ItiCOS AND WESTEBH JUttEOAD 0o. t ,
*** Macon, Ga., Jane 17,1871.)
of the Maoon and Western
_ ) lfroad Company:
I aw reoent action of the Board of Directors
l ': ir Company leasing yonr road to the Geor-
^Ventral Bailroad Company, and the manl-
rJ ^satisfaction of oertain interested parties,
tsjjt my doty to communicate to you the
treasons which have influenced the Direo-
making this lease.
*L\ lease has been made for the interest of
J, company- You are well aVare that there
tso roads connecting with your road at Ma-
* umt one of these roads (the Macon and
S«»ick) through its Northern stockholders,
’been making oonstant efforts to get this
Zander its control; the efforts they have
rt tied as circumstanoes justified, and any-
hot the placing of this road at the dispo-
Kxa control of themselves, is likely to give
Him displeasure. It is my purpose to give
»statement taken from the report of the
Patent of the Macon and Brunswick Eail-
*v7f 0I the last year, and that of the Central
for the same time, showing you the
stock of said roads, and then the net
each—then to connect with each
^^ZSwsoonding report of the Macon and
ft c J°,^Rai\road, which will show yon how
^i^nertv will be affected if leased to either
roar prop* ? ^ what will be the relative
US S, leasef towhatit would be in
introductory, I wiU com-
W* yaeon and Brunswick Bailroad
mence witn „ na i re port: The President
in his report, dated January 1st,
tabular statement dated December
(wMchik intended to exhibit the as-
?2a and liabilities ot the road,) places the lia-
SSSctS company at 17,809,46542 This
Exility is what the road and its assets have to
discharge and pay dividends on.
lie assets of the Company, which consist of
■h, road and improvements thereon, amounts
; §7,S09,4C5 42, thus showing the capital stock
It this amount. Now let U3 see from the same
-port what are the earnings of the road. The
. president's report places the earnings at $428,-
: <2904, and the operating expenses at $293,-
*20 55, and says nothing about the interest to
m paid on the bonded debt, other than to say:
-It till be seen by this exhibit that the net
timings have about met the interest npon the
jrst mortgage bond3, and failed by $118,001 81
,teaying the interest npon the whole funded
jebt.” As this Is unintelligible, I will assume
bonded debt he reports‘is bearing interest,
. tzi as the amount is $3,800,000, at 7 per cent,
nil make $260,000. I will add this amount to
tbs operating expenses and have the account
tins:
Operating expenses $293,720 85
Interest on bon'ded debt, (which is
$3,(40,000 at 7 per cent.) 266,000 00
gaking $559,720 85
Deduct gross earnings 428,429 04
Will leave , * $131,291 81
: as the deficiency for the year’s operations. Let’
tie stockholders bear in mind that for the past
1 two years an effort has been made to connect
tie Macon and Western Boad with the Macon
and Brunswick Boad, and to secure this end the
Northern stockholders of the Macon and Bruns-
Tick Bailroad have purchased more than one-
fourth of the stock of the Macon and Western.
Therefore it is interesting to see what would be
the condition of this road if it was either leased
or amalgamated with the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad, and what influence such a connection
weald have npon the Macon and Western Bail-
road stock.
To do this let us add the yearly operations of
tbo Macon and Western Bailroad to that of the
1L t B. B. B., and show the earnings of the
roads together and oomparo the earnings and
expenditures and see whether the deficiencies
ot the Macon and Brunswick Boad will not ab
sorb the gains of the Macon and Western, leav
ing the two roads in the same condition in which
the Macon and Brunswick now is in—viz: non
paying
The annual earnings as last reported by the
Macon and Western Bailroad are, from all
source? $692,584 87
Expenditures 441,311 32
Lcaring as net earnings $251,273 55
T»ke the deficiency of the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad as shown by the President,
viz .*. $131,129 85
And add the extraordinary expenses
69xepott.ea.by the Superintendent.. 12G.240 4G
And you have $257,370 31
To be paid by the net earnings of the
Macon and Western Bailroad 251,273 55
Which leaves $C,09G 76
Less than the actual expenses of the two roads.
Now I ask the stockholders of the Macon and
Western Railroad, where are yonr dividends to
come from if yon were to lease yonr road for a
joint interest in the earnings of the two roads,
or where would be your security for the pay
ment of the $300,000 of rental, or 12 per cent,
which was offered, it is said, by the Macon and
Brunswick Bailroad Company to the Board of
Directors on the 25tb of May last? Do not the
figures show that, unitedly, die two road3 did
no: last year earn enough to pay the expendi
tures absolutely made? Had you not just as
well have stock in any other non-paying con
cern? Wonld.it be worth ono cent? And re
member that the lease made to the Georgia
Central is for twenty-eight years, which, at
$300,000 per annum, would amount to $8,400,-
00*)—three times the amount of yonr entiro cap
ital stock.
It is true that an informal offer was made by
a letter from F. Emel to the board of Directors
on the 25th ult., in which he said ho was di
rected by CapL Hazelhnrst to offer 12 per cent,
dividends annually, or $300,000 per annum for
the road. This bid was made without any ac
companying authority for the making thereof.
Bo your board, for this reason, and from a foil
knowledge of the condition of the Silicon and
Brunswick Bailroad, took no notice of the offer.
It was their duty to look to the interest of this
Company, and this offer had nothing in it even
to entitle it to respect or consideration.
Now, let ns take the statements of the Geor
gia Central and of the Macon and Western Bail-
roads in the same way, and see how yonr stock
will bo affected. The capital Btock of the
Georgia Central, as agreed upon in the lease
with this Boad is $5,000,000 00
That of the Macon and Western.. 2,500,000 00
Making a tolal of $7,500,000 00
And npon this capital stock the earnings will
have to pay the dividends to stockholders.
Now, take the earnings as reported for last
year, and see what they will pay:
Central Bailroad net earnings $880*971 30
Macon and Western Bailroad..' 251*273 55
X&ing $1,132,244 85
m excess of expenditures, and from which each
road declared a dividend of ten per cent. Thus
you will eee from the combined operations of
the two roads yon have earnings.. .$1,132,244 85
Dividends paid on the capital stock
of the two roads 750,000 00
Hating a surplus to reserve fund 382,244 85.
Contrast the Central Bailroad with its small
capital and fall equipment in every respect,
having all the necessaries of a first class road,
with 5G locomotives andSSO cars and the Macon
and Western Bailroad with its 234 cars and 19
locomotives and all its department in perfect
order, with the Macon and Brunswick Bailroad
whose official report showalS locomotives and
I suppose perhaps 200 cars (no mention being
made concerning the same) as their equipment
to do their business.
These estimates have been hastily gotten np
for the attention of (he stockholders, and will,
in oonnectionxvith surrounding influences which
induced the measures for future protection to
each road, famish some of (he reasons why the
Directors of the Macon and Western Bailroad
leased that road to the Central Bailroad and
Banking Company of Georgia.
A. J. White, President.
Why Was*t 1—We frequently heard the re
mark at the Fair Grounds on Saturday, that there
was not such an exhibition of ootton presses,
horso-powers and other farming implements as
hhould have been made, considering the fact
that we have several largo manufacturing estab
lishments in the oily. The Findlay Sons were
the only manufacturers of these articles who
seemod dot to wholly igfloro the Fair they
had their cotton presses and Craig’s horse
power on exhibition and in operation, ready
and willing to test their merits with any, or all
othtere that might bo brought out. Why was
this thus ? •». .

