Double Daily Service On C. & L.
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,

is this service.?Pageland Journal.
