Each and every depot, flag stop, station, office and agency, now maintained, conducted or used in South Carolina by any railroad, express or telegraph company doing business in this State, for the transaction of business with the public is hereby formally established and located at the point and on the premises where the same is now being so maintained and conducted. No such depot, flag stop, station, office or agency, as aforesaid, now established, or that hereafter may be established, pursuant to orders made by the Commission, or voluntarily by such company, or otherwise, shall be closed, removed, suspended, discontinued or abolished without authority granted by the Public Service Commission. Written application shall be made to the Public Service Commission for authority to post notice to the public setting forth the fact that thirty days from date of said notice application for such closing, removal, suspension, discontinuance or abolition will be made to the Public Service Commission. Said notice to the public shall be posted in a conspicuous place at or near such depot, flag stop, station, office or agency, for not less than thirty (30) days, and a copy of such notice sent to the Public Service Commission. At the expiration of that time, unless protest has been received from the public by the Public Service Commission and the company so notified, then formal application may be made to the Public Service Commission for authority to close, remove, suspend, discontinue or abolish such depot, flag stop, station, office or agency as the case may be. Should protest be received, the Public Service Commission will notify the company involved, who may, if desired, ask for a formal hearing in the matter, and the Commission may order such hearing if, in its judgment, it is necessary.
