THE HAMILTON WEEKLY VISITOR.
from the Columbus Sun.
NORTH & SOUTH RAILROAD.
Report of Supt. Chipley.
To IV. A. McDovguld , President ':
I have at no time declined any res
ponsibility in my position, when, in
my judgment, my action would re
dound to the benefit of the Company;
but I have accepted each matter as it
arose, cheerfully, and met events to
the best of my ability.
In no special work was I more en
tirely in charge than at Rome; hence,
when I heard murmnrs, in which
even the press took part, at the de
lay in resuming work at that point, I
urged upon you a convention of the
stockholders, that our future policy
might he definitely fixed.
It is now necessary to move for
ward, and to do so successfully every
effort should be energetically applied,
and the utmost harmony prevail.
Our duty to ourselves and justice
to the stockholders required that a
conference should be held, and, after
due consideration, such policy adopted
as would advance our enterprise and
secure harmony of action,
A brief resume of the operations
of the Company will not he out of
place,
Its organization occurred at Rome, i
on the 11th day of August, 1871,;
and on the 10th of December of the
following year the Company had ac
complished the following:
20 miles in full operation; 40 ad
ditional miles graded; 118 surveyed;
80 located; 8$ right of way secured.
The outfit consists of 1 locomotive,
2 passenger cars, 1 baggage car, 4
box freight cars, 12 flat freight cars.
This status was reached during the
space of eighteen months, in the fitee
of extraordinary embarrassments, and
during the lowest financial depression
known since the war. Every sub
scription had to be worked out before
it could he used, which entailed con
stant annoyance upon the executive
officers of the Company and retarded
the enterprise, and necessarily added
to its cost.
But another feature of these sub
scriptions was so utterly foolish as
to almost render them useless. I re
fer to the condition locating the
penditunc in liar,is, Troltp or Heard,
as the case might be. Not being able
to alter these terms, I have pushed
the work along, investing as required,
It will come into use ultimately, but
now stands a large outlay utterly un
available. Cotild tliese’subfloriptions
have been concentrated, the track
would have been to-day at Troup
Factory, if not at La Grange,
The Company commenced running
trains for business over 12 miles of
road, Septeinbor 11 th. December
10th, the run was extended to termi
minus of first 20 miles. From Sep
tember 11th to May 31st the earn
ings were:
Freight $ 5,332 43
Passenger... 0,138 55
Mail service 204 48
$11,735 46
Operating expen es for month of
May, not included C,4G7 73
The earnings only include $857.95
on account of contractors or construc
tion. Operating expenses do not in
clude any of the general expenses of
the Company, but only such expend*
itures as pertain to the running of
trains, maintaining of way, and re
pairs.
The expectation seems universal
that the Company will advance rap
idly, “now that the bonds have been
signed,” and the expression is fung
into my ears daily. It is proper that
this point should be well understood
in the convention to day.
The construction to' May 31st
amounted to $037,022 55
Outfit 19,981 27
Showing total of $057,003 82
The subscriptions to the stock paid
are as follows:
Columbus $200,000 00
IA Grange 25 000 00
Rome 100,000 (X)
Individuals 77,089 54
$402,089 54
leaving balance due of $254,014 28
The resources of the Company have
been applied with the utmost energy,
and, I trust, fidelity, bat no rule can
make one dollar pay in full two dol
lars of indebtedness. The bonds is
sued, however, have been made to
satisfy all demands against the Com
pany except -—-•
To pay this balance and move for
ward we must look to the bonds on
the next section, additional collec
tions and new subscriptions. I be
lieve that the next 240 bonds, with
such aid as can be secured, will com
plete the road to La Grange.
The many expenses for organi/.a
HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA., FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1873,
tion, surveys, right of way, and other
general purposes, incurred in the be
ginning of the whole line of road, will
not he required again.
To consider it so completed with a
bonded debt of $480,000 as An invest
ment, I will institute a comparison
with the M. & G. Road.
■ The gross earnings for 12 months
on that road to May 31st, were
$177,314.06, or $2,215.41 ptr mile
per annum,
This Company, running only 20
miles, finished when the cotton sea
son was well nigh over, ending no
where, and not touching even a vil
lage, before the people had time to
be diverted from their customary
channels, earned for six months end
ing May 31st, $9,709.55, or at the
rate of $970 per mile per annum.
During the fiscal year just ended,
the M. & G, R. R. carried 44,217
passengers. This Company, with 20
miles only completed the 10th day of
last December, has carried 17,451
paying passengers to July Ist. This
number does not include contractors'
hands.
The M. & G. Road traverses a
Very unhealthy country. This road
runs through a section remarkably
healthy and already well populated.
Its salubrious climate and fertile, re
liable lands, with railroad facilities,
will soon render the population dense.
While a large area tributary to the
M. & G. Road is not and can not he
cultivated, this entire line to LA
Grange is green with growing crops,
and swarms with life, to furnish
freight and passengers to the Com
pany’s trains.
The M. & G. Road brought to and
through Colmnhus, for the year just
ended, 23,600 hales cotton. This
road, running 20 miles* With not even
a blacksmith shop on the line, fin
ished after three-fourths of the crop
had been marketed, has brought 1800
bales to Columbus warehouses. .Next
season this Company will double this
over the same line, and when it reaches
a point ten miles north of present
terminus, it will bring 8,000 to 10,000
hales Which now go to West Point,
Griffin and HoglinsVille.
When built to La Gralige, it will
enter into competition for the trans
portation of from (50,000 to 75,000
bales of cotton annually shipped by
Columbus to the sea, with return
merchandise via Charleston and Port
Royal; also for the carriage of 16,000
bales from La Grange for either the
Columbus or Savannah market, or by
the latter route to New York.
To the local travel will be added a
handsome through passenger business
to the capital of the State, New York
and the West, When trains are put
through to La Grange.
These comparisons are made- to
show that it is only necessary to
bring similar good management,
which has done so Well with the
Mobile and Girard road, under its
disadvantages, to bear upon this
road, to secure still better results.
But place its earnings at the same
say 12,215.41 per mile per annum—
and on 47 miles the gross earnings of

