THIS PORT’S FUTURE
AS SEEN BY STATE’S
LEADING NEWSPAPER
larder the caption “Brunswick’s
Growth Greatness,” the Atlauta
Constitution, which has been watch
ing tile steady growth of this port
and which always been one of
Brunswick's staunchest friends, yes
terday contained the following edi
torial ;
"in the age of present common
sense, prophecies are at a discount I
There is an exception and it chal
lenges the scrutiny of the keenest
and most Bk; lulous man, for the
simple reason that it carries its own
vei'iflcatlojf.
Brunswick i>~ destined to be the
greatest .coaling station on the south
Atlantic coast, suid one of the most
important commercial po.ts of entry
between New pork um* the Florida
keys.”
"Here arp- the reasons and the Con
stilutluw gives them full detail, stress
bag meanwhile, a remarkable person
ality, isince every man In Georgia
and adjacent states is interested and
since comparatively few of them
have the faintest Idea how near the
prophesy Is to fulfillment:
“Every vessel iv sailing from n
south Atlantic pon for a European
or South American trade must coal
at Norfolk, Va. It may be that the
vessel, liner, merchantman or trump
steamer sails from Jacksonville, Sav
annah, Charleston or Brunswick. No
matter; it must travel several bun
der de miles out of the way, going and
coming, that, it may obtain the fuel
which is lo send It tumbling on the
course to Its destination.
“Why?”
“Norfolk is the only south Atlantic
port with adequate coaling facilities.
That single,.fact gives It a handicap
■fttf'T all of -tho ports .along the line
io Key West. • '
“ft will not however, long enjoy
that pi to Utah I-.- distinction.
“if. M. Atkinson, of Atlanta, is the
president and guiding genius of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlanti
railroad, with its eastern terminus
nosing the Atlantic at Brunswick and
Its northern and western terminal
snuggled amid among the Industries
of Atlanta and among the iron and
steel furnaces and coal fields around
Birmingham. Every age has men
gift-d with what you might call ap
plied imagination. Not the sort that
parades in romances that furnishes
entertainment for the lovers of light
litrature. But the practical brand
that s.ecs industrial possibilities hid
den from the unimaginable plodder,
and that develops the commercial and
inventive genius to transform into ac
tual assets for the financial benefit
of several million people.
"Such a man la Atkinson. This,
not by way of flattery, but chilly fact,
is bearing on the tale In process ol
narration.
“ The restless constructive geuius
of this man has penetrated the possi
bilities that lie in the development of
closer tradfc relations between the
north, the south and Cuba, by giv
ing the products of ail three unre
stricted means of Interchange. The
first step was the foundation of the
Leeline of steamships between New
York, Brunswick and Havana, as trl
but.ary to the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad
"This done he looked around and
saw Ihe meager coaling facilities of
the south Atlantic coast —a lack that
would hamper the development of
commerce, particularly when the pros
pective completion of the Panama
canal opened illimitable commercial
vistas to the crude and manufactured
products of the southern states. He
saw more. He realized ♦he strategi
cal importance of Brunswick, and
was confident it could be made Into
a formidable rival to Norfolk as a
coaling station and port of entry.
“Asa result of this practical vision
his company is now completing at
Brunswick the most perfect
of coaling docks Atlan
tic coast, at a cost of a half mil
lion dollars. They are of the latest
approved construction, using reenfor
ced concrete instead of the old fash-
ioned wood for sustaining piles. The
tracks cf the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic, properly elevated, bisect
these docks at points wnere the
is deepest. Ships can run up to the
piers and by the use of automatic j
devices, fill their bunkers within a
few hours.
“That ia not. all the practical ima
gination of this man has done. His
railroad, now within a few miles of
Birmingham, crosses about fifty thous
and arcres of the Pratt coal fields
admittedly producing as good a grado
*
of steam coal as there is In the
world.
“Here then, is a perfect cyele;
“Fuel, coaling, transportation and
dock facilities.
“And for tae rest: gm
“The rivers and ha. hors committee
of congress hj Just recommended the
expenditure at a half million dollars

wick. That is the completing link.
. “When these imupi|ivements are
made and the docks and wharves at
Brunswick completed—a matter of
but a short time —a tremendous per
centage of the coaling business will
be diverted from Norfolk. It fol
lows inevitably, that the shipping 'bus
iness of Brunswick will appreciate In
ptoportlonate ratio.
“What this means to tho agricul
tural and manufacturing Interests of
Georgia and tho surrounding states
can hardly be computed."

as the Nan Patterson trial the jury
men were allowed to return to theii
