v „ v l'ropoieo to Stretch a Line
Veross the Continent—Captured
jlmnswlek by Storm and Now the
Whole Town Swear* by Him.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan. I.—Col. Machen is
up from His sick bed,and once more again
j.j Georgia with millions behind him
pushing the Brunswick and Birmingham
Kail road from this great deei> water sea
to the immense coal and iron fields
c t Alabama. When, Mochen, the indomi
table, came back from Europe this last
tun* ne was the Machen of old—one whom
the prefix "Magic"’ but added to his fame
a ,iJ who as “Lord of Hutchinson
Island," now the Seaboard Air Line’s Sa
vannah terminal, had done his share to
ward the South's commercial develop
ment. Machen had come to Georgia from
the North. He was unknown then, but
in a few short weeks his name was on
everyone's lips In Middle Georgia as he
unfolded plans for the building of a rail
road direct from Macon to Athens. Peo
ple laughed a him and railroad folks said
it could not be done, but the road is there
to day and in operation every hour. Then
again the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
possibilities fell under his eye. He began
to talk that route and people laughed
again, but the railroad Is there, and
Georgians reap the yearly benefits. Then
came the developments of the vast North
Georgia marble quarries and all througn
It we see the magic hand of Machen, who
directed the destinies of these enterprises
involving vast financial capital.
Suddenly Machen turned up missing.
Where he had gone and when he would
return no one down in these parts
knew. His property was here and those
who had It in control were rapidly letting
it go to ruin. Thousands upon thou
sands of dollars of unpaid bills were be
ing piled up against the then Macon and
Covington, now Macon and Northern
Railroad. The road was placed Ir. the
hands of a receiver and the cry went up
for Machen. Machen was then in Europe
and the financiers of >h£, JiastJound him.
They explained the status and asked
Machen what he could do to save their
money.
"Take the Macon and Covington out
of The hands of the receiver and turn it
over to me untrammelled and I wdll see
that its debts ere paid dollar for dollar."
The financiers proposed this to the cred
itors. The creditors refused, but said to
Machen, who by this time had hastened
home from his London home and was
then in New York. They said “If you will
pay us 25 cents on the dollar we will turn
the road over to you and release to you
all our claims. This was from such
firms as the Tidewater Steel Company,
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the
Rogers Locomotive Works, the richest
end largest firms of their kind In the
world. Machen laughed at them and re
plied in substance: "The Macon and Cov
ington owes you three a total of $330,000.
If you will take that road out of the re
reiver’s hands and turn it over to me I
will pay you dollar for dollar, but I will
not compromise with you at any price.
My debts are worth their face value with
interest." The creditors came to Mach
en’s terms. Within ninety days Machen
had paid the firms named above, and all
other creditors 100 cents on the dollar
wTTn interest.
This is a brief extract from the history
of the man that is now building a rail
road from Brunswick to Birmingham,
who has millions at his back and whose
ultimate aim is to stretch a line aeroso
the continent, from Brunswick, Ga., to
San Diego, Cal., and sweep through
Brunswick the trade from the Eastern
Hemisphere while he exports through this
deep waiter South Atlantic port the pro
ducts of the South’s cotton, coal and iron
fields and the corn lands of the West.
Col. Machen was known to but a few men
when first he set foot on Brunswick ter
ritory. but when he stated what he was
after and some inkling of the manner of
man that had come among them got
abroad, there was nothing too good for
Machen in the entire town. He went
away and in a few weeks came back. He
knew then what he wanted and pro
ceeded to pick it out. Mayor Atkinson
celled Council 'together and it gave him
all that he asked for and offered more.
Then Machen went back and exhi hied,
to his financial backs* I*4 copies
of what Council had donated to his pro
posed road. The next train out from New
York brought 'Machen agahi. He hit
Brunswick on a bright October morning,
and in six hours had his attorneys at
work getting up an application for a
charter, organizing his hoard of incorpo
rators, and by night had advertisements
mailed to every paper In every county
seat along the proposed route. His incor
porators were men of wealth and well
known business ability in Georgia and
Alabama, headed by Congressman W,
G. Brantley.
Then Machen went North again and
four weeks rolled around. The specified
time for advertising the Incorporators
having expired, the charter was granted,
and the next day Machen was In Bruns
wick again. Twelve hours afterwards the
temporary organization was perfected and
twenty-four hours after the engineer crops
was in the field. Then Machen went to
New York again and the wires out of
that city were kept hot with orders for
steel rails, machinery and other para
phernalia of a railroad construction com
pany. Contracts were closed and men
rushed forward with laborers until on last
Monday afternoon Machen had men at
work throwing up the road bed.

