SOUTHERWS ]NEW SCHEDULB. Assistant General Passenger Agent In.. vestigating .Complatnts-What Supt. Welles Says. Mr. W. H. Tayloe, of Atlanta, the Southern railway's assistant general passenger agent, was in Newberry on Saturday investigat ing the results of the new schedule on his Columbia and Greenville division. Since the new schedule was put into effect there have been a number of complaints in the pub lic prints and elsewhere against the service. Mr. Tayloe took a trip over the line, stopping at Green wood and other places, to look in to these complaints and to get an expression of the sentiment of the people along the line in regard to the change. Anderson and Greenwood have been very severe in their condem nation of the ch.age. Mr. Tayloe - interviewed numbers of perions in these towns and found in each case that a majority preferred the new schedule. As is the case with Newberry he found that in nearly every instance the kicks were com ing from those who failed to get important mail as early in the (lay as when the old schedule was in effect. Mr.'Tayloe is a very pleasant gentleman and is one of the best railroadjmen the service. He and Superintendent Welles, of this di vision, were actuated in making the change by a sole desire for the greater[convenience of their pat rons. The change has brought about that greater convenience so far as the Newberry traveling public is concerned. As stated, the only kicking here is -is to th mails, and the commercial interests of the city and the convenience of the travel ing public should far outweigh a few hours' delay in getting the Columbia and Charleston mails. Every day since the new schedule was put into effect there have been people here trom Chappel and Saluda Old Town and Silver Street and points above who have hereto. fore been going to Greenwood and other points to do their trading. This is Newberry county trade and and ought to come to the county seat. Then when a man wants to go to Columbia he doesn't have to wait until 11:40 o'clock at night in order not to lose half of two days and a wvhole night. The trip to Columbia may now be madec in one (lay and wvit bthe greatest comn fort and convenience. Mr. Tayloe went from Newvberry to Columbia, where as a result possibly of his visit to points along the line, Superintendent WVelles has issued the following statement in regard to the schedule and the reasons why it wasI put into effect: "The train schedule formerly in effect on the Columbia and Green ville Road put all the trains carrying passengers, three in number, out of Columbia in the morning and into Greenville in the evening, and in the opposite direction they all arrived at Columbia in the after noon or eveniing. This is a little like the road wvhich rain all of its trains in one direct ion oine day and back the next. Tlhe night passen ger train was almost a dead1 traini east of Gree~nwood, and was little pat ron ized. "The present schedule giv'es a passenger three times a day, morn ing, noon and evening, from Co lumbia and divides the service so that it is not bunched as before. It also puts the newspapers from Charleston and Columbia into points between Alston and Green ville nearly as promptly, and on Sundays the old schedule is run. It is true that tl:o present schedule throws the United States mail, other than newspapers, on the noon train from Columbia, which causes a difference of five hoturs or more in theireceipt of this mail at the points above mentioned TIhis can e overcome by mail service on nixed trains 71 and 72, the former the Asheville passenger train, leaving Columbia at 7:io a. w. Phe question involved, if this inail service is not put on the miAed train in addition to the present mail service, is whether the convenience of the passengers shall be made secondary to the more prompt dispatch of the mails westward from Charleston 11md Columbia. "The figures obtained since the new schedule went into effect in dicate that the trains, as at present arranged, are more satisfactory to the traveling public than the old night train arriving in Columbla something after i o'clock in the morning. We understand that the Southern Railway management de sires to operate the schedule, which best suits the people along the line, and that it is willing to set back the trains now leaving Greenwood in the morning to a later hour to give passengers an opportunity to get breakfast before starting out, and further, that if after fair trial it shall appear to be the sense of the people concerned between Co lumbia and Greenville that the former schedule is more satisfactory there will be no objection to re storing that schedule. The cities of Columbia and Greenville would seem to be most interested in main taining the present schedule, and from present indications it is a question as to whether their inter ests in the matter shall or shall not predominate, as compared with towns in Anderson and Greenville counties below Greenville, which are now complaining because of late arrival of their mail from the eastern parts of the State. We understand the Southern will change schedule on January 12, and that this matter will be defi nite!y settled by that time.'
