SUNDAY MORNING. 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.
