The letter is as follows: tl0n "I was so much pleased with ^ ^ your recent utterances before 8Pni employes?at Atlanta, I belieye like ?that I have determined to say en o so to you. of p A community judges a railroad cp 0 corporation by the treatment it nujfl is accorded by the road's agents . there. If railroad agents in sub- 8ftordinate places would treat the sidei public like a storekeeper does era, when the public enters a store, with the public would rapidly grow n?t to regard kindly the railroad com . pany.
