BETTER SOIEDULES WANTED. The Executive Committee of the Traf flo Association Issues an Ad dress. There was a meeting held in Co lumbia on Friday of the scliedule committee of the South Carolina Traf fie Association, says the Columbia corespondence o 'The News aiid Cour ier. This specitil meeting consisted of represelitatives of the various coml mittees on sehedules appointed at tle Greenville meetini.g of the Associatioii. The varions connulittees and the board were represetted by President Lewis W. Parker, Mayor R. c1oodwyn R-hett. Mr. .1. A. Black, Mr. R. E. Lityoni, (,I' Aiiitrs1mn ; Mfr. E. I T. Caflin,. of Coluiibial, Secretar Fzy it1z Hugh McMaster, Angust Kohii, aid WN". .T. Thackstoll, of (reenville. Each of thiie iiportant commnittees were represented. The conmittee bad a great number iof propositions subt mitted, but it decided that it did not Care to go too much into details just at. this time. The committee agreed upon the general proposition that it. wants Charleston recognized as the initial point for the startimiv of trains on the Routheitni, and that trains starting af Charleston should be made through trainls and1(1 Iinl directly into the Piedmont and other sections, and in the same way froim the up-country through to Charleston. What the comnillee is particularly anxious to get is a train over the Soulth.oirn R41Iway to frun between Chl1Weston an1d the up-coun ry, so as to leave Charleston at or about. 3 o'(lock p. Iml., and run through to Columbia and thence to Spartanburg, Greenville. Anderson and other points, and that this train on the return trip should leave Greenville at about 6 o'clock and Spartanburg and Ander son at corresponding times and arrive in Columbia at about 11 o'clock. Seh a train, it i5 urged, would give busi ness men a chance to attend to affairs in Charleston and then get back to the Piedmont section on the same day. . Another connection for which the Traffic Association will press will be that train 15, now leaving Charleston at. 3.20 a. 111., make connection at Columbia with train 30, which runs between Cohubii and Charlotte in the morning. Mayor Rlet, of Char leston, presenlted! resolitions on this service, and the business people of Charleston are particularly anxious for this through connection between Charleston, Wininsboro, Chester and other points via the 3.20 a. In. train. The commit(ec also iicted favorably on the proposition of Mr. Thaekston that the Southeri he asked Io operate on the air line, the secot.d section of No 36 to be run about wo aid a half hours after the first section. Mr. Thackstoii thinks that such an experiment might be tried, and the plan is to hiave suchb t rain r'un ex peri mentally.

The address of thle execut ive comn mittee stating the purposes5c and sco4pe of the Association was read to the committee, and is as follows: Executive Oommittee's Address. To the citizens of the State of South Carolina hoards of t rade, cham hers of commerce .within such State, municipal anid other corporations in terested in the subject of raP road traffic within the State of South Car (lina: At a meeting in Greenville on May 29th last, composed of r'epresenltat ives ffom varions boards of trade andl communities inuterested in the sub ject, of railroad traffic in South Caro lina, an organization known as the linajwas -fenigband officers were. elected assindfcated-in.the heading of this article. This meeting was repres '.entative of many interests and many communities who were vitally- inter ested in the'Esubject of traffic, and ~ho sorely felt the conditions under which we are nowv suffering in this State. Wer can justly claim that in the past * few years this *state has greatly in creased in prosperity and with this increase has, been the consequent im ceae of railroad traffic, both pas senger and freight. According to the admiosions of officers of the rail roads, this increase is equivalent in many cases to more than 100 per cent in the past five years. Notwithstand ing this, during such time the rail roads have done practically nothing to increase factilities of travel, but on the eontrary have in mniuy instan ces allowed their rolling stock and road bed to deterioal. and in some in stanices to )eCoie' Isitively (an1 igel ois io travel; they have hei*i appal' ently inldifferenit I about compliance Wi laws of thli;is state an1d to rules of' tIhle railroad conilnissioln, re. ting (4o thlie leigthi of timle to Ie eIuinisued inl Ohe t;iisportation of freight ; lhey have beent erinally as inidifferenit to tHe ('41 liliale witi 1heir iwi scldi1 Ic., o111 hav with1inl revvenl year s donle little ((I incrlease th( clit IHIIi es fir Itra 11velI whiv]h arIe n hwjutified Iy thlie inereased travel. Apparralt ly no interest is felt in an't no atten tion given to loical travel and traffic. which is to a fg-reai degree the remiu nerative part of the traffic of the railroads, and in which the increase' during the past few years has beeu probably greatest. It would seen 11w dll t it beenmu absolutely necessary for the citi zens of thlie I.tate to uiite in order to make dern-ls upon thei railroad, whih, 'whist reasonable, are1 neces saIly to tIle interests od th peIople %if tlhe State, and w IIIIst piu urslves in position to enforce thee (allind)(s Forl this oi 1 ose tle .Ilaization of the Traie Association of Soutil C:I I'liut tas been made.

It is an impossibi lity for one from such a section of the State to. go to Columbia on Buisiless taking any time witlioit being awaY from his home two nightsn1111d from his place of business practically two days. Like Conditions prevail with refer enlce to travel between other sections of the State and Columbia, as also with reference to the travel to Char lestoii. For further illustration: On the lail line of the Southern Railway, if citizens south of Greenville or Spart anburg or other towns similarly situated desi e to visit these towiis. thmiugh the distance be only a few miles, it cannot be done by railroad :t.ravel without its being necessani'N either to leave home before daylight or to retulrn in the early hours of the AWW.

Even in such cases, a traveller de. siring to go, say from Greenville to Spartanburg, is depende'it upon the schedules of . trains traveling 1,00( miles, and with the irregularity of schedules which has prevailed in re. Cent years, this condition has now beelie unbearable. It. is propose by this Association, therefore, to end(lealvor to secure from ithe railroads better facilities fou local travel, andlo to seelre at recognition of the general view that there should be local trains for local travel.
