sponsibility for them. In this instance the article in question did uot fit either of t hero requirements. Wo did not fool disposed to assuino re sponsibility for this party'a article, nor could he be seen or reached by phone to aecure bia permiasion to sigu his name to it. For that reason alone th? artiolo was not published, and becauae it was not wo are presumed to be guilty of "suppress ing" opinions in the columns of The Courier because we do not fuel dieposed to express them as our own. As a mat ter of fact, The Courier'a columns are open at all times to our roadera or others for expressions of opinion; we not only permit their use, but we invite it. The artiole in question, written by a personally interested party for publica tion in The Courier last week, ia aa fol lows : A new schedule for paaaenger traine on the Columbia and Greenville Rail way ia announced, effective January (Ith next. It ia thought that the change ia made primarily if not solely for the benefit, (?) of Columbia, sine i ! it enables passengers to go there and return home the same MUHT, should anyone so desire. Passengers from this section of the State, however, ?refer to spend the uight in Colum ia sight-seeing, shopping, etc., and do not desire to rush away on the first train out. Another serious draw back to the proposed obange ia that it compels passen sr ure for Charleston and other point/ below Columbia to stop of in thbt city about four hours both going and coming, which, in a sense, removes Charleston from close touch with the upcountry, a consum mation desired neither here nor there. So frr as the ltluo Ridgo Rail way ia concerned a corresponding change of schedule is not desired anywhere on the line, as it is agreed on all sides that the present schedule is all that could bo wished for, should the morning train bo moved up to loave at 5 or 0 a. m. aud the night train set hack to come in at 0 or 10 p. m., it ia obvious that such a change would work a hardship on the local travel. whose comfort and conven ience should be tbo iii st considera tion, since tho through travel is light in comparison with the local. The largo travel to Anderson alone from Walhalla, Snneca, Clemson and Pendleton justifies a convenient and comfortable schodulo both going and coming, and it is hoped that thc management will ROO proper to main tain tho pi osent first-class service, both as to time a.id accommodation. In the outset we W?HII to say that we can no moro disprovo tho abovo claims than wo can prove that tho schodulo will bo of benefit to tho publia. Only tho actual operation of tho schedule can do either, and on that we wait before we attempt to approve or disapprove it. So far as Tho Courier is concerned in a busi ness way, wo aro frank to say wo prefer tho ;>.-csent schedule; but if the pro posed changes will work to the advant ago of tho traveling public in the way of quick transportation and close connec tions at Seneca wit li the Southern main lino r.nd bli Holton with tho Southern's I .'muh..i and Greenville division trains, havo wo the right to opposo tho changes on porsonal grounds'? Wo do not think so. Tho matter of Tho ('miner's con venience or tho convenience of those in the postal and railway service is thrown into tho opposite side of tho scale from that of the general public, aud the lattor outweighs tho former. As we understand the situation, the new Bohodule is tho work of a joint cou aulUtioQ of railway offioials and the ?Stnto Railroad Commission; it is made for the purpose of, if possible, meeting the demanda of the publie for, quicker trips from the upper to the lower part of the State, and vice versa. Radical changes on the Southern's main lise have made necessary the obangea on the Blue Ridge, aud if they do not accomplish the pur pose for which they ar? made they will be revoked. The situation in regard to railway sobedules has gotten to oe a serious mat ter in that it keeps some one continually on the "kicking" list. If the present change does not prove what it is in tended to be, we hope tbat somehow a schedule can be arranged that? will at once give the public adequate accommo dation and at the same time c. m for m to the wishes of all interested parties. For the present it is best to give the schedule.a fair trial before trying to have it revoked. Severai railroad men to whom we have spoken in regard to-lt have ?U Um tbat, though personally op posed to it because of its before-day ?od almost midnight features, they believed it will prove a bettor solution of the problem of quick transit^ to all points than any schedule we have had*: Let us wait and see what is accom plished by it. If it proves a failure, then let us go to tho proper authorities, and, armed with facts, secure the relief needed. On what, now, oould we base a protest? Nothing more substantial than that it ia unpleaaant to get up early enough to oatoh a 5 o'clock train, cr that it isn't convenient to get borne at 10 at night. The answer would naturally be that if we did not choose to patronize the early and late traine we should leave on the 8 a. m. train, or nome in at 4.30 in the afternoon-hours almoat ideutioal to the arrivai and departure of the regular passengor trains as operated at present. Railroads are public servants. Their operation should be so arranged as to effect the greatest good to the greatest number. Those in direct authority are mon interested in the welfare of the sec tions furnishing the business of their road. Certainly Walhalla furnishes no small amount of the revenue of the Blue Ridge railway, and we are confident that Superintendent Anderson will look to tho best interests of our people along with those of his road. [After the above was in type we re ceived a request to withhold toe name of tho author of the article referred to, and for that reason we havo snbstit utcd the words "a party," for his name.] Atlanta barbers have agrerd to charge 35 cunts for a hair out and 20 cents for a shave. Full beards and long hair may bo the proper thing yet. *.* Wo ought to make 1007 a year of pro gress for Walhalla. United effort is the only way to do it. Let us get together, pull together and stay together. Thore is nothing like unity of purpose and unity of action. Wise Counsel from the South.
