The case of Rev. W. H. Heard against the Georgia Railroad was heard before the Inter-State Commerce Commission Thursday. J. W. Cromwell and W. C. Martin appeared for the petitioner and J. B. Cumming for the Georgia Railroad. Rev. W. H. Heard testified to the inferior condition of the car, to the presence of whites who smoked, cursed and drank whisky, although a colored lady was a passenger. The railroad did not present any testimony denying this condition of things on that day, but only testimony as to the general rules and custom prevailing. Mr. Martin opened for the petitioner in a statement of the law bearing on the case and the facts as applicable to the law. Mr. Cumming responded for the road in a very plausible speech, signifying a willingness to do what was right, but frankly avowing the purpose of the road to keep up separation as long as possible. Mr. Cromwell closed the argument. The court reserved their decision. The argument of counsel will be printed in full together with the facts in the case, in pamphlet form.

The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson upheld an 1890 Louisiana statute mandating racially segregated but equal railroad cars. The ruling stated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution dealt with political and not social equality. Plessy v. Ferguson gave a broad interpretation of "equal but separate" accommodations with reference to "white and colored people" legitimizing "Jim Crow" practices throughout the South.

On January 27, 1854, The General Assembly of the State of Georgia enacted legislation for the construction of a railway linking the towns of Athens and Clayton. This railway, known as the North Eastern Railroad (Georgia), was chartered in 1856; however the outbreak of the American Civil War delayed construction. The line was chartered on October 17, 1870, and opened between Athens and Lula on September 1, 1871, a distance of 39 miles.In 1881 railroad was sold to the Richmond and Danville Railroad (R&D), a predecessor of the Southern Railway, which connected with the Northeastern at Lula. The R&D began the Clayton extension from Cornelia, 12 miles from Lula. In 1882 it reached Tallulah Falls, 21 miles from Cornelia. The line was projected to pass through Rabun Gap and on to Knoxville, Tennessee, but no work was done. Tallulah Falls was a popular tourist destination and at one time seventeen hotels and boarding houses catered to the trade. On October 24, 1887, the Blue Ridge and Atlantic Railroad (BR&A) was chartered by the State of Georgia, and in early 1888, bought the branch from the R&D.

George Eastman created the modern photograph film technology. The technology that the modern camera is based on was created several hundred years ago. Although the ancient ideas were far away from the types of cameras that we know, they were well ahead of their time in relation to the technology and materials that they had at their disposal. It wasn’t until 1885 when George Eastman created the modern photograph film technology that made cameras accessible to the masses.

Compared to passed food and recipes, there was not much of a change. Meals for the middle class still were not so different from the earlier times. The usual happened, breakfast at 8, dinner (the main meal of the day) some time after 12, and some times a light meal before bed.
Though there was some variety in the meals, most recipes were the same. Soup (pea, clam, beef, veal), bread (corn, potato, muffins), meat and fish (roast beef, ham, turkey,duck, halibut), vegetables (spinach, peas, carrots, succotash), dessert (cheesecake, pudding, sugar cakes, but never any chocolate desserts), drinks (coffee, tea, wine, rum).
Same old, same old. America does not seem to have any more new additions to food. Meat and fish with vegetables and bread. Somethings seem to look more extravagant, but really it has just been made to look pretty, there is nothing knew about it.
