road-A Conference in Atlanta on
Friday.
A circular has Deen addressed to mer-
chants in this city and elsewhere who are
interested in the prompt movement Of
freights on the Brunswick Division Of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, as well as to parties owning
interests along the line, calling a meet
ing with the railroad authorities in At
lanta on Friday, Dec. 10. 1t is as follows:
"In view of the fact that the East Ten
hessee. Virginia and Georgia Railroad for
some time past have failed to move the
freights offered them on the
Brunswick Division of their line,
resulting in serious loss and
damage to parties owning property on
said division, and there being no apparent
prospect of early relief there will be
meeting of all parties interested in this
matter held in Atlanta, Dec. 10, 1884,
that being the most convenient point
to confer with the railroad authorities for
consultation to determine what is best to
be done to obtain relief" 1t is signed by

Co. and j. NJ. Woodland.
Inquiry by NEWS reporter yesterday
as to the cause of this meeting revealed
the fact that many complaints have been
made as to the handling Of lumber, etc.
For the past six weeks facilities have
been furnished for only about One-tenth of
the business. The complaints come
chiefly from the producers, who have
great difficulty in securing transpor-
tatiOn to Savannah and Brunswick. The
greatest trouble is experienced at the
latter place. When cars are asked for, it
is stated, no attention is paid to the re-
quest, and when they are finally secured
and loaded there is much difficulty in
having them moved. There are large
number of cars standing on the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
side tracks waiting to be moved either to
Savannah or Brunswick, and great in
convenience and even loss is being ex-
perienced by mill-Owners and other pro-
ducers aIongthe line by this delay.
