TUAT UNION DEPOT. Much Talk and Nothing Done-O., N, & L. Asked to Build-South em to Take its Convenience. The 0., N. & L. railroad is request ed to build a passenger station on the i north side of the railroad tracks at the junction on 0al4we11-street. The Southern railway is requested to unite at this place in a union station whenever in the judgment of the Southern railway' it is desirable for that road to do so. This is.substantially the action of the meeting which was held yester day in the rooms of the chamber of commerce with representatives of the Southern railway, the railroad com missioners and the citizens of New berry. The attorneys of the two rail roads present had such action taken as they thought best for the interest of their roa(s and the action taken will be iii effect nothing done, and the depot situation at Newberry will re main practically as it has been for st.me time. Of course this action will now relieve Mr. Childs of the rule, which had been issued on him by the railroad commission. If the railroad commission can determine from the action of the meeting yesterday what the people of Newberry want, they are wise men. Instead of a union do )ot, if the action means anything, it means that tile two depots must be separated andl that. we canl have a union depot whenever in the judg ment of the Southern raihvay its present passenger facilities are inad equate. There were lpe4ent the three rail-. road commissiole rs, Messrs. Caugh man, K'arle and Sullivan, and Messrs. Simpson, Bishop anld McLean, repre senting the Southern, together with its local attorneys, Messrs. George Johnstone and 0. L. Schunpert; and Mr. Horton. of the C., N. & L., and its attorney, Mr. Cole. L. Blease. Mayor Browi called the meeting to order an(1 stated the objeet to be to consider the (1e)ot situation at New herry. Mr. B. L. Cauginiman, of the coi Iissiol, stated t1hat somle ti eic last year. after eoisultii with the citi zens of Newherry, it was decided that t the (.. N. &. N. should chanigc its I traks and that umbrella sheds should , he built and tle preselt passenger st ation of the Southern used as the n union station. After this' had been t la-ureed upon, letters were received from the citizens of Newberry indi eating that somethinig else would be t better, and that the matter in conse t quence of in this apparent division among the people had been held .up and that this meeting was called at Newberry to determine just what the people wanted. Mr. John H. Earle, of the commis sion, stated that time railroad com mission had ordered Mir. Childs to de St lie work agreed1 upon, and he not laoving obeyed, the matter was turned over to the attorney general. Mayor Brown said that lie had gone .to Columbia to see Mr. Childs in re gard to the matter and some of the e citizens wantedl a change from the .first agreement as to umbrella sheds - and1( Mr. Childs stated that lie would I give one thousand dollars towards moving the p)resenit station of the Southern or towards the erection of embrella sheds. - Mr. Ulease stated1 that Mr. Childs stand(s ready to move the dlepot of the -Southierni aeross Pratt street, or to 3 build thle sheds or to contribute one thousand dollars for either p)urpose. Mr. Chiilds also. stands ready, said Mr. B lleasie, to pay one-Ihalf of the cost of i io stat ion to.be built at the foot of Caldwell street. D)r. W. E. Pelham moved that any p)rop)ositionI look(ingi to umbrella sheds would 1)e unsatisfactory to this coin nmnity and1( that a nion dlepot was wanted. MNr. George .Johinstone said that -t his is rather aii imp)ortant meeting and there should be the fullest (is cussion. Hie said we could( not ex-. p)eet or~ require the railroads to be constantly putting upl extensive and permanenit buildings that are not to be permanent. HIe said it wvas only a short time ago that we asked the Sout horn rail way to- build a dlepot, anid now we wanitedl them -to build another. He thought that we should determine where we would- piefer the permanent depot to he and that must be determined bly cireumstances and environmenits. H-e felt sure that the prmesenit location was not the proper p)lace for the permanent location of a union depot and argued that it should be built at some place away from the freight depots and suggest ed that the way to make a beginning looking to 'a union depot in the fu ture was to ask the C., N. & L. to build its passenger depot on the north side of the trackcs in Caldwell street. Mr. E. H. Aull stated that some Iyears ago a committee front the board Iof trade and the city concil had met with the i'ailroad emmistOPOW and it had been agreed that Mr Ohilds should change his