soon after his arrival in Atlanta Mr.
NV
sentative and asked about the Significance
or his trip over the line
ne talked about the purpose of his trip as
a man who had no deep secret to keen from
tne puohc-somethng quite as rare as
Wlse-strange to say, among railroad man
ayers of high position, and consented to a
liberal interview.
ON, no, said he pleasantly at isn't the
poncy Oh the men who have been so faith |
1ully at work for the reorganization of
your great southern railway properties to
keep anything dark. So in earnest are tho |
mon behind this movement and so genuine |
their desire to put the bankrupt roads of |
the south in good shape upon q strictly
business-like and legitimate plan that there
can be no secrets about it one way or the
other.
I'VE have been very much pleased at the
course things have taken in the great work
Of reorganizng and putting in operation the

nents. 1t has progressed most satisfactory

hat the court, ia approving the sale of the
cast Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road
he other day should have given expression
o sentiments of such deep and genuine en-
lorsement of the work as n did.
The newspapers of the south have like
wise shown the reorganizers every possible
consideration, and all of the people OF this
ection, L am sure, will, in due season, reap
he full benefits of the changes that are to
axe place, the greatly improved Irain ser
ice. the fast freights and the general eX-
ellencies that can but grow out of a CONSOLE
alton and reorganization of properties such
S these.
