ATLANTA SPECIAL.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 28,-On
Sunday, November 18th, a new
train between New York and
Atlanta, to be known as the Atlanta
Special, is to be indugnratt d by the
Southern Railway. This new train
will be operated on the present
schedule of the New York, Atlanta.
and New Orleans Limited" which
will be changed So as to run later in
both directiins. Bote trains will be
high class in every respect with
dining and club cars and handling
only Pullman equipment.
With the Inauguration of the,
Atlanta Special" there will be four
high class through trains daily in
each direction between Atlanta and
New York over the Southern Rail-
way, five between Charlotte and
New York, and seven between
L, nchburg and New York, thus af-
fordlng splendid accommodations
for travel between the states of the
Southeast and the great Eastern
citces. The new service is being
established to take care of the heavy
business between the Southeast and
the East and to provide for the ex-
pected increase of trans continental
bl slness through the Southeastern
territory. On the same date that the
Atlanta Special" makes its frs
trip, new train will be put on be-
tween New Orleans and San Fran
cisco whice will reduce the time to
the Pacific Coast by thitry hours
and the management of the Southern
Railway has taken advantage of the
opportunity thus offeree to turn as
large a volume of trans-continenta]
travel as possible through the South
east and at the same time give i'm
i proved service for the territor
! directly on its lines.
