As our people are deeply interested in
good and reliable railroad service,
The Timis-Recobdeb gives the
views of three prominent rail
road men, as reported by the Atlanta
Constitution, on the subject of the pro
posed reduction of the passenger rate to
two cents a mile:
Major John W. Green probably occu
pies the most independent position of
any railroad manager of tho Georgia
railroad, whleh Is owned jointly by the
Louisville A Nashville and the Central
of Georgia. He has this to say about
the two-cent rate:
“I hope that the Constitution will let
up on this two-cent rate. Our road, the
Georgia, is barely making expenses at
the present rate. We have a good, fast
line from Atlanta to Augusta, and also
from Augusta to Macon, Wo havo spent
a large amount of money to improve
our passenger service, and I assure you,
ns a man, that it barely pays expenses.
Now, if our rate is reduced oue-thlrd,
we will certainly lose money, and there
is but one thing left for us to do. Our
fast train service and some of our other
trains will havo to be taken off. The
people will have to suffer in conse
quence, because nobody can expect a
railroad to run at a loss, because it
would only be a short while until it ran
into the ground.
“I do not bother tile legislature and
the railroad commission unless it Is ab
solutely necessary to say something for
our protection. I recognize the right
that the commission has to cut our rates
wben they are in excess of what they
ought to bo. But there is a point where
it ought to stop. Now if Georgia wants
a line passenger service, with the finest
cars and best equipments, they must
give us time and opportunity to get It,
and I say to you that If this rate la cut
we havo nothing left to do but to meet
the cut by reducing our service, which
will result in slow trains and poor can,
for we can not possibly carry on tho im
provements that we now havo and pro
pose to make with a cut in theso rates.
“I think tho best way about such mat-
ten is to talk plain about it. I do not
believe that tbe legislature wants to em
barrass the railroads on this question,
and I hope that they will not pass any
such bill."
Hon. Patrick Calhoun, vice-president
of tbe Terminal system, says: “I do
think that the legislature ought not to
ontortain a proposition to reduce the
passenger fare. It will be a mistnko, and
there is no doubt about it. Wo havo a
vestibule train from Atlanta to Wash
ington, which Is as good as any train in
the United States. Wo are now running
that train at a loss—even at 3 cents a
mile. Cut tho rate one-third, and that
train goes off, so far as Georgia is con
cerned. It is just a matter of impossi
bility toficeep It on, and not only that,
but we will havo to take some other
trains off that wo now run. Tho popu
lation of Georgia Is not sufficient to jus
tify a two-cent rato. When it is, tho
people of Georgia will find tho railroads
ready to respond to a reduction. Tlioy
know just as well as anybody that If wo
could make more money by It, we would
do it. Wt cannot make more monoy,
and aro satisfied that we would lose.
Everything ought to bo kopt as It is
until the country is settled up until it
will justify a reduction.
I do not care to discuss the matter fur
ther than to say that to reduce the rato
further now will result in a poor sorvlco
on the part of the railroads. We had to
take some of the trqins off of the Central
that were not paying, even under tho
thrce-cent rate. We have placed good
cars on the Central railroad, and have a
good service from here to Savannah
This taking off of trains will have to bo
continued if the rate 1s reduced ono-
thlrd. I think that the Constitution, In
discussing the mstter, has not investi
gated it as closely as It generally docs
questions In which tbe public Is inter
ested. I am ready to go at any time be
fore any committee or the commission
and demonstrate what I state, that it
will not be for the Interest of the public
to make this reduction. We want to im
prove the passenger service. We want
to extend that vestibule train to New Or-
leana. We are preparing now to give a
vestibule service from Savannah to tbe
northwest, and hope t j present it this
winter unless we are interfered with by
some such legislation as is under discus
sion.”
Colonel J. W. Thomas, president of
the Nashville, Chattanooga A St. Louis
and the Western & Atlantic railroads,
says:
“It will be a great mistake to reduce
the pa>ssnger rate to 2 oents a mile. Ido
not care what people say about this pay-
on the Western A Atlantic. I ha
„ .mow that it did not pay. Jt it
we certainly would not have asked the

The 8 , A. A M. Road Completed to Mont
gomery, Alabama.
“The S., A. A M. road is now inside
the clt limits, and will soon be opened
for business. Track lias been laid up to
this side of Crlsby'i Park. The only
delay that the road experiences now Is
the location of Its track to enter tbe
Union desot. The officials of the new
rosd were here last week with a view of
coming to some amicable agreement
with the other roads about entering the
depot by building their track parallel
with the Western, and at an angle with
the M. A E. road.
“Nothing definite had been given out,
however, as to tbe result of the confer-
ences held by these officers with those
of the other lines centering here.
“Yesterday the first car of merchan
dise was shipped over the now S. A. A
M. rosd from this elty to Hurtsboro.
The goods were consigned to contractors
who have their camp at that point,
was loaded at Cllsby's Park by Messrs,
W. B. Jones A Hay, who are the con
signors.”
The above from tho Montgomery Ad
vertiser of yesterday is correct in the
main; but Tiie Times-Recobdeb Is able
to state authoritatively that the negotia
tions now pending between the M. A E,
and the 8 A. A M. railroads for the tem
porary uso of the track of the forrnor
into tho Union Depot, will without
doubt bo satisfactorily closod, as the
Central as well as the L. A N. aro dis
posed to accord every facility to tho now
arrival. Recognizing that tho people of
Montgomery aro enthusiastic over the
completion of tho S. A. A M., It would
certainly do the old lines no good to try
to throw any obstacle in the way of an
entrance Into tbe Union Depot. On tbe
contrary, the utmost harmony provails
between these lines, and they will do all
that the 8. A. A. M. could reasonably
ask, in the way of according favors.
Behind the Scene!.
On the stage, the glitter, the powder
and the paint show forth the most, but
step behind tbe scenes and you will be
hold the truth. The ohorua girls are
not all “fancy paints them,” but rather
what they paint themselves; just so with
many of tho flaming advertisements of
so-oalled “catarrh cures.” Get back of
the scenes, and they are not cures. Tho
real one, and tbe only remedy that Is
cure is Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Lift
the ourtain, and you will find the naked
truth to be, that this Remedy Is the one
that cures the worst cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and no mistake. It is also a
remedy In all catarrhal conditions, such
as Catarrhal Headache, Catarrh of the
Throat, etc.
The Darien Gazette is of the opinion
that when Tommie Watson Is elected
governor of Georgia, corn will grow
forty-five feet high and watermelons can
bo plucked from pear trees.

When she was a Child, abe cried for Castorla.
