Even m3re than the PennSylvaulA
Ralrra;l was to the Centennial Expo
s:tion at Philadelphia, and the Illinois
Central Railroad was 10 the Worlds
Fair, the Southern Railway is to the
Cotton States and International Expo

reaches Atlanta from al four points
cf the compass, stretching out its I'M
mense arms to The Potomac al Wash
in ton, and the Ohio River gateways
t. Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis,
Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orleans,
and aching down into the interior OF
Florida and penetrating as T. network
the entire Southern Staies, it brings
directly into the gates of Atlanta trade
and travel from all quarters OF The
globe
Tho S,u:Lern Railway being the
only line Of transportation entering
the expo>i:ion grounds, 1t has under
taken to proudly assert its recognition

posite the Union Depot in this city,
and also at the grounds OF tue expo
sitiOn itself.

capacity of 10000 sn hour in each dl-
rec:iou, or total movement in one
hour of 10000 people, should neces-
sitics require.
Vice President Baldwin has imbued
his entire staff Of subordinates with q
spirit of energy and enterprise in this
undertaking that is bound t. make II
t!l mist successful sof the kiud ever
known.
The passenger department Of the
Sou:her Railway has Issued ex ensive
ami BEAUTIFUL advertising matter OF
original and effective sort, and ha:
,.articipat. d rerv largely in the effort
50 successfully resulting in arranging
