Under this caption the cambridge Demo
Graf says:
''ThIs railway will never be completed
until its western terminus is placed ct Pol
lard, Ala. Once there 1t will be one Of the
most valuable railroads In the South. And
the benefit to South Georgia and Savannah
will be incalculable. AS it is, this road lie
the very jugular vein of Savannah. 1t has
done more to build her up than all the other
roads combined. Just think, then, II the
road were extended, what scope Of coun-
try It would open up the trade Of which
would concentrate In Savannah. All of
that immense body of rich country, rs yet
untapped by railroads, lying between Balm
bridge and Pollard, embracing nearly all Of
Southern Alabama and Northern West
Florida would be developed by the road,
and in q few years would build up large
and lucrative local traffic.
"Again, the extension Of the road would
put Savannah and New Orleans In more d.
rect communication with each other, the
Savannah, Florida and Western road form
ing the great Southern short line from the
Mississippi to the Atlantic; and It would be
reasonable to suppose that the bulk of
travel, as well as freight, from the south
west, would 90 over this line. A direct
line of steamers from Savannah to Europe
would be another one OF the results, and
Savannah would become q great city in
deed
awe hope that the management will put
their whole force upon this end OF the line
