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 A Delightful Entertainment. Mrs. John C. Clark, the hospitable hostess of the popular Clark house, was at home to a most congenial party of young friends last night. The occasion was a complimentary evening tendered a number of young ladles from Smithvllle, who are visiting Mrs. Clark.

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.
