FEAR B. AND B. IS TOO AANDY FOR GOULD
Heads of Three Great Systems Said to Have Appealed to J. P. Mor
gan to Interfere in the Dispositon of This Valuable Property
and Seaport. Negotiations for Sale of Road Fall Through.
The New York Commercial prints
the following dispatch from Bruns
wick. Ga.:
The decision of J. P. Morgan to re
main at Jekyl Island for several days,
while ostensibly based wholly on con
siderations of pleasure and recreation,
is taken in many quarters as having an
important bearing on one of the most
difficult railroad problems in the
southeast. Although no official infor
mation is forthcaming, there are rea
sons for helieying Mr. Morgan was
called in by conflicting railroad inter
ests to settle the control not only of a
railroad but also of a yery important
seaport.
It is known that the Southern, the
Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line are all anxious to purcbase‘
the Brunswick and Birmingham, and
have made repeated and increasing of
fers for the property. It is understood
that as yet all of these offers have
heen refused.
Failing to obtain the road each of
the larger groups of railroad interests
has made persistent attempts to dis
cover the source of the financial
strength of the company, which does
not appear o contaln any wealthy
men. A suspicion exists amoog the!
would-be purchasers that one of their
number is guilty of indirection and is
secretly developing the property. If
so the ruse is a successful one, as the
promoters have met with very little
opposition trom any of the three big |
roads which hope to own or divide it. ©
Because of its low grade and direct
woute from the coal and iron region of
Birmingham to the coast the Bruns
wick and Birmingham road would form |
an important link in any of the three
systems. In addition, it becomes of
importance to the Rock Island since
the absorption of the Frisco in con
nection with the Rock [sland’s ambi
tion to ‘‘dip its nose into salt waber.”i
The other routes from Birmingham to |
the coast are from 42 to 200 milesl
longer. l
The simultaneous presence of Presi
idents LErwin, Williams and Spencer
in this city just at the time of Mr.
Morgan’s arrival gave rise to the re
port that having failed to determine
the source of the Brunswick and Bir
minghzam’s secret support, and pre
ferring a joint occupation of the prop
erty to open hostilities, these railroad
jeaders of the south had askKed Mr.
Morgan to open negotiations for the
road with a view to settling its con
trol.
There was frequent telegraphic
commuuication last night and today
between the railroad officials in this
city and persons in New York, but the
former are reticent as to the purport
of it.
The impression prevails here chat
the larger roads may have become
fearful not only of each other, but also
of the aggressione of the Goulds, Inas
much as by building across from Alex
andria or some other important point
on the T'exas and Pacific to a connec
tion with the Brunswick and Birming
ham the Gould system would come in
to control of an outlet on the Atlantic
Nursing
It is a well known clinical fact
that babies who depend wholly on
wmother's miik never have cholera,
and are exempt from two-thirds
the ailments which afflict infants.
Some inkling to this has checked
the resort to artificial foods and
‘begun to make it “ good form "’ for
every mother to nurse her own
baby when she can.
Some tgy it, and grow weak and
sick under the strain. ' With
others the milk flow is insufficient,
and the poor baby is at last given
over to the tender mercies of the
milkman with his corn fodder, and
stale slops, and worse.
If any mother within ten miles
of our stor® reads this, we want to
give them a hint. Try Vinol
There are many mothers who have
found that it enabled them to take
more nourishment, restored their
strength, and made baby healthy,
hearty, and happy.
Vinol not only supports the
mother’s strength but transmits
%o the babe the foundation for a
healthy childhood.
Vinol contains no dangerous
drugs. We are willing to tell you
just what is in it and give you the
money back if it don’t help you.

seaboard and the excellent facilities at
Brunswick.
Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which the shipping of Brunswick has
increased of late years, the fcderal
goyernment has appropriated until the
‘present year only $lO,OOO annaally fo'
its improvement, a small fraction 0
the sum annually spent upon the port
of Sayannah. This year the govern
ment will spend $167,000, principally
in surveying and dredging the bar.
The inner harbor is naturally of suffi
cient depth to accommodate an almost
unlimited number of ocean going ves
sels. .
The plant of the Mohawk Valley
Steel and Wire Co., which lately re
moved to Brunswick, is now under
construction only a short distance
from the water. This company will
give the Brunswick and Birmingham
the haul of 4,000 tons of freight a day
from the Birmingham district. The
railroad contributed $llO,OOO to the
bonus which thecity gave the Mohawk
company.
It is learned from a trustworthy
source that several times negotiations
for the sale ot the road to a trust com
pany supposed to represent onme oOr
more of the larger roads havye reached
an advanced stage only to fall through.
It is felt here that an important an
pouncement will be made within a
very few days.

