The Free Excursion Trains.

1 have received numerous letters within
the past ten days from Georgia delegates
, who expect to attend the session of the
Farmers National Congress at Macon
next week, making inquiry as to whether
/ or not they would be permitted to go
on the free excursion to Florida and
to Savannah. These trains and trips have
been voluntarily rendered by the roads
giving the excursions since the session
| os the congress was secured for Macon.
The officials of the congress had nothing
| to do with getting up these excursions,
beyond accepting the invitations tender
ed by the railroads on behalf of the dele
gates The prime object of the railroads
| Is to take these incoming visitors into
| Georgia over their lines for the purpose
! of presenting to them birds eye view
| of the resources of our state. AS many
cars as can be handled by an engine
will be made up for each train. The
excursion to Florida and return will be
taken first, the train leaving Macon at
, o'clock Saturday morning. October 18th.
Upon the return of this excursion. over
the line of the G. s. and F.. train will
be made up on the NJ, d. and s. railroad
to take the delegates to Savannah and
return, leaving Macon Monday morn
ing, October 18th. The visiting delegates,
or all who care to go, will be first pro-
vided for. and the space that is left In the
+, cars can be occupied by those of the local
delegation who can go. There will be
no attempt made at unjust discrimlna-
ton against the Georgia farmers in hand
ling these excursions, beyond extending
passage first to our visitors from distant
, states. As a matter of fact it would
be impossible for any one train to carry
the entire number of people who will
attend the congress. A large number for
various reasons cannot go, and 1t is hoped
that ample room may be provided for all
who can go. The trips will be highly en-
joyable 1 furnish the last list of asso-
ciated delegates who 1 have appointed
within the last ten days. which added
to the number already commissioned by
the governor will run our Georgia dele
CATION to more than 1000. The names
