ESTABLISH LINE
ON THE OCMUL GEE
-
Macon Chamber of Conn
merce Takes Up the
Subject
WANT TO REACH the SEA
At Meeting Held Wednesday the
Question Came Up and was Dis
cussed at Length by the
Organization.

The people of Macon seem deter.
mined to establish line of boats on
the ocmulgee river between that city
and Brunswick, and at the meeting Of
the Chamber of Commerce of Macon
wednesday the question came I'D and
was discussed at length by the men,
bers, and it now seems that the line
is soon to be established.
Speaking of the meeting the New of
Wednesday says:
Inc question of navigating the Oc.
muigee river, of which so much was
said and written during the summer.
| is again being agitated and proved
the main topic Of discussion Yesterday
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
Inc meeting was well attended and
was in fact the most enthusiastic and
successful one held so far this year,
1t will be remembered that after the
Ocmulgee had been declared nayiga.
Die by experts in that line, arrange.
ments were made with Captain j,
w. Maloy to run line of steam.
boats from Macon to Brunswick and
trial trip was made which demon.
strated the practicability of the
scheme. While the boat succeeded in
reaching Macon with a cargo and re.
turned, no further attempts were made
at the time to navigate the stream up.
on which the government has spent so
much money This was accounted for
by the trouble which Captain Maioy
experienced If aestaintng pilots and
| he aseiaed 70 aaan dpn tus ,proppss&ion.
The Brunswick daily news., 1903-12-04

the year it is now generally conceded
by all conversant with the situation
that the navigation of the river is not
only possible but in fact no difficult
matter,
AT the meeting yesterday afternoon
Captain l. B. English, of the navigation
committee, stated to the chamber that
his committee were considering sew
eral propositions made by responsible
steamboat men and all were anxious
to enter into contracts for the operation
of line of boats to Macon. Captain
English referred to an examination
made Of the river between Macon and
Rawkinsville by Captain Jarvis, a man
well yersed in steamboating and it
was a very fiattering report Captain
Jarvis made to the navigation commit
tee. Captain Jarvis represents the
Florida Canal and Transportation
Company and after careful examina-
ton declared the navigation of the
river between Macon and Brunswick
not only feasible but profitable and ex-
pressed surprise that the movement
Ihad not been started long before.
The captain also spoke of the great
fertility of the country along the river
and declared it rivaled in fertility the
Ifamous lands of the Mississippi del
ta This investigation on the part
of Captain Jarvis was made with a
view OF submitting to the city a prop
l0sition to place a line of boats in
loperation between Macon and the sea.
That the Ocmulgee river was nav.
iigable the year round for boats Of
| 100 feet or more in length, the cap
| tain declared there was no longer any
doubt and said the coditions here
were far superior to those encoun'
| ere at Columbus in the Chattahoor
| -hee. Captain Jarvis is greatly inter
ested the proposition and will in all
probability submit plan to the city
lduring the week for the establishment
of a. regular line of boats from Macon
to Brunswick.

The date of the Appanoose-Da re-

concluded here that Appanoose coun-

alternating in the selection of candi-
date. Davis county, therefore, will
probably not present the name of any

practically selected it's candidate.
