In reply to inquiries addressed to the
Directors of the North & South Rail
road, by the City Council of Rome.
Georgia, the following' information is
given on each point in their order.
The Rome city bonds are not all dis
posed of. By last report of our broker,
63(5,000 were on hand, and not disposed
of. The balance were disposed of.
The item of $100 bond is one of
two $100 bonds received by the Com
pany of David Adams.
July 20,1S72—$25,000^=---65 cents net
July 20,1872- 5,000 69 cents net-
July 20,1872— 2,000 68 cents net
Oct. 26,1872- 32,000—68 cents net
The balance are held by John J.
Cohen & Son, Augusta, Ga., as collat
eral. The amount due to John J.
Cohen & Son by this Company, is
$29,003.07 upon running account. In
addition to Rome bonds they hold
$4,700 city of LaGrange bonds. Pro
ceeds from Rome bonds were used at
Rome. Two thousand six hundred
dollars have been paid on Rome end
for right of way, to following parties:
W. H. Jones- §900 00
Mrs. S. A. Hunt 300 00
J. E. F. Bryant 300 00
H. P. Lumpkin (guardian) 500 00
Widow of J. R. Stephens, dec’d 600 00
As far as our knowledge goes, all are
settled ’for, from Rome to Gibson’s
lands at Cedartown, except
C. P. 'Whitehead $ 20 00
W. L. Ezzell — 135 00
A church property, $20 or $50, (the
Company not knowing exactly, as the
Company has not received the paper).
The Company has letters from Sam.
Bird, Esq., that all the rights of way
have been secured through the county
of Polk, except the above; and Major
Burns makes a similar report for Floyd
County, except the above.
One per cent, for sale of Rome
bonds, was paid to Cohen & Son, on
gross amount of sales. The quotation
of sales, given above, is with commis
sion off, the amount stated being netted.
The contract for grading at Rome,
was 25 cents per cubic yard, to W. C.
Cherry & Co. For rock work, $2 per
cubic yard, and with W. C. Cherry &
Co. For clearing right of way, $400
per mile. It was for actual clearing
out—where no woods to dear, nothing
to pay, only applied to wood lands.
Contract to W. C. Cherry & Co. Noth
ing was paid extra for grabbing stumps
or trees.
The Company knows nothing in re
gard to Mr. Cherry’s sub-contractors,
except what was stated to Captain Scott
in conversation in reply to question ask
ed Mr. Cherry. He stated that he.had
sub-let to divers parties at from 18 to
22 cents, and in one case 26 cents—one
cent more than he got A good deal to
negroes -whom he had furnished, and
to parties who had no facilities for car
rying on'the work, unless he (Cherry)
advanced tools and supplies to them.*
With these parties he was enabled to
have the work done cheaper than his
contract called for.
The company of W. C. Cherry, Mr.
Cherry says, comprises J. A. Cherry,
W. C. Cherry and W. J. Smith. Smith
was succeeded by E. E. Yongc. In ex
planation of the letting of the contract
at Rome, the Secretary and Treasurer
states, that just previous to the com
mencement of work at Rome, he met
Major Burns at Atlanta, who showed
him certain private‘subscriptions to the
road at Rome, which would be forfeit
ed unless the work was commenced
within a few days’ time from that in
terview. Rather than lose the sub
scription, the Secretary and Treasurer,
with the advice of a majority of the
Directors, sent Mr. Cherry there, who at
that time had an organized force on the
Columbus end. That he took the work
at the same price that Lane, Grant & Co.
took the first 20 miles here at
The bid of Lane, Grant & Co. was
the lowest and best that was received
out of thirty, after being advertised for
thirty days; and the Company had no
reason to believe that they could get
any cheaper bid, when but a few weeks
previous, after thirty days’ advertise
ment, Lane, Grant & Co. were the lowest
bidders. At' the time the information
was received from Major Bums, it was
too late to advertise. Cherry was
work on the road at Rome within three
days from the time information was
received, and the subscriptions were
saved. In addition to this, Rome city
subscription would have been void
the work was not being done by Janua
ry 1st.
