the GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIA
TION’S TRIP TO KANSAS CITY.
Their Visit and Reception at Birming
ham—How They "Were Received at
Memphis and Springfield.
The readers of the Morning News have
probably not forgotten the frequent refer
ences made in its columns a few years since
to the “Goodwater extension,” by which
it was proposed to connect the Central rail
road of Georgia with the magic city of Bir
mingham, Aim, and open up a business
with the coal and iron fields of the wonder
ful country of which that city is the natu
ral capital. At the tiSie the building of
this railroad was the talk of the people
of Savannah, it was stated that it would
be a part of a great system which would
bring the grain and meat producing west
much nearer to the southeast, and at the
same time give them a nearer route to the
sea. The completion of this railroad
was looked forward to as an epoch which
would mark a well-defined advancement in
the commercial importance of Savannah.
The railroad was built from Goodwater to
Birmingham, and the trains of the
Central railroad ran quietly into
the region where nature had
from the beginning, stored in earth’s bosom
not only iron, but coal and limestone, with
which it could be made useful to man. Re
turning, these trains have brought iron and
coal. The first to be distributed amoug
foundrymen and iron workers from the
Chattahoochee to the Kennebec, and the
latter to supply the wants of the people of
one-half of Georgia and even those of
farther Florida.
The lmk, however, that was to bring
Georgia nearer to the far west, as it was
once called, was not completed when the
Central’s system reached Birmingham.
The newspapers reported that the Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad, a
continuation of the Kansas City, Fort Scott
and Memphis railroad, was being built, and
that ere long there would be a continuous
short line conuo ting Kansas City with Sa
vannah aud also giving Memphis the larg
est interior cotton market in the United
States, an outlet to the sea.
The work of railroad building progressed
so rapidly that the great project was com
pleted before the people of the cities
that are so greatly interested in it fully re
alized what was going on. Even the news
paper men, who are always urging and
heralding improvements, were doubtful if
they could say that the route was really
opened for business.
The members of the Georgia Press Asso
ciation' who were about to take their an
nual outing, were agreeably surprised by
an invitation from Maj. M. S. Belknap,
the gene: al manager of the Central rail
road of Georgia, to make an excursion to
the northwest over the new route, and thus
awaken the people to the fact that the
short and direct all-ra>l route from the
Upper Missouri and the Lower Mississippi
to the South Atlantic, through the coal aud
iron mines of Alabama and the cotton fields
of Georgia and Mississippi, had beeu estab
lished and was in actual operation. A
train of two sleepers, a day coach and a
combination smoker and baggage car, was
placed at the service of the Press
Association, under the charge of
W. L. Glessner, Esq., editor of the
Americus Daily Recorder, and commis
sioner of immigration of the Central rail
road, with Conductor Hall and a full crew
of porters and train hands. It was a well
planned excursion. Every detail had been
arranged, and, as the sequel proved, the
arrangements were perfect.
A happier set of male and female mortals
never set out on a day’s picnic with less care
ami greater hopes than the sixty-five who
rolled out the depot at Macon on the even
ing of May 28. It was a special train run
ning on its own schedule. As it flew by
Etation after station on its way to Colum
bus, those who were about the depots won
dered what was up. Day light found the
train climbing over the hills that inclose
the mineral wealth of Alabama. Those
who observed the top igraphy of the
country appreciated the hostatancy at first
displayed by the Central railroad’s
directory in undertaking the work of build
ing the road from Good water to Birming
ham. For miles, possibly along the entire
line, a succession of hills and valleys,
which, as the train dashes along, reminded
one of jumping from one high church
steeple to another. Hill top and precipice
make up the country until near Birming
ham, when nature appears to have been
less freakish and the landscape broadens
out into larger bills and gently rolling val
leys.
Of course the excursionists stopped at
Birmingham, which means visiting all the
country around. Mr. Frank J. O’Brien,
the proprietor of the Age-Herald , assisted
By Mr. Anvs J. Cummings, of the New
York Sun, who was out on a sight-seeing
tour, took charge of the Georgia editors.
