Parker, president of the South Carolina Traffic Association, with other directors, had a conference with some of the officials of the South ern Railway in Washlnuton last Fri day, as to extra passenger trains, etc. They were well received and got the promise of an extra passenger train between 12 and 36 north in the morning and 11 and 35 south in the evening This train proposes to start, from Toccoa, Ga., run elttv-r to Blacks burg or Charlotte an.l return every day. and will be put on as soon as s^hedu'es can be arranged, and will make the trip entirely in the day time, except possibly it will reach Toccoa on its return early in the night. This train will he very convenient for the travelin- public. In this connection the following Washington special to the Charlotte Observer is interesting: Washington. Oct. 14.—As told in The Observer yesterday the placing on of an extra train on the Atlanta division of the Southern Railway to run between Charlotte and Toccoa. Ga.. as the result of the recent con ference between members of tne Traffic Association of South Carolina and the railroad officials, will add much to the industrial activity of Charlotte and the towns along the line. F. H. McMaster, of Columbia, a member of the association, who was in the party here a day or two ago. in discussing the matter with The Ob server’s correspondent that the opera tion of the new train which has been offered by H. R. Spencer, of the Southern Railway, to run between the places named will add materially to the business of 'Iharlotte and points along the line. “The puttip" on of this new train.” said Mr. McMaster, “will not only be of great benefit to Greenville, Spartanburg and other places in South Carolina through which it will pass, but will, in my opinion, add largely to the business of Charlotte and possibly of Toccoa. the other end of the line. Of course it will be some days before it will be operated, but 1 presume that a schedule satisfactory to all the places along the line wid, if possible be op en-tori and maintained. “The running of this train will not only create more business,” continued Mr. McMaster, "but will tend largely to lessen the congestion of traffic, which at times is very annoying.” Mr. Porter’s Work. The Sunday school workers of Gaff ney were delighted with the visit of Rev. Mr. Porter, field secretary of the Presbyteriafi church. He came Fri day and gave a lecture Friday night, advancing maiden ideas as to the con ducting of the Sunday school, Sun day morning he occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church and preached a forceful sermon. Sunday afternoon he lectured again, and Sun day night preached, his subiect be ing “The Boy.” He understands the l)ov and intelligently conveys this un derstanding to his hearers. Among other things he said: “I have known a father to give more time to the training of a pointer dog than to the training of his boy. The mother who turns her son over to the training of a godless servant and goes automo- biling with a poodle dog is beneath the notice of the dog.” He illustrated his sermon bv drawings on the black board -He likened the boy to either dynamite or a dynamo. He was either an agency for mischief or an agency for usefulness. light and happiness. It is a safe predict icto that no other man who has ever visited Gaffney so completely captivated his audience by his plain but forceful preaching Death of Mr. Kenneth Brown. Mr. Kenneth Brow / HT / a former resi dent of Gaffney, but lately residing in Spartanburg, died in that citv Friday night. The remains were brought to Gaffney Sunday and the interment took place .at Okland cemetery Sun day. The funeral service was con ducted bv ’ Rev. S. B. Harper, of the Buford Street Methodist church. The funeral was largely attended by rel atives and friends of the deceased. Mr. Brown was fifty-one years of age. H wag a member of the Methodist church. He Is survived by a wife and six children. yi . PISO ’St CD R E FOR 111 CtiRls WHIM All US( MIlS. ‘ ( Best Cuu<tti Hyrup. TmimGuckI. u*e la time, “old by dragging. •mtGONSiUM PTION yi % Death of Mr*.

The funeral service was held yesterday at 11 o’clock at Providence church. Fine Business. Saturday was a fine business day for our merchants and bankers. Large quantities of cotton were brought in and sold at remunerative prices and the farmers were busy making pur chases. paying debts and depositing money in the banl:-.

They rare hard workers and we note with pleas ure their prosperity and trust it will continue to increase from year to year.