There are sixteen miles actually gra
ded at Rome, only one gap of 90
feet, in the 16 miles, and work done be
yond that. The right of way is cleared
to Cedartown. Only two and one-half
miles ungraded to Cedartown, which
is light work, but an accurate cost we
cannot give to-day, as the engineer is
in the field on duty. 11.045 cross-ties
delivered which wiU lay over four miles
at 35 cents. The dimensions are 5x6,
eight inch face, six feet long, with heart
5x6, post oak or heart pine. The Com
pany reported at one time 13,500 ties,
but upon an examination of assistant
engineer, by order of Company,
number was reduced to 11,045 by reason
of defective ties, the engineer makini
first report having been relieved.
Upon meeting of Board of Directors
July 3d, 1872, John T. Burns was
authorized to make arrangements for
ties in Rome Division. After a lapse
of some time the affairs of the Com
pany appeared very favorable, and.it
secured very probable that work would
commence at Rome; hence the necessity
for supplying cross-ties, and Mr. Cherry
was directed by the superintendent to
;et the ties at 35 cents, the amount paid
Convention, leaving your body
act in the premises, by endorsing
traversing the same as your wisdom ment of city tax,
might dictate.
In conclusion, I am requested by the
officers of the Company, to say that
their books are always open to infec
tion, and that they will at any time
most cheerfully give any information
in their possession, .touching their offi
cial acts, or the administration of the
affairs of the Company.
Very respectfully,
Dunlap Scott*
From tbc Courier of Thursday.
at this end. That price was very moder
ate here, but may have been considered
high at Rome. Don’t know who was
sub-contractor. Mr. Cherry says, part
was sub-let to John Maddox, afterward
the same was sub-let to John Deiser.
In Polk county, the arrangement was
that Mr. Cherry was to take 10 cents
cash, and the balance in stock for ties.
All sub-let at 25 cents, on Maddox
and Deiser line.
The Company owes to contractors for
Rome work, $1520 at this date.
We don’t know anything about Mr.
Cherry’s affairs with his laborers. Mr.
Cherry states, however, that he don’t
owe a cent to laborers. Besides, if he
does, neither laborers nor sub-contract
ors can enforce a lien, and there is no
such law in- Georgia. So we sire ad
vised by our attorney.
Mr. Cherry says that lie owes sub
contractors about $4100, which has
been arranged for, as is known by one
of your body.
W. C. Cherry & Co. have given esti
mate at $1400 worth of lumber for
trestle. He informed us that S. B. &
Chambers have delivered about 14,000
feet, board measure, of lumber. Has
not yet been estimated by afty engineer
of the Company.
Nothing is credited to constructors
except on engineers’ estimates.

Mrs. Martha Alexander, of Atlanta,
mother of Col. T. W. Alexander, of this
city, died in Atlanta last Saturday
night, aged eighty years. She had
been an exemplary Christian and mem
ber of the Presbyterian church sixty
years.
There were two deaths in Birmingham
on Friday last from what is denomina
ted cholera. The News says it is not
considered Asiatic cholera by the doc
tors, but it kills folks, and in this case
there is nothing in a name. The News
says that there is no epidemic in the
city, and that country people can come
there with perfect impunity.
University of Nashville.—This old
school—established in 1785, is still in
highly prosperous condition. Few in
stitutions in the whole country can hoast
of more distinguished graduates than
this one. General E. Kirby Smith is
chancellor, and all the professorships
are filled with the best talent cf the
country. See advertisement
Banking Business—Change of Firm.
On the first instant, the firm of Coth
ran & Maguire was dissolved by limi
tation and consent. The firm has been
in existence some four or five years, and
we will venture the assertion that no
banking house, in the State has done
more according to its means, in aid of
the financial and commercial interests
of the community in which it is located.
Capt. H. D. Cothran has formed
copartnership with A. M Jackson, late
of Augusta, and the banking business
will be continued by them under the
firm name of Cothran & Jackson. Mr.
Jackson is an accomplished gentleman
and son of William E. Jackson of
Augusta. We cordially welcome him
to the Hill City.
Young .Mens’ Literary and Social Club.
The first regular meeting of this dub
was held last evening at the rooms of
Messrs. Towers and Omberg, and a com
plete organization effected. After the
adoption of constitution and by-laws,
an election of officers was held, which
resulted as follows:
President, A. J. Branham; Vice Pres
ident, C. M. Fort; Secretary, W. S.
Franklin; Treasurer, B. T. Haynes
Critic, K. C. Murray; Marshal, J. R.
