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 f->" !* ll\~ h o ebon <ll TJt-imo un XSV U l >l.-14 • itgj LUO UU> out I*v XU uuo 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."

THAW CASE lI^&AWING CROWDS ROOM New York, Jan. 25.—The ffcal of Harry K. Thaw for the wurdV of Stanford White was resumed today. The work in the court room yester day developed one or two feature; out of the ordinary. The first ol these was the order of Justice Fits fierald: ’ lire Jury shall ha kept la strict se clusion until Us members sail have reached a verdict." loci; UP a juror, at the beginning trial is unusual. It was dene at the second Mollapaux trial and perhaps once since, hut even in cases which have excited as much interest as the Nan Patterson trial the jury men were allowed to return to theii homes every night until all tile evi dence was In. No explanation of this was given, hut it is plain that the judge wishes the jurymen kept from possible outside influence. The plans of the defense are still hidden. To the questions asked of the talesmen by the counsel on each side close attention was given yester day to see if they would give any indication of what line the defense would take. But it seemed as though Mr. Jerome was as much in the dark as anybody else and the lawyers for Thaw permitted no word lo pass that would betray their intentions. The district attorney carefully guarded against the two obvious points that could be made against him. Each talesman was -asked if he would bo content to abide by the law as the judge decided it. With great care counsel elaborated the point. Once or twice he mentioned by name the “unwritten law,” more often he spoke of an ethical law, a supposed sense of equity or a higher law, THEY CONDEMN GDV.
