THURSDAY, NOV. 25. 1909. ??j The Palmetto Limited. i The Coast Line's effort to make their fancy through train, the! "Palmetto Limited", do local work through this section is striKingly suggestive of trying to train a race horse to the plow at odd times. : The blooded racer is useless as a; plow animal and the uunatuiali exercise unfits him for the work1; to which he is really adapted. The "Palmetto Limited," al-j though-but a week old, has caused ' loud and vociferous complaint, among the local patrons of the1 ^ road. The tourists, for whose es- j pecial benefit the service was in-! < augurated, are no doubt equally i recalcitrant at having to stop at 1 every little station along the war,! so that the new train is suited to I, neither class of patrons. j ( The mail that should arrive here ! in the forenoon is delayed any- M where from one to five hours11 $ daily, because the train is never j on time. It is a notorious fact, that the uew train ha3 scarcely! made schedule time through this J / section a single trip since the day it was put on. In notable contrast the little;( . II "shoo-fly" which it displaced was, almost invariably 011 time aud the t schedule was about as convenient- ( ly arrauged, iu connection with 1 the other local train, as could be I desired. I The new train is an imposition ' C aud a hardship upon the local traveling public, and it should be x put squarely up to the railroad | officials that the people through a this section demand a better serv- I ice. Let them run as many fancy! r ! c tourist trains as they please, but! don't try to make people pay for s them who enjoy none of the lux- e uries of travel. The two classes a * of travelers are separate and dis- j tinct and the same conditions will! ^ not apply to both. Business and t pleasure, ever hostile to each oth- e er, cannot be made to travel tj- 3 gether long, even by way of the i luxurious "Palmetto Limited." a r a The "Palmetto Limited" seems to have an unlimited schedule. Ir 11 Nearly a Million in Deposits * \ As will be seen by the swoin a statements published this week, N Kmgstree's two banks, at the call of ^ the State bank examiner on No- c vember 16, showed deposits am- ' onnting to $482,000, in rouud numbers, while Lake Citv's two I banks followed closely with combin- * e<l deposits aggregating $413,000. ^ The Jfour banks in the two largest towns of our county thus show a grand total in deposits of $895,000. This is pretty nearly double the combined deposits of the same four institutions in September. With Greelyville and Scrantou to hear from, we may safely; -ne that there is new on do-) the banks of our county " million dollars, in rs.

Mr Willis appeared before the :urtain at the Colonial last light after the second act of '(lay Atlantic City," and anlounced that the sole intention )f his organization was to stir ip a good, hearty laugh on the Dart ot the audience. The pur- ! Dose was fully realized. The ludience was kept laughing ronstantly and it is a safe bet hat everybody got his money's vortli. It is true that these augh-evoking etforts were not ilways strictly according to Ioyle, and that the stringent . ules of absolute comedy were j iccasionally violated. The company contains about ixteen members, of whom elev>n are girls. They are remark ibly young girls, too.

I H-ir-r-r-T:-r-T^-rrrT:-r7r^r:^ A small sized race riot occured at Monarch Mills, in East Union about midnight Saturday night of last week. An all-night carousal in the negro quarter caused <nr-li !i (Iiv111 rb:itile white residents of the locality called on Deputy Sheriff McColl to enforce order. When the officer weiu to the scene of tiie disorder a number of white men accompanied him. All of them were unarmed except the officer. As they neared the place the negroes fired on them, wounding nine white men, none seriously, however. The officer returned the fire and it is thought that some of the negro rioters were hurt. Wlien re-inforcements arrived the house where the "festival"' was being held was broken open but all the merry throng had fled leaving a three-gallon jug of corn liquor about two-thirds full ou the hearth. The affair caused intense excitnient among tne white citizens of Union and vicinity. About 20 of the entombed miners at Cherrv, III., were rescued alive after being mourned as being dead by their friends. The work of removing the bodies is still going on, but no more of the men have been found alive and a^hope is abandoned.
