jjOME EOITIOfI VOLUME XIX. No. 102. 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 GRAND JURY FOR THE IPI TERM Judge Hammond Drew Jury for Appearance on the 20th of April, Which Will Be Monday Week.

A. and Conference For Education in South. Louisville, Ky A four-day session of the conference for education in the south and the convention of the South ern Educational .Association closed here Friday with the election of offi cers. J. Y. Joyner, of Raleigh, N. was elected president of both organ izations. which have been meeting here jointly. The educational associa tion todav’ also approved a resolution for consolidation with the Conference for Education in the South, passed by the conference last night. Other Officers.

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. Cordially yours, PROGRAM AND INVITA TION COMMITTEE. ington, D.

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.
