The a Should it to The Reflector does not profess to know bow to run a railroad, but that does not debar us making now and then. Of course rail- road authorities usually conduct their roads to suit themselves, but as their business is with the traveling and ship ping public, it does look like it would be their desire, and make them more friends, to operate their roads a way that will accommodate and benefit largest number of people. Some months the 1.1.1 sent a petition, signed by nearly all the business men of Greenville, to the authorities of the Atlantic Coat Line asking them to put on a morning train from Parmele to or ii this impracticable to shorten the schedule of the and pas- train so that o r people could get their mail earlier in the evening. The replied to this, saying in substance that the hist request in petition was impracticable, as the pat- would not justify the incurred in operating the morning train asked for. As to the second re- quest they said they could shorten the schedule of the pres train with- out breaking connections that were of considerable importance to business in- along this portion of the line. Last week the writer had occasion to go off for a few days, and along the made it a point to closely observe the schedules connections of the trains, make some suggestions ac- First, we noticed that the schedule time between Kinston and Weldon, a distance of miles, is exactly tour hours, which is pretty slow running time for a well equipped road. Even on this schedule our train don at o'clock, just minutes ahead of the arrival any other train with which it has to connect. Thus it is seen that by having a little faster run- time and not this train reach Weldon so far ahead ether trains, the schedule going north could be shortened an hour the train allowed to leave ton that much later in the morning without breaking any connection. as we go along that the Washington and Ply- mouth branches occupy about the same position, and what applies to branch can apply to them also. Then again, in the afternoon our train is held at Weldon until o'clock, minutes after all other trains have departed, while it our train was to have Weldon soon after the arrival of the Seaboard train from the at o'clock, and connect at Halifax with the north bound Line train, there would be another saving in time. But the railroad people may argue that the most important connection for our evening train is with the Norfolk Carolina which passes Hobgood about Well, let us look at the schedule of that train a The morning reaches Norfolk at o'clock and on the return trip leaves at P. M giving hours in Norfolk. This is of principally to the people along the section of that road nearest to Norfolk who wish to go the c shopping. It be practically little or no inconvenience to those if their stay in Norfolk was shortened only one hour, and the train allowed to leave and reach Hobgood an hour connecting there with our train. This would permit our train Io come on much earlier and the change would prove a vast hem lit and convenience to the people of Kinston, Ayden, Greenville, Washington, Williamston, Scotland Neck and inter- mediate stations. Upon the whole the be- that the Coast Line authorities could, by making better running time the train and the suggestions herein relative to leaving time at Weldon and Norfolk, shorten the schedule on this road at least one hour each is leave Kinston an hour later in the morning and return hour sooner in the even- at the same time cot inter- in tire slightest with any other connections this has to make. The people would appreciate such a change. Bethel, N. C, Dec Robert Staton went to Tarboro, Wednesday. Rev. Albert Barnes returned from the conference Monday night.
