The stockholders of the Macon an 1 Augusta
Kailroad Convention assembled yeaterdaymorn
ing at 10 o'clock, In thaoffiro of the Georgia
Kailroad Company. ^
The President,. Geo. H. Ilaxlehnmt, E«q.,
wa* in tho chair.
rjTie Secretary, Dr. J. A. B. Milligan, read the
I.roeceding of tho laat moeUng.
The Chair appointed Merer*. Moore, Heard
aad Ellis * oommittoe on proxic*.
The commute* reported that 18,109 shares of
aleck were repreaented in person and hy proxy.
The President made his report as follows:
Acoosta, October I’, 1871.
f , I],, sineMivtilert of the Huron anei Augnttn
Ilaitroad Company:
(ixsTi-xmoi—The report of tho operation of
the road for the put year and the present con
dition of the oompany is herewith reapeoifnlly
submitted:
An informal meeting wa* held during tho
month of May, at the time of the Georgia
Railroad Convention, a* yon remember, with
the view of bringing theatookholdersof the two
ronds together, givnig opportunity for inter-
fb*cfie of opinion as to tho question of an
•iiialgsmation of tho lines or a close nnion of
interests- Many reasons suggested themselves
why snob an arrangement should be desirable
( , | KJ |b companies—the Macon end Angnsla
Knilmad, thongh receiving iU first impulse
(rein the city of Augusta, having subsequently
been filtered and it may lie Raid, having been
completed by tho Georgia Kailroad Company.
Owing to the healed debate on the subject of
the Btate lined lease, which absorbed tho atten
tion of the stockholders in tho Georgia Koad,
and protracted their meeting lieyondthn nstial
I, t ,nir claim to their consideration— our
wishes in regard to a union of tlio two roads—
wire necessarily hastily presented hy yonr
commit lee, and though seemingly moating with
favor from the Convention, were referred for
aelion to Urn Directory. In responao to an in
vitation from A lie Hoard of Directors of the
Georgia Kailroad, at tlio Milas qnont monthly
meeting, a proposition waa prepared and *nb-
mitted l>y yonr committee, agreeing to a scaling
down of onr stock to 00 cents on the dollar,
anti merging llie same into that of tho Goorgia
Kailroad after Ibo lapse of one year.
This pro|>nHilion was declined by their Hoard
on Ihe general ground that tho Macon and
Augusta Koad was in an unfinished condition,
and ila real value based on its earnings not yet
ascertained.
The negotiation* oloaed at this point. Without
stopping to inqntre into tho merits of tlie cite
—whether onratoek waa rated too higher too
low; whether the policy of Ibo directory was
right or wrong—it is suiUciont for ns to know
that no moaanros looking to an amalgamation
of the two Blocks can be carried at present, and
that we mnat look to the development of the
lmsinoa* of onr road and its economical man -
agement as tho only means of giving value to
onr property.
Not anticipating that Iho road would bo thrown
npon its own resources, and ho forced to rely
on its earnings aa tho limit to ita expenditures,
bat believing that tho Georgia Kailroad would
take the road on sums terms, and if no, wonld
desire an improvement In ita track and roadway,
a heavy outlay was made for Ibo purpose of
snob improvement. The funds wore generously
provided by that oompanv, hut as Ihe debt was
entailed, with no immediate prospeot for pay-
nient, it wu considered proper to suspend far
ther work. AH further works of improvement
ami ,tonal ruction have consequently been
stopped. Those expenditures lind been about
four thousand dollars per month, and thus much
wholly beyond Iho earnings.
A great improvement in the earnings will l>e
experienced by a reoent and final adjustment of
tlio proportionate rates of freights, to he paid
to our road by tho Georgia Koad for all freights
parsing over both lines. The lhrongb rates alone
are affected, ihe local remaining unchanged.
From aearefnl review of thoflgures, it is believed
that this will give an increase of fnlly three
thousand dollars per month.
With this improvement and reduction in ox-
penditures ns above, the statement of tho work
ings of the road will stand as follows:
Earnings from January 1,1S71. to Octo
ber 1,1871, nioo month* aa per report
Superintendent end Auditor $ fit,803 39
Increase as per adjusted rate* 97,000 00
88,803 39
05,915 00
Total earning* for nine month*
Operating expense* for nine months...
