Mr. Editor: I notice the Southern Railroad people have rotten busy sad "swooped" down on Concord and Bak ed the good eUisena of our town to sign a petition in order that tbey may be relieved of opening another window in their office for tb aeeommodatioa of the traveling public, and I under- Lund a number signed thi petition, in consideration that a baggage maa be employed to see that our trunks got off on timeor in other words, to r ieve th ticket agent. That sounds good, but from my observations that will not meet th ease. On most of tb day train it ia very difficult to get a ticket befon th arrival of the train unless yon take a very early start. I think whan th Legislature passed th law it certainly intended that a town of 9000 people ahould hav some accommodations, and that two, windows for a place th' sis of Consort would not be too many even if w an to b honored with a bag gag man. One of th rule of the railroad i that you must show your ticket befon th th baggage ia cheeked, and if this rule is to be en forced, then two windows an neces sary if w do have some on to cheek our baggage. The ones who signed thia petition I am sun have good in tentions, but, gentlemen, my observa tion bas been not to sign petitions to relieve railroads until you an re lieved. As we ar on railroads, let's con tinue a little further. Think of such a station for a town like ours. When will it be better t Just as soon as the people rise up and go befon the Cor poration Commission and demand de cent accommodations. This is th way in Which most of th depot have been built in this State. -Another thing, we an being badly - treated s to through train accommodations. Take for instance train No.' 43 which ar abont 0:35 n; n. Tf vnn m omul rfc. .ty '-iaV i r Wondt Greensboro, yod an permitted to get otT at Concord. That is very good. However, should no one be on that train east of Greensboro, and yon an wanting to go to Atlanta, th train doea not stop. You an asked to take No. 35 an hour earlier and this puts yon in Atlanta at 5 a. m. Of course, yon must be aa early riser and crawl out of yonr berth about 4 :30 a. m., or you will be taken to Birming ham or New Orleans. ; Train No. 37 ibis is the finest train in ' the South a palae on wheels,, but you ar not allowed to take if at Concord for the South. If you want to ride on the vestibule yon must leave ben about 6 :25 a. m, go to Charlotte and wait- for this tram which arrives there at 10 o'clock. If yon an coming-from Chattanooga via Atlanta the vestibule is tbe first train leaving Atlanta after the morning train from Chattanooga. You an told that you cannot take- this delightful train if you an to go to Concord, but then la a train on hour later you can take. Thai will land yon in Concord at 11:55 p. m, Now,; what impression do you sup pose this makes on a stranger coming to Concord t ..He, of course, can come to no other conclusion but that we are a little "way . station." I'm not "agin" railroads I'm for them, but t want them to give Concord decent treatment. Do w want a "Greater Concordi" If so, we shall have to have different treatment than we have had from th railroad. I want to see tb town In which I have lived sine a boy, and wbihe I love so much, treat ed in a way that will bring to it all the resources to which it ia entitled I hop we will hav a counter petition befon the Corporation Commission, or that the Railroad people will see their way to grant the accommoda tions without going befon the Com mission. . - - CITIZEN, AH Sainta Episcopal Church.
