CONGESTED RAILWAY TRAfflC.
Mr. ! inle\. tlu- new president ?>f
tlu- Southern railway, announces
the intention <>f arranging slower
schedules for the trains ?>f the system.
The purpose is to give such
schedules as the trains can make.
The trains of the S uithern in South
Carolina and other States have
come to he almost always late.
This has been brought about by the
wonderful increase of freight and
passenger traffic which has transpired
within the last few years.
This increase has been beyond
precedent and has found the railroads
unprepared.
The Southern's president rightly
concludes that slower schedules
will be preferable to the public if
they are reliable. The sum total
daily loss t<> business in South Carolina
alone from waiting on de
laved trains would mount up into
the thousands.
Another good thing slower
schedules will do on sonic of the
branch lines of which we know: it
will give a speed better adapted to
the poor condition in which these
tracks often are. I"nc|uestionably

g CHRISTMAS. I
^ S. I. B. ?
The birth of Christ draws near,
l-mm hill and over valley peal
forth the tidings: all earth is astir
with the joy of the approaching
event. Every Jewish heart is open
for Mis reception, for unto them a
King is to be born : every heart of
whatsoever clime is glad, for ,a
Savior is come. Earth with its
millions of voices proclaims the
glad news; the fields are jubilant
and the mountains clap their
hands. The advent!
W e are borne backward in our
I minds over the nineteen hundred
and six years that have gone
since Jesus came. With uncovered
heads we stand on Judean hills,
ibeneath eastern skies, side by side
with the shepherds of old. and
with them we await Tlis coming.
I.ike sweetest music fall the words
ot Mod's poets, the angels:
"There's a song in the air;
' There's a star in the sky;
There's a mother's sweet prayer
\ml a babe's low cry.
\ixl tin star rains it> fire
While flu- beautiful sing.
j|r 11ever i>i Bethlehem
f tallies a king."
AU.heaven is silent and the
world is still: then clearly, sweetly,
ring's forth the glad news: '"(ilory
to ( m 1 in tite highest, and on earth
peace. good will toward men : for
unto \ou i- born thi~ day in tile city
of David a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord." And it came to pass as
prophesied. Jesus was born; a Savior
came into the world.
There have been many significant
events in the world's history:
the batth of Marathon was one.
This wa - a decisive point in the history
of ihe national life of Clrccce.
Tin- t ireat Charter, when signed
by King John of F.ngland was another:
it meant the end of despotic
rule. The defeat of Napoleon at
Waterloo was yet another; by it
Lngland was freed from the
(threatened French rule. The discovery
ami settlement of America
meant much: the gaining of American
iildel irinli life Ci iiiiit i-d for even

Just why the jbit had to be
