BOOMING THE n. q b. ROAD.

There has been some speculation as 10
the influence behind the projected Bruins
wick and Birmingham Railroad. It seems
from New York special dispatch in the
Birmingham Age-Herald that the inhu-
ence is the Brunswick Terminal Company.
That companys shares are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange. and on Thurs
day were quoted at "A. A few days ago
they were quoted considerably below that
price. The shares have been sort OF
football on the stock exchange for long
time.
The Age-Heralds special says that the
Brunswick and Birmingham has now one
seventy-five miles which separate Bruins
wick from Birmingham. graded, and will
soon have forty-fve miles in operation.
This Is news in this section. Evidently
somebody in New York is engaged in
booming the stock of the Brunswick Ter
minal Company. AS far as we are in
formed the route of the Brunswick ana
Birmingham has not yet been surveyed
has not, in fact, been definitely decided
upon. If we are not mistaken our last
reports showed that a few miles of road
from Brunswick had been graded, and
that enough rails had been received for
four or FIVE miles of track.
The distance from Brunswick to the
seaboard Air Line is seventeen miles.
The supposition is that il villa be some
time before a junction with that road is
made-a considerable time. unless a larger
force is put on the work.
The impression seems TO be conveyed in
the New York dispatch that as soon as
forty-fve miles are completed IL will be
possible for the road to do a paying bust
ness. The author of the dispatch must
have a wrong impression of the country
Railroad men say that it will not be posi-
BILE to get business of any volume under
distance of at least sixty miles The
dispatch says that the road is being rap
idly constructed, and is putting out bonds
at the rate of $4,000 per mile We do not
know of course how fast the bonds are
being put out. but 1t seems TO us that we
published a dispatch from our Brunswick
correspondent a day or two ago. that
they were not yet engraved. The New
York dispatch could hardly have emanat-
ed from an authoritative source

CARNEGIE AND THE BOOK PRINT
Frs

In the opinion Of some Of the news
papers the demand for books Will be so
increased in consequence Of the determina-
ton OF Mr.. Carnegie to put large part
Of his fortune into Libraries that book
printers are bound to have a period Of
great prosperity.
But, as a matter Of fact, will book
printers be benefited very greatly? There
are some reasons for thinking that they
will not be benefited at all. Take. for
Instance, New York. IT is proposed TO es
tabiish sixty-five Libraries in that city. A
novel is published which soon becomes so
popular that everybody is talking about
1t. WIN not at least half of those in
that city who want to read II depend upon
one Of the sixty-five libraries for It?
II may be that the proportion would
not be as large as that, but It is certain
that It would be very large. Each of the
Libraries would probably satisfy the de-
mand OF at least a hundred people for
that particular book. II there were no
circulating libraries a third perhaps of the
hundred would buy the book. While there-
fore the libraries at the outset NAV helm
the business OF printing books, they are
likely to cause a falling off in the de-
mand for new books.
II will. Of course, cost a great deal of
money to provide all the library buildings
which Mr. Carnegie proposes 20 erect with
books. but after they are equipped the
book business will have nothing to gain
from so many Libraries. Neither publish
ers nor authors have any particular rea-
son to feel happy over Mr.. Carnegie's
generosity. They would be helped far
more II he should use the money he pro
poses 70 put into Libraries in establishing
schools in districts where there is a
very large percentage Of illiteracy In pro-
portion as illlteracy decreases the demand
for books increases, but the demand for
books will not increase in proportion as
the number Of libraries is increased.