LAKE CITY’S CARNIVAL.
The Confederate Monument to be
Dedicated Friday.
Lake City, Dec. 31.—The list of pre
miums for the Carnival to be held here
on Jan. 21, 22 and 23 has been published.
It contains prizes for live stock, farm
products, best hand-made shoes, fancy
work, and numerous other things. The
Carnival was Inaugurated by the man
agement of the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way, and their exhibitions of various
things from all parts of the country is
something immense. The citizens are
taking a lively interest and it Is pretty
sure that the Carnival will be a big suc
cess.
Stonewall Chapter No. 47 of this place
sometime since raised money to buy a
monument for the Confederate veterans
who are burled in the city cemetery, and
they will hold dedicatory exercises Fri
day. Quite an elaborate programme
has been arranged for the occasion.
The holidays were passed very quietly
by our citizens. No one was killed, crip
pled, or wounded. This is an exception
ally good record. The local lodge of
Knights of Pythias are making exten
sivel for the play “Damon
which they intend putting
on in Ocala during the meeting of the
Grand Lodge, which will be held in that
city some time in February. Their cos
tumes are elegant.
Efforts are being made by the leading
citizens of the county to have anew
court house built. A majority of the
County Commissioners have expressed
themselves in favor of the new building,
and definite step will be taken at their
meeting Monday.
NOT SO MANY TAX DEFAULTERS.
Law Requiring Magistrate* to Fin
ish Lists tiny be Responsible.
Thamasvllle, Ga., Dec. 31.—The Morning
News, in its Issue of Dec. 30, comments
on the large number of tax defaulters
this year, notwithstanding the exception
al prosperity of the country, and calls
for an explanation The explanation is
that the defaulting is only opparent, and
not real. The Legislature of 1899 passed
a law requiring Justices of the peace In
each district to make a list of all parties
who should pay taxes In that district.
This list is then turned over to the tax
Collectors and if the names do not appear
among the returns for that district, he is
sues a fi. fa. Owing to the vagueness In
defining the district lines and also, on ac
count of the owning of property in ad
joining districts by many residents In
another district, while returns are gener
ally made for all the property as if L
all lay in one district, a large number of
people have been placed in the light of
tax defaulters who have really paid their
taxes.

HIS RISE PHENOMENAL.
Mr. Hunch Hus Taken n Great .lump
Within Ten Days.
The appointment of General Passenger
Agent Bunch, of the Seaboard Air Line,
draws the following comment from the
Atlanta Constitution, Mr. Bunch being
well-known in that city:
“The rise of Mr. Bunch In the past ten
days has been absolutely phenomenal.
Within that period of time he has risen
from the position of chief clerk In the
office of the general passenger agent ot
the Southern Railway to be the general
passenger agent of one of the largest
systems competing with the Southern in
the South. ,
"Rumors have connected Mr. Bunch’s
name with the place on the Seaboard Air
Line accepted yesterday, for nearly a
year. But when he was appointed a lit
tle over a week ago to be assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the St. Louts-
Louisville lines of the Southern, with
headquarters at St. Louis, it was thought
nothing would come of the rumors. His
appointment yesterday came os a dis
tinct surprise.,
“General Passenger Agent Hardwick, of
the Southern, was seen yesterday. He
confirmed the stories of the resignation
of Mr. Allen and the appointment of Mr.
Bunch that had been afloat during the
day. He said:
"The resignation of Mr. Bunch was un
expected and comes as a distinct sur
prise. He Is a splendid passenger man.
and the Southern will regret to dispense
with his services. I am glad, though,
that he had found opportunity to advance
himself and secure u higher rank in the
railway service. He will have a broadet
field in his new position.
‘‘A successor to Mr. Bunch as assistant
general passenger agent at St. Louis will
be determined and announced within two
or three days. 1 cannot say now who will
be appointed."
