made to the visitors remarks by
DR.. 7. r. Henderson, Hon. w. NJ.
Wilmington and President +. X,
McShane. The railroad officials
were thanked for their visit to us,
and assurances were given that
the same liberal spirit of cooper
alton to the company and its Off
GERS would continue in the future
that has existed in the past.
One of the officials OF the party
gave out the following statement
as to his impressions of the get
acquainted" trip:
When we left Memphis Mon
day morning to spend a week Wis
iting with the people along our
road and to spread the gospel Of
fellowship and cooperation, in
accordance with the policy of our
management, we knew we should
meet many friends of the read
and of its officers, but we were
not prepared for the overwhelm-
ing cordiality with which we were
received at all points,
The business men and the Off
cialS in each community, as well
as the citizens generally, received
our suggestions in the same spirit
in which they were offered and
rendered us their assurances with
the most evident sincerity Of their
willingness and desire to cooper
ate heartily with the road and its
management in cementing the re-
lations of the road and the public
andin solving the problems which
confront both, realizing that the
interests of the people and the
carrier are mutual and that both
are entitled to square deal.
I'VE officers OF the company
feel that we have been more than
amply repaid for the time spent
on this trip and the result will be
a better understanding and APP
preciation of the conditions on
both sides. 1t is the dawn of a
new era in this section and sun
light Of the not distant day will
show the people and the railroads
working together harmoniously
for the good of all, asfriends, and
not seemingly as antagonists ar
rayed against each other. There
will be other trips of similar char
acter in the future"
