Brunswick Herald: The Carondelet
| Yesterday took 800 bales of cotton to New
| York. This cotton was shipped from
Hawkinsville and brought here by the
| East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railway. This would seem to be the fore
runner of better day for Brunswick. 1t
seems to confirm information that the
great and good Herald has been in pos
session of for weeks, to the effect
that the new management OF that
| line intended to split their system
into two sections, and that Brunswick
will become the shipping point for all that
system as far as Atlantal This would
indicate that Atlanta ought to try
to reach tide water via Brunswick
rather than to seek an outlet at Hawkins
Vile. We have already recorded the fact
that Brunswick is said TO be the coaling
station FOR the East Tennessee line, and
this pouring in upon us of all the cotton
and other traffic this side OF Atlanta will
make it necessary for the establishment
of line Of ocean steamers before the
close OF the approaching season.