CIBCULAB OF THE W. A. L.
)lr. H. C. Me Fail lien's Appointment In
Officially Announced.
The following circular has been issued
by Vico President and General Manager
George Dole Wadley of the Waycross Air
Line:
"The position of Auditor and Traffic
Manager of this company, is, on this date
abolished, and the two departments sep
arated. Mr. F. M. Hawkins is appointed
Auditor, with headquarters at Waycross,
Ga., and Is the Chief Accounting Officer
of the company. Appointment effective
Jan. 1, 1901.
“Mr. H. C. McFadden is appointed Gen
eral Freight and Passenger Agent, with
headquarters at Wayaross, Ga.. and un
der the supervision of the Vice-President
and General Manager, will have Charge
of all traffic of the company, and will
make all rates, arrangements and con
tracts for such traffic, and will conduct
negotiations with connecting comimnles
in relation thereto. Appointment effective
Jan. 1, 1901.”
New Hilling System.
The Central of Georgia Railway Com
pany has inaugurated anew sj’stem of
billing freight which will result in con
siderable saving to the company, and
may be more convenient to the shipper.
Heretofore when a shipment was made
from one station to another the way bill
was made out by the receiving agent,
the usual copy taken, and the bill sent
along with the freight. On arrival of
the freight at its destination the receiv
ing agent would make out his notice to
consignee, freight bill and receipt, all of
which required considerable time, involv
irg, too, the copying of the way bill. Un
der the new system the way bill, freight
bill and receipt will all be made out by
the agent of the receiving station. This
Is done with copying carbon paper,
through which alone the new system was
made possible. The record 16 preserved
on a tissue sheet, while the way bill is
copied In a press on arrival at Destina
tion and the notice to consignee is thus
secured. Besides the time of the agent
at destination, the company saves the
making out of one way bill, the necessary
tissue copies being secured from the orig
inal. As well as a saving In time there
will result considerable saving In the pa
per used. The plan has been tried at sev
eral points on the Central during the last
few months, and Auditor H. A. Dun was
so pleased with the result that he had It
put into general use over the entire sys
tem.
WOULDN’T rIIOSECUTE HIS WIFE.
Charges Were Wltlulrawa In I’ollfe
Court liy Slicede-r.
Mrs. J. F. Sheeler, the woman who pub
licly whipped her husband near the City
Market Monday afternoon, an account of
which was published in the Morning
News, was dismissed by Judge Hartrldge
in police court yesterday morning, be
cause the charges were withdrawn by
'he complainant. The man wus sorry
that his wife was in the lockup and se
cured ball for her appearance.
William Galloway, who beat his wife,
Gussie, was sentenced to serve 20 days
on 4he county chaingang.
Ben Harris, the negro who celebrated
the arrival of anew century by firing his
pistol in the street, was given 15 days
on the gang.
Carrie Richards and Mamie Benton, the
negro women who cut eath other up on
West Broad street, also appeared for
trial. Carrie, on account of her past rec
ord. was given 30 days, while Mamie was
lei dbwn with 19.
TITUS IN THOI’BLR AGAIN.
Florida Lawyer Arrcuted for Threat
ening to Kill Young Woman.
Howell Titus, a young man who
gained some unpleasant attention several
months ago, is again in trouble. He Is
held at the police station, charged with
disorderly conduct and with threatening
to kill a young woman on Oaston street.
Titus was arrested early last night by
Patro'nan Harry Lange on complaint of
the oung lady's brother. The prison r
stated that the trouble was of a family
nature. Titus was formerly an attorney
in Florida and gained some distinction In
a check transaction In this city some
months ago,
The other arrests by the police yester
day were of little Importance and New
Year's day passed quietly, Indeed. John
Merrlno, an old negro offender, Is charged
with being drunk and disorderly in the
street, while Ella Hudson Is charged with
being disorderly in the store of A. H. H.
Hodon. One or two other trivial cases
complete the lira of those who will hav*
to face Judge Hartrldge tiiL morning.

Rows Narrowly Averted.
According to Savannah’s claims the
Jacksonville Football team, with the able,
If somewhat unusual and unforeseen as
sistance of one of its players, whose part
In the victory was merely vocal and offi
cial, defeated Savannah at the Bolton
' street park yesterday afternoon, by a
• score of five to nothing.