Mr. Cummings many years ago worked on
the Savannah Morning News, and. of
course, hi3 natural affinity was toward the
representative of that paper. Mr. O’Brien
is 'probably the best-knowu man in the
mineral regions of Alabama. Ho is inter
ested in nearly all the enterprises that have
made Birmingham famous. In addition to
owning the big morning daily of the city he
owns the opera house and the principal
hotel. He is, as his name would indicate, a
native of Ireland, and has all the enthusi
asm, hospitality and combativeness for
wuich his countrymen are noted. He is
not a printer, as might be in
ferred from his connection with a news
paper, but a painter. He speaks (and
swears probably) in four languages,
and has barrels of money, all of which
entitle him to rank with the editorial fra
ternity. After visiting places of interest in
the city tbo party took the train ou the
Mineral Belt railroad, and made the circuit
of tne wonderful region about which so
much has been" said. The excur
sionists stopped at a coal mine
where there was no miue. The
ore is simply shoveled off the top and side3
of the hill. Mr. Kelly of Pennsylvania,
surnamod “Pig Iron,” who visited this miue
a few years ago, remarked that thtS iron in
dustries of Alabama needed no protection.
Ihe great iron furnaces at Eusley were
'’■sited. They are said to be the largest in
tun world, and it would be difficult to
imagine any other that could be larger or
more complete. Bessomer, the city that is a
rival of Birmingham, is near to these
■works. It has a handsome hotel, several
magnificent blocks of buildings and two
daily newspapers, ‘'The Bessemer ,” edited
By Mr. Judsou, formerly manager of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, and tbe
Journal. Ex-Mayor William A. Courtenay
Charleston, S. C., was at Bessemer at the
time of the visit, looking after the affairs
of.the Charleston company of which hois
President, and which i as somewhere in the
neighborhood of a million and a half dollars
invested in the embryo city.
To a r 6tranger it would appear as though
tnis town is built up twenty years in ad
vanced its population. Possibly he didn’t
understand the situation, but that is how it
rooked to some of the visitors. If the
money ed men of Charleston had put their
surplus change in a railroad, to
connect their lovely city with some
* j . Sfrent systems oxtending west
, ar “> it looks as though it would
mve teen better. Messrs. Jiidson, Courte
y and others of their ilk can build
up Bessemer if anybody can. There is a
great future, however, to all that country,
or which Birmingham is tbe center, and
, would not be safe to sav that all the cities
ana towns around will not develop and
°., w > and eventually join each other and
make the great city of which so much has
been predicted. A \i-; i Lake View and
Lake, the beautiful suburban resorts
of Birmingham, completed the day’s pleas
ures, and about early bed time the editors’
special train whirled out of the depot on its
long run to Memphis.
The trip from Birmingham to Memphis
was made at night; that is, all save about
fifty miles, of it-, , which those who arose
early had an opportunity to look at. What
we saw of the country was planted in cot
ton, and the buildings had the appearance
of bavin* seen better days. We were told
that we (fid not miss anything by not seeing
that portion of Alabama aud Mississippi
which we passed through during our sleep.
I should have preferred to have gone
through it in the day time. There is .
no portion of the south that is not worth ■
seeing. Those who went out on the plat
form to view the land thought they had I
reached the North Pole. The weather I
looked cloudy from the inside of the car, j
but no one supposed it was cold. A Mon- 1
tana or Dakota blizzard had evidently |
struck the country, and a Savannaliian '
was forcibly reminded of December’s icy
breezes and freezes. The Memphis hack
and omnibus drivers, huddled up in their
overcoats, smiled at the Georgia editors
holding their straw hats with one hand
while the other grasped frantically for the
top button of their alpaca coats and found
it not. Some of the excursionist* who had
experienced the delightfully sudden changes
of weather in the west nad brought their
overcoats, but the majority had nothing j
warmer than a linen duster, the very looks
of which produced a sensation of ague. I
The reception committee of the Memphis
press were at the depot to receive the visit
ors, and after the usual introductions,
hosts and guests were driven
in carriages to the Peabody house where a
mist tempting layout was awaiting them.
That being disposed of the visitors were es
corted to the steamer C. B. Bryan and a
run of about an hour was made on the river.
On the return of the boat carriages were in
waiting and the party were driven through
the city, the drive ending at the Memphis
Cotton Exchange, where Acting Mayor
Hadden welcomed them and was replied to
by Capt. T. M. Peeples, of Lawrencaville,
Ga.
The representative of the Morning News
dined at the Chickasaw Club with President
Woodson of the Cotton Exchange. This
unimportant statement is simply introduc
tory. The club represents the remains of the
famous Chickasaw Guards, Memphis’ crack
corps, which, after winning many victories
on the drill grounds throughout the coun
try, went to pieces after its defeat in Mo
bile. The people of Memphis were too
proud of the fame of their military repre
sentatives to let the name die out, and
therefore reorganized the company as a
club, of which about 400 of the prominent
citizens are members. They pay certain
club fees, aud the military company, which
has been reorganized and il.s ranks filled up
with young men, is a part of the club.
