THE BRUNSWICK A A LEANT B R.
of Siilo not jr*t railed Randi.
Tin' Brunswick Appeql hnabeen in-
isrviewiug Col. Chasi L. Schlatter,
-iii.’t. B. & A. R. R., relative to the
•p rt “f a sale of that' Road.' Said
Ins Colonel:
“Ail last's hit is history—all that’s
missed is mystery* There is no my»-
lery in these iicgntjalioiM. From the
lime the Frankfort committee, who
represent the American and Germa:
owners of the road, made a pretiiu.-
ii u y contract with Mr. W-heeler for
the sale of tin: road, Mr, Wheeler and
his English friends liave been-ready
lo receive a deed of the road from the
committee, nml lo pay the money and
boiiils named iu the contract.
“'Tin: contract shown that the road
was to he turned over to Mr. Wlieclei
free from debt. The (trouble in Mr
way Inis been the innumerable lav.
-iiiis brought against the road, cue
Hie large amount* of- unreasonable
claims, and, iu most cases, illegal
claims.
“Tin* Frankfort committee, natural-
ly. wished to be made fully acquaint
ed with the merit* of all these suits
and of tin: many claims which sud
denly were sprung upon the road
when it was known there wasachance
of its changing hands.
“The early in April Iasi
sent a eouimissiqpcr frem Frankfort
fully uitthorizeir and instructed to
make an examination into the condi
tion anil fuianrcs of th; road, and tin
l'i*v suits pending and claims made,

tu property for a million of dolls,

••»•>)' ti .hy> ”
We hope tiie above thorough (L-u
• xplioit!)' given facts in regard to the
. do of ‘.he Brunswick tc Albany Rail
-mil will silence all false reports am
isScious of the newspapers and pub
ic generally, arousing the authoritii -
■f scheming and keeping the people
.ti the dark. As Coll Schlatter ha-
■tuteil, the road had to he cleared ot
over-hanging debts and law suits bc-
fore the sale could be accomplished,
which of course required lime. Now
that all obstacles are removed, the
commissioners have sailed for Europe
and it will not be long before we will
bear of the side being effected—the
glad tidings for which'Brunswick has
been looking for with great hopes
anil expectations, ns tiie starting point
of prosperity.
As an inlet to the interior of Geor
gia, Brunswick possesses natural ad
vantages surpassed by no other sea
port on the coast; with twenty-three
feet of water on the bar, any ship on
the Atlantic can come in, aud with a
bay that can harbor the eutire United
states navy. Brunswick, without a
doubt, is destined to become one ol
Hie principal ports of Georgia.
Wo have authority for saying that
our brother Editor is a little too fast
: n saying that all “obstacles have been
removed.’’ Law suits remain unset
tied, but the friends of the road are
■ hopes that everything will be
cured in a short time.