Net earning* 22,857 79
The comings for the next year year may.
w* boiicve, safety be placed at 812,000
per month, making for the year 114,00000
Operating expense*. 87,500 per mouth.. 90,000 09
8 54 000 00
gniUrient to meet intereet on the bended debt.
Tbl* exhibit, under the oiromnstanose, should
lie MUisfeotory and is suiBoiettt to oonvinee m
that, with the consequent improvement which
may surely he anticipated from the growth in
burineea which attends tho opening of every
now line, we may look forward to bettor earn
ing* and a dividend on the slock ere any great
I ngth of time.
It cannot bo denied that tho hones of many,
aid expectations of all have met with disappoint
ment, osused by tho changed condition of tho
various lines of road centering at Mscod, its
western terminus. When the project of the
rosd wss first started, Mseon wss a neutral point
or business^ open to all, and a point through
whleh it waa confidently expected that the rich
cotton fields of Souihweatern Georgia wonld be
reached by the Bonthwoalern and Muscogee
llailroads. The lease of these corporal ion* by
the Central, and alill later tho tease of the Ma
con and Western hy the same company, forever
shots ns ont from all business west of Macon so
long ns the non-intorconrso policy is adhered to
hy the Central, reducing the Macon and Angnata
Koad to a mere local road. To obtain the
fall advantage of tho road to Angnata and
others in interest, an extension of its line
beyond Macon to necessary. Two rentes
offer good resells—one running sontliwost from
Maeon through Kerry and Dooley county to
Albany, crossing tho nawkinavilio, Americas
and Eufsnla rosd. This routoia through tho
strongest lime and beat cotton lands, and over
a oouutry eminently favorable for railroad oon-
ntrnetion. Tho other extension wonld be ^ in
nearly a west course from Macon, running
through Knoxville, Talbotton, Ellerslio, cross
ing tho Chattahoochee river at tho mouth of
Mulberry creek, and striking tbenoe direct for
Opelika. A branch lino of aoiuo twelve miles
from this route, near EUondic, would put us in
connacttaw with Cckunbwa. Tho oouutrv tra
versed by thia line is a fine farming district, of
original oak and hickory forest growth, and tho
line preaont* great advantage* over the present
railroad between Macon and Columbus in every
element of enooeaa for a road.
It may appear idle to discuss the building of
roads in them days of financial prostration of
our country, but railroad* are a necessity of tbe
age, and sooner or later these enterprises will
be undertaken. It i* fortunate for ne of the
Macon and Augusta road that we oau look to
support from obr local business, or tho closing
of these avenues of trade to ua at Macon might
have proved disastrous in tho extreme.
So change has been made in the operating of
our road, it being still run by the Georgia Kail
road Company tinder a oertain agreement, as to
rent of engine*, oars, etc. These rates are con
sidered fair and equitable to l*oth side, and un
til some disposition of the rosd is made it may
ba to the intereet of onr company to continue
the preeent arrangement
In regard to the future, we desire to procure
from the etockholdera an expression of opinion
aa to the future policy of the company. Whether
to continue as heretofore tho arrangement* en
tered into with the Georgia Kailroad. or to look
to connections with any other oompany.
We can but repeat our convictions as to ihe
nltimate value of the road, and onr firm belief
that time will soon demonstrate its worth.
Tho condition of the roidway is steadily Im
proving. A fine culvert of twelve feet span has
been completed over Ivey Branch, aa before
mentioned, and the high trestle—the highest on
the road—replaced by an earth embankment of
some GO,000 cubic yards in amount. This was
an exceedingly heavy job, culvert and embank
ment costing near $20,000 to complete. In ad
dition, the other trestles between VVnrrenton
and Sparta have lwen entirely renewed with new
limber, and carefully put up in tbe best style.
Cross lie* to a Urge number have been pieced
in the track, and altogether the superstructure,
between Gamak and MiUedgevilla, will compare
favorably with any road in the Btate.
