What Are the Factsg

It is about time that there was an author
itative statement as to whether or not the
Richmond and Danville is discriminating
against Savannah. The MORSING NEWS
has published two communications within
the last few DAYS which tend to snow that
cotton that ought to come to Savannah Is
being taken to other ports. The communi-
cations leave the impression that the Rich
mond and Danville is hostile to Savannah,
and is diverting TO other points business that
naturally belongs to her. The Atlanta
Constitution, a couple Of weeks ago. pub
lished a statement that Traffic Manager
Haas undertook TO have the traffic rates
changed so that cotton could be hauled from
the Central railroads territory to West
Point. Va, with advantage to the Richmond
and DanviIle company. As far as we know
Mr.. Haas has not denied this statement.
Statements like these are calculated to
create in this city feeling of hostility to
the Richmond and Danville management.
Are they truel That is question that
ought to be answered. and as Savannah's
interests are closely identified with those Of
the Central railroad the people Of Sevan-
nah have a right to ask that it be authors
tatively answered. II the statements are
not true it ought TO be so stated by those
who are in position to know and to speak
authoritatively. If necessary the directors
of the Central railroad can make an investi-
cation and find out the truth. This con-
slant agitation. based upon statements ac-
cepted by some and rejected by Others. is
injurious to Savannah and the Richmond
and Danville and Central railroads. 1t
leaves the impression that Savannah is los
ing business, and makes juries hostile to the
Richmond and Danville and hurts the Cen
trails securities.
What are the factsl Let us have them.
If business is being diverted from Savan-
nah steps should be taken through the rail-
road commission to protect Savannah's
interests. II it is not being diverted then
the agitation should cease. If a statement
from no other source would be satisfactory
let the Central's directory make an investi-
cation and state the result.