The balance of the market is down in sympathy
with Bock Ielands, nearly all unimportant stocks

side of the pool and was unable to-day to raise the
money to protect this enormous amount of Btock
and carry on the projected comer. A number of
smaller brokers, acting for this prominent operator,
were unable to take the stock they bought yeeter-

A Dby Countby.—Prof. Gonid, the superin
tendent of the new Observatory at Cordova, in
the Argentine Kepublic, speaks of the extreme
dryness of the atmosphere in that locality as
follows:
“A bowl of water left uncovered in the morn
ing, is dry at night; ink vanishes from the ink
stand, and becomes thick almost by magio; the
bodies of animals left exposed, dry up instead
of decomposing; and neither active exercise,
nor exposure to the sun’s rays, causes percepti
ble perspiration.’
The Memphis Avalanche gives the following
account of the way Memphis jurymen kill time:
‘Every day a number of men—jurymen—can
be seen busily engaged in playing that game
which Ah Sin did not understand in ono of the
rooms of the Second Circuit Court. It Is very
thrilling to watch the buckets of perspiration
flo# from the marble brows of the players when
the wrong man puts down the right bower.
The South Carolina Legislature at its last ses
sion extended thS limits of the town of Tim-
monsville, so as to firing in negroes and secure
control to the Republicans. At an election un
der th> new charter on June 7th, the entire
Democratic ticket was elected by a large ma
jority.
Dn. H. P. Smith, of Meridelh village, New