Tbe same, bat for the reoent damage from
rains, might also be said of tbe new section of
road between Hilledgevillo and Macon. Tbe
extraordinary fall of rain between them points
soma three weeks sgo caused great destruction
to bridges on railroad, on the dirt roads and to
mill-dams and crops in tbe whole section. We
suffered in common with tbe others, but not to
any great extent. Six covered drains were
washed out, about one hundred feet of trestle
work on I-ittle and Main Fishing creek*, and
some washes on the slopes of tbe embankment
on tbe fiats of Fishing ereek ana in the Ocmal-
gee swamps near Macon. Tbe total amount of
damage received hy thn road waa repaired at a
cost of from $2,500 to $3,000. Details of dam
age are thus furnished to correct various erro
neous reports which bsvo been circulated by
persons who have judged as to the extent of the
damage from Che length of time taken ere re
pairs were effected. The cause of this delay was
threefold— first, necessity of waiting for subs!
denco of waters ere commencement of repairs
secondly, tor small number of bands engaged
on tbe repairs, who were required to be mostly
carpenters ; and thirdly, from tbe fact that the
repairs were made of tUe most permanent char
acter, instead of temporary, as is u really the
case.
The false grade at “ Smith'* Summit" has
been lowered nice feet, and trains now experi
ence no difficulty in passing over this and the
other two exoeptiona) grade*.
To show that the good eondiUon of the track
is no idle boast, it is only neeeaeary to state
that the trains have been running sfnoe May
laat as fast a tchednlo as is attempted by eny
road io tbe Btate and without accident or de
tention of any kind.
Tbe financial condition of the oompany is
shown in the statement of tho Secretary and
Treasurer, Dr. J. A. 8. Milligan, herewith sub
mitted.
Very respectfully, gentlemen,
Gxo. H. HAznxBcnsT, President

On motion of Mr. Line, the reports were
adopted.
The President said that information had been
received that if a fast night line was pnt in
operation tbe Central Koad wonld abandon its
passenger lino from Angnata to Macon, and
wonld arrange for a through line from Augusta
to Coiumbas. Tho Contral Koad would make
no arrangements for through freight, and all of
it hud to tie prepaid, nor wonld tboy recognize
any passenger tickets. This bad been an effec
tual barrier to auy freight from beyond Macon.
Air. Migrate asked how thia barrier could be
removod.
Tbe President thought that making arrange-
■uenle for building one of tho linaa mentioned
in his report would bavo this effect IIo was
confident that tbe road to Opelika would lie
built. In the meantime bo thought that if tbe
Central did not abandon ila noo-ititerconrso pol
icy, the Georgia Koad would refuse to reoognixe
any arrangement made by tbe Central to deliver
freight to points on tho Goorgia line.
Mr. Mngratb asked if a vigorous competition
by schedules and ratea wonld not force tho Cen
tral to adopt a more liberal policy.
Tho President said that ho was in favor of
such a measure if tbe Bonlh Carolina and Goor
gia Hoads would back him.
Mr. Branch suggested that the officer’s reports
should be published.
Tbe President thought that tbs merchants of
Augusta could make the Central a little more
accommodating.
Mr. Branch naked if Ihe road did not pay
would not tbe Central lease it, end pay seven
per cent, on tho stork.
Tho President did not like to contemplate
such a thing.
Mr, Magrath asked if Mr. Wadley wonld pay
the interest on the bonds, operate tbe road and
give seven per cent, to tho stockholders ?
The President tbonght he wonld do anything
to obtain control of the line.
Mr. Magrath did not see why he should do
this when tee stock coold l>o bought np at 40 or
50 cents on the dollar.
The President wss confident that tho road
wonid be self sustaining. It passed throngh a
fine country, and its local business would stead
ily increase.
Mr. Branch asked if the President or tho
company were prepared to make an arrange
ment with any line east to Wilmington or Nor
folk.
The Preaident was prepared to make such an
arrangement.
Mr. Estes asked if freights could not be pnt
down so low that tho Central would have to
knuckle.
The President said it eonld be done if tbe
Sooth Carolina and Georgia Itosds would nid
them.
Mr. Adams thought that tbe road had bettor
not commenoe hostilities with the Central un
less they had plenty of war materials. Ho knew
Mr. Wadley’a pertinacity and a fight with him
would be a war to the death. It could bo con
tinued as long as the Booth Carolina and Geor
gia Hoads furnished the sinews of war. When
they ceased to provide the means the war wonld
end, not by a trace but by a surrender. He
thought that the Legislature could force tee
Central to receive freight from tho Maoon and
Augusta Road. Tho Legislature certainly had
this power.
