The Two Companies Getting Very
Thick at Brunswick.
Brunswick. Ga, July l9.-President
Machen of the Brunswick and Bir-
bingham will reach Brunswick to-mor-
row, and it is expected that traffic ar
engagements with the Seaboard Air
Line will be Immediately commenced.
The visit here yesterday of Division
Passenger Agent Butler of the Sea
board is understood to have resulted
very satisfactorily to all parties con-
cerned, and General Manager McDuf-
tie of the Brunswick and Birmingham,
spent to-day in Savannah on passenger
traffic business. Elegant offices will
be opened at once in the Grand Opera
House building, and occupied jointly
by the Seaboard and Brunswick and
Birmingham. The closest ties now
seem TO bind these two lines, and il is
more than probable that the Seaboard
VIII run entire trains direct into
Brunswick, as soon as traffic exchange
goes into effect. thus avoiding change
at Everett and giving the Seaboard
trains a direct run from their most
northern terminus into Brunswick.
The new deal affords the Seaboard a
chance at the Northern winter tourist
travel into Brunswick as we'll as gives
them a deep water terminus at this
port.
