WHATTHEB.&B.HASDONE
AND PROPOSES TO DO
MACHEN AND
HIS ENTERPRISE
♦
WHAT ENERGY AND PERSEVER
ANCE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
IN A SHORT TIME.
THE NEW ROAD A FACTOR.
A Glimpse into 'the Doings of the
Magic Promoter, Who Has Given
Brunswick the Enterprise de Re
sistance of her Life.
Among the enterprises launched in
Brunswick wiuun the past few
months, none have grown with more
rapidity or been more fruitful in bene
fit to the city's commercial welfare
tnan the Brunswick & Birmingham
Railroad. There was a time in the
iong ago when a great deal was pub
lished in loose columns regarding the
R. ft. B. which the casual reader
seemed rather .*iiisiastlc, but as
, ‘ m< * and efforts developed results the
trulh impressed itself upon the people
of this community and the few doubt
ing Thomases became faithful adher
ents to the rule that, now prevails,
which Is “stick to Brunswick and pull
for the ... & b.” Frankly speaking,
a is more apparent now than ever bo
tyre that the It. & u. in its relations
to Brunswiek can well | Je likened to
Ul ° hi,jllca * of Moses who lead
tlie Isrealites out of bondage, for with
out nny sacrilegious intent, the News
f- els I hat facts warrant such compari
son. As is well known to all Bruns
wicklnns, this city had felt the offer,
oi financial depression, raise Doom
Ue*s and all the like ills that follow
such. The people were Discouraged,
some ot the best c.itiens were moving
away and others wei *.iking of fol
lowing the pending exoqus. When
the crisis was on there appeared on
Inc scene. Col. E. C. Machen, of New
Vork. now of Brunswick. He was in
vited down by the people to discuss
matters pertaining to tne welfare of
the huHiumm community, it develop
ed that Ms business eye had already
. b T on ° n Brun * w,ck an< l unfolded a
Plan ....ereby Brunswick com,, he the
eastern terminus of the shAnest trans
continental route conceivable. 8
meant the running ol a line from
Brunswick to can Diego. Cal.. ta,..ug
"> the If on and coal ficlus of Alabama
Uu ‘ co,to " l>'dt of the south and the
main Bolds of (no west and at the
end of the line making connec
tions with tlie steamships thsi ply be
tween Man Francisco and the Eastern
hemispnore. The idea was good and
Impressive, but the magnitude of the
undertaking was literally appalling to
' e average mind. Not so to the ori
ginator o, the idea, and with the con
fidence horn of past successful aeroni-
Id.aliments, he began nls plans ,o
lust connect Brunswick with Blrmlug-
Imm and then go forward. To these
efforts the people of Brunswick rallied
and gave of their support such as
t " e,r ' irci *mstances warranted, while
•and u "dr good will all that they had was
given. Acting on this line, a meeting
was called of all the people along the
proposed route from Brunswick to
Birmingham. Responding ,„ereto
Buy came from the seaboard and the
mountains and at the B. * h. con .
volition held In Brunswick several
..undreo representative men from
Georgia aifd Florida assembled. They
talked B. A- IT. railroad from start to
tunsu and tho common sense view of
tills Practical hut stupendous under
a...ng appealed to the Imelllgence iff
" ,e lK>,ly 1,1 K "'' a way that every
support was pledged to Col. Machen
nnd his associates In their undertak
"'K- Prom that date forward. „ard
oi i and push has cuaracterized the
movement and while at times ohsta
<l s seemingly .insurmountable, have
arisen the people have come forward
and given their moral and s.neere sup
port with such financial aid as they
could and the result has'been that
capital at the north has not failed to
respond witn its share until the pres
cut date when all the rocky shoais have
men bridged the and It -n stands as
"i as any of the old lines that have
served the public for years before the
rcr lUS,y KrOWln °"e was estlh
been "iJsl 1 , t,U ' inc^ batin K Period has
men passed and the B. . b out ot
i.s swaddling elotfies is making g a „
s ; ..des toward its ultimate goal viz
wJu , nSham aml ,llen Snn Biego. it jf
, 11 to no,e what other great advan
tages Brunswick as derived beyonu
the estan.ishment of anew railroad in
us limits. The wholesale and retail
merchants have had opened for them
an enureiy new territory in which to
sell goods. To rough the B, & B. ami
its direct connections, they can now
reach ai! of southern Georgia on a
competitive basis, and through the
--I. & B. he gets the middle and west
ern trace. In short, there are sev
eral hundred thousand people reached
by the B. & B. and its direct connec
tions who have heretofore been en
tirely out of reach of the Brunswiek
merchant.
