LOCAL PE9PLESEEM
PLEASED WITH
RUMOR
THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE
FRISCO SYSTEM SCOOP IN THE
ATLANTA, BIRMINGHAM G.
ATLANTIC.

The telegraphic news published in
these columns yesterday morning from
Memphis, to the effect that officials
OF the Frisco system were now look
ing over the property of the A., B. &
A. railroad with a view to purchasing
! 1t, occasioned considerable discussion
among Brunswick business men. and
a large majority of them seemed de-
lighted with the idea of the Bee Line
passing into the ownership of the
Frisco.
Just how much truth there is in the
report of course, is not known. but
1t Is known to be a fact that two of
the experts of the Frisco system are
now engaged in looking over the prop
erty of the A, 3. & A., and it is un-
I derstood that they viii probably visit
this city before the inspection is com
pleted
The Frisco has long desired en- OUT
let on the south Atlantic coast and
now that the railroad has one 1t is
believed that the owners will not, if
possible, let the opportunity pass. If
the A., B. & A. is secured by this
great line it would mean much for
Brunswick. 1t would mean that thou
sands of cars of grain from the west
would be shipped to this port, which
would necessarily call for additional
ships to foreign and domestic
ports.
Railroad men in the city are in
clined to believe the report and they
| think that if the road is sold that the
Frisco people viii surely be the pur-
chasers, although other lines ere
known to be after the road.

FlREMEN CALLED TO FIRE
UNABLE TO FIND FLAMES
Smudqe in Morris Packing Plant
smoders, Emitting Volumes Of
smoke-Water Does Damage

That the old adage, "Where there is
smoke there is fire." is not always true
was shown yesterday afternoon when
the fire department, after search OF
nearly forty-five minutes, learned the
excitement which caused more than a
hundred Japanese to vacate their
rooms on the second and third floors
OF the three story brick building at S3l
Jackson street was the result of an
over-abundance of smoke from the
smoke house of the Nelson Morris
company packing plant on the ground
floor.
The small smudPe which was left in
the bottom of the smoke-house' it
seems, caused greasy SCOT to drop.
This increased the small amount of
smoke to a veritable cloud, which in
some manner filtered through the up
per stories and sifted into the celi-llke
rooms occupied by the Japanese
The hremen were unable to find the
fire, but poured a volume of water into
the huge opening on the roof, and lin
allv subdued the flames.
Later it was learned that the smoke
originated from the pit in the basement
of the building, and after the firemen
had opened the iron doors of the
smoke-h house they found the cause of
ali the smoke. Streams from several
lines of hose flooded the smudge, and
the cause Of the excitement was no
more.
The loss resulting from the damage
to a small number of hams and bacon
in the smoke house is slight.
