'SWIPING
OUR TRAIN
Macon Wants
Connection
Broken.
CENTRAL MIGHT CONSlD-
Err PROPOSITION.

Unless Americus is willing that the
Central train which starts from here
early in the morning, returning al
10:40 at night, shall be changed Sc
as to miss the Atlanta connection, il
would seem to be time to get busy.
Macon is making a play to Lave
this early train leave Americus later
which would result in missing the
connection to Atlanta at Macon.
The object Of Macon is of course to
make of that city the center of trade
Il very oommendable ambition from
Us standpoint. A later train would
be sure to bring in more passengers OF
itself, and combined with the imros-
sibility of making the round trip
from Americas to Atlanta in a day,
would add yet other shoppers.
While the hour Of leaying-4:15 a.
mis- decidedly early, yet the ad-
vantage of being able to make a trip
to the Capital City, transact bust
ness and return on the same day, has
more than overbalanced this early
rising
With tie connection missed at Ma
con, passenger to Atlanta would
have to leave here at o'clock i'll the
afternoon, remain all night and the
next day in Atlanta, returning that
night after a hard ride.
General Passenger Agent ! C.
Halle, of the Central has taken no
tice of an editorial in the Macon
News, urging that the train leave
Americus later, and become a Ma
con shopping train, and leave earlier
in the evening.
In a letter tc the News, Mr.. Halle
says:
MY attention has been called to
the editorial in your issue of October
18th, in regard to schedule of our
Southwestern Division trains and s.
The schedules of these trains oper-
ated between Macon and Albany were
adopted several years ago at the
earnest solicitation of certain citi-
zens of Americus and others inter-
ested in this service.
= They were adjusted to meet the
requirements of citizens living along
the line, served by this train, who
travel, to enable these people to get
to Macon or Atlanta, to transact
business and return home the same
day.
They also furnish convenient con-
nections at Atlanta for travel to the
eastern cities.
THE management of the Central
has no interest in the arrangement
of these schedules except to furnish
its patrons satisfactory service, and
has no intention in regard to these
schedules, or others, to discommode
the citizens who shop in Macon.
"If the patrons of the trains in
question desire a later arrival in
Macon, and an earlier departure from
Macon, the management of the Cen
trail is quite willing to meet their
views.
Some time ago we contemplated a
change, but we met with strong oppo-
sition from the travelling public,
hence concluded to run the trains as
we have been doing for several years.
"Inasmuch as you have editorially
presented your side of the question in
your paper, we respectfully ask that
you afford your readers an opportun-
ity to be informed of uor position in
the matter. Very respectfully,
-. c. HALLE, Gen. Pass Agt.
