Not Possible to Operate Fast
> Trains if They Have to Stop
As Often As Other Trains
Only Protests Piled So Far Against Georgia Railroad Schedule
Plans Are Prom Certain Points Which Do Not Like to
Have Trains Dash By—Operate Fast Trains Without Stops
on Other Trunk Lines, So Why Not the Georgia?
The protests filed so far against the
proposed schedule change of the Geor
gia railroad are because trains 19 and
20 are not scheduled tosatop at cer
tain points. Union Point is objecting
to establishment of these trains if they
do not stop at that point. Similar
complains are made from other places
of like character.
Of course the whole object of the
schedule will be defeated if fast trains
were forced to stop at local points. It
is impossible to make the time and be
forced to flag at every few stations.
The situation on the Georgia Railroad
is not different from that on other
trunk lines in the country and fast
trains are operated with a very limit
ed number of stops.
For instance, the Congressional
Limited, on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
only stops at Raltimore and Philadel
phia between Washington and New
York, making three stops in 228 miles.
They run through the Capitol of New
Jersey without even hesitating and
pass throug Newark, N J., with a
A Home Coming Day For Grove
Church on the 26th of April
f ————————
Those Who Were in the Fellowship of That Church in Days
Gone By Are Invited to Return and Mingle With Friends
of Other Days.
The Baptist Church of Grovetown
Is named Grove Church, because it
was originally located in a large grove
oT oak and other kinds of trees. The
town of Grovetown secured its name
from the church and the church ex
isted a great many years before the
place was able to reach the dignity of
a town.
A great many of the best citizens of
Columbia County and this section of
the state have been members of old
Grove Church. In the adjoining cem
etery lie the remains of some of the
noblest men and women anywhere.
While it is true that the greater por
tion of them,
“Along the cool sequestered vale of
life.
Kept the noiseless tenor of their
way.”
Still they were brave spirits tried and
true in the community, men who did
valiant service for their Southland in
time of war, who were ever ready to
respond to the call of duty whether
in time of war or oT peace, citizens,
indeed, of which any community or
country might well be proud.
But this does not mean that all of
the real worth of the community is
interred in the cemetery close by.
Not by any means, for in that com
munity right now are some of the best
people in the world, patriotic, liberty
loving citizens who are worthy de
scendants of the fathers who are
peacefully sleeping in the necropolis

JOIN! EDUCATIONAL
MEETING HAS ENDED

Louisville, Ky A four-day session
of the conference for education in the
south and the convention of the South

here Friday with the election of offi
cers. J. Y. Joyner, of Raleigh, N.
was elected president of both organ

here jointly. The educational associa

for consolidation with the Conference

population of nearly one half million,
as fast as they turn the wheels.
On the A. & W. P. R. R. for instance,
between Atlanta and Mongomery, a
distance of 175 miles, trains 37 and 38
only stop four times. Only one stop is
made in the state of Alnhuma. and the
distance covered is 88 miles. The only
stop is Opelika, which is 22 miles from
West Point, (la., and 66 miles from
Montgomery.
Therefore, the Georgia R. R.. If they
establish fast train service must stop
only at points that are absolutely
necessary. If the commission forces
the Georgia to these local points,
as requested in a number of petitions,
the whole project will be abandoned,
and the Georgia R. R. will have to re
main a local line strictly. This is in
terference with Interstate Commerce
and greatly inconveniences a large
number of people who are anxious to
get somewhere, and as these towns are
provided with ample local trains, it is
unreasonable even to ask the through
trains to stop.
across the road. The fathers of the
present generation set good examples
for the most part, for their children
and let the adage be reversed and
say:
“The good that men do live after
them.
The evil oft is interred with their
bones.”
By precept and by example the fa
thers of the present generation taught
their sons to reverence God and be
manly men and womanly women, so
their lives are in a large measure re
flected in the lives of the present
membership of Grove Church.
But the point of this story is that
on April 26th there will be a home
coming day, and all who once held
fellowship in that church are invited
to return and mingle once more witn
the friends of other days.
The following invitation has been
sent out:
On Sunday, April 2fith, Grove Church
will celebrate her first “Home-Corn
ing Day,” and all who once held fel
lowship there are urged to come back
home, back to the old church on the
hill and sing again the dear familiar
songs and meet once more the firends
of other days.
Come and let us he glad together
as we worship in spirit and in truth
the God who has kept us through all
these years.

No Orangeburg Nominees
For the State Offices
Orangeburg, S. C. —lt appears as if
this section will not be represented
in the campaign for state offices this
year. Announcement comes from St.
Matthews that Col. J. A. Banks, sena
tor from Calhoun county, will not run
for lieutenant governor as was at one
time expected. Sometime ago Hon.
J. T. Liles, of this city, declared that
he would not run, after his name had
been mentioned several times as a
possible candidate.
Attorney General Peeples, of Barn
well, which is an adjoining county,
will offer for re-election, however, and
Hon. Carroll Simms, of the same coun
ty, has announced positively that ho
is in the race for governor. In fact,
Col. Simms was in this city ROmetime
ago and was apparently doing some
campaign work.
