NOT YET DECIDED.

Nhere the General Passenger
Agents VIII Meet This Month.
The general passenger agents of the lines
entering Savannah have not yet been ad-
vlsed by Chairman Richardson of the
Southeastern Passenger Association of the
result of the application made for the
next meeting of the association, to be held
in this city. The application was made
by all the Savannah lines, as they desire
to have the meeting held conveniently for
the naval stores factors and turpentine
producers, who want the rates on labor
from the CarolInas to South Georgia and
Florida points reduced from the regular
fare.
A few days ago a meeting was held in
Savannah, to which the general passenger
agents were invited by the factors. The
question of rates was discussed, but the
railroad men had no jurisdiction so they
promised to present the matter to the as
ISOLATION. 1t was also promised that an
effort would be made to have the meeting
held in this city.
As is customary in such cases, Chair
man Richardson sent out a telegram to all
the general passenger agents, comprising
the association on the receipt of the tele-
gram from the Savannah lines. All the
officials will send in their votes relative
to the meeting being held In Savannah
w
question will be decided. The meeting,
wherever it may be held, will be on Nov.

1t Is matter of comment that the rail-
roads have thus far this season succeeded
in handling cotton without any friction or
jar. This absolute harmony is something
surprising. 1t is no doubt astonishing to
railroad officials as well as laymen. Not
yet has there been a clash, and nothing
is known that would indicate that there
is to be anything approaching a war APP
portionments have been adhered to at
those points where they have been made,
and at no others has there been competl-
ton of the sort that results in rate cutting
and other disagreeable things that cause
strained relations. In all this there is
matter for congratulation.
