So large has been the Florida Home sekers' business that the Atlantic Coast Line officials have decided to keep rates in effect until next April.
 Yesterday morning Travelling Passenger Agent Taylor received a circular with the announcement that the rates would con. tinue in force and not be discontinued as had been ordered Wednesday. The rates will continues just as the Texas rates of the Louisville and Nashville on the first and third Tuesday of every month. This will make 1t two each in December January, February, March and April, the third Tuesday in November having all ready passed
 Another big thing that the Coast Line officials will have on their hands soon is the winter tourist rates, the big Florida hotels beginning to open the season on December 6. In a few days the route o1 the Florida limited will be decided, Gen. eral Manager Evans and some of the Coast Line officials having discussed the matter during the past few days. | Two years ago this train ran out of Chicago. down the Chicago and East H. linois to Terre Haute.. down the Evans vile and Terra Haute to Evansville, where the Louisville and Nashville got 1t and brought 1t to Montgomery. the Coast Line. or old Plant System, taking it from Montgomery to Jacksonville, where the East Coast got 1t and took it to St. Au- gustine. Last year the route was changed The train was carried from Nashville by way of Atlanta over the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis to Macon and All bany over the Central and from Albany to Jacksonville. It Is probable that this route will be used this winter, and the official announcement will be made in a short time.
 Worlds Fair Business.
 The St. Louis Worlds Fair business promises to be a vastly bigger thing than the railroads of this section anticipate and some surprises promise to be sprung before next spring.
 The only roads out of Montgomery, and in fact in this section. that are affected are the Mobile and Ohio and Louisville and Nashville. Both lines will draw bus mess from Florida. True, the St. Louis business from the Florida section may go over the old Dixie Flyer route, via Ma con. Atlanta and Nashville to Martins Station, where the Illinois Central car ried it to Chicago.
 The result of the Worlds Fair busi. ness will be a vast improvement in the passenger service of the Montgomery Di. vision of the Mobile and Ohio double daily trains with diners and Pullman ser vice being put on all of It's trains.
 Whether the Louisville and Nashville will be forced to put on any more trains for this business remains to be seen. but a local Louisville and Nashville man said yesterday that he did not see how they were going to handle the volume of bus ritory with the trains that they now have
 New Freight Agent.
 Yesterday morning R. c. Ryan of Pitts burg. reached Montgomery and entered . at once on the discharge of his duties as Travelling Freight Agent of the Louisville and Nashville out of Montgomery. MI Ryan was formerly Travelling Freight Agent of the Louisville and Nashville out of Pittsburg. He succeeds J. c. Armstrong who was transferred to Kansas City.
