AMERICUS, GA, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SEPTEMBER 23. 1922.
NEW TRADE TRAIN
INTO AMERICUS
FULLY ASSURED
■ i
Central Os Georgia Will Inaugu
rate New Passenger Service On
Columbus Division Oct. 2
A change in passenger sched
ules on the. Columbus division c»f I
the Central of Georgia railway,
, without interfering with present
freight schedules on the division,
was practically assured Americus
merchants by representatives of
the Central who were in the city 1
today.
i Ths announcement was made to <
The Times-Recorder by Tom Wade,
divi.-ion passenger agent, who was |
accompanied by ('. Baldwin, superin- i
tendent of the Columbus division, and j
S. C. Har’-is, district passenger ,
I agent-.
“We are anxious to give you folks
better passenger schedules between
Columbus and Americus,’’ Mr. Wade
said. “Now we are running mixed
| trains, that is a train made up of
freight and passenger ears. O,u
■ plans are t'o maintain the present
freight schedules, but to drop the
passenger cars.
“On October 2 we expect to begin
limning a train of passenger eats
i only, the train leaving Columbus at
8:45 a. in., arriving at Americus at
about 11 a. m. This train will then
leave Americps at about 3:15 p. m.,
arriving bacll in Columbus at about
5:15 p. m. 'Wn .se ehttngcs will make
it po.-mble fX the Ccht-ral to give
Americus urApoints between Ameri
eus'ahd Columbus bettor freight and
passenger service.
“The change must go before the
state Public Service commission for
it- permission before the change can
be made,’’ said Mr. Wade.
The change as announced by the-
Central representatives, will be id
the material advantage of Americus
merchants, and to all those on this
i division desiring to -visit Americus
for business or other purposes. It
means that the people of Buena Vis-'
ta, Ellaville, La Crosse Doyle, Put
nam and other points on the line can
leave home about !):30 in the morn
ing, at rive in Americus at 11 a. m.
Shop until 3:15 and arrive back home
before 4:30 or 5:00 p. ni. The trains
i will cover the distance very much
more rapidly than now, because no
freights will be taken on or put- off.
The handling of freights will be
i more efficient because of the fact
I that train crews will not be compelled
to care for the passenger service nor
to observe a close schedule.
The change is very much' to the
advantage of this entire section con
tingent to the Columbus division of
the Central of Georgia railway.
TRAIN RESTORED.-
The Seaboard Airline train from
Savannah to Ilelent, which was taken
off about July 1,. will be restored
■ today. The- service gives a train
-out of Savannah, and Helena morn-
'; ing and afternoon.

tion, the first session being specially
called in the spring of IJ/21. The
vVa. hington ennlereilee on limitation I
•of armament and bar Eastern ques- ,
tions, and the railroad and coal }
strikes, however, gave congrt-ss new ,
and unexpected pi-dblems to deal
with. The naval limitation and a
naif dozen other conference treaties

all congressional records for a sin
gle continuous legislative day,
through daily recesses without a
ingle adjournment, from April 20, to
August 2. The abortive effort for
senate cloture, still pending, and the
row over appointment of Nat Gold-
