travellers and tourists who desire to avoid
the heat and dust Of travel by railroad
during the present "heased term, +" should
inspect the advertisement OF the "Great
Southern Freight and Passenger Line,
ola Charleston, 8. c." Upon the invi.
tation of w. A. Courtenay, ESQ, general
agent, we recently took o trip on the
iron steamship Georgia, commanded by
Capt. Holnes-a thorough seaman and
social, obliging gentleman-who can
find time to look after his ship and also
the comfort of his passengers. AS
storms are rare at this season, sea-s sick
ness need not be apprehended-at least,
during the trip referred to above, nearly
ali the passengers-about sixty-met in
the cabin regularly three times day,
and some of them even called for lunch
We would suggest to the managers of
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad the importance of shortening
the line between Columbia and Char
lotte. Seven hours and three-quarters
to run ITO miles is too tantalizing in
these fast times. The reason assigned,
we believe, is, that certain number of
hours is allotted to this road by connect
ing lines, and that Through" passengers
prefer slow running to laying over several
hours at terminal points. This, we con-
sider, an unreasonable excuse, as we
have never heard complaints about the
''laying over" in Atlanta, Ga, and Mo-
bile. Ala, where nearly three hours are
lost in each city; besides, ''!ocal" pas
sengers feel that they are entitled to
some consideration. The managers OF
this popular line have already been
looked upon as belonging to the 60
ahead class, and it is earnestly hoped
they will, by q shortening of the sched-
ule. maintain their well-earned reputa-
ton.
