MACON PEOPLE TRYING
TO HURT OER TRADE
The morning train oot of Athens to
Macon over the Oentralof Georgia rail
way will be discontinued today, and the
haziness m^n of Macon are very much
displeased.
At a meeting of the Macon Chamber
of Commerce held Thnrsday afternoon
irsolutions were adopted asking the
officials of the Central railway to leave
this train on for two weeks In order to
allow a conference between representa
tives of the railroad and the Chamber
of C. rnraerce.
Tae resolutions indicate that an * (Tort
w ill be made to have the schedule of the
train now leaving Athens at 3:45 p. m.
and arriving at 12 :30 p. m., changed bj
ns to pat this train in Macon during the
looming and let it leave there tor Ath
ens in the afternoon, in the eveut the
other train cannot be continued.
1: is now op to the Athens Obambei
of Commerce to assist in having the ear
ly morning train out of Athens con
tinued, if possible and to protect our
trade in the territory South of us, by
1 r. veDting any interference with the
fechtdnle of the train now arriving in
Athens about midday
The Banner is hopefnl that the Cnum
ber of Commerce will take this matter
np at once.
The recolntions adopted by the Macon
Chamber of Commerce are as follows :
“Whereas, We ore advised through
the public press that the management of
the Central of Georgia Railway Com-
p my has decided to disoontinne on San-
dry next, 28th instant, one of the two
passenger trains operated daily each
way upon the Macon and Northern, or
Macon and Athens division, of said rail
way, and known in the schedule of seid
railway as Trains Nos. IS and 10. And
“Whereas, We b»licVo said tr-ius
have come to he almost a necessity to
the patrons of said railway living within
the radius of Macon’s traveling territory,
and also of vital ititeri&t to the moi-
chants and other business men of this
c.tj as furnUhing a large amount of
business they wrrnld not otherwise get;
and
“Whereas, The schedule of the train
that is proposed to leave in operation
between Macon and Athens is such as
to be practically of no value to patrons
of said road wishing to do their trading
in Macon ; and
“Whereas, We are fnlly persuaded
that it is no part c f the purpose of the
management of said railway to operate
its trains to the detriment either of i*s
patrons living in the territory adj -.cent
to Macon, or of the best interests of the
business men of the city of Macon
Therefore, he it
“Unsolved, That we respectfully but
earnestly r, quest the management of
said Central of Georgia Railway to re
consider, if pos ible, its action lock n ;
to the discontinuance of said train, or if
such recommendation cannot be agreed
to, that the order of discontinuance be
postponed for a period of two weeks, or
some shorter time if need be, in order
that a conference may be held between
representatives of this body and repre
sentatives of said Central of Georgia
Railway Company, in order to ascertain
whether or not some plan may be ar-_
rived at for making good any loss now
accruing to said railroad company by
means of operating said trains, or if no
