That May Come Up Between the Cen
tral and R. & D.
Dame it imor has it that relations are
not the mo>t friendly in the world be
tween the Georgia Central and the Rich
mond and Danville, and at any mo
ment the Central is liable to make an
effort to cut off the R. & D. from the
terminal facilities of the Macon & Nor
thern depot.
This would necessitate the North
eastern using their old depot both for
fre'ght and passenger purposes.
Thepeople generally will not like
any such an arrargement and the re
fusal of the Central to allow the R. &
D. terminal facilities at theM. & N. de
pot and use of theM. & N. belt line
will not make any friends for that road.
Wh&t the people want is good accom
modations and less quarreling both
among men and railroads.
