Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-03-14

Atlanta's long cherished and
fondest dream of an independent
.,ailroad to the sea is about to be
realized.
In fact it is no longer a dream
but an assured fact, the actual
work of construction has begun
and within two years the freight
rate troubles of the Gate City of
the south will be forever solved.
II. M. Atkinson, the most pro-
gressive and daring fnancier of
the south, who has promoted ard
backed and carried to success so
many giant enterprises, is the
man who will build the railroad
to the sea and place the city in
position to demand of the rail-
road rates which shall place the
shipping and commercial inter-
ests on an equal footing with the
shipping centers of the south.
The name of this independent
railroad will be the ATLANTA,
Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road company"and its headquar-
fers and chief Offices will be in
Atlanta. The following well
known gentlemen, whose names
stand for success, are actively
associated with Mr.. Atkinson
and backing the enterprise with
their money and their influence:
w. G.. Raoul, of Atlanta; S. M.
Inman, of Atlanta, T. Jefferson
Coolidge and Gordon Abbot, of
Boston; Percy r. Pine, of New
York and George D. Wadley, of
Georgia.
AN ATLANTA ENTERPRISE.
Ali of which means that the
railroad will be an Atlanta rail-
road, backed by Atlanta men and
Atlanta capital and whose chief
interest and purpose will be to
build up the Gate City of the
south.
Four weeks notice of the in
tention of the petitioners to Sc
cure charter for the railroad is
being given by the insertion of
advertisements in the proper pa
pers and at the end of that time
Secretary of State Phil Cook will
issue the charter. In the mean
time the railroad under the name
of the Atlantic and Birmingham
Railway company" is already
constructed from Brunswick to
Montezuma and the actual work
of survey and construction of the
remainder of the road is in pro.
gress. The road will be extend
ed from Montezuma to Birming-
ham, Ala, and connection will be
made with it from Atlanta at or
near Wodowee or some convent
emit point in Randolph county,
Alabama. The total mileage of
the road including it's branch
connections will be 643 miles.
WHO PETITIONERS ARE.
The names of the following
we'll known gentlemen appear in
the petition for the charter: P

St. Petersburg, March, -
The announcement made in the
name of the government, in the
face of the overwhelming disas-
ter suffered by General Kuropat-
kin, that fresh army would be
raised and the war pressed, and
the naughty attitude assumed by
Russia, may, after all, be simply
a sparring for position which is
the prelude to peace. So far as
the public here is concerned,
peace is the only thing thought
of, the sentiment being that if
diplomacy can now bring the
warning powers into negotiation,
peace will follow. Many diplo-
matists believe that terms accep-
table to both are only possible on
the basis, not Of ordinary peace,
but more in the nature of alliance,
which would distinctly define and
guarantee the positions of the re-
spective powers in the Far East
| in the future. It is certain, how
ever, that Russia as yet has made
no move. Here confusion still
reigns in the higher circles and
the emperor has not yet decided
that he must yield.
Some of the emperor's advls-
ers insist that the government is
| irrevocably committed to the
war, that it would be harder to
stop than to go on, and that ii
the war is indefinitely prolong-
ed, the financial resources OF
Japan are sure to be exhausted
before Russia's, while Russla's
prestige abroad is irreparable
gone if she now bends the knee.

