There has been some talk about a aotor car to be put on the C. & L. oad to carry passengers and mail and inke two round trips daily, starting om Pageland in the morning and reirnlng after the Seaoard trains run i the afternoon. Such a car would ot have to be very large, and it could e opearted by one or two men. It is lid that double daily service could ius be given cheaper than the present nsatisfaictory service. The present jrvice is unsatisfactory liecau.se only ne trip a day is made and because i is impossble to run on tme and do le work required of this train. The roposed motor car could be light, and Mil lor onnntrh fn nrrorrfodate the assengers who travel this way. Not nly would this be cheaper, but In ur Xlniou? I* would materially inrease the passenger receipts of the oad, by this method Pageland and the ther towns along the line would have ouch better mail service, which they leed and deserve. Every man who believes this Ca. ' rould benefit the service should write i letter or card at once to Mr. C. Lane, Jheraw, S. C., and urge him to give is this service.?Pageland Journal.