track as he had I aone, and that for the present um brella sheds should be erected and both railroads use the present pas senger station of the Southern. Lat er the suggestion was made .by .some e of the citizens that in place of um- I brella sheds, it would lie better to y move the building belonging to the b Southern, to the north side of Pjatt street, with either end extending to r the tracks of the Southern and C., N. a & L., which would obviate the neces- g sity of the sheds. On account of these suggestions, the matter has been held t up, and as lie understood it, this e meeting was to determine ivhich one of these plans would be adopted. c Mr. E. M. Evans moved thaft it was c the sense of the meeting that a union depot be built at the junction of the ( two roads in Caldwell street. . Mr. Simpson, the superintendent, of this division of the Southern, said that his road had always tried to : comply with the wishes of the people and the railroad commission. That they had tried to do everything that they could. That the present depot of the Southern at Newberry was good enough for any town like New berry, that it would cost fifteen or twenty thousand dollars to fill up under the trestle, which would be necessary in case the present depot was moved across Pratt street. That in his judgment the present depot was sufficiently large, and he did not . see any necessity for any improve ment. Mr. L. W. Floyd said that the pro Zress of the town inl the last fiveyears had been very marked and that in his judgnent, the depot. should be moved from where it is an( a union station buil it tsonie other place, which would be in keepini with tile growth and progress of the community. Mr. A. T. Brown said that lie knew of his own knowledge that there was great eongestion on1 accouti of lack of space at the present site and it would be "impossible to put a. union station there that would be accepta ble and convenient to the traveling public. Mr. Z. Z . Wrihlit said hie Would like to know how we were to get a union stitionl. Can we ask the Southern railway to do away with its present building, which has been there for only a short time? He was in favor ot a union station and admitted (hat1 there was not room enough at the present location to build it, but he thought we could not get one at once. That it would be better to have a temporary arrangement and put ip a union- station later. Dr. W. E. Pelham was satisfied that the conditions were not now what they were when this station was built and that tile growth of the communi ty deserves better facilities. Mr. 0. L. Schumpert read the let ter of the chairman of the railroad commIliSsion calling this meeting, and as stated in that letter, it was to consider the dlepot situation at New berry. He said that we had been occupying the present depot of the Southern for only six years. and that we must deal fairly and justly with the railroad, and it would not be fair or just to require them to pull dowvn this station and go to the expense of building another. He did not think it would suit anybody to hlave thle dec pot moved to tile north side of Pratt steet. We determined two or three yeais ago to put iup shleds, nowv we were talking ab)out som'ethling else. We were al togethler too changeable. He agreed to thle proposition that the union dlepot should be at the foot of Caldwell street, but hle did nlot thlink it would be just or right to require he Southern railway to go to that (xpenise at this time. Mi. A. T. Brown said that the town hbus almost doubled itself in flyc years uand lhe thought it but just that we should have a union station. Mr. George Johnstone thlen offered thec following~ resolution: Resolved, That the C., N. & L. rail road be required to build an adequate dtepot on the north side of the rail roadh tracks at the foot of Caldwvell street. Resovled further, That the South ern railwvay be reqhuested to move its dep)ot, the two depots making a union station, to that place whenever it needed further~ passenger accommo dat ions. Mr. John H. Wicker said that the Southern railway had done every thling that it had been asked, and it wa~s up to Mr. Childs to do something. HIe was opposed to the uni'on .station at the foot. of Caldwell street. Mr.. J. H. Earle, of the railroad commission, said that ho wvas,glad to hear this discussi-on of the question. That in conformity to the request of a committee from the citizens of New.. berry, the~tracks had been built .by tIle C., N. & L. as ordered. That the shedls had not been built and that they had been unable ~.to get Mr. S~QO PIuAuyTODAY. .he Z*lect,1i o r Probate Judge. S. S. ounnivgham- a8d F. M; Schumpert 0andidates.