OBITUARY.
Died, on the morning of the 19lh instant, after a
very brief illnees, Linda, the eldest daughter of
Cicero A. Tharp.
. How truo it is that death send3 forward no mes
senger to warn us of his coming; -but when we"least
expect it, he catches in his cold and icy grasp the
forms of our most Iovod one3 on earth to take them
forever from our midst. Nearly eighteen summers
hadecattorod their fragrance over her pure head,
when tne Death Angel whispered: “Come Linda
Gcd wants another redeemed soul in Hoaven, ’ and
iiuuufi* wuuicuftuuo ui up uy Liio giorioua promises
or etemity,8bo dosed here eyes ana her disembodied
spirit was borne on angels’ wings to the glorious re-
giona of the Christian’s eternal home.
A few montli3 before her death she experienced
the regenerating influences of tbe Holy Spirit in her
heart, and connected herself with the First Baptist
Church of this city. And in’ the exercise of the
wonderous powers of her religion, not only was her
life made inexpreseably happy, but those with whom
ehe came in contact felt and acknowledged the
reality of the holy cause which she had espoused.
Then let us not grieve for her, and mourn as
those who have no hope, for when we eink beneath
the shadows of eternity, we shall see her dear face
and listen to her angelic voice forever. There
around the great white throne we will unite our
voices with hers in ehonting: “Holy. Holy Lord
God of hosts, Heaven and earth are foil of Thy

THE MOOSE COTTON GIN.
ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF THE GRISWOLD GIN,
FORMERLY AT DOUBLE WELLS.
npHE undersigned, haying resumed tho manufacture of to above Gin, propose to make it what itwae
_L before tho war—The favorite of the South. Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a
sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanical talent in the North
ern shops, in addition to some of the beet workmen from the shop of to late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chas.
Gardner, who served eight years apprenticeship under E. Carver & Co., at Eaet Bridgewater, Maes.,
and who was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells 8hop, from the commencement of the
manufacture of tho Moore Cotton Gin, until its euspeneion, is again at his poet, and will give each Gin
his personal inspection before it leaves the shop.
!n calling tho attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, we deeire that they should notice the nmrove-
ments that we offer, which are substantially as follows:
-A- PORTABLE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclinatien of the Gin Bib or Grate, is used; the object of which is to improve in the
quantity ginned, or lessen tbe quantity and improve the quality of lint. Also, to gin damp or wet ootton
to alter the picking or separating tho lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, or lees lint from
the seed, as circumstances require. We use both the common Boll Box and a Swinging Front The
latter is arranged to let out all tho seeds and hhlls in a moment, and is very easily managed.
THE GIN BRUSH
Wo make, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles are all drawn in by a cord, and the
timber is all selected from the best lumber, well seasoned; ana every Brush is made perfectly-fire and
rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES
Can famish either, as may be ordered. We line them with the best AU or any Machines, pu! np at first-class IRON WORKS, nut up in to beat.style and at price* to
the times. Give us a call before purchasing. We will eell low for CASH.
Are both oscillating and plain,

GIN SAWS.
We make aU the Saws that we uee from the beet English Cast Steel, and of any eize that may he de-
eired. We employ, to superintend and manufacture our Saws, one of the beet eaw-makers in the South;
and our machinery for the manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL.
We are the only eucceetful manufacturers of this important and useful invention—the Cotton Gin,
with the Cotton Seed Crushing Miil attached. It will hardly bo necessary here to aUude to the immense
saving and economical ubq of crashed cotton seed, as a manure. We received a gold medal as a premi
um, from the Fair of to Cotton Planters’ Convention, held in Maoon, Ga., 1860, for the best Cotton
Seed Crushers attached to the Gin Stand, to crosh the seed as fast as it escapes from the Boll. We re
fer to some of the many certificates that wc have on the subject.
TRIAL OF THE GINS.
We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tri6d before it leaves the shop—old or new
ones.
REPAIRING OF OLD GINS.
Wo liavo a complete assortment of the very beet Cotton Gin Machinery ii
pairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters will do well to send in their old Gi
good as new, at a much less cost than a new Gin can be bought for. Send
early.
We are also authorized by Messrs. Findlay’s Sons to receive oxdere for Findlay & Craig’s Screw Cotton
Press, and Craig's Patent Portable Horse Power, and Castings generally.
For particulars, send for Circular and Price List.
