It will be noticed from the above
that the Western <fe Atlantic Railroad
offers to the traveling public four
through passenger trains per dag each
way between Chattanooga and Atlanta.
It also offers to them what no other
line does or can —through connections
from Atlanta to Jacksonville, Fla.,
via three routes, viz : via Ty-Ty, Thomas
ville and Savannah.
These schedules are all in effect from
November 14, and when it is borne in
mind that the Western & Atlantic
Railroad and its connections make it
an inflexible rule not to advertise sched
ules which it is doubtful they can main
tain, nor io furthermore deceive the
public by advertising as being in effect,
schedules which have not yet been put on,
passengers going via any of the
above sleeping car lines or thorough
fare car lines which pass over the West
ern & Atlantic Railroad can rest as
sured that they will arrive at destina
tion on advertised time.
The title, “Old Reliable,” which was
given to the Western & Atlantic Rail
road, years ago, is more than sustained
by the practice of its management to
promise the public nothing beyond
what they believe and feel assured
that they can furnish them.

‘PLEADING THE BABY ACT,’
—OR—
The Question of ‘Differentials.’
Editor Kennesaw Gazette: In
my previous article under the above
heading, I gave a short resume of the
entrance of the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia & Georgia Railway Co. into Geor
gia, its course of action toward its con
nections, and its counter claim that
they should allow it a differential, in
order to compensate it for self-confessed
disadvantages, and touched upon the
idea that if differentials are to be al
lowed one line for one kind of disabili
ty they must be allowed other lines for
other kinds of disabilities; for, as a
“disability” is something which causes
a line to lose business, if one line is al
lowed a differential to neutralize its dis
ability, then, the other lines, of course,
must be allowed to neutralize their dis
abilities by the same means.
The E. T., V. &G. Ry. Co. makes
no claim for differentials, I believe, ex
cept at Atlanta, and there only be
cause of the Union Depot terminals
which are, it confesses, to its disad
vantage. Therefore, we will consider
the question of how far the “disability”
at Atlanta affects its business, and
then, whether if the Western & At
lantic Railroad Co., for instance, has
its business affected injuriously at oth
er points it should be allowed a differ
ential as against the E. T., V. & G.
Ry. Co.
Bear it in mind that the differential
which it is likely would be allowed
the E. T., V. & G. Ry. Co., in case
anything is allowed, would be of such
a figure that it would probably not in
fluence to any very great extent the
tourist travel, or travel of the wealth
ier classes in general. It would influ
ence more the laboring classes and oth
ers who are not as well off in this world’s
goods as some of their more fortunate
neighbors.
Taking the terminals in Atlanta,
those of the Western & Atlantic Rail
road in the Union Depot are nearer
the Kimball House and are more con
venient to the wealthy class who live
on Peachtree street, and can come
down on street cars ; also to the wealthy
people on Washington street, who
have the same means of reaching that
depot; also to the people on Capitol
avenue, who can use street cars, or any
of whom on these streets can come in
carriages if they prefer.
The laboring classes of the city are
congregated, probably, more in the First
ward and in the western part of the
city generally than in any other sec
tion. Therefore, the E. T., V. &G.
depot is absolutely nearer to the homes
of the laboring and poorer classes of the
population of Atlanta than is the Union
Depot, and, consequently, on the mer
its of the case, the E. T., V. & G.
Ry. Co. has nothing to complain of, so
far as the location of its depot is con
cerned.
Therefore, why should a man from
away over on Taylor’s Hill, for in
stance, who lives nearer to the E. T.,
V. & G. depot than he does to the
Union Depot and has a much shorter
trip to the E. T., V. & G. terminal than
he has to that of the W. & A., be
given an additional advantage in the
rate which the E. T., V. & G. charges
over that which the Western & At
lantic charges? If any differential is
allowed in this case should it not be
to the roads entering the Union Depot?
To state this’fact is to let it answer it
self.
As to the matter of passengers com-