This of course means a great deal
and its advantages cannot be over
estimated, hut there Is another way
in which the B. & B. helps Brunswick
that appeals directly every thirty days
to the entire community. The News
refers to the matter of pay rolls. In
this line, there are a good many thou
sand dollars monthly, some thirty
odd thousand to he about correct, Chap
is distributed among the, employees
and afterwards finds its way into the
various channels of trade and it is lair
to state that there is not a single per
son In Brunswick who is not bene.v
ted by it either directly or indirectly.
The B. & B. lias been irequently re
ferret! to as tne "commercial salva
tion” of Brunswick anil these words
apply literally to the situation both be
fore aim after, for it is well known to
every one within the confines of this
city that with the inception of the
B. & B. there was a revival of com
mercial fn..ustry here ihat would have
been delayed for years n not forever
hud not the B. A B. come into too
field.
The New,s in keeping with that
spirit of progress that our people are
imlmed with, has followed the Bruns
wick-Maehen enterprise with Interest
and admiration—lnterest for the sue
cess of the new line and admiration
fqr the man who has made it pos.sl
hie. 'these two considermiens have
made this article possible and it. Is
presented to tne people as a brief, but
accurate resume of the situation he
fore it came to gs nnd since its in
ception.
*he News feels that *, is voicing
tho sentiments of all Brunswick and
the people along the entire line when
It says that the Brunswick & Birming
ham Ranroad as compared to Bruns
wick may be likened unto the beacon
lignt tWKf directs tne course of the
mariner when tempestuous waters loss
film upon seas unknown, eep and un
safe; ft lias guided us from out of the
commercial wilderness wherein dark
ness was almost apparent, and with
rays ethereal has directed our passage
to a haven of business prosperity,
wuere liriguter lights shine and whore
eventually a crown for nidustrial de
velopment will bo placed at our shrine.
For Col. Machen tne News wishes tne
fullest measure of success and happi
ness; he Is indeed a genius and to his
indouinrlahle will and progressive
spirit of enterprise Brunswick will
some day erect a monument. Here is
to tlie success of the B, & B.

OUR COPPER WORKS
A LEADING ENTERPRISE
It is the Oldest in the South and
Makes Three-Fourths of the
Stills Manufactured . '
-rt’unswiek enjoys the distinction *
having in her midst the oldest and
probably the best regulated system of
copper works in tne south, and one
that supplies about three fourths of
all the turpentine stills manufactured.
Tin- News, refers to the Brunswick
Copper Works, -*M. A. Baker proprie
tor. the plant of which is located
"t the corner of Wolf and J streets.
. uis enterprise first saw light in the
year 1850 and since that time if has
been in constant operation, covering
in iis magnitude very near four
states, Georgia. South Carolina, Flor
ida and Alabama. This house does
not only deal in turpentine stills, hut
handles everything in connection with
the copper business and has gained
an enviable reputation for the thor
ough high grade of work which Is
characteristic of the product of their
works.
During the summer months Mr.
tlal ■■ emt Ur ’i mDi pt o: . irk
and during the winter his force will
average from 50 to 75 and the rush
of orders with which they arc con
stantly lieseiged, often neccas.bates
both day -kiiil night work. The con
i
corn makes it a practice to use only
the best class of workmanship and
only skilled coppersmitos are employ
ed by them.
In connection with their in ami Lu
lu r* of stills they also make it a
feature of their business to do any
and all kinds of still repairing, and to
this end. representatives or the house
are kept constantly on the road t ik
ing care of this class ot work. The
concern is fully equipped for the large
field in which they are engaged, and
m connection with this matter # it may
be of interest to say that they make
a specialty of nigh crowns, and large
spouts in all the sties that they make.
In order that the openVtor and
manufacturer may become closely lin
ked in the great turpentine industry,
the Brunswick Copiier Works make it
a rule to prepay all freight charges
