Atlanta, April 10.—The Baptist** of Atlanta are raising a disturbance in com mon with their brethren over the rest of the South, at the action of the railroads refusing to give them a round trip tick et for one fare to the convention which, meets in Birmingham May 8th. This rate was given them last year, but the different railroad men say it was fixed by the roads out side the southern association, as it was held in Fort Worth. The rate this year is one fare and one-third of a fare. The railroad men claim that out of the thou sand delegates there are not more than a few hundred tickets paid for, on ac count of so many passes being issued The Baptists are making a vigorous ef fort to secure the one fair rate, as they say they arc entitled to it as well as mil itary companies, expositions and polit ical gatherings.
