•ueljr to the Front—A Fen lUllromt Foinln
What a Florida Han S.p About the situation
For the past week or two there has been
-wonderful activity in southern railroad
securities in the New York stock market
The history of the great Richmond and
Danville deal has already been given. The
•speculative fever has extended to other
southern railroad securities, and there has
been a very general boom along the whole
line. Last week speculation in southern
.stocks lifted the general average price of
.sixty active securities above $70 a share
the highest point touched since the sum
mer of 1883, before the collapse in Denver
and Northern Pacific, Only five southern
.stocks averaged an advance of 8j each last
week. The fifty remaining averaged an
advance of 57 cents per share, so that, in
cluding the southern stocks, the general'
.advance was $1.24 per share. “The enor
mous growth of industry and business at
the south,” says the New York Tribune,
"is just now on everybody’s lips, and the
count of Monte Cristo is expected to ar
rive from that direction every day.”
A Orest Shore Line.
It is said that the friends of the New
York, Philadelphia and Norfoltk Railroad
Company, are arranging for the extension
of their system from Norfolk, Va., to Jack
sonville, Fla., and the great Pennsylvania
railroad corporation are backing them up.
Nothing is known in railroad circles at
•Charleston of the purposes and prospects
of this enterprise. Col. John B. Peck, gen
eral manager of the South Carolina rail
way, said that he did not think that the
movement amounted to anything or that
it would ever be carried out. It might be,
he said, that there was too much money
in Wall street, and that owing to the great
boom in southern railroads this was
•considered a good way to get rid of
•some of it, or it might only be a
.scheme on the part of the Pennsylvania
railroad to bring the Atlantic Coast Line
to terms. Even in case the movement
should be carried into effect, Col. Peck
said that he did not think that it would
have any effect on Charleston, as the
.southern extension would in all prob-
.ability be made by way of Atlanta, as
•either the Norfolk and Western railroad
or the new road which the Robinson syndi
cate proposes to build to Munro, N. C.,
-could be used to make the connection. Col.
Peck was not informed, however, of the
intention of the projectors of this enter
prise, and only gave expressions to his per-
.sonal opinions.
Down the thatUhooehee Valley.
Bainbridge Democrat.
Another railroad from Columbus to Al
bany would be in competition with the
Central all the way to Allantic tide water
at any point on the Georgia coast, and
would prove a hazardous investment—an
investment against one of the oldest and
solidest corporations in the south. A line,
however, down the Chattahoochee valley
to tide water on the gulf, and on the
Atlantic coast in Florida, would not be;
and would develop the very best undevel
oped agricultural and timber sections in the
United States—a section, too, that a good
class of thrifty people would be keen to
■settle and develops, as soon as the road
was assured. The route here indicated
from Tallahassee, would lead down the
? ;ulf coast to St. Marks, Tampa and Cliar-
otte’s harbor—giving the line three fine
ports on the gulf, and a ready outlet at
Fernandina over the F. R. ana N. on the
Atlantic. From Tallahassee south it would
develope the best section of Florida for a
hundred or two hundred miles—a section
-equally as desirable and fertile as the eas -
ern coast, drained by the St Johns river
and the Florida Southern railroad. Con
necting this line at Birmingham with the
Kansas City line, now being built, the road
would become at once the grand trunk
line between the great northwest and the
tropics, and be a paying enterprise from
the start.
The people along this route are ready
and willing to meet all reasonable de
mands upon them to secure this road, and
•only await a knowledge of these require
ments. While they may be “ short” on
ready cash they have lands as fine as a crow
over flew over, and millions of the finest
timber of every kind, brave hearts and
•strong arms, to do for any enterprise that
promises them succor from the toils of the
monopolies in whose embrace they have
■struggled for these many years.
This road, be it remembered, is already
g raded sixty miles (from this city to Cuth-
ert), and the Tallahassee people propose
to build it to the Georgia line—twelve
miles sonth of Bainbridge—and donate the
' Tallahassee and St. Marks road of twenty-
five miles, already in operation. Taking
the twelve mile link south of Bainbridge
and adding it to the distance between
•Cuthbert and Columbus and we have only
about fifty miles of grading to do between
■Columbus and the tide water on the Gulf
and the Atlantic, as against eighty miles to
build a road to Albany.
