CAMPAIGN FOR EXTENSION OF STATE ROAD 1S BEGUN, | (FROM THE AGUSTA HERALD) Waycross, Ga.-—A vigorous cam ’,)aign in behalf of the state road ex tension from Atlanta to St, Marys, Ga., in Camden’ county, has been launched, aud will be continued un til the desired extension is anaccom plished tact. Practically the entir2 harbor has been tendered to 'the state, should the port of St. Marysl be selected as the sea terminal of the state road Besides this offer, excel lent terminal facilities have been ten dered at St. Marys, the right of way through Camdeu county, graded, has been assured, and other counties are getting in line. Charlton "cmmtv} grand jury at regular session next week will reccomend the granting of the right of way for the proposed extension, with grading thrown in. Ware county, already having taken action in the matter, will further con tribute, % St. Marys ofters strong argument as the logical sea port terminai of of the state road. Waycross is on the route, and is working hard for the extension. The following reso lution has been adopted by Camden county: \ ““Whereas there is an effort on foot to build the state road (the Wes tern & Atlantic) from Atlanta on to the sea—in order to preserve the val ue of the present line from Chatta nooga to Atlanta and ia order toin. crease its value and effectiveness and to guarantee to the people of the state of Georga eternal equity inrates and service—the legislature at its sum ‘mer session 1n Jane is hereby mem orialized to authorize the construct ion of the state road on to the sea, and the port terminal is wanted to be St. Marys, and we hereby offer to the state the harbor of St. Marys, Ga, In addition to this offer, the legislature's attention 1s called to the following facts: *That Jacksonv.lle, Fla. is the ob jective point ard convergent ‘termi nal of all passenger and freight busi ness to and from Florida, the West ndia Islands and the Bahamas, and will eventually be the first port & | entrance to the Atlantic from t'r)}j;f Panama Canal when that- waterway | shall be completea, 3 | “Thercfore, in erder for any rait road to do a profitable business to and from the southeastern coast, ft would seem necessary for that road to have a terminal at or near Jack: sonville. But the state road, in ok der to be of the greatest service é) the people of the state, must have‘éfi coast terminal within its borders [t must also be unhampered in tlf scope and depth of its waterfront, and we submit that St. Marys is the last port on the Georgia coast neat est to Jacksonville, and that t frontage and depth of water is th best south of Norfolk Va, Virtual Iv the entire port is offered the stat almost as a gift. - “As the state road enters the staf at its northwestern corner, itiis evw dent that in order to traverce th | largest teiritory of the state.in a & rect line to the sea, it would run the southeast corner, St. Marys, a ‘thereby run directly through the ceg ter of the state, benefiting the entige people of the state by its closebt proximity to all sections possible, for a single hine, » “‘ln addition to the offer made to the state by the St Marys & Kings= land ‘Railroad company, making {a tender of its present hne from B§t Marys to Kingsland with all its water front, practically includ;gg the entire harbor, itishereby agreed and the reccommendation is made to secure the right of way and grade the balance of this‘line to the Charl ton county boundary, and turn same over to the state free of coarge, provided the state will make St. Marys its Georgia terminal or one of them, . : “In view of the large amount of idel 13bor just at this time, and in consideration of tbe financial dc-} pression throughout this state as well as 1o others, it 'is submitted that 1t is @ most propitious time "to‘{ ‘begin this work, in thatl* would net ‘ouly cost the state a great deal less than at scme other time, but it ‘would employ the surplus labor which is now idle and create cug%» ’dence for a reaewal of prospenty, TO THE PUBLIC.
