Aware of the travel, I thought nothing of this and took my seat In the waiting room. At 7 o'clock I drifted back to tho corner where the bulletin bourd was located to sea what was the matter' with my train. ' It was then posted 60 minutes late. I sat this out and then looked again. It was then one hour and 30 minutes late. I give you my word that J walked around that station for six hours, waiting for that blasted train to come. At no Uine did tire bulletin board Indicate that Its or , rtv wa n,or, ,nttn , noiir off n(j everyone whs loath to leave for fear that thu train might come.

With exclusive control of the wire's there Is never a moment when tho officials do not know where the several trains ure. No. Ill last night was way down In South Carolina when the man marked It up 30 minutes late. There should be a public cry raised for enforcing the law as t the posting of trains." Y. V. V. A. Notea.

When a North Carolina town gots large enough to print such a paper as that It la a sure sign that the town Is growing and prospering.

We ire glad to note that North Caro linians have stich a paper to support. Long live The Observer. Rocking ham Anglo-Suxon.