The game was not a nice one. The
Savannah team. In the matter of rag
chewing, was bad enough in all con
science, but Its efforts In that line made
It look like at lot of hundred-to-one shots,
compared to the noise-producing, protest
making, ever-in-evidence experts from the
Florida metropolis. From the misty an
tiquities that enshroud the way in which
baselyall used to be played, the word,
"Judgmen," was dug up and yelled at
the umpire or referee every time the ball
was downed.
The Jacksonville man who contributed
much to the Jacksonville victory was Mr.
Seton Fleming, a member of its teum who
did not play in the game. However, he
was umpire during the first half and
referee the second, and this, from the Sa
vannah players' standpoint, was enough.
Of course Mr. Fleming a desire to see his
team win was quite natural, but Its mani
festation caused violent allacks of “that
tired feeling” almost to overcome those
who are familiar with the game.
Capt. Bryan, of Jacksonville, won the
toss and took the ball. Capt. dußignon of
Savannah selecting the south goal. There
was little wind and practically no advan
tage In the matter of the goals. The
ground, however, wns wet and soggy, cov
ered with pools of w'ater and generally In
a beastly bad condition. The fact that
the ball soon became wet and muddy ac
counts, in part, for the numerous fumbles
by which the game was marred.
When the referee's whistle blew for the
commencement of the first half, Full
back Turner, of Jacksonville, kicked off
to Savannah’s twenty-yard line. Mc-
Intyre caught the ball and with good
Interference made a magnificent run of
fifty yards, carrying the ball back to
Jacksonville’s territory, from which, dur
ing the first half, It never afterwards
emerged.
Bertie Sullivan carried the ball through
Jacksonville’s line for a gain of four
yards and then It was lost to Jacksonville
on a fumble. It came back to Savan
nah, on a fumble, on Jacksonville’s thirty
five yard line. Savannah could not gain
and on the third down, dußignon kicked
to Jacksonville's twenty-yard line.
For the rest of the half the trail surged
back and forth, Savannah and Jackson
ville alternating in attempts > to gain
ground, with almjst uniform lack of suc
cess. In the meantime Umpire Fleming
spent Ills voice in directing the attention
of the Savannah players to the fact that
they were offside and on one occasion
gave Jacksonville five yards for an offside
play on the part of Savannah. In the
meantime also, Jacksonville's left half
back and left end were consistently and
invariably offside in almost every play
that was made. This fact was marked
and commented on freely by everyone ot.
the eastern side of the field.
At'the close of the half, the ball was on
Jacksonville's thirty-five yard line and in
the possession of Savannah. Time, twen
ty-five minutes; score, 0-0.
The second half started with the bail
in Savannah's possession. The goals
were changed and this time Savannah de
fended that on the north side of the
field. Mclntyre kicked off to Jackson
ville’s twenty-yard line and the Jackson
ville man who caught the ball was down
ed almost In his tracks.
Jacksonville used the tackle-back for
mation. made famous by tne team of uio
University of Pennsylvania, with good
effect, buit its other tricks were too old to
be used with much advantage and almost
invariably resulted In lost ground. Bryan
carried the ball around Savannah’s right
end for eight yards and with other suc
cessful line attacks it was carried down
the field. Much of this time the ball wus
fought for in a puddle of water, that ren
dered good playing a matter of almost
total impossibility.
The ball was about the center of the
field when Jacksonville punted. Under
ordinary circumstances It would have been
an easy catch, but the ball was wet and
slippery from the mud and water, and
dußignon fumbled It. A Jacksonville
man fell on the ball. This was on Savan
nah’s thirty-yard line.
From the thirty-yard line Fullback
Turner of Jacksonville attempted a goal
from the field and came very near making
it. The ball struck one of the posts of the
goal and rolled out of bounds, on the side
of the Held. It was Savannah’s ball on
her five-yard line. She lost it on a fum
ble. With but thirty seconds yet to play,
the ball was passed back to Bryan and he
carried it through the line. Then came
the incident that, according to the ref
eree’s decision, gave Jacksonville the
game. The umpire and referee had
changed places for the second half, and
Mr. Fleming of Jacksonville was filling the
latter position.
