Tourist Travel Establishes New
High Record in Move

Railroad men said yesterday that.
according to the figures compiled up
to Saturday night, tourist travel South
ward had broken all records OF recent
years. This fact was true two weeks
ago, but lately business has increased
to an extent unheard of heretofore by
passenger agents.
Good times and cold weather drove
people from the East by the hun
dreds, practically all special trains
passing through Richmond over the
Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast
Line Railroads being crowded. In
some instances it was necessary to re-
lieve the congestion by switching some
of the sleepers to local trains. From
the Northwest tourist travel has
reached the highest mark in it's his
tory, according to Southern Railway
officials, whose agents report that the
Middle West has sent thousands Of
people this winter to Florida for re-
lief from the cold. Indications now
continue until the early part of March
was said that the majority of tourists
who stop in Richmond had engaged
reservations to be taken on the trip
Northward. ALREADY the business
has been most gratifying" said the
manager. "and we believe that more
people will stop with us this winter
than ever before. Those who are here

Far from their native shores, but
