The Southern Travellers Association is
actively at work trying to get reduced
1 rates on sleeping cars Tue associations at
torney, Hon. W. H. Fleming, the represent
alive from Richmond county, has introduced
a bill providing for reduced rates and better
| accommodations. The bill has been taken
| up in the House and referred to the judiciary
| committee, and the committee has heard
arguments from both sides. The asso-
cations railroad committee, messrs. Town
send, Abrams of Savannah, and Atwater
Of Atlanta, and their attorney, Mr.. Flem-
ing, were present in support of the bill, and
Hon. n. j. Hammond, e. Lochrane, and
Supt. Kountz appeared in the interest of
| the Pullman Car Company. A heated ar
| gument is said to have resulted, and both
sides Of the question were presented freely,
but the committee was asked by the repre-
sentatives of the Pullman Car Company to
suspend further action until they had time
to answer more fully the arguments eli
vanced by the associations representatives.
Messrs Townsend and Abrams spoke for
the travellers association, and they were
answered by Hon. N. j. Hammond.
The matter now stands suspended until the
Pullman Car Company representatives are
ready to go ahead with it. 1t is believed
by the travellers association that if the

matter as soon as the argument had been
concluded, tue association would have
gained its point.
The bill was inspired by the association
soon after its organization. and was intro

for sanitary living, and for the protection
against disease which timely and 1udicious
