There was one thing about the big cot
ton rates fight in Atlanta last week that
gratitied other railroad men and myself
immensely" said a gentleman in traffic
circles yesterday, land that was the al
most total absence of anything that look
ed like bitter or intense feeling against
the railroads. We were not reviled in any
way and no contumelies were heaped upon
our heads. There were but few if any of
the papers of the state that espoused the
cause of the petitioners with any virulence
at all, and the fight was waged purely
upon its merits with all bitterness and
personalities omitted. This was a pecu-
liar qualification to US, as it shows that
the people are abandoning the old erro-
neous idea that policies of railroads are
inimical to their interests. Our interests
coincide in every way with those of the
people, and we are glad to see that they
are awakening to realization of this
fact"