Mr., Moore endorsed the remarks of Mr.
Adams. The question which be mooted was
agitating the Bute, and tee Legislature would
bare to lake action. Tbe roads might fight as
much as they pleased, bnt tho community had
rights which must be respected. He believed
that some arrangement could be made by the
Presidents of tee Georgia and Central Roads
which wonld settle the difficulty. If tee roads
did not make some arrangement the Legislature
wonld pass a law which wonld trammel the
roads and lilierate tho community. A great
manv States had a railroad law, and Georgia
wonld soon have ono if the roads oontinue
fighting.
Mr. Magrato thought the word ‘'fight" wss
misunderstood. It only meant a vigorous com
petition. A yosr's work wonld make the Central
eager for peace, for the Utter had business to
hurt, while the Maeon Koad had none. It was
not expected that the Macon Road should bear
tho expenses of the figfit. The South Carolina
and Georgia wonld have to aid in the straggle.
Mr. Branch asked if tbe the Booth Carolina
and Georgia wonld not lease the Maoon Road at
six per cent?
Mr. Magrath said tho Sonth Carolina Road
would not.
Mr. King said bo knew the temper of Mr.
Wadley and what a fight with him would lead to.
The Maeon Road would have to give up a fight
with him in six months. A good deal has been
published about tee difference in fieights of the
Georgia and Central, because there was a differ
ent classification. The Georgia Road was really
carrying freight for lees than the Centra’.
Mr. Lano moved to go into an election for
directors. Carried.
Tbe President appointed Messrs. Lane, Estee
and Mathewson, a committee to conduct the
election.
A ballot was taken, bnt when the votes were
about to bo oonnted, Mr. King entered his pro
test against the vote of M. K. Jessup A Co.—
4,000 shares—being received, because the stock
had been improperly issued. The firm had con
tracted to take tee assets of the road and com
plete it according to the original plans by July,
1870. Thu bad not been done, and the oom
pany had been damaged at least $100,000. It
was only finished in the winter of that Tear, and
teen it was ae insecure that aeeidents were of
frequent occurrence and tho reputation of the
road rained. JetanpA Co. did not pretend that
Ihe road was finished according to contract He
regretted tbe matter, because it bad brought
him into oonfliet with two of his best friends—
Messrs. Hall and Haxlehnrst It bad been said
test the Georgia Road intended to depreciate
and bny np the stock and take control of tho
line. This wss not true. He wished the con
tra otors had attempted to ran it as they first
stated. Large repairs had to be nude, and yet
tbe contractors wonld not foot tbe bill, although
they had agreed to do so. They had taken
every dollar teat belonged to the road, and
yet left it unfinished and in debt.—
Tho grade, instead of being forty feet,
per mile, as intended, in some places waa one
hundred and forty. He read the oontract and
charged that it bad not been complied wito.
Tho State aid mania in Alabama had carried
away the labor from tee State and made the con
tract a hard one, bnt this was not the fault of
the road, and tee contractors were all of age.
Under these circumstances the stock should not
be voted. As soon as be found test the stock
bad been issued, he notified the Treasurer not
to allow it to be transferred, and it was-not ne
gotiable. Mr. Jessup had played the tyrant
throughout the whole transaction, and he pro
posed to make an issue with him and take him
by the horns. He did not intend to allow Jes
sup to escape with tee assets of tee rood after
the injury which be had done the oompany by
failing to comply with bu oontract. He be
lieved that Jessup had formed a combination
to get oontrol of tee road, and wished to vote
his stock here to day for test purpose. He ob
jected to this, sod was forced to vote against
his old friends, Messrs. Hull and Hazlchurst.
