Albany and nil that country to tfio
southward and southwostward of her
as far as the Gulf of Mexico, not to
mention railroad circles generally
throughout Georgia and Florida, are
deeply Interested In tho rivalry of at
least six companies that have an
nounced more or less definite pluus
for the construction of a line from this
city to some point on or near the Gulf,
Railroads are the greatest bluffers
and strategists of modern times. It Is
difficult for the layman to separate the
chaff from the wheat—to tell which
concern means business and really In
tends to build a railroad, and which Is
merely stirring up a dust to veil Its
real Intentions and keep Its rivals
fooled.
The country to the southwest of Al
bany Is an Inviting territory to rail
road projectors. There Is at present
uo road In Baker county, and much of
Miller and Decatur Is remote from the
nearest lines. The country 1b rich in
turpentine and timber possibilities, and
there Is no finer agricultural territory
In the state.
What are the plans of the various
roads?
Not nn easy question to answer, to
be sure.
There Is one Interesting bit of In
side history, however, which has been
told by others, hnd, being common re
port in railroad circles, there should
be no harm In telling It here.
When the Georgia, Florida & Ala
bama railway advertised In newspa
pers of this section that It would ap
ply to the secretary of state for amend
ment to Its charter permitting It to
build from Colquitt, Miller county,
through Miller, Baker and Dougherty
to Albany, It Is stated that President
J. F. Hanson, of the Central of Geor
gia, sent an ultimatum to President J.
P. Williams, of the Georgia, Florida &
Alabama. That ultimatum was to this
effect: That the removal of the first
spadeful of dirt for the proposed ex
tension of the G. F. & A. from Colquitt
to Albany would be the signal for the
beginning of work by the Central on a
line from Albany To Bninbridge.
Batnbrldge is an Important point on
the G. F. & A. It would be n simple
mutter, as a mere physical proposition,
for the Central to build to that place
from Albany, as the road could enter
and leave this city via Its line running
westward into Alabama. And at Bain-
brjdge, the Central would become a
strong rival for business sought by the
G. F. & A.
Whether the Central’s ultimatum
was a bluff, and whether President
Williams will, call It; or whether It
was not a bluff, also whether Presi
dent Williams will build, "bluff or no
bluff,’’ -are questions which laymen
cannot hope to answer.
It Is not doubted, however, that In
the very near future the public will
know just what Is going to happen.
The people seem to have a pretty
clearly defined idea, gathered some
where, somehow,, that tho G. F. & A.
mean3 business, and is coming to Al
bany just as soon as It eph complete
Its plans, which are said to be well
advanced.
At any rate, Albany believes she
will have a new road leading south-
westward before a great while, and
that work will begin before the end of
hot weather.
