In these days of travel and traffic the old time southern rail way conductor Is fast disappear ingnot that his heart has chang ed, trot that he is less willing to be pleasant and accomodating, but because in the hustle and bus tle of looking after the impatient multitudes that crowd the out go ing and incoming trains on the main line, he has no time for the old style courtesies which twenty fiveyoars ago were reckoned among the necessary qualifica tion .of a successful railroad man. - . We remember- and it was not so many years ago in the ooutn when but few women made a practice of traveling alone, and when they did, especially if they chanced to be young and good looking, the conductor felt that it waVpart of his business to see that they, were properly chapero ned. ' We recall a conversation with a Boston woman, then a teacher in one of the Raleigh schools, who said that on her Orst trip south she was at a loss to under stand the assiduous attentions of the' conductor. Had they been less respectful she would have. been suspicious, would have won dered if he had designs upon a young and . unprotected women from that intellectual center of culture and baked beans. But she soon learned to understand and epfireciate the little thought ful courtesies that made railroad travel through tho Southern states a real joy. But that day has passed. We have progressed. We are cosmo politan. We a r e up-to date. Babies travel alone these days and arrive at their destination without an accident or inconven ience. Oceassionally very occassio nal, you see on the Southern railwav a man with five or six gilt stripes on his sleeve and you recocrnizo in him one of theld guard -one of the type fast dis appearing, fie has time tor a smile and inquiries as to your health while looking at your tick- et and is never to busy to answer questions. Everybody who traveled twenty-five years ago on the Seaboard Air Line remembers Captain lim berlake a kind and fatherly man who "took charge'' of all the young women and old wpmen who traveled with him, and wno was the most popular railroad con ductor of his day. In striking contrast to this even- tempered and always courteous gentleman was another condnctor on the same line brosque, mo rose and apparently sour-souled. Everybody dreaded to ride with him and made it a point to avoid his train. . And yet he was not a bad hearted man. In fact he was a real diamond in the rough. It was known of him that he did many deeds of charity ia secret; that he was kind to his mother, and tnat he has been known many times to go down in his own poc- Wt tn mv the fare of a poor wo- mon'nr A. friorhtened child who had hoarded the train without monev enough to complete the lournev. One dnv a party oE young peo- Dle cot on the train at Henderson One of the girls remarked not knowing that he was in earshot: 't am certainly sorry that old Uan la nn today." She turned to see the conductor a grim an un attractive-bachelor past middle life looking straight inter her surprised face, It might have been that remark that brought him to himself micht have been that the cnti cism was just what he needed for true it is that critics are more often than otherwise our best friends.
