DEEP WATER WON 1T.

steel works, capitalized at $l0,00O,000,
through her deep water harbor. At
ter investigating various points Bruins
wick water was decided to be the
deepest and most permanent on the
south Atlantic seaboard and the best
suited for heavy draught vessels.
While we do not envy our little Geor-
gia city i'm the least on her good
luck, her selection emphasizes THE
fact that all southern seaboard towns
are in the line of development, as
northern capital is tending south
ward, as the climate, labor and supply
resources are now much better than
in many northern cities.
Ten millions of dollars is large
gum to invest in one enterprise, and
it viii prove an incentive to other
enterprises, as one generally follows
another.
one Of the drawbacks to Jackson
vine is the lack of deep water in the
St Johns river-twenty-f miles
