Savannah, June II'. The interest here j
111 the repealed rumors to the etfeet that
t he Standard Oil Company is attempting |
toseimp tliu Central railroad system of
Ueorgia has been very great litis week,,
owing to the peculiar shape in which these
rumors were presented hy a dispatch from .
Augusta stating that Hr. ,/. A. A. West, of j
that city, was a candidate for the presi-j
deucy of tile road, and that he would head |
the winning ticket in the election. You |
liavc laen informed by telegraph of the
fact that it is not generally believed here |
that it is possible for the present control of
the road to he defeated, as the oltloers and ;
directors are well fortified financially. In
deed, it is claimed that they actually
own a majority of the slock, and, if this he |
true, it is not probable that any change
will be made in the management of the
Central system as long as they can hold on
to their stock. The defeat of Iren. Alex
ander bv C’ajrt. Raoul, a few years ago, in
that memorable contest for the presidency
of the Central, showed the hold the suc
cessful candidate had upon the confidence
of the stockholders. Since that time the
management of the road lias been distin
guished by conspicuous ability. Increased
confidence is felt in the present adminis
tration, which has also no doubt added
greatly to its strength in actual voting
shares.
The Central has never been been very
largely a speculative stock. While there
lias at times been a good deal of specula
tion in it. the bulk of it had nearly always
been held a.s investments. Besides the
shares held or controlled by the present
directors there are thousands owned bv
estates, farmers, merchants and small
capitalists throughout the state. Few of
these shares can be bought for anything
near their quoted market value. It is not
surprising, then, that the belief is general
here that if the Standard Oil people or any
other syndicate want to obtain control of
the Central they will have to do something
more substantial than wage a war of
wind against it. It will do them no
great good to depress the stock 10 or 15 per
cent, unless they can buy a very large
amount of it. The assurance iias been
given that tli y could not buy enough to
control the system even if they were wil
ling to pay above par for it. The only
way, it seems, for them to scoop the Cen
tral is to break it down altogether by build
ing a competing line that would almost
ruin its business, and thoroughly disheart
en the stockholders—directors us well as
others. It is very evident that the main
body of the stockholders is not going to lie
easily stricken by a panic, whatever
quotations may he made as the
result of sales of a comparatively
small amount of stock held for speculative
purposes. There are a good many people
in this city who bought Central stock a
few years ago at IK) and upwards on the be
lief that it would follow Georgia railroad
stock to the skies, and who got badly
stuck on it. More than one small fortune
was dropped in the maelstrom or blind
speculation, but a good many buyers, who
put iqi the full value of their stock, and
not margins simply, determined to convert
their little flyers Into investments. Most
of this class will probably hold on now
until the alarm is passed, or until the bot
tom seems to be about to fall out.
In the meantime your correspondent
learns that the contractors are actually at
work on the Savannah, Dublin and West
ern road “In the woods beyond the Great
Ogeechee.” It is said that a ten mile sec
tion of the road has already been cleared
and graded and the work' actually paid
for, while the next section is under con
struction. There Is also pretty good au
thority for the statement that the contrac
tors have very good credit with some of
tlie shrewdest and most cautious Savan
nah merchants, and the belief is growing
that the road will be built, although there
is nearly as much mystery about it as over.
Of course there are very few persons who
know where the money is
coming from to do the work,
and the minds of many of t lie
only partially informed naturally turn to
the great oil company which lues proved
such a power, Its influence extending “ to
the uttermost part of the earth.” It is
asked “ why should the Standard Oil Com
pany want the Central railroad?” It is at
once replied, “ Why lines it want the
world ? Why has it bought out one or two
of the most promising new roads in Flor
ida ? Why does it monopolize the naval
stores business? What is it going to do
with its money unless it invests it in any
thing that will pay and increase its
power?” A thoughtful friend, an observer
of though not a participator in polities,
Raid the other day that it the Standard
people should put their money in Geor
gia railroads, the railroad commission
would very soon he stripped of its power,
if not abolished. “Why,” he said, “Raoul
this event its bonefltto Montgomery would
be incalculable, as it would furnish the
means to settle the vexed question of dis
crimination against Montgomery In the
matter of hauling cotton in all the terri
tory i hereabout.
“The view is based on a supposition that
tlie road will he run by Montgomery par- |
ties, or parties friendly to Montgomery,
who wilt operate it in Montgomery's in
terest in tills matter.
“1 have not talked to any of the inter
ested parties in this scheme of extension,
and the views 1 express are ray own, made i
up from what I have seen in print on the ;
subject, but my belief is that every mile j
the road is extended it will benefit Mont j
gornery's general business interest.” j

