RAILROAD TOPICS.


Many persons are asking IL the Central Rail
road will sell excursion tickets to the grand
Masonic Fair and Bazaar in Savannah. IL would
be well to offer Atlanta an opportunity to visit
the Forest City" at reduced rates during the
continuance of the Fair.
It is amusing to see the frantic efforts Of GER
tain interested parties to make the public be-
lieve that the Georgia Railroad Commission
has caused the rapid increase in value of the
and that all the railroads are prospeFing under
It's benign rule. | have always respected the
gentlemen composing the Commission, but
should lose that respect if / ever heard any one
of them endorse the above sentiment
The work of railroad consolidation has only
fairly commenced at the South. Within twelve
months there will be completed several mag
nlhcent and comprehensive combinations,
after which 1T will be impossible to travel
around and find an independent railroad worth
buying up at twenty-five cents on hundred
dollars. ALI roads that can be made available
or profitable, as feeders or through lines, will
be consolidated and under one grand board OF
management. This course has been rendered
necessary by the outreaching power of great
railroad corporations at the North.
AS soon as this advancing power was fully
comprehended and its future operations APP
pretended, the great railroad corporations of
the South began to combine and consolidate.
and to reach out and gather in scattered roads
that might be needed for future operations.
Gradually this work of absorption has gone
on sometimes the North being victorious and
at another time the South coming out ahead.
Owing to q too confident feeling President
Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
was caught mapping by the Pennsylvania Cen
trail Railroad. and the latter secured the Air
Line Railway to Atlanta. But when they
reached out for the Geolg gia Railroad they
found it in the hands Of Col. VIM. NJ. Wadley,
a man who talkS less and does more than Presi-
dent Garrett. But there are still ''other worlds
to conquer" and the public may look out for
other and more startling developments in the
near future. "Wadley's Iron Wedge will yet
be victorious in splitting wide open many other
proposed railroad combinations that would be
injurious to Georgia and Savannah He thinks
too much and talks to % little to be caught nap
ping by his rivals
