( u. ei f € ^ e d that the up business
euniing Spring, will be great-
hut the Board forbears tos[Kak
m,0u »fifth# Company—a revenue
which must vary with the crops. We have, not.
withstanding tho sickness, been signally favored
by a kind Providence during the past year. Our
]>eoplo generally have been blessed almost beyond
measure. Thcproductsnfthccarthhavcbecnun-
precodented in quantity; and this business season
opens with tlio brightest hopes. Tlte future is
uncertain; hut the Hoard cannot doubt that the
revenue of tlio Company will continue ample
enough to pay ten per cent per annum on its
stock, to pay its small funded debt, and to build
and finish all the ware-houses on the line, the
Town Passenger House and Bridge over the
Canal, and all other work necessary to be done.
The stockholders are now reaping a lair, and
only a fair, reward for taking, in years past, their
revenue to finish and i>erfcct their works, rath
er than to distribute it in dividends, and create
a large debt. Tlte Board remembers the liber
ality of Ute shareholders, who went without div-
dends for several years, and rgoicwi with them
that the <lay of remuneration hxs arrived.
It will l>c the pleasure of the Board, whilst
the prosperity of the Company continues, to af
ford to the 'public increased facilities. They
this day nmko a concession to tho agricultural
interest of Ute region tributary to their road.—
The need of fertizilers for tho exhausted soils of
the central portions of tlio State is seen and ac
knowledged ; but, without cheapness of trans
portation, it cannot lm expected that the Planters
will use them to any large extent Hereafter
Guano, and other manures, will be transported,
by the car load, to all points on the li no of our road
per ton of2,000lb. The South Western Raid, at $2
we are given to understand, will transport them
to all points on its lino for $1 per ton. These
low figures will not pay the expense of trans
portation ; hut tho Company hopes to be com
pensated by the enrriago of tlm increased pro
ducts of the land, Tho plan of carrying man
ures in large quantities to all points at the same
uniform rate lias been adopted to placo tho agri
culturists of every section on tho same footing.
The published rate on manure by thelUO pounds,
it is hoped, is low enough to encouragu those
whose wants are small, but these rates will lie
revised and reduced if the Board secs that such
reduction will lead to a general and thorough
system of manuring.
The expenses attending the passage of goods
through this city, destined for Northern ports
on the one hand and for interior points on the
other, have, of late, been greatly reduced through
the instrumentality of this Company. The Com
pany pays for salaries of officers engaged in the
business offree foncarding, about ten thousand
dollars annually. Ibis is a great saving to
freighters, especially to our fellow citizens of the
interior of Georgia, many of whom and whose
representatives in tlte Legislature, without due
consideration, taunt the Company with the cry is
of ‘'monopoly.” In this free forwarding there
much of the character of real monopoly—the
confining of business to one channel and the few,
to the injury of many; hut it meets no rebuko
from our friends above who alone reap its wages.
When the Company reaps tlte wages of a mon
opoly granted for wise ends by the supreme
power of the State, and without which never a
mile of rail road could have been built, then the
taunt is that the monopoly is sin, whose wages,
as in the moral world, should be death.
At Die next general annual, revision of rates,
it is the intention of the Board to reduce the
rate of transportation upward on way merchan
dise. There is no town on the line of our road
100 miles injength. Planters and others in the
country below Macon, procure their supplies of
goods chiefly in Savannah: a moderate reduc
tion will benefit the sellers here, whilst it will
bring tlte rates for tho way consumers down
nearer to the standard adopted for the through
or far distant consumers.
When the Company was poor and could not
Ikiitow, it was compelled to take its earnings,
to a large amount, to plaoo it, as to general' c-
quipinent and apjxiintnicnts, in its present easy
condition. Now. the Board, having tho power,
nnd knowing well tho liberality of the stock
holders, will do what it would have given them
pleasure to do long ago if they had been able.
Allusion was made, in the last annual report,
to tlte subject of State aid to build new and cotn-
IActing roads and the confident hope was ex
pressed that the Legislature would not grant the
aid sought for to build rival roads. The appli
cants for State aid, were numerous, some of them
even clamorous. But the Board takes great
(duasurc in saying tliat tho Legislature refused
to lend the State to any such scheme. The in
justice of the demand towards the people of Geor
gia, who have spent of their own means over
$13,000,000 to build up the existing system,
was too glaring, the danger to be apprehended
from such a measure too apparent to admit much
doubt as to the action of the representatives, of
tho people. Again, at tlte present session of the
Legislature, State aid was sought for a general
new system of roads, and again tlio friends of
this dangerous scheme were defeated. There
was also a revival of the application for aid to a
road from Macon to Brunswick, and in tho course
of the debate thereon in the House of Rcprc
sontatives, it was declared to lie the aim of some
of the friends of the measure to get a road which
would compel this Company to put down its
rates of frieght Tlte application, fortunately,
as wo conceive, even for tho City of Macon, was
ttnsucessful. Georgia, wc have the best reason
for saying, is not likely to introduce tlte plan of
State aid, in any shape, to build new and rival
lines, a plan which will exhibit its groat danger
and its great injustice the more it is examined.