The incorporators nre pleased with the j
outlook in Atlanta. Ho far they have made j
no effort in Atlanta to secure a less sub-|
soription to the capital stock than $1000.
They are now confident that Atlanta will
take her full share of the stock.
They have arranged to make tlie pay
ments of installments as follows: One-
fourth in October, 1880; the next in Janu
ary; 1877; the third in October, 1877, and
the last In .January, 1888. Under this ar
rangement they fee! that every friend
of the enterprise can afford to take stock.
The incorporators will soon obtain the
charter, and are very anxious for the con
struction of the road to begin as soon as
possible.

For several months past Eustis, Florida,
has been at a fever heat over another rail
road outlet, and propositions have been
made to several roads, which have resulted
in but little satisfaction to her people. But
now they have struck the right run, and a
company has been organized to build a
broad gauge line from Eustis to Tavares,
to lie known as the Eustis and Tavares
railroad.
The Alabama state board of assessment
of railroads has closed its labors. The an
nual taxation is increased on the Western
railroad of Alabama, the Mobile and Mont
gomery, Montgomery and Eufaula, Geor
gia Auciflc, Memphis and Charleston, and
several others at the rate of about one
thousand dollars per mile, being an addi
tional gross revenue to Alabama of over
seven hundred thousand dollars.
A number of railroads are competing for
the immense amount of liquor that will be
shipped out of Atlanta when prohibition
goes into oflect. Some of these shipments
will go to Cincinnati, Macon and Louis
ville.
It is stated that in a few days the Cen
tral railroad will shorten up the run be
tween Atlanta and Savannah about two
hours. Tills will he done as soon us the
truck has been thoroughly tested and
found all right.

Civilized people will only consent to
trade with us on equal terms. If we shut
out their products by a prohibitive tariff
they will send them to countries where
trade is free, and if we get them we must
pay the middle-mail a profit, and give him
the business of carrying. So the whole
carrying trade that American ships once
enjoyed passes to free-trade England. That
is the matter with the Maine interests of
commerce and navigation, as our practical
merchants and old shiji-builders nave re
peatedly testified in commercial conven
tions, boards of trade and before congres
sional committees. And yet whenever a
mitigation, however moderate, like tho
Morrison tariff, is proposed in congress of
this policy, that has impoverished and do-
populated Maine, every little man of the
four that are left to represent tho state is
on his legs, frantically begging to have tho
process of depletion and decay per

“I don’t know where the extension will ,

length is given to tlie road Montgomery I
will be benefited just that much.
“1 f the road is extended to a connection
■with the P. & A . at River Junction, it will
be the shortest route, in existence, to Flo
rida, and as Florida ships almost every- ]
thing she produces, and receives from out
side nearly ever article consumed hy her
peoole, this route, being the shortest', will 1
be aide to name the rates.
“This is an advantage that all railroad |
men will recognize at oiiee. hut this route i
will have another advantage which will he 1
equally as important, which is: The pro- '
ducts of Florida are of a class that demand, I
that they should be placed in the market
as quickly as possible, and, of course it is !
only reasonable that the shortest route
will take these products to a distributing I
point some time earlier than longer routes.