GEORGIA’S PRODUCTS.
Interesting Statistics Showing
the Value of Farm and Ani
mal Products.
The total value of all animals on
farms in the United States in 1898 was
$2,718,365,561. The crops were worth
$2,988,704,412. The live stock con
sumed $974,940,616 worth of provender
of every description, while $2,023,763,-
796 .represents the vyalue of crops
marketed and kept for the use of pro
ducers. Farm and animal products
represent the wealth, the bone and
sinew_of the majority of our southern
states. These products feed the en
tire country aud find their ways to
foreign shores. Therefore informa
tion concerning them must prove of
Interest to the public.
Georgia’s output of all farm pro
ducts for 1899 was valued at $104,304,-
476. Live stock consumed 312,158,800
of these products, while $92,145,676
represents the yalue of those marketed.
All animal products in Georgia were
worth $17,959,133; forest products, $3,-
217,119; all crops, $83,128,224; acres of
all crops, 8,412,907, It will emphasize
what Georgia is doing in an agricul
tural way to compare the figures given
with another southern state.
The valuation of all farm products
in Tennessee is given at $106,166,440.
Live stock consumed $28,430,310 of
this product. That state’s animal pro
ducts were valued at $35,421,198; forest
$5,086,624; crops, 865,658,618; acres of all
crops, 6.890,550. Iv will be noticed
tuat Georgia only exceeds Tennessee
in the value and acreage of all crops.
[n the value ot all farm products,
‘amount. fed to live stock, animal and
forest products, Tennessee has a good
lead over our state. It is somzwhat
surprising Georgia should be so much
behind Tennessee in the value of forest
products, when we consider the rela
tive size of the two states. We have
17,230 more sguare miles than our sis
ter state, an area larger than: New
Hampshire and New Jersey combined.
We exceeded Tennessee, too, by 200,-
000 in population.

The Peach Outlook.
Prof. W. M. Scott, state entomoligst,
who has returned to Atlanta from a
visit to Marshalville and Fort Valley,
states that the peach trees are fairly
well covered with blooms, and that
ghere will be as many cratesof peaches
shipped from there this year as last,
if it does not freeze again. ‘‘The fruit
growers are very uneasy down there,”’
c¢ontinued Prof. Scott, ‘‘for they know
another freeze now or a little later
will mean total destruction of the crop,
for this warm weather is causing the
t-ees to bloom so fast.”’ -

oil Magnates Backing Both Sides
in the Cotton Fight.
The preset couton situation is a
matter ot general interest in the south
and the ‘“‘battle of the giants,’’ Sully
and Price, one the leader of the bulls
and the other of the bear faction, keeps
excitement at a high pitch. As noone
here is ‘‘in the game” little is cared
just which side triumphs.
~ But back of this struggle of the levi
athans is a watter in which the whole
south is concerned—the control of the
cotton crops in future.
Behind this and the coming consoli
dation of various cotton product com
panies jare Standard Oil men, whose
representatives are backing both esides
of the market, and seeking tocarryout
plans which the Standard Oil Company
has had for years under consideration,
that of controling the cotton crop of
the country throvgh the improved bal
ing process.
Sully, the big cotton bull, is a pro
tege of General S. M. Webb, of Boston,
father of the Planters Compress Com
pany, and Sully’s broker in cotton ex:-
qhange transactions.
Price’s backer'is A. C. Burrage, of
Boston, a Standard Oil man, who bhas
just been elected a directer in Planters
Compress. Burrage backed Price in
cotton last year and profited $1,000,000
by the deal.
Burrage is a friend of H. H. Rogers,
another Standard Oil magnate, who
has an interest in Planters’ Compress,
and they are working to secure con
trol of the American cotton trade.
The scheme of the Standard Oil peo
ple includes controcl not only of the
raw cotton but of all cotton products.
