Everette, Deceased, Bullards, Ga. 6-8-6wks-FrI 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.