a sinking fund, make repairs, or pay

cide is best. The earningß will stead
ily increase each year.
The M. & G. Road has performed
its business with two regular trains—
one a passenger, the other a freight—
together with an occasional extra.
The above estimate for three trains
is a very full one, being at prices in
some respects larger than we now
pay. With three competent engi
neers, repairs will not be a consider
j able item for some years. Three
trains will enable the Company to
perform all necessary ditching, and
do its business.
It is proper to explain that the
Company comes out of the comple
tion of its first section with a small
debt, when the reverse was expected,
due to the large excess of the cost of
the work over the estimate of the
Chief Engineer, Submitted at the an
nual meeting at Rome. His estimate
on substructure, including ties, was

$209,843 90
Leaving a total excess of.. $42,603 90
Solid rock, the only item which
could not be estimated with accuracy*
worked out less than the estimate.
The estimate on superstructure also
fell short over $15,000, but of course
no one could have anticipated the
remarkable advance in iron ; never
theless, the discrepancy added to the
disappointments in the Company’s
financial arrangements.
Suitable station honscs have been
constructed, and the track placed ill
good order. The first six miles of
track was laid with little regard to
the grade line. After Mi’. Harris
took charge* this ceased, but green
banks and the rectification of the first
track laid, imposed upori us a heavy
outlay during a winter nuttsually se
vere upon such work.
No better evidence of the manner
in which the task was performed can
bo submitted, than the fact, that
though carrying 17,451 passengers
over anew road iu winterfile Com
pany has never lost a dollar or injured
a passenger by accident. With gross
earnings of $11,735.46 to May 31st,
net a demand has been made for lost
or damaged goods, and only $2.50
paid for stock killed.
I believe the proposition submitted
herewith will secure the immediate
construction of the Rome division.
With the cooperation of all con
cerned, I think such arrangements
can be made as will advance this end
of the Rue steadily to La Grange,
At ail events, I have given as con
cisely as possible the present condi
tion and future prospects of the Com
pany, from my standpoint. It is for
the stockholders to express their
views and wishes.'
From causes well understood, the
Company has lost several months’
time. I make no question as to the
propriety of those causes, but being
unexpected, they interrupted very se
riously the progress of the Company.
The duty of the hour is, by united
action and renewed effort, to over
come, as speedily as possible, the lost
ground.
At the last session of the Legisla
ture this Company was empowered
to build a branch to Talbotton. Tal
botton has subscribed $25,000 to the
enterprise, and a corps under Mr. F.
H. Harris, engineer, in charge, has
been put iti the field to make the ne.
cessary surveys. I hope, at an early
day, to report such additional sub
seaiptions as will authorize a begin
ning upon the work.
The enterprise will add greatly to
the business of this Company, and
prove a wonderful benefit to both
Talbotton and Columbus.
Of #77,080.54 paid by individuals
upon their subscriptions to the capi
tal stock, cltisens of La Grange and
Troup county have paid $45,833,12;
Harris county, $14,940} the remain
der by Floyd, Heard and Columbus,
with S3OO from Polk. The counties
on the line do not deserve a railroad
until they have paid at least $250,000
more. Troup, alone, has approached
its duty In the premises.
It will require, to complete to

