by the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic from Brunswick to Birmingham
I* a short line, and when the branch to
Atlanta from the main line at Warm
Bprlngn I* completed a new route to
Brunswick will be opened which will
be but a few mile* longer than the
Southern from j\tlanta to Brunswick.
Notwithstanding this difference of a
few miles, the officials of the new road
believe firmly that tho Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic can operate
trains between the two cities on better
schedule time than the Southern, thus
making a formidable competitive bid
for the passenger business. The new
line opens a comparatively new section
of south Georgia, and will bring It
within a few hours of Atlantu.
