MANY CHANGES
ARE LOOKED FOR
-%-
General Officers of B. & B.
Here will Probably
Go Out
A.& B. TO MAKE CHANGE
Their New Road Will be Operated In.
dependently of the A. & 3. for
AwhiIe-lmprovements to be
be Made at This Port.

General Manager G. w. Berry. of
the Brunswick & Birmingham, return.
ed from New York yesterday morning
where he hab been attending the
conference between the officials of the
A. 6 B. and B. & B.
He was seen by a representative of
The News yesterday and was asked
for some information concerning the
closing of the deal in New York Sat
urday whereby the A. 6 B. bought
the B. & B, and is to operate the prop.
erty after the first of April.
Mr.. Berry said he had nothing to
say on the subject and preferred not
to be quoted in the matter, as the re.
suit of the recent conference would
be given to the pabHc in the course of
few days.
However, The News has it from
other reliable sources that the deal
viii be effective on the first OF the
coming month, when the b. & b. prop
erty viii be handed over 10 the A. G.
b, 1t is understood that for the pres.
ent the property will be operated in,
dependently Of the A, & b. proper.
that Is TO say that the b. & b. win
not lose its identity in the railroad
world at once. 1t Is the intention
however Of the purchasers to merge
the two lines Just as soon as it is
possible and to operate them with
other lines bought recently under the
one name, the Atlantic and Birming-
ham Railway Co.
With reference to the changes that
are to be made when the B. & b.
passes to the control of the A. &B. on
the first, while nothing of qpecific
nature could be learned it is more
than probable that the general Offices
of the consolidated lines will remain
in this city. 1t is believed that the
shops will probably go to ocilla, Way.
cross or Cordele but it is pointed out
that Brunswick is the logical point
for the headquarters.
The News has it on very good au
thority that it is the intention Of the
a. q L people TO spend something like
"a half million of dollars in Brunswick,
at once in the matter Of terminal ia,
.cilities, meaning wharves, docks and
in fact all classes OF conveniences
for the expediting OF business at this
port.
On the whole. the sale of the road
seems to have oeen well received in
this city and business men generally
seem to think that it will be the
means Of making Brunswick the deep
water terminus Of the independent
line and one that will work for the
city to the exclusion of all other ports
On the South Atlantic,
The News also has it that there will
be complete change in the manage.
ment OF the company in this citv or,
in other words, that the general Of
ilces of the B. & B. in Brunswick will
be superseded by those OF the A. e.
3. at Waycross, the latter removing tc
Brunswick. OF course this does nol
mean that all Of the officers will be
displaced, but it does mean that they
will be given subordinate places in the
service.
These local changes win in all prob.
ability take place on April first when
the road will pass into the posses
sion OF the A. & b.

favorite with newspaper men. But I
have placed one of these fellows on
my black list. and al because of the
way he treated a. friend of mine.
1T was this way: Eight years ago

his pen busy and ground out special

had never known pain we should never
know pleasure And evil is the lower
plane looked at from the standpoint OF
the higher.
We do not understand the nature aud
mode of action Of the forces that are
capable Of condensing a part of the
ether that fills the universe into atoms
of any gas whateversuch as hydrogen
or heliunl, for exampie-then of trans
forming such gas into substances Iilza
sodium, lead, or gold. but the changes
observed in the stars show that forces
capable OF producing such -trausforma-
t5orls actually exist, that they have
operated In the past and still continue
to operate.
How It Will End.
According TO Laplace's theory. says
LIE Bon. ..the sun and planets were at
first a great rotating nebula, at whose
center nucleus formed and from
which rings were successfully detached.
which later formed the earth and other
planets Atzfirst gaseous these masses
became gradually cooled and the space
primftfvely filed by the nebu1a was
occupied only by a few glooes that con-
tinue TO rotate around their own axes
and about the sun. According to the
new ideas concerning the composition
of atoms. We are authorized 90 suppose
that each of them was formed IN a
similar manner, and, in spite OF its
minute size, represents veritabIe solar
system
Yet our nebula. like those which still
continue TO Illuminate the night, came
from something In the present state
of science we can only suggest the ether
as a possible source from which this
something arose. and that is why all in
vestigations lead US back TO consider
ing il as the fundamental element in
the universe. The worlds were born
i'll IT and they VIII die in it. 1t is in
these atomic systems, which were ig-
nored for so long a time because Of their
extreme -minuteness- that We must
doubtless look for the explanation OF
some of the mysteries that surround u.s.
The Infinitely little may perhaps con-
tain the secrets OF the Infinitely great