The excursionists, after dining, boarded
the cars of the East End Dummy Line and
went to Montgomery park, or race course.
The club house was thrown open and the
visitors entertained in Memphis’ best style.
It was very much like Savannah’s hospi
tality, including artillery punch, and there
was also a victim to its hidden dangers.
However, we must not tell tales out of
school.
Memphis is a well built city, and
has many handsome business aud
residence Btreets. It has the
Waring system of drainage, which 1
was informed gives great satisfaction. It
also has an ample supply of wholesome
artesian water, furnished by a private
corporation. To judge from the appear
ance of the gentlemen connected with the
Memphis press and the business men to be
met with in the cotton and merchants’ ex
changes, there is nothing unhealthy about
Memphis. No city that the Georgiaus visited
averaged as well in the general make up of
its people as the city of Memphis.
The members of the Memphis Cotton Ex
change will compare favorably with the
hands imest of those gentlemen who lounge
around the building at the foot of Drayton
street. Memphis is, as I believe I have be
fore stated, the largest interior cotton port
in the country. During the past season it
received 700,000 bales of cotton, nesrly all
of which didn’t come to Savannah, An
inquiry among cotton men elicited the fact
that rates wore not favorable for shipping
via Savannah and cotton went northward
via Norfolk. Our shipping men and rail
road managers should get their heads to
gether and see if Memphis’ shipments can’t
come this way. Savannah has ample ter
minal facilities, magnificent ocean steam
ships and clear-headed business men to
haudle trade, and she should not let any
thing go elsewhero which should come to
her. Our energetic friends who have
built up the foreign steamship
trade should pack their saehels and make a
trip along the route from Savannah to Kan
sas City, stopping at Memphis. It is not an
unpleasant trip to make just now when
business is a little slack along the Bay.
Memphis has a dummy line and a
“boom.” Streets are being opened out and
green fields turned into city lots. Presiden t
or Acting Mayor Hadden told
me that over 1,000 houses were
being built. That is a little ahead of any
other southern city. I was about to give
the population of Memphis, but thsre are
two subjects about which newspaper men
are sensitive, the population of their re
spective citie3 and the circulation of their
papers. Had George AVashington been a
newspaper man the hatchet item would
never have appeared.
We parted with our Memphis friends just
as the sun was sinking somewhere across
the river in Arkansas, but before the trans
fer boat got our train across the turgid
Mississippi it was dark as Erebus, The ex
cursionists had had a long day of excite
ment and pleasure, and it was not long be
fore they were in their little bunks, listen
ing to the rub-a-dub of the car wheels,
until “nature’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep,”
took them away to dreamland.
We passed through or over the Ozark
mountains just about daybreak, and shortly
after arrived at Springfield, Mo. W e
were received by the mayor and a large
concourse of citizens, and a brass band.
They kindly allowed us to get our break
fast first, aud then did the agreeablo. The
breakfast, by the way —and I say it with all
due respect to the merits of the many
excellent hotels where the Georgians
stopped on their trip to and from Kansas
City—was the best meal we ate on our trip.
It vjiil not be out of place to state just here
that we arranged for all meals and accom
modations ahead, and paid for all we re
ceived. The tro i surer of the association
was amply provided with funds to foot all
bills. After breakfast the mayor of
Springfield welcotned U3 in a
stirring speech and the brass band
played “Dixie.” The president of the press
association was making his reply to the
mayor’s welcome when, much to his relief,
and probably that of his party, the con
ductor sung out “Ail aboard!” and the
hospitalities came to an abrupt termina
tion. Our next stopping place was Kansas
City.
Disease and Death
Force their way into many a household that
might be pigitected from their inroads by the
simple precaution of keeping in the house that
benign family medicine and safeguard of health
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Particularly
where there are cbildrtil should it be kept on
baud, as a prompt rtwitdy for infantile com
plaints, in their outset, easily conquered, but
which, if allowed to ohgraft" mempelves on the
delicate childish organism, af not easily dis
lodged. and speedily work grievous mischief.
Irregular.ty of tho bowels, indigestion and bil
iousness are ailments of dommon occurrence in
the household. Childrun living in malarious
regions are more liable to.be attacked with
chills and fever than a lults, and the ravages of
that fell disease in theiy system are speedier and
more serious. In remote localities, far from
professional aid, It is especially desirable.