The idea seems to have prevailed to a consider
able extent, that the State, if secured beyond all
doubt, might endorse the bonds of rail road corn-
r ies to any extent without danger to public
weal. \Vc think, however, that the idea is
erroneous. Let it he admitted that, through
personal responsibility of stockholders, fastened
on their whole property as a mortgage or by
other means, tlte State could not possibly lose
by its endorsement, and yet it is plain that the
public wealth might be alarmingly impaired by
the trrant of the State's credit l(a l roads which
G-EORG-IA
Company,
pitopmETons or
State aid law would immediately promote.
A road from West Point to th>- Macon ami _ — . —, ^
Western rn#d at Barncsville or Milner, and a jVlaStlC ROOI1112*
road from rhotnaston to Geneva These two <3
lines would seriously injure the Atlanta ar.d
"LaGrangc road and the (ieorgia road
The air line line from Atlanta to Savannah
River, and a road from Atlanta by McDonough,
Jackson, Monticello. Eatonton and Milledgevfllc
to tho Central road at Tcnnille.—These two lines
would cripple the Georgia road and the Mact-n
and Western road.
* The Macon and Brunswick road which would
injure the Central road and which itself would
lead to a short road cutting the City of Macon
off from Columbus, Albany, Fort Gaines and
Eufaula, namely, a road from Fort Valley to
the Macon and Brunswick road near Hawkins-
villc.
A road from Albany to Savannah which would
interfere with the Main Trunk and South Wes
tern roads and turn produce away from Ma
con.
A road front Griffin to the AUluuiia line in a
direction to Decatur, Alabama, which would
injure the LaGrangc road and the State’s own
road
It may thus be seen what dangers and diffi
culties would probably, spring irom a general
State aid law.
There is scarce a limit to the call for State
aid, if the first step he taken in that direction.
The interposition of the State blunts private ef
fort, until in the end the State Is compelled to
advance, more nnd more, that its first contribu
tion may be of any avail. As evidence of the
correctness of this view, the Board would turn
to the case of South Carolina and the Blue
Ridge or Rabun Gap Company.
Our State Is now well developed and being
well developed Individual enterprize and effort
will do all that may be necessary, the moment
it is seen that the State has no disposition to
grant aid or to lend its money.
Respectfully submitted by order of tho I‘oil'd

capital, whether furnished by the State or indi
viduals^ be buried without hope of return, tlte
public wealth is lessened by the sum of thatcap-
tal. Other interests agricultural mechanical,
miscellaneous, have so much of the public means
abstracted from them, and thus double injury is
inflicted on the people. Rail roads which do
not pay, will never be kept in order, and cannot
for any length of time, he kept at all by thcong-
nal owners. They may be sold undercxccution
and thus come into the hands of new owners at
so low a figure as to bo revi vetL and be remuner
ating. But in such case the capital of the pro-
octors is gone forever, and its flight
iy tho tears of ruined iamilits. ■
" There Is something exciting in the idea of
competition—of rivalry. In no department of
the busy world is this excitement stronger than
in the matter of .transporting men and goods,
by means of rail roads. In many of our sister
States experience has shown what evils spring
from too great encouragement of fierce competi
tion. The icncral blessings conferred by well con-
ductctl railroads are seen,fell and acknowledged
on every hand, and yet the road to ruin may lie
as sure by the iron rad as by any other of the
thousand*ways leading in tliat direction. Is it
not enough to leave the means of such competi
tion and excitement, to thosewvho desire to pro
mote them ? Why should the State be embark
ed in the strife V A general State aid bill would
invite and encourage this rivalry and excite
ment to the irrcparablo injury of thousands of
her people,—of that portion of her people,
too who by their enterprize and their private
pecuniary moans first brought to the State her
I rlorv, and, honorand power. Is there hero noth-

all occasion or necessity for an abrogation of
the Clayton-Bulwcr Convention. The special
motive for the Into decided and vigorous efforts
