Many people forget that there are
two aides to the railway question.
The South today is reaping a har
vest of prosperity, a gerat part of
this le the fruit of aeed sown by the
railways ten and twenty years ago:
All <the roads have encouraged the
building of cotton mills by giving
very low rates on machinery, on raW
cotton and on - thq manufactured
goods. Every large road keeps a
force of men to bring In new settlers,
new industries and new capital.
See how the Southern ‘ railway
brought western North Carolina, the
Land of the Sky, to the attention
ot the world and made It one of the
-best known health resorts ailywhere.
Over ten years ago Mr. T. M.
Emerson now President of the Atlan
tic Coast Line but then traffic man
ager, got me to assist In Interesting
the farmers along the road In the
Carolines, In tobacco culture. Cot
ton was then 6 cents a pound. The
road encouraged tobacco growing In
every way and Inside of ten years,
the tobacco crop along the Coast
Line waa 60,000,000 pounds of the
finest leaf In the world.
IThe Central of Georgia has made
Georgia the greatest of all peach
growing states. This company built
branches into * thq orchids and with
Its connection!) 'runs fast special
trains In the season to hurry the
fruit to market. I have known the
Southern to run ,a special with Just
one car of fruit, 200 miles so that
it would not be held over a . few
hours for a regular train.
Had it not been for Mr. Flagler's
Investment of mllliops in building
the Florida East Coast road, all that
part of the stato would still be un
developed, Inaccessible and thinly
settled with a poor population In
stead of being as It Is, a highly pros-
perous section. -
He had to wait for years to get
any return on his money while the
fruit and vegetable growers got Im
mediate returnB on their Investment.
I could mention a dozen, other
roads which do like work In help
ing to upbuild the South, but all of
the Instances would he along the
same line as the above. The Sea
board for years has kept a large
force working 'nil the time to build
up industries and locate factories^
The Georgia, the Queen ft Crescent,
the Louisville ft Nashville, the Mo
bile ft Ohio and others.
The Louisville ft Naahvllle perhaps
did more than any other factor in
developing the great Iron and coal
Industry In Alabama, and yet for
this work we have never heard that
road or Its officials given any cred
it whatever. The Illinois Central
baa for years been foremost In de
veloping the vegetable growing bus
iness In the Mississippi Valley.
When one looks squarely tn the
face of such results as I have point
ed out above and will allow his
sense of Justice to have any play
Whatever. It seems Impossible to ar
raign the railroads as cheats and
common robbers. ,
Every mill that has been .built,
every orchard that has been planted
has enhanced the value of every acre
for miles around .It and millions of
people have shared tn this enhanced
value of property values. And yet
many of these people are.the first
to rise np and clamor for legislation
that wonld cripple the roads In the
great work they are doing, nd.
