LETTER FROM W. B.
VEAZEY IN REGARD
TO G. M. RAILROAD
To the Citizens of Winder and Vicinity.
You have, no doubt, rend the articles
published in the Athens papers recent
ly, and quoted or commented on by the
different papers along the line of road
in regard to scrapping or discontinuing
operation of the Gainesville Midland
Railway.
The Athens papers called on the
Athens Chamber of Commerce to make
every effort to prevent such a thing
being done, the Idea being to use every
legal method.
In response to these articles, I ad
dressed an open letter to the Athens
Chamber of Commerce, indicating to
them how they could very easily ac
complish their purpose with little or
no effort on their part, and without
any expense to them ns individual bus
iness men. and for your information,
I quote my letter herewith:
Chamber of Commerce,
Athens. (sa.
Gentlemen: —
You have read the articles In the
Athens Manner of December 22 and 22
in regard to scrapping the Gainesville
Midland Railway, which seem to have
originated with Col. T. J. Shackelford,
and commented on at length by Mr.
T,arr.v Gantt, and perhaps you have
given the matter some consideration in
your meetings, as erne of the articles
contained the following: ‘Our Cham
ber of Commerce ought to meet and
discuss tliis matter, and then take steps
to prevent the scrapping of the Gaines
ville Midland,’ etc.
As one of the Receivers of the Gaines
ville Midland Railway, 1 frankly state
to you that the situation is bad, Imt I
do not at this time consider conditions
so bad that they cannot bo corrected,
or even relieved entirely by your body,
or through you, to such an extent as
would not only prevent the scrapping of
the road, but put it on its feet, enable
it to secure first-class facilities, give
first-class service, and produce earn
ings that would restore the road to its
owners and make it a pleasure and a
profit: to them to continue operations
and serve the good people in its section
which is the ts'st in Georgia.
1 would not have addressed you di
rectly in this matter hut for the fact
that it s<s‘ins to have been, in a way,
laid on your shoulders. There isn't
any question, even in these dull times,
but that there is ample traffic moving
Into and out of Athens, if divided so
as to give the Gainesville Midland its
full share, together with its full share
of traffic from other points served by
the road, to make it an interesting
proposition, and a paying investment,
and put it in position to furnish ser
vice that would he of increased value
to its patrons. The road is not now,
nor has it ever been able to secure its
full share of patronage at Ath ns. You
are business men, and can decide the
easiest way in the world to save the
road. *
We are in position to handle carload
traffic in and out of Athens through
the Gainesville Gateway with the
Southern Ry„ and through the Monroe
gateway with the Georgia it. It. and if
veil business men will route your traf-
fic so as to patronize these routes, you
will not find any perceptible difference
In the handling of it, the traffic being
placed at your places of delivery with
out any additional exiiense to you. 'lbis
is what the road needs, and you are
In position to do it, and this, 1 leave
to your fair-mindedness, is so much
better than the idea which seems to
have bet'll thrown out in the Haulier
articles, to tight through legal proctvd
lngs the discontinuance of a money
losing proposition. You might suc
ceed in your efforts to do this, hut what
would you have after all? It would
still he a question of traffic to keep it
going.
This seems to me to he fair, what
are you willing to do?
The same conditions apply at other
points, but in not so large a degree,
however, we find it hard to get our
people to understand the value of the
Gainesville to the section it serves.
Some people seem to feel that the
road lias been running a great many
years, and is going to continue, re
gardless of anything they may do. and
for tliai reason, do not give the matter
serious thought.
As stated above, what the road m ods
Is traffic to make it go. and there is
ample traffic to be had in the territory
served by it even now, to make it pay.
In addition t a the transportation
service rendered by the road, something
like 1i200.000.00 is paid out annually in
tliis vicinity in wages. cross tics and
other supplies, all of which is distrib
uted to merchants, banks, industries,
etc., along the line of road. Take the
money actually spent In this section by
the road monthly or annually away,
in addition to the transportation ser
vice, and you will find quite a change
in your business conditions. The haul
ing of passengers by automobiles, and
the bundling of freight by trucks will

you you get the same service.
