rand-Meetlng efthe Board
of Trade.
The meeting of the Board of Trade on
Thuraday night waa intcreatiug. It was
couipoaed of the leading merehauta and
financiers of the city wba had corno to
(ether for the purpose of taking au ini
lial elep in tha construction of anew rail
raad.
Upou one point there u the moat per
fect unanimity That anew outlet to the
Nmthweat waa abiolutely uecesiary for
tha commercial proaperlty of Macon.
Even more than that: that It waa not only
necessary In the light of future progree
aion. but in order to keep that which we
now peaaeee
Up to tide point wu are all agreed. I Jut
here we are met with two propoaitieua—
with the plan* of two charter*, of two
bodlca of men. The head of one la George
H. Haxlehuret, who la not only oue of the
Oral citizens of Georgia, but oue of the
iihleat railroad men of our State, and a
gentleman whoee heart and aoul ie enlisted
iu the present and future prosperity of the
city of Macon. The route propoaed by
biut and bia company le ten miles over the
Macon and Augusta Hoad, thence through
the country direct aa possible, but say
forty miles, to Covington, a town on the
Georgia Railroad, and theuce by an ar
rangement which has or can ba made
with.that already existing lias, to Atlanta.
This much secured, thence firom Coving
ton to go north over the Air-Line Hoad, or
by anew road to Knoxville. To first
build tbe road te Cevington, and there
take advantage of whatever circumstance
may be presented
Tbe other proposition ie headed
by George W. Adame and by Dr. E
L. Btrebecker. They both announced
tkemsel vee befoi * the meeting of the Board
of Trade, that they had not made nor did
they Intended to make a single combina
tion with any other Railway now existing,
•r which may hereafter exist; that their
•hject and the object of the geeUemcn
with whom they were associated, was to
build a road from Macon, Georgia, to
Knoxville, Tennessee, by the most direct
and practicable route which able eugiu
eere eould And out That their preposition
bailed down, eliminated, end stripped
naked was this
Xu build forty miles ol the road, put it
in operation aud pledge the faith the Com
pany to push the work forward direct to
Knoxville as quickly a* possible /Vo
vMted. The city of Macou would first sub
scribe 1200,000, payable when these forty
miles were completed, aud uot a dollar or
a hand be g iveu er to be executed to them
until those conditions precedent shall have
been fulfilled to the letter.
Tbs remarks brought forth from Col.
Whittle, Trent Mr. Adame and l)r Slto
hecker upon both propositions were in
teaeely interesting, and were listened to
with strictest attention by every cue
present The decision of the Board of
Trade baa been first committed to e special
aomraittea, who were expected to make
their final report endoraiug one route or
the other at the next meeting. It was
knew* that they were ready, but the facts
and arguments brought forth by the orators
were so grave that the committee properly
•eked for farther time, promising that it
would recaive thair immediate attention,
and that so soon aa ready a report would
be made te the Board at a foture meeting
to be called by the I’reaident
To ourselves and ether eilixens at large
whe have so personal feelings in the mat- '
ter this diversity of opiniou is deeply re- j
fretted. We cen’t build but nut road, j
We hsve ne tiae for bnt one. llut one we
must sud are determined te hsve. Not
to CoviagtoD. not to Atlanta, but through
to Knoxville aud from thence over the
-read stw being bnilt to Cincinnati j
With that accomplished all blockades will
he raised for at least ten yaars to come
Short of tills all ideas are fallacious or
sinister.
in order to give the tender a clear and
distinct idea of what this road will do for
ns in a few of the great and leading arti
cles in which we extensively deal we sub
mit the following table of figures : Louis

By which it will be seen that if it were
possible for us to make the existing route
keep up the tariff prevailing to-day, we
would become the grand center if not
monopolize to a great extent the provision
trade of Georgia. No city In Georgia
could compete with ua in prices.
But Ibis of course will not be permitted
by the existing lines, for the moment our
new road is through and this tariff
adopted, they will either have to come
to it, or get nothing but local busi
ness to do. Aud just here comes in au
argument to every citizen who is a con
sumer, who has a horse, a cow or a hog
to feed. Whilst it will not lower the price
of cotton a single fraction —will have no
influence adversely upon a mile of revenue
now derived from the great staple, it will
cheapen Bacon, Corn, llay, Oats, Flour
and every other species of production we
are now receiving from the Northwest,
from Tennessee and from Kentucky.
We are new paying sll per ton for
Tennessee coal. Build this road aud we
are assured by the highest authorities that
it cau be laid duwu here at a net cost of $5
aud perhaps will be sold at sti or $7. We
might go fur ward with such facts mid sta
tistics indefinitely.
But by coniiibiti consent tlio adoption
of one route or the other lias been virtu
ally committed to the Macon Bourd of
Trade. That it lins the matters under the
most serious consideration is eviuced by
the long delay iu coining to a decision.