Towers, Jr.
The business of organizing occupied
nearly the whole evening. A commit
tee was appointed to select suitable
rooms for meetings, and instructed to
report at the next meeting of the dub.
After the selection of a question for
debate at the next meeting and the ap
pointment of disputants, the club ad
journed to meet on next Tuesday, the
8th inst, at the rooms of Messrs. Tow
ers and Omberg—these gentlemen hav
ing courteously extended to the sodety
the use of their rooms until permanent
and desirable ones can -be obtained.
A regular meeting will be held on
Tuesday evening of every week.
Rome, Ga., July 5,1873.
Hon. W. F. Ayer, Mayor,
Dear Sir,—In obedience to written
instructions, I represented the stock of
toe city of Rome in toe North & South
Railroad Compaq j, ^avention
stockholders, held in toe city of Co
lumbus on toe 2d inst.
I herewith submit a report of the
Secretary and Treasurer, showing toe
progress of toe work, and the condition
toe Company. Twenty miles of
the road have been completed and fully
equipped, and in magnificent condition
—all toe work being first class.
I also submit the answers of toe
Board of Directors to divers ques
tions propounded by your body; and
submit them without comment, fur
ther than to say that I was gratified at
the prompt, cheerful and courteous
manner in which each and every ques
tion was answered.
The proposal’to lease toe Rome end
the road for twenty miles, and for
the period of twenty years, to W. C.
Cherry, the present contractor, was
postponed in deference to toe wish of
your body, until the annual meeting
the stockholders, to be held in toe
city of Columbus on Wednesday, toe
13th of August next.
As it was a question gravely affecting
toe interests of the Company and espec
ially of Rome, I deemed hasty action
unwise, stating that toe object of my
mission was simply to obtain toe infor
mation indicated by your questions,
and not to commit Rome or toe Com
pany to any particular policy, without
mature deliberation; which was very
readily concurred in by. the convention.
In toe Resolutions of thanks to toe
officers, the resolution endorsing toe
answers of the Board as “full and sat
isfactory to ; toe : Convention,” was .also
readily stricken ouV on my objecting
on toe ground that I wished to submit
the answers unhampered by any ex
pression of opinion on the part of the

Attempt to Break Jail.
A desperate attempt to escape from
jail by overpowering toe officers, was
made by prisoners from Haralson
county, on last Thursday. The time
selected was when the jailor, Mr. Jen
kins, in company with Mr. W. D.
Kellet, the sheriff of Chattooga county,
entered toe jail to remove a prisoner
from that county. As soon os toe out
er door was opened, toe prisoners, who
had removed toe fastenings from Jhe
inner door, made a rush upon toe
officers, who, though unprepared for toe
onset, resisted it with such force as to
‘prevent their escape, and after a severe
struggle, to completely overpower and
return them to toeir cells. It was a
well concocted scheme, and great credit
is due toe officers above-named for toe
brave performance of toeir duly.
Professor Proctor’s School.
We have on diveis occasions before
found it pleasant to speak of toe edu
cational efforts of Prof. J. M. Proctor,
and his accomplished assistant, Prof*
J. C. Darlington. The closing exer
cises of toe past scholastic year presents
a fitting occasionto again revert to.it in
terms of our. wannest commendation
and approval.
The educational interests of our city
are hardly enough appreciated. At
least, toe necessity of fostering and
building up oiir home institutions of
learning does' not seem to be felt as
sensitively as it should be. The bril
liant success of toe Rome Female
College, and toe equally gratifying suc
cess of Prof. Proctor’s Select Male High
School has demonstrated toe fact that
our facilities, though ungilded by toe
of legislative patronage, and on-
lined by munificent' endowments,
are nevertheless of an order 'of toe
most superior excellence, while toe
mental capacity of the young material
cannot be excelled, in force and ele
gance, by any. These facts ought to
encourage our people to concentrate all
their efforts'in the building up of our
home schools. There is no. good rea
son why one boy or one girl should be
sent abroad for education.
The exercises of Professor Proctor’s
school were pleasant and eminently
gratifying to all, Several prizes were
bestowed, and. a number of; prigjnql 1 pi
addresses delivered. The valedictory
by Mr. Horace Ayer, was a very credit
able piece of classic composition as
well as oratory. Mr. Ayer, was also
