THE B. & 3. RAILROAD.
A Difference of Opinion in Waycross
as to the Enterprise-A Rail-
road Man Talks.

Waycross, Ga, Feb. 2S.-Some promi-
nent Waycross people accompanied Pres
ident Machen, Mr.. Edwin Brobstop and
others of the Brunswick and BirminS-
ham Railroad projectors, to Fitzgerald
yesterday.
There are those who have but little
faith in the Brunswick and Birmingham
scheme.
A prominent gentleman said to the
Morning News representative to-day
that, while Messrs. Machen and Brobston
the Brunswick and Birmingham promot-
ers, are great takers, it takes money
to build railroads, and to buy out and
consolidate small lines.
NO risk was rum said this
gentleman, who, by the way
is we'll versed in railroad
affairs, in buying the rail already pur-
chased and shipped to Brunswick, as it Is
a staple article, worth its cost anywhere,
and with the help of the Glynn county
chaingang the B. & B. may be completed
out to the Seaboard Air Line, so as to let
that system into Brunswick and give 1t
harbor facilities there, but I very much
doubt it ever being built any further"
THE Drouaoters of the scheme" he con-
tinued, sare now Paying Waycrose
against Offerman and certain interests
Herewith connected, with a view of ex-
tending the B & B. to the one point or
the other and to secure certain connec-
tions beyond; but as 1 said before, the
want of funds will prevent this material
iZing, as it is not believed that the
parteis interested can be caught with B.
& B. bonds"
The gentleman stated further that it
was the plan to place B. and B. bonds ali
along the proposed line of road, in addi-
tion to donations of Tight-of-way, depot
facilities, etc.
So far as Waycross and Brunswick are
concerned, says this man, little or no ma
terial benefit would accrue to either place,
as they are now connected by the great
Plant System, and the Brunswick has
the Southern besides These towns all
ready have competitive connection with
the coal fields of Alabama, and, therefore.
no new business or advantages can be
secured to either
There are those, however, who differ
from these opinions and express conf
dence in the scheme, and have hopes of
the road being built.

do their utmost to be Of assistance in ex-
tingulshing' the flames.
There was no available water and the
engine was p9werless, so II was brought
back TO the city, while the bucket brig
ade, with water hauled to the spot In
barrels. prevented the spread of the
flames. The fire ran It's course with the
buildings it had already caught. About
half dozen mess halls and as many kitch-
ems and sinks, together with a portion OF
the tables, were burned, doing several
hundred dollars worth OF damage, which
is covered by insurance. The origin OF
the fire is in some brush that was burn
ing on plantation adjoining, and If i.
had been given a half hour longer thc
entire camp would have been destroyed.
