WANT THIS REMEDIED TOO. Patron? of \. C. L. Wnnl Rail Placed Before Ticket Window To Facilitate Purchase of Tickets. From The Dally Item, August 16. Now that the lack of sufficient pas ssenger accommodations on the Greenville train has been remedied, extra coaches being added to this train, at this point, nearly every day. the patrons of the Cosal Line are re? newing tin ir complaints about the present conditions existing in regoi'd to the ticket window. As it is now. the ticket window has no rail in front of it to compel the people to purchase their tlcke'ts with any system; so that, especially when there || a crowd, which Is nearly every day, everyone rushes up to be served at the same time, each one asking for a ticket to a different point, with the result that no one is served with any dispatch, besides the incon? venience caused by having to "scramble if you want to get there." This morning there was such a large crowd struggling for a place at the ticket window that one or two trains had to be held until passengers could procure tickets; and this crowd could no dobut have been served In half the time, if there had been a rail before the window, as there i* in most other cities.
