Since 1t was announced that the ar

mingham and Atlantic railroad would
enter Atlanta over the tracks Of the
Atlanta and West Polnh had fallen

mas been much discussion as to way
the agreement was not carried out
The following from yesterdays Con
stitudon win explain the entire mat

The Atlanta. Birmingham ana At
lantic railroad will not operate trains
into Atlanta until the tracks of the
system are completed into this city
which, it is officially stated. win be
some time next fall
Every arrangement nad been made
for the operating of trains over the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
from Brunswick TO LaGrange and
from LaGrange to Atlanta over the
tracks of the West Point railroad,
This through schedule was announced
TO begin on March 3. Then It was
after all of the details mad been ar
ranged and the schedules Tor Hhe
through service to Atlanta via the
West Point route had been placed in
the aands of the printers. that the en-
sire deal was declared off
Then came the announcement that
the Atlanta. birmingham aud Allan

Must Change at LaGrange.
AS tuis service IS now operated
passengers from points along tne At

their way 10 LaGrange, and there
chanse cars and wait for the regular
trains over the West Point route t.
Atlant2 These connections are such
chat neccssitate wait OF several
hours in LaGrange.
It seems that this through schedule
to Atlanta from points along the Allan
Ia, Birmingham and Atlantic via the
West Point route was declared off
as the result Of objection of the Cen
Ial OF Georgia management. The
proprietary interests OF the Central
and the Southern railway are such
as easily explain the occasion Of the
order preventing tie new through ser

been entirely completed.
Because Of this order there viii be

This action has occasioned wide
comment in Atlanta railway circles,
where It has been suggested that the
Central may continue its policy and
Try aud keep the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic from running its trains
into the new Atlanta terminal pas
senger station.
1t win be remembered that at the
umc Presic9ut Atkinson first pro-
jected the entrance Of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic into Allan
Ia the Central Of Georgia manage
ment was very active in taking every
measure possible to prevent the con
struction OF thfssnf1s6sadent road
That the Central inteldszr5 ctfatR
ue the policy is proved by this I'D
objecting, and as a result, pass "
over the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic will have to make their way
to Atlanta srom Lagrange as best the
can and according to, =. regula aSen-

In the matter Of any objection be-
ing made to TIE entrance of the At

the new terminal passenger station,

independent, as bheirl property adj
