W ednesday’s Constitution contains the following article: “I; : reported th.it th. CouHic; a is contemplating a •t i iiuiu toi ui<* lucui which reaves rvtianta d&iiy at 5, 30 :i\, it-/ ColumhuF. “ r l'his train, it is said, will he changed from its present v>id.h c' tiiev it through McDonoueh nd Griffin, and vviih ; i.v/W the iinc ol die old Tvtiaritn mid 1* Kirida ready which runs direct iroiu Atlanta to VY illianison. It the change is made McDonough wall have only one morning local in stead ot tw r o, as at present, while Griffin will be lelt entirely without ocai rnornir’u service, somnbound, bv the toutuern* ‘‘The reason for the contemplated change, it is said, is the d. - i * * of the Southern to give to the section between At .an a ami YViliiamson a double dail y service, for winch num erous reqiu -.ts have been made. However, the citizens ot N GP< *• i>uh and Griffin are tar from pieasd with the pro posed v-hange. “Griffin points out that the intended change robs it en tirely of southbound morning service, so far as the Southern is concerned. The local from Atlanta to Macon and Bruns wick, wiucb leaves Atlanta at 7.45 a. m., vvul serve Mcl»on ongh, though at a later hour, but the change will make it impossible to reach Griffin by the Southern at any time dur ing thv. forenoon. They are perfectly willing, they say, for points dc tween Williamson and Atlanta to have the double seryice, but not at their expense. ‘‘The change, which is said will take effect at an early date, will not affect the service between Atlanta and Colum bus, except as to ciiange the routing ot the morning train from the way of McDonough and Griffin, to the route via Fayetteville and Williamson.” From another source we learn that it is proposed to put this change into effect on the 15th instant, just one week from to-day. W e ?re also informed at the McDonough post office that the rural mail carriers cannot possibly complete their routes in the time required, il they should wait for the arrival of the train now due here at 7.45 in the morning; that, therefore, the Constitutions lor rural delivery subscribers w r ou!d lie in the McDonough post office all day and reach all subscribers at least a day late and many a day and a half late. With seven routes going- out. irom McDonough, sev cr-4 bundled people from the McDonough post office alone would be affected by a change. Greenwood and Luclla wou id have no morning mail at all. Hampton might sufici by receiving Toe YYeek y a clay later than at present. Fortunately the Georgia Railroad Commission must consent to this change before it can be made. It therefore behooves us to bestir ourselves at once and let it be known that we stand unalterably oppposed to this change. P Mt' *ns, similar to the one below, can be circulated in our towns lor signatures, and we are sure some of our ac commodating attorne\s will volunteer to assist in preset hug I the people’s cause to the Commission. f>. t let every person w’ho opposes this change cut < 1 t the letter at dressed to the Railroad Commission, given be low. ngn same and mail to Ihe Henry County Weeicty, 1 McDonough", and we shah see that it is placed before the [ C> mmis.'sion. Mail same to The Weekly and not to the Editor, as he mav be absent and it addressed to The Weekly, it will re ceive immediate consideration. Peisonalls we are n.a concerned about it, but we he iieVv tha- the people’s interests are at stake and we wish to warn them in lime. We request and urge Griffin a d its excellent papers to join with us in this fight and g .thering of petitions and requests. To the Honorable Railroad Commission of Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia. As a citizen ot Henry county, I respectfully request that your honorable bod) do not allow such a change ot its present schedule by the Southern Railway Company as would have its morning train trom Atlanta to Columbus, known as No. 30, run over the A. & F. Tracks to William son and cease to run through McDonough, Greenwood, Lu ella, and Griffin. Gentlemen representing me and other citizens will pre sent to you on my behalt and theirs, in detail, the good rea sons why we make this request. Yours respectfully, P. O. Route No.
