9 The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings by The Journal Company C. M. Tucker, Editor Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second class mail matter at the post ottice at rageland, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. May 3, 1916 Col. Ashley, adjuster for the only fire insurance compny now doing business in Pageland, was here Friday and Saturday adjust ing certain losses and looking over risks which his company had here. The opinion had been expressed that this compa nv would withdraw also but he stated that this action would not be taken at this time, but expressed the opinion that some of the property valuations should be lowered, and that policies on all buildings with brickon-edge flues would be canceled unless the . flues are rebuilt at once. m THE MORNING TRAIN Two or three years ago when 1 Vloro ivqc r*rkr\nlor HDtnnnrl fnr n Itiviv Witu |/v/|/uiai V4VU1UUU iui a train leaving Pageland at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning this paper was active in securing the railroad commission's cooperation in the requests for this change of schedule on the C. & L. road. The persistence of the demands caused the train to be run for a while. Later the railroad showed to the commissioners that the train was being operated at a loss, and a contract was signed that a morning train should be run from Pageland to Clieraw each day the county court should be in session and on the first Monday of each month. Conditions have changed. During the time that has elapsed hundreds nf flnlmnftKilftc ho*..* IlUVt been purchased, and the people do not ride on the train. The ^_4aj^_iQJL_autQ_ride$-?bas brought down to about thepi^S of a ticket. During the two weeks of court in April the passenger business done by this train amounted to about twenty dollars a week. The passenger business done by this train has not paid expenses but once or twice since it was put on. ' Much improvement has been made in the roadbed during the past fifteen months. It is esti mated that more than eighteen thousand dollars has been spent on the roadbed alone during this time. The Ruby section which was in very poor condition has been put in fine shape. The road from Pageland to Croburk was in such bad shape that about three hours were required to run the train these eight miles, and then it would gel on the ground almost every time the trip was undertaken The trip is now made when necessary in about an hour without any jumping the track. The freight train used to stay off the track about half the time during the fertilizer season. During the season just closing it has been off the the track but once, we belive, and that tim** because a switch split. The management has shown a willingness to accommodate the people during these fifteen i m/\n<V>o <1- - 1 ' ' - luuii 1113, anu tut; ptupiC 8 init'f ests have been given consideration. In view of the above facts, we are in favor of releasing the rail road from the agreement to run the train couit weeks and first Mondays. The people have not given the road the passenger business implied in the contract. The road should be released.
