“Ninety million of our people have

"There is no common sense or Jus
lice In the proposal that one American

understand perfectly well how a group

coastwise shipping can stir up various
organizations and patriotic Irish so

of tlie three tailors of Tooley street,
who resolved: 'We, the people of Eng

ment of the United States is based
on common sense—honor, wisdom, pa

TWO FAST TRAINS ON THE
GEORGIA R. R. PLANNED
(Continued from page one.)
the citizens of Augusta and throughout
the length and breadth of the road.
The trolley service has destroyed the
accommodation patronage very largely
on the Atlanta end and the road asks
to take off these trains which are so
unprofitable so as to put on much bet
ter and faster service.
Mr. Billups' Letter.
The following letter has been ad
dressed to the railroad commission by
Mr. Billups:
Hon. Murphy Candler,
Chairman, Railroad Commission of
Georgia,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
We have the honor to attach .here
with copy of proposed schedules, which
wc would like to put in effect at the
earliest possible moment:
Our connections, both at Augusta
and Atlanta, are only waiting on us
to establish through service and trains.
For years the people of North Caro
lina, Souti. Carolina, eastern Georgia,
Augusta, Atlanta, the western section
of this state, and the important towns
locally, have urged better and faster
schedules for these lines.
At the hearing in Aiianta a few
weeks since, where the Regional Hank
committee was investigating variops
locations for these government banky,
Columbia and Charleston, S. C„ advo
cated Richmond, Va„ as against Atlan
ta, giving as one of their reasons the
poor train service between those cities.
At present the Georgia Railroad has
only one through sleeping car line (At
lanta and Charleston), and this is op
erated on a most inferior schedule.
On our present time we leave Atlan
ta at 12:10, midnight, arriving Charles
ton at 12:50, noon, the next day, and
returning, leave Charleston 5:25 p. m.,
arriving Atlanta 6:20 a. m. Tills makes
it impossible to transact business in
one day.
The people of Georgia complain bit
tcrly as to tills, and the people of
Charleston have likewise protested.
With the consent of your honorable
body, we are going to try and Im
prove the entire situation.
In this effort wo have met with the
hearty support of the Southern Hall
way and the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road. They have agreed to put on two
new trains between Augusta and the
Carolinas, with through ears to con
nect with our trains, No's 3 and 4.
With this new service, a passenger
can leave Atlanta at 8 p. rn„ arriving
in Charleston at 7:30 a. m.; Columbia
on approximate schtolule, and connect
for all eastern floutn Carolina points,
via Southern Railway. Connection
will be made with Atlantic Coast Line,
arriving in Florence, S. at 8:15 a.
m.; Wilmington at 12:30, noon. At
Florence connection will tie made with
through Coast Lint trains to North
Carolina points and Virginia. This is
a service long advocated by the citi
zens of Georgia, the Carolinas arid 'he
East. \\> fool they should be ac
commodated, and with this end in
view, a general re-adjustment of
schedules Is necessary.
With the proposed change it is our
idea that the local public will be splen
didly served and an opportunity af
forded these good peopel to enjoy
THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA.
through and quick service to tho out
side world.
The cities of Atlanta, Augusta, Ma
con, Athens, and the important towns,
have urged that something he done,
and we hope to be able to grant their
request. Augusta as a tourist point
lias suffered on account of no through
or fact trains via the Georgia Rail
road.
This lina Is now ready to do all
within its power to build up the com
munities they are privileged to serve.
Your honorable body Is probably
aware of the fact that at present we
are operating some short or suburban
trains, which serve very few people
and are run at a heavy losa to the
company. This we are prepared to
show, beyond a doubt, and it is but
reasonable to ask that we be allowed
to discontinue some of them. If thole
continuance wer vital to any commu
nity, we would not even petition for
relief, but as ample and reasonable
service is afforded by other trains and
facilities, we feel that In view of the
fact that the expense of sn additional
new train must be added between Au
gusta an. Atlanta and vice versa, It
Is only fair that this burden should be
removed.
Must Take Off Suburban Trains.
In fact, it these suburban trains are
not taken off, tho Georgia Railroad
could not consider the added service
at all.
We will state further that these short
runs are detrimental to the prompt
handling of other passenger trains, anti
are a serious obstacle in the prompt
movement of freight. Noting the large
number of trains in operation, it is
easy to perceive that they are in the
way.
The trains referred to are as follows:
No’s 0 and 10, between Covington
and Atluntu.
No's 25 and 26, between Llthonlu
and Atlanta.
All are operated at a heavy loss and
handle very few passengers. I am at
taching herewith a copy of our cur
rent time table, showing their present
time.
We had also intended asking for a
discontinuance of trains 11 and 12, be
tween Camak and Augusta, but al
though these trains too are run at a
heavy loss, conditions are such that
we are willing to continue them, pos
sibly witli a slight change, to give a
departure from Augusta, to take curs
of patrons who cannot leave August'
earlier in the afternoon. These are
few in number, and there Is little reve
nue but we will continue on this ac
