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.

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*..*

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.
Notice of Tax Executions
Unless all town taxes are paid
before next Tuesday, May 8,
1916 executions will issue against
the property taxed.

Monroe Banker Hurt.
Monroe, April 30.?Mr. D. A.
Houston, cashier of the First
National Bank, is able to be up
from his bed.
