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

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-)

"GAY ATLANTIC CITY" ?
i
ioon to Be Presented Here by Popular
Musical Comedy Company.
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.

>ell boy, was a show himself,
