It is In prosperous times that we

well politically. Out admitting, that
there are wrongs to be righted and

better that we be;calm and Arm In
our action. It la dangerous to the

ANNOYANCE TO TRAVELERS.
In Justice to Its patrons the Atlan,
tic'Coast Line ought to Improve its
rolling .stock between Uomasvllle
and Albany. The equipment-la in
such a condition as to'make travel
ing on that branch a v^ry uncertain
matter. Not once, but a hajf doxen
times during the last fnw weeks, the
train due to leave heig at t:26 in
the morning b$a been delayed from
one to throe hours on account of
; the engine breaking down. The
word engine la used by v courtesy.
It was an engine, once, s
vThla la very annoying to travel
ers. It causes a waste of time,'
the depot, and makes them miss their
connections at Albany. And there
Is no excuse for It. The Coast Line
Is amply able to purcha^new'eqd!^
ment. The ears on the road are old,
dirty and uncomfortable, and it la
adding Insult to injury to make the
people travel In them- Even this
would be forgiven If the service were
reliable. Folka will travel on a

they want to go, at the time they'
want to go.