Iron, fish-plate* and spike* 15 000

Hauls county should raise this
amount At once; for, added to amount
already paid, the whole makes a very
insignificant subscription for such a
county. If half the amount could he
secured in approved notes, payable
in the fall, the track could he carried
to Hamilton without the delay inci
dent to such negotiations as will be
necessary for the completion of the
next twenty miles. I commend this
matter to the people of Harris. The
county has now nearly $200,060 worth
of work done within its limits, with a
paid-up subscription from its citizens
of only $14,940. These explanations
will serve to answer the oft-repeated
question, “When will you get to
Hamilton?”
From the date construction was
first commenced, work has never en
tirely ceased. At present a small
bridge fordo is engaged on trestle,
work north of the Mulberry, and
about thiity hands are at work on
the Chattahoochee division, grading
at the river north of La Grange.
The money had mUch better he
nsdd to advance the track; but, as
heretofore explained, the conditions
of the subscriptions give the Coriipany
no control over the matter. It is
therefore being placed where it will
do most good under the circum
stances.
The Company is under obligations
for valuable aid from Mr, John King,
and for services very kindly rendered
by Hon. John Mcllheuny. Captain
Tlios. E. Blanchard has never failed
to place his time at the command of
the Company, and his assistance has
been invaluable.
The employees of the Company
have been faithful, and have served
its interest with fidelity.
I will only add that I think the
Company has renewed cause for con
gratulation upon the gauge adopted.
One hundred miles of branches—
those wonderful feeders of trunk lines,
which develop a country so rapidly—
in addition to 100 miles of main line,
of the narrow gauge, does far more
towards building up a country than
a single 100 miles of an expensive
main stem. The trunk line can he
improved at any time when business
and the financial condition of the road
will warrant.
Already one branch is shooting
from this line, and others will follow,
until Columbus will once more shake
hands with friends who, in years gone
by, hauled their prodUeo 50 to 75
miles to its warehouses. And as
prospers Columbus, so will the entire
litte thrive.

CONTINUATION OF THE ROAD,
Superintendent Chipley stated that
-An Tuesday a proposition was made
by it responsible party to finish up
the next twfeitty miles. The Direc
tors had not had sufficient time to ex
amine it. No doubt it will be ac
cepted unless another, which has
been proposed, be taken. Had it not
been for this meeting, he (Superin
tendent Chiploy) would have gone to
New York-to complete negoUtions
for iron.
The parties making the proposi
tion for completing the next twenty
miles are highly responsible. Only
one of the Directors was present, Mr,
F. Frost, of La Grange, when the.
offer was made to the officers. It
will be submitted to the next con
vention.
QUESTIONS F ROM ROME.
Capt* Dunlap Scott, the delegate in
behalf of the City Council Of Rome,
propounded a nlimber of questions,
to all of which atiswers were given
cheerfully and willingly. She whs
willing to do all in her power to
complete the enterprise. Croakers
are found everywhere.
The questions and answers were
publicly made. The officers told
Capt. Scott their books were open to
the inspection of himself and every
stockholder, and in addition agreed
to furnish written answers to the
questions.
These replies showed there were
no liens upon the road and sixteen
miles had been graded at Rome.
CoL Mobley, of Harris county
moved this: Resolved, That the ex
„ f
planatious made and answers given
are satisfactory to the stockholders
present.
This was however withdrawn upon
the statement of the fSict by Capt
Scott and others that the adoption of
j the reports meant the same things
$2 A Year
The various reports were then
unanimously adopted;
complimentary resolutions.
Judge A. E. Gdx, of La Grange,
offered this:
Whereas-, Superintendent AV. D.
Chipley ha's had the more special
management of the North & South
Railroad, and whereas his report tii
our worthy President, \V. A. M -
Dongald, shows a most gratifying
and encouraging condition of affairs
under any circumstances, and espe
cially with the resources at the Com
pany’s command.
Involved that the thanks of the
stockholders are due, and hereby
tendered to him. Adopted,
Capt. Scott seconded the resolu
tion, and paid a handsome complit
ment to Superintendent Chipley and
President MeDougald,
Col, Mobley moved: Resolved;
that the officers of the Road be urged
to complete the second twenty miles
and push on the road as speedily as
possible;
PROPOSITION TO LEASE THE ROME END.
A proposition was read which had
been submitted to the direhtofs, It
Was t'o lease the twenty r. !V: froiii
Rome to W. C. Che:rj '■>., on
condition that in eighteen nont.Vs
they build and equip them. The
lessees are debarred the right to
mortgage the road or receive State
aid Bonds. The North and South
Railroad Agrees to buy the road at
market value in twenty years, arid id
the meantime, if connection is mado
with it, to control the schedule and
manage it.
it \vds added, the lessees would
obtain money from parties who were
interested in the iron mines in Polk
counly.
By Mr. Kimbrough, of Harris:
Resolved, this proposition be referred
to the Hoard of Directors with power
to act, if approved by the city coun
cil of Rome.
Capt, Scott moved R postponement
until the regular meeting in August,
Director Blanchard spoke strongly
in favor of adopting the proposition,'
because it wits' the only mode to do
anything for the ttotoe end; Capi
talists Wohld advance money to the
Columbus end because it is continu
ous and promised speedy connection
with other roads. The Rotrie Direct
tors approved the measure.
Capt. Scott opposed, because oif
hasty action, and because he did not
know the backers of Mr. Cherry*
lie promised to bring the matter be
fore the Romo Council.
To stop discussiion, Mr. Kim-
brough’s resolution was withdrawn
and that of Capt. Scfttt passed?.'
