THE ATHJEKS. GEORGIAN: OCTOBER 16, 1877. .“*!S*rfcW #! -Relation to Athens, ,( i jfcom^icsted^ ( )/ * { f _ g»;»se that laid them. Mb. Editor: It ia a well known axiom, that the priraiples of justice are Jittle tedi- it because we see a similar case that will arise in the ih* distant future. Our growing _tbe ai * A clear cuticepfiou of this simple fact nn the ttfrfof the Rajli>»ad authorities would have, dictated an entirely different policy ou iheTr part -flV citizens motive, viz: self interest. But in plain view of this fact, and with the ;power to do so in their hands, i ot neutralizing the feeling agaiut 'T>wd, they liivi- adopted' the other, course and seeni to be trying by all tneane in their power to aggravate and increase the opposition of our citizens.' As we cannot charge the Georgia Rail road with a lack of business talent, we are forced to conclude that they are governed by a stranger motive than that of self interest, and that a blind thirst for revenge on our people, for withdrawal of patron a-e, has coused them t6 set aside their true interest. The immediate cause of this letter was the attempt made hy the Georgia Railroad a few days since to reduce Athens to a way station. For this is the plain English of Mr. Superinten dent •Johnson’s attempted discrinriua-. tion in freights against her in the meeting of railroad mauagers. Like the attempt to which we^ formerly attention, tliis.fdso, was failed the Northeastern Railroad, thus adding to the debt- which pur citizens owe that road. Such attempts as these can only result in intensifying, the antagonism now existing between our citizens and the Georgia Railroad. If a merchant wishes to attract cus tomers to hie store, it is manifestly his best plan to exteud them the largest amount of accomodation within his power—when the customers are se cured he will not allow n momentary sacrifice of his interest stand in the way of retaining them. Ail business men understand, aud practice this rule, and the fact of its universal adoption proves it to be a wise one. Bat the Georgia Railroad takes a different view of the matter. I*, says in effect to our people, here is our road, we want to carrv your freights, and as au inducement for you to give us your patronage we wiil do all we possibly can- with our large means and great influence to iqjure your city, we will do all we can to make you a way sta tion.. Our mighty Hercules will bare his brawny arms and strike blow after blow at your growing wholesale trade, nor will he relax his efforts until it is completely destroyed. The political ecououiist is satisfied with effects, he investigates the causes which produced them From the chain of cause and effect he dedaces rules for guidance in future cases of a similar nature. Retracing Outsteps then we find that, when busi ness revived after the war our city was left with an accumulation of capital which could not be profitably used. Under the old regime this surplus would have been invested in slave property. Uuder the new, this ave nue was closed and some other channel rnfist be found. Capital naturally turned to trade as the legitimate arena for its employment. At the very mil set it met an obstacle which appeared insurmountable. To maketradgjwof itablt it. was indispensably necessary that we should compete on equal terms with other cities. Here was the Geor gia Railroad's opportunity. If it had realized the situation it would have said to our people—start manufac tories, open wholesale stores, you are the natural market for Northeast .Georgia, although the Air Line Rail road may have temporarily diverted some of yonr trade from its natural channel; we will give you such freight rate as will enable you to com pete with other places and you will soon get it back again. It is our in terest to do this, every dollar you invest in this way will add to onr income as it will increase our carrying U railroad, now a mere speck on'bori- W/ wirf, ; if ihS* Georgia Railroad pursues its present policy, grow into a veritable reality.