count.
Between Stone Mountain and Atlan
ta, the electric ear line with quick and
frequent service, paralleling tho Geor
gia Railroad, affords splendid'facili
ties and is handling nearly all of the
business. Therefore, there is no ne
cessity lor trains 0. 10, 25 and 26 any
longer.
The people from Covington and Con
yers, who ttesire to reach Atlanta, are
amply provided for by other trains.
The total revenue from these four
trains will fall far short of the amount
required to pay the train crews alone.
You will note on proposed changes we
have changed the time of trains 93
and 94, known as Buckhead accommo
dation .slightly, in order to afford a
better time for patrons, we think.
However, if It is desired, we would
be willing to leave Union Point earlle
and depart from Atlanta on figures
most suitable to the people.
Calling attention to each main line
train in particular, we will give de
tails as follows:
No. 1: From Augusta; local train;
leaving Augusta 50 minutes earlier,
connecting witli all branches; arriving
Atlanta 1:10 p. m. This gives an
earlier arrival, all points very much
desired and particularly at Macon,
where new connection will he made
with South Georgia. The Macon
branch people have petltnined for this
as no connection was made on former
schedule.
No. 3; Leave Augusta 12:50 a. m.
Instead of 11:15 p. m„ shortening time
greatly; connections at Augusta,
Southern Railway new train from
Charleston and South Carolina points;
Coast Line new (rain from Florence
and North Carolina; connections di
rect at Atlanta for Montgomery, Mo
bile, Pensacola, New Orleans, Birm
ingham, Memphis, Mississippi and
Tennessee points, Chattanooga, Nash
ville, St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville,
Cincinnati, Knoxville and Interior
Georgia sleepers between Atlanta and
Charleston and Wilmington, N. C.
The New Fast Train,
No. 19, New Fast Train: Leaving at
noon, Augusta time, with connection
from Coast Line fast train from East
(now missed), gives all Interior Geor
gia through service not now enjoyed,
arriving Atlanta 4:30 p. m. This train
will enable passengers to leave Au
gusta at noon; arrive Birmingham,
Chattanooga, Knoxville, Montgomery,
Rome and Dalton before bedtime, New
Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, Memphis,
Louisville, Cincinnati and Nashville for
breakfast next morning, St. Louis, In
dianapolis, and other cities for lunch.
Chicago hi the afternoon. At all of
these points direct connection is made,
In ail directions. It Is proposed to
handle sleepers Augusta to Chicago,
Louisville and Cincinnati. With this
service, of which they have been de
prlved, you will readily note what It
means to htls section.
No. 27: Leave Augusta 15 minutes
later, thus affording more time with
present connection of Coast Line,
which is scheduled into Augusta at
present on our leaving time. This
trutn will have branch lino connections
and do local work, arriving Atlanta
20 minutes later, connection with N.
C. & St. L. Ry.
No. 93: “Buckhead Accommodation.''
as at present—unless change desired.
It is to be' noted that local service
westbound remains practically un
changed, hut an additional through
train is added.
Eastbound.
No. 2: Ikical train with connections
with branches and Atlantic Coast Line
at Augusta, shortened ten minutes.
No. 20: New train, with connections
corresponding to train No. 19< in oppo
site direction. This offers service from
a territory from which the time and
connections have been very slow.
No, 28: Local train, to leave Atlanta
a few minutes later, ut request of pas
sengers, same connections as sit pres
ent.
No. 4: Through train, to correspond
with No. 3 in opposite direction, con
necting witli new trains of Southern
Railway, and Atlantic Coast Linn Kail
load at Augusta, for the Carolinas and
Virginia.
No. 94: “Buckhead Accommodation,"
30 minutes later to even up if possible
with former No. 10. However, this
departure can be made as best suited
to the patrons.
Branch Lines.
On all branch lines, Macon to Cam
ak, Union Point to Athens, Harnett to
Washington, Union Point to White
Plains, Monroe to Social Circle, and
J-exlngton Terminal R. R., we have
endeavored to connect up, to the best
of our ability, to best serve those com
munities, and while, as you know, a
number of these trains handle very few
people, and the revenue derived hardly
pays operating expenses, we are will
ing to continue them without protest.
In the Interest of those localities. We
will also ho glad to give consideration
to such changes as might he decided
wise, provided the handling of such
trains does not mean incurring any
additional expense, In any manner.
You will note we have thre daily
trains on Macon and Athens branches,
each way, four on Washington branch
and Monroe R. R., and two on White
Plains branch each way. This is cer
tainly an abundance of service.
In submitting these figures for pro
posed changes, It Is our opinion that
we are giving to the patrons of the
Georgia Railroad, the towns and cit
ies located thereon, and the general
public, a service long needed and de
sired, a service which will build up
and place them In quick communica
tion with all sections of the country.
In view of the fact that It Is the
earnest desire of our connections, as
well as the traveling public, to make
effective these schedules, at the earl
iest possible moment, wo pray the

plication removes all dandruff the
great hair destroyer. A little Parisian
Sage rubbed well Into tho scalp for a
few nights will work wonders. When

until the hair Is thick and abundant.
Parisian Sago Is a delightful and in
vigorating hair tonic for men. women
