The Southern Railway is using the new
Pullman cars on its Georgia division. The
cars are more open than the standard
Pullman, having no drawing room or en-
closed smoking room. They are quite
plainly finished and have no fancy uphol-
STEERING and are built especially for use on
southern railroads and are apparently
much better adapted for this climate than
old style of seepers. Six hundred of this
style of Pullmahs have been built, and they
will be generally used in the south this
winter.
Mr.. ]. S. Kiest, passenger agent of the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
with headquarters in Chicago, was in the
city yesterday and ca led upon many To-
cal railroad officials. He is on his return
from Florida, where he has been on bust
ness in connection with winter tourist bus
mess.
Mr.. H. c. McFadden, assistant general
passenger agent of the Plant system,
turned yesterday from Jacksonville. He
has been looking after the travel to Jack
sonville over the Plant system on account
of gala week.
Mr.. w. NJ. Craven, chief clerk in the Of
flee of the master of trains office, of the
Central, is in Macon.
The boom for the southeast coast as
winter health resort, is probably greater
this season than ever before. Medical
journals, says col. B. w. Wrenn, passen-
ger traffic manager of the Plant system,
never contained more favorable references
fO a than thew
season. He says that physicians through
out the east have recommended southern
trips in many instances. and for this rea-
son, this class of travel is expected to be
larger than at any previous season. But
the sick people who come south are in
search of health and not a means for
spending money. They are not in search
of pleasure altogether The pleasure
seekers, who take southern trips, win not
come as early as the other class"
