THE ATLANTH-GFLF C ANAL
The importance of t.he entire nation of the construc¬
tion of the inland waterway canal connecting the Atlan¬
tic ocean with the Gulf of Mexico, eliminating the treach¬
erous trip around the peninsula of Florida from small
raft and at a great saving to commerce, were emphasiz*
ed by a group of prominent Georgian: before a <pedal
committee of engineer, in Brunswick yqglerday.
It wa a most, ertthushed ie group of representative eit
izen: , memhei . of the Georgia State Canal Conimi
who appeared before the United State engineer: and
they in no li Hess manner appealed for the immediate
utvey and construction of that route which would
ver e outh Georgia and north Florida to complefe the
final link of an inland waterway route from Gape God to
Corpus Ghristi.
Brunswick hould feel it elf directly interc ted in the
proposed waterway route which would open a new trad'
area for the vast territories served by the great Missis,
ippi river and which would bring new commerce, indus
tty and buxines: to this port. The proposed route of the
anal would enter the coast at the mouth of the St.
Marys river at Cumberland sound, traverse the
most, part of Florida, enter south Georgia and pass
•through the Okefinokee swamp and thence along the
(oast, to Savannah.
The effot t* to gain completion of the project is far
from being a it* w one. The first proposal of such an un
lertaking came from George Wa hington, then other na¬
tional leader, and engineers aw its possibilities :i0
even until this present time the government has been
urged to complete the project which would prove to he
even more beneficial to commerce than the Panama or the
Suez canal. Georgia andfFlorida are striving for the
completion of that, "missing” link.
At the pre cut time the inland water route extend:
inun Cape Cod along the Atlantic seaboard to Miami,
Fla., : Dll necessitating a voyage around the Peninsula to
again pick up the route at New Orleans which extend
to Galveston, Corpus Chn.-.ti and Point Isabel. That
routi i. already authorized for construction, but as, the
members of the Georgia commission have stated Miami
become!- a “hopping off place” and the inland waterway
has no projective.
With Die construction of the barge canal across Geor¬
gia and Florida the government would connect two one
hundred million dollar projects, both of which at the
present time do not eliminate the excess cost of travel
around the peninsula and tin- dangers met by small craft
on that lengthy voyage. The inland waterway through
Florida leads no where and there is no leasable route i 1
that state which could he used us, a canal from coast to
coast across tile state. Florida has plenty of water on
both sides and on its tip but lacks navigable streams
across the interior.
The construction of a barge canal connecting the Gull
with the Atlantic will put tin. immediate section of the
nation in connection with the waters of the Mississippi
liver, will accomplish one of the greatest needs, of today
ami will offer the great middle west, the food and miner
; 1 producing center of the United States, the eastern hall
of the nation and the great industrial seaboard new op¬
portunities and possibilities.
Hollis M. Randolph, Atlanta, counsellor for the state
commission, who served a counselor for the Boulder dam
project, arid was a member of the Gape God canal commix
Ion, sounded a must urgent appeal to the engineers. '1 lie
value of the proposed route to the nation was show'll by
the figures offered by Mr. Randolph. It is estimated that
the canal will do more than one third the present busi¬
ness of the Panama (final, would handle 48,000,000 ton
ft eight annually with a saving of $ 0 , 000 , 000 , including in¬
surance reduction, damage to cargo and loss of vessel
in the treacherous water- of Die Gulf. ,
11 Is hoped that the government engine*’s will heed
.
in Die appeal of the commissioners and take immediate
steps in the selection of a route for the canal. It mean
new wealth for the south, new business and has untold
value to the growers, industries and manufacturing plants
oi the nation. Georgia should not cease their effort.-,
but should continue until that century old dream come
to a reulitv
\ GRF VI INDI STRY
When economic difficulties arise there arc two ways to
meet the situation. One 1 by common practice of curtail
mg expenditures and the other is by taking steps to in¬
sure increased revenues. The former does not call for
any unusual effort a a rule, while the latter requires
both vision and icsmmofulnoss.
Retrenchments, while necessary and wise in many in¬
stance- and always when foolish or extravagant outlays
have been made usually imply the temporary abandon¬
ment of efforts in the direction of expansion :m atti
tmle of “resting on the oars”, so to speak, while the
launching of a movement to increase income, vegardles
of any temporary lull in business, is indicative of a deii
ndc purpose to progress despite the presence of unusual
difficulties. And such a disposition certainly is to be ad¬
mired and emulated where possible.
In this connection, it is interesting and instructive to
observe what North Carolina is attempting to do in the
face of conditions that call for the exercise of extraordi¬
nary buxine.- - sagacity. The Old North State ha. been
distinguished for its progressive spirit; has. indeed, pro¬
gressed to such an extent that it now pays to the Inter¬
nal Revenue Department of the Federal Government
mure than any other state in the union with the single
exception of New York.
In bringing about this enormous increase in wealth,
North Carolina has incurred enormously heavy debts and
is faced with the problem of raising additional revenues
or calling a halt in the progressive program which ha.
meant so much to its material progress. And. facing thi
situation, it is taking definite measures to add to its
wealth, which means to add to the ability of its people to
pay. Outstanding in this program of continued progress
i, a well-conceived plan of enhancing the beauty of the
slat, and thereby increasing the number of tourists and
the receipts from this source. Having spent tens of rail
| lions in building good roads, it is now determined to make
i.u appealing as possible the scenes of natural beauty that
lie along the highway.-.
This is a thoroughly practical proposition. Beauty is
something that may be capitalized just as coal or iron
or othei deposits may be. Indeed, the appreciation of
hir,.ity j. so general that billions are spent annually by
those who would enjoy it. To add to its receipts from
.tips cla.-s > the purpose of North Carolina, and it should
jb,. the purpose of every Southern State. Scenery nor
climate have been capitalized as they might be and there
i is not a state in the South but could add to its w ealth by
folding out greater inducements to tourists. -Rome News