According to the claims of well-known
Savannah mefi and Umpire Mclntyre, the
ball was downed eight inches before the
line was reached. After it had ceased
to move Bfyan. according to this evidence,
pushed It across the line. Referee Flem
ing said it was a touchdown. He ak
cowledged, however, that he had not seen
the ball when it was downed, and that
he based his decision entirely upon the
position It occupied when he reached the
spot.
There was a wild clamor and three or
four incipient fights on account of this
incident, and the Savannah men refused
to acknowledge that they had been de
feated. Time was up and Jacksonville did
not try for a goal. Time, twenty min
utes; score, s—o.
The protest of the Savannah players
avails them nothtns. ns the derision of
the referee in such matters Is final.
In one of the scrimmages that Just pre
ceded the touchdown, Quarterback Huau
of the Jacksonville team fractured his 'ol
larbone and was borne from the field.
While his injury Is painful and will ;>rob
abl.v cause him to be confined to hlB bed
tor some time, it is not serious.
The Une-up of the two teams was as
follows:
Jacksonville. Savannah.
Haegy right end Smith

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Matters of Interest to Mhli>i>lng Men
Generally.
The Southern Transportation Company
will shortly begin the building of a
steamboat at its wharves, foot of Aber
corn street. Capt. W. T. Gibson has
about all the necessary material on hand,
and the work will begin as soon as the
hull for the new boat is brought up from
Jacksonville.
Charles Gross will be in charge of the*
work. He has been with the Southern for
a long time, for awhile on its steam
boats, but latterly In the mechanical de
partment. Several patterns he has Just
made for eastings to be used on the
steamer Santee attest his skill In this
work. The wheel center or flange on the
Santee’s port wheel broke recently, mak
ing it necessary to attach another. The
old flanges being solid made it necessary
to remove the shaft at considerable cost.
To get around this and adopt a more
economical plan Gross cast the flange In
halves, which were attached to the shaft
without removing It. The castings are
beautiful specimens, and show skillful
work.
The Custom House at Bath has made
its annual report of vessels built In the
district during the present calendar year.
It shows that shipbuilding, in tonnage,
surpasses that of any year save 1882,
when 42,000 tons were built. This year
the total Is 41,532 gross, of 36,561 net, dis
tributed among thirty-five craft. The
individual cruft were as follows: One ship,
gross tonnage, 3,292; net tonnage, 2,887;
four steumers, gross tonnage. 850; net,
474; fifteen schooners, gross tonnage, 23,-
731; net. 20,864; thirteen barges, gross ton
nage, 13,614; net, 12,205; two sloops, gross
tonnage, 45; net, 31.
The government has purchased the
schooner Fulmouth for the use of the
United States Marine Hospital Service,
and it is now being transformed into a
floating hospital and disinfecting plant for
service in the West Indies. The owners
of the craft received $5,050. The Fal
mouth recently stranded near Cape Hen
lopen and after remaining fast for sev
eral month* was floated and towed to
Cooper’s Point, Camden.
The schooner S. P. Hitchcock cleared
at Pascagoula, Miss., on Dee. 29, with
466,0 ff) feet of lumber for the United
States navy yard at Norfolk. The ship
ment consists of the best yellow pine
lumber and is one of the mOBt valuable
that has ever left the coast.

stock Kiclinnge Seats.
From Boston Market Review.
The rampant character of speculation
Is shown by the sale of two seats in the
New York Stock Exchange—one for $49,-
500 and the other for $51,000.
As there are about $l,lOO fees connected
with the transfer. It makes the price
hang about the 852,000 figure. The Her
ald's financial article Bayr; *
“In 1893 Stock Excharge seats sold a*
low as $14,000. Early In 1898 they were
still below $20,000. During the subsequent
boom In the market the price rose rapid
ly. and before the panic of last Decem
ber memberships brought $41,000. Subse
quently they declined, and In dull days :
of the last summer at least one seat sold 1
for $35,000. During the last few mqntha.
however, the price has advanced with the fj
new demand. Stock Exchange members
were much elated over the increased mar
ket value of their seats, and arc predict
lng $75,000 and SIOO,OOO within a year."
At the risk of a charge of pessimism.
It may be stated that the gambling spirit
can hardly be any better in general busi
ness than it is in private ventures.