A Floridian's Views.
Concord,Gadsden County, Fla., Novem
ber 15, 1886.—Editors Democrat: I wish,
through your valuable columns to say to
the citizens of Decatur county, that now is
the proper time to make a strong and uni
ted effort to have the anticipated Colum
bus Railroad built to your city and thence
to Tallahassee, Fla. . _ „ r „
A few days since Major G. W. Haynes,
by request of certain of the leading citi
zens of Columbus, who are interested in
the building of the said road, wrote to a
gentleman of this place to ascertain the
reelings of the people along the line of the
old survey in regard to the building of the
same, to find out what privileges would be
granted, and to learn something in regard
to the country through which the old line
of survey passes. . . . .
Several of the citizens here joined in an
answer to these inquiries—showing that
the citizens along the old line are indeed
anxious to have the road built along th
said line of survey; that land enough at
least to secure she right of way w li be
readily donated to the enterprise; that the
necessary timber for trestles, bridges, etc.,
can be had along the line-so that the
rigi-t of way with timber, etc., need not
cost the company anything from tlu.
Florida and Georgia line to Talahassec,
Therefore, I would respectfully say to
your readers that now is the time to nel:■ l
this matter, and 1 would say to those who
are interested directly in the building o
the road that there is no section ot country
In southwest Georgia and Florida in w me
a road would pay better, and there ce
tainly can be no line of survey m de aJoi g
whicn a road could be built at any h-'ss c ^
pense than the line of survey from Bai
bridge, Ga.. to Tallahassee. Fla. mere
are persons here who could lead a sur\ey
ing corps from Bainbridge to Tallahassee
along a route that would require but litti
heavy grading and but very. little treat
ling or bridging. From Bainbridge t
Tallahassee, by way of Concord, the ai.
tance along the old line of survey, is about
thirty-five miles, and this line is througn
the best farming section of Florida.
The people of Tallahassee are standing
ready and willing to aid in the enterprise
to the fullest extent of their ability,
prove ^ever built and operated, will

Competition for Florida Travel.
Tallahassee Floridian.
railroad fever Beems to prevail in
Georgia, in southern and eastern Georgia
especially. New lines are being projected,
others extended, and great corporations
“f® p u rc , ha fmg or trying to purchase lines
already built to add them to their sys-
tems. The main cause of this activity is
the rivalry for Florida business, and this
competition extends far north of southern
Georgia. The other day important
changes of schedule were made on roads
out of Atlanta, and the papers of that city
and section protest against the changes,
ana that they are solely for the acconnno-
dation of travel to Florida and greatly to
the inconvenience of Atlanta and the
country thereabouts. This disregard of
loeal interests indicates the extent of the
railroad business to Florida, its rapid in
crease and the thorough appreciation of
its value by railroad capitalists. They
want their trains to reach the groves that
yield more freight to the acre than a hun
dred acres in cotton, and the winter re
sorts which are sought by tens of thou
sands of travelers. They know that each
year there will be a great increase of travel
and freight, and they want to secure the
routes that will reap the annual harvests
already profitable in the infancy of the
development of our state, its industries
and commerce. In this struggle of com
petition is found the assurance that one of
the best routes into Florida may not be
long overlooked, and that is the route via
Tallahassee, say, and southeasterly down
into the peninsula through the centre of the
orange region to the sources of the St.Johns
river. This route would cross all the main
southern states, it would afford to visitors
from anywhere the privilege of varying
travel by coming into and going out of the
peninsula by different routes. Now they
must come in and go out over the eastern
lines, or by a roundabout way at cost of
much more time and money. We pre
sume that the capitalists interested in the
Columbus and Florida railroad enterprise
look beyond Tallahassee and see the
promise of a line extended diagonally
across the peninsula, fed by all the roads
that traverse it, and tapping the semi-
tropical section of the state.