under the laws of this state"
MIR. ATK1NsoN's IDEA.
| The railroad, as will be readi
lily seen, is a perfectly feasible
proposition aud one that Mr.. At
|kinson has had in contemplation
for years. He has worked out
his plans carefully and has left
no detail undone to carry the en-
terprise to a successful conclu-
sion and furnish Atlanta with a
road to the sea, at the same time
giving it third route to Birm.
ingham. The Atlantic and Birm-
ingham roilroad company has al.
ready completed it's line between
Brunswick and Montezuma to-
gether with two important
branches, thus reaching some OF
richest and most important terri
tory in the state. Much of the
right of way for the road from
| Montezuma to Birmingham, along
the route and through the coun-
ties named in the charter, has
been secured and the actual work
of surveying the construction is
in progress.
The right of way for the con-
nection from Atlanta has also
practically been secured for the
entire route, and there is no OBJ
stacle in the way of pushing the
railroad in its entirety to compile
ton. The Atlantic and Birming-
ham Construction Co., with a
capital of $3,OOO,O0O is building
the railroad for the company, and
| is pushing the work with the
| haste of money, skill and expert
ence.
COMPLETE IN TWO YEARS.
The building of this railroad,
which the engineers are to have
| in operation within two years, is
the most important undertaking
affecting the welfare and pros
perity and commercial growth of
Atlanta since the city forged to
the front as a business center,
and promises to do more for At
lanta than any other one enter
prise could do. The road will be
independent; it will be owned and
backed and controlled by men
whose residence and business
and chief interest is in Atlanta.
and it's headquarters will be here.
While built for the purpose Of
reaching a territory not prevl'
ously reached, and which is capa'
Bile of great development, the
road will provide an outlet fol-
Atlanta to the sea not owned and
controlled by other railroads, and
by means of it rates will be cut
to the bone. It will be to the in
terest of this railroad to reduce
freight rates and put Atlanta or
basis where she can get all the
business possible, for the reason
that the men backing it are At
Ilantians, and their business in
terests are here.
The announcement of the fac
that the long-talked-of railroad tt
the sea is an assured fact will
meet with the greatest rejoicing
throughout the state. That tht
Atlantic and Birmingham Rail
way Co., had completed { line be
tween Brunswick and Monte

branches, reaching adjacent ter

hearts and hopes and material
prosperity are wrapped up in
Atlanta is a development with
which the general public has not
been acquainted, and the official
announcement of the full scope
and purpose of the enterprise
was only made Saturday after
noon.
SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT.
The promoters of the railroad
have gone quietly about the work
of constructing the road, keep
ing their real intentions unknown
to the public until every detail
was perfected and not until $50
miles under the name of the At
lantic and Birmingham Railway
have actually been constructed
aud a right of way for the line to
Birmingham and the connection
from Atlanta secured does the
official announcement come.
While the exact towns through
which the road will pass are not
vet announced the petition for
charter gives the names of the
counties in Georgia and Alabama
through which the lines will pass
so that it can be seen just what
territory is to be reached. Aside
from the vital importance of the
railroad to Atlanta as solving the
freight rate problem here, it is
of the greatest significance in the
development Of territory hereto.
fore not reached. The building
of the road means much to the
towns and counties in Georgia
and Alabama through which it
will pass, but it means more to
Atlanta than to any other city.
It means emancipation from rail-
road domination before which the
city has been powerless for years
and by which the shipping and
commercial interests of Atlanta
have been handicapped and re-
tarded for years.
WHAT ROADS MEANS TO ATLANTA.
What the Frisco system did
for Birmingham, when it pro-
iected it's lines into that city,
smashing rates, the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic rail.
road will do for Atlanta. By
this road Atlanta will have indie
pendent routes to the east and
west and freight rates will be
lowered to a point where Atlanta
! will be on fair and suita BILE
basis WITH her rival cities. With
an independent line to the sea
Atlanta can have her own steam
ships plying between Brunswick
and the Atlantic ports and will
be free and independent OF
corporation domination. Water
competition, the power which
never fails to reduce freight rates
to legitimate basis, will have
been secured.
WHO HACKERS ARE.
The men who are backing the
new road are men who possess
the means and the influence and
the ability to make of it a great
success. The line is being eco
nomically but splendidly built
and railroad men say that no 9TH
err road in the south was ever
projected under such favorable
conditions. The gentlemen back
ing the enterprise announce that
they are building an independent
road and that they propose to
keep it independent. AS long
as this road, when completed re-
mains independent, Atlanta will
be Independent.
