Strained Construction. “The argument that the Panama canal is a coastwise canal for coast wise vessels is a strained construc tion. Great Britain could, owning In dia and tlie British Isles, with about as much propriety, claim exemption for'her coastwise vessels going through the Huez canal. “Ninety million of our people have taxed themselves to build the canal and now less than 9,000 ship owners are demanding to use It without pay ing for the cost of keeping it in order or interest on the prime cost.

I understand perfectly well how a group of rich men owning a n nopoly ir. coastwise shipping can stir up various organizations and patriotic Irish so cieties around seaports.

The public senti ment of the United States is based on common sense—honor, wisdom, pa triotism —and on established facts and cannot be stampeded by a selfish prop aganda nor by the expenditure of large amounts in advertising or in inspired editorials.

D., will be gin a series of revival services in the l-hrst Presbyterian church. He will be asisted by Prof. Samuel T. Battle di recting a large chorus choir. The As sembly Song Book will be used. This will be learned with much much pleasure, as the beautiful songs It contains became very popular dur ing the Thacker-Elsi'her meetings sev eral years ago. Prof. Battle is well known in Augusta as one of the fore most leaders of singing in the South. His daughter. Miss Margaret Battle is soprano of the church and will sing many solo selections. The quartette choir of the church will also asist in the music. This is the first time that Dr. Se vier has ever attempted leading a re vival service in his own church, but ho has had much success in evangelis tic meetings in other churches, and he expects with the loyal support of his members and friends to have a great meeting in the old First church. The services will begin promptly at 8:15 each evening. The day services will be held at St. John's church at 12:30 o’clock. 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 TRADE AT MILLNER’S CUT RATE GROCERY Wholesale 2TJL* R e ,ail The bargains at Millner’s are still on, ss we are trying to make rosin to extend our building.