Mr. Hazlebunt regretted and wa* surprised
at the remarks of Mr. King. He had been the
earliest friend and offioer of the road. Judge
King bad always been his friend, and he eonld
hardly believe that he wonld now charge him
with acting a double part. He gave a brief re
view of tbe history of tee road up to the time
Jessup Jk Co. took the contract. Tbe rosd was
then a dead thing. He and Judge King ap
pealed to the Legislature for aid, and had asked
a negro oommittoe—one of whom went to sleep
at tee most interesting part of Judge King’s
speech—and had gotten State rid to the amount
of $10,000 per mile. This, however, would not
do, sod Mr. King had finally suggested an en
dorsement by the Georgia Road. Finally, tbe
Jeaaup oontract waa arranged with the sanction
of Mr. King. He had refused to be a contract z
nntil urged to it by Mr. King, because an offl.
oer of tee rosd. At a meeting in the City Hall,
tbe oontract and himself had been attacked by
General Wright with tee same arguments which
Mr. King now used Tbe contractors were to
make an immense fortune. Ont of whet 7 Ont
of the stock at 20 cents on tee dollar. The very
thing had now happened which he had then pro
dieted. He waa to be sacrificed in order that the
end* of others might be attained. He had en
deavored to do his dnty conscientiously. He
had ordered the best work put on tbe road,
and it had been boilt in tee strrightest and
beet possible manner. No effort was made
to economise; bnt the beat work, regardless of
cost, was ordered. No effort hsd been made to
googe the company, bnt honest men had done
tee work. Large debts of the company had
been paid. The debt due the Georgia road
aa offsettod by the engines purchased for tbe
Maoon Road, but taken by tee Georgia Road.
The stock to Jessup—4,000 shares—was issued
only three months ago. One thousand shares
had been reserved for a settlement, white hsd
not been obtained on account of the inactivity
of Judge King. For himself and Mr. Hull,
their seedy oondition showed they hsd made no
money. He bad not even drawn his paltry
salary as President of the Company, bnt had
taken charge of the work with a conscientious
desire to bring tee rosd through. Tho rosd
waa finished in mid-Winter under an immense
pressure from Maoon, Augusta and Charleston.
Questions were duly asked when the rosd
wonld be finished, and Mr. Hull finally became
ashamed to walk the streets. Aa soon as it was
finished Mr. Tyler, in over-eagerness, came
throngh with a special train ahead of time and
ran into Judge King. Since that time there
had been a series of aeeidents. Judge King
had blamed teem for things which they could
not prevent.
Mr. King thought Mr. Hizlehnrst’a remarks
irrelevant Ho was not unfriendly to Mr. Jes
sup. He and others hsd favored the contract
because they thought it to the beat interest of
theroad. Jessupbadneverproposed*settlement
with him. Mr. Hazlehnrst acknowledged that
the work was not completed, and that threo
grades on it were of 140 feet instead of 40. A
swamp section on tee Ocmnlgee road was en
tirely unfinished, yet Jessnp bad taken tbe stock,
and was trying to control tho road and leave the
stockholders in the larch. This ho was deter
mined should not bo dono.
The President said the protest could bo en
tered on tee minntes and the election proceed.
Mr. Magrath thought that the Convention
ought to determine whether Jessup A Co.'a vote
sbonid be received.
Mr. Lane tbonght tbo only question was
whether the vote should be received.
Mr. Hull as representing Mr. Jessup’s stock,
did not admit that be had no right to vole, but
waived tbo right for tho present. It had been
voted onoe, and be claimed he had right to vote
it now, bnt waived it
Tbe following gentlemen were declared elec
ted Directors, receiving tho following vote:
Chart. Eaton, 11,288; T. G. Barrett, 11,288; Pet.
Welsh, 11,288; N. McGhee, 11,288; a D. Heard,

Lite or the Fuses is in tbe Blood.”—Tbo
blood circulates throughout the eyatem, depositing
new flesh, tissue and muscle, as the old becomes
effete and disappears. If tbe new material be cor
rupt and nneonnd, it is evident that the system
will not perfoim its dnties well; eomo part or an
other will be like ill-fitting machinery, that works
unevenly, and croaks and wean out of shape. In
this way tbo body becomes tho Boat of differing and
disease. As these are but tbe effects or impure
blood, it ia evident that to the blood tho mode of
cure must bo directed. It is boro that tbo ‘*Rosa-
dalia” lisa its value and reputation. It purifieB tbe
blood. It puts tbe origin of the graduii renova
tion tliat coca on tlirouRhout onr physical system
on a sound, pure, healthy basis, and thus brings*
robust constitution, even where bone of relief had

vember, 1810, and it is perfectly satisfactory to ua
in its general working and cheapness. We paid the
Macon Gaislight Company for four month® of l&at

During the eevero weather in December it burned
without intermission, not being at all affected by
tho freeze. We see no trouble in tho Machine or
