The Georgia Railroad’s proportion of
freight received from and delivered to con
nei tiug roads during last year, is stated as
follows:
Dp Freight from Augusta and
points East to Western ami At
lantic Railroad. $33,101.14, and
to other connecting roads, $21,-
103.73—t0tal $54,201 87
Up Freight from Augusta and
points East to Macon and Au
gusta Railroad 18,007 33
Down Freight from Western and
Atlantic Railroad to Augusta
ami points East.. 204,909 20
Down Freight from Atlanta and
West Point Railroad to Augus
ta ami points East 37,029 89
Way Freight to ami Trow West
ern ami Atlantic Railroad—. 36,780 72
Up Freight from points East to
Atlanta proper 63,349 78
Way Freight to and from Atlan
ta and West Point Railroad 2,666 84
Freight to and from Air Line
Railroad and Western Railroad
—through and way 2,581 30
Down Freight from Macon and
Augusta Railroad to Augusta
and points East 19,185 90
Way Freight to and from Macon
and Augusta Railroad 1,10195
$440,417 34
By the foregoing statement you will per
ceive that $440,417.34, or 45 per cent of the
freight earuings for the last year, is class
ed as strictly through business and of
this amount $274,791.12 was derived from
business to and from the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, principally from trans
portation of produce. ana snows how im
portant this connection and the produce
business is to your road. For the year
closing" March 31st, 1867, the whole reve
nues derived by your company on all busi
ness to and from the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, amounted to only $108,018.30, and
for the year closing March 31st, 1868, to
$160,976.41; but for the last year it amount
ed to $274,791.12, after deducting the falling
oIT from the year 1873 and ’4 of $63,553.83,
which failing off will not occur the present
year, if the business continues and our
reasonable agreement with the conneetions
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad is
observed.
1 know it js believed by some that this
through busiuoss does not pay well, but
tho facts are, that upon this business there
has been less reduction made than upon
through merchandise and through cotton.
At present, on an average, the Georgia
Railroad receives about S3O per car load on
all freight shipped from Nashville and
points west of Nashville to Augusta. When
it passes through Augusta to points of
greater competition, your road’s propor
tion is less, but on all freights shipped to
way stations on your road, and from
stations south of Nashville, the proportion
of the Georgia Railroad is considerably
more than stated above. On through cot
ton from Atlanta to the East, for last sea
son, the proportion to your road averaged
about 25 cents per one hundred pounds, or
about S3O per ear, allowing 12,000 pounds of
uncompressed cotton to the car; and on
through cotton uncompressed, from points
west of Atlanta, only about 15 cents per one
hundred pounds, or $lB per car load of 12,-
000 pounds. Compressed cotton pays bet
ter ut the same rate, as, with it, the ear can
be loaded to its capacity; but, unfortunate
ly, very little of the cotton offered to your
road is’ compressed
During the last year thore have been
many causes tending to discourage rail
road interests all over the country, and
particularly has this been the case in the
.South. Among them might be cited strin
gency in monetary affairs, affecting the
material business interests of all commer
cial and industrial classes on which rail
roads are mainly dependent for their busi
ness prosperity; the efforts of unscrupu
lous and selfish politicians to court popu
larity by stirring up prejudices against this
oppressed interest, by which it is forced
into expensive and vexations litigation,
and often denied the most common rights
allowed to the citizen; and, above all, by a
mischievous competition by circuitous
routes, that have no legitimate claims to
the business competed for, and can make
no profit by it, but may destroy the legiti
mate profits of the road to which the busi
ness belongs. This kind of unfair and un
generous competition does no good to any
load, but inflicts injury on all. Neither
does the public profit by it in the end, for
when a rival road is broken down by un
profitable competition extortion must be
employed to restore the loss. Bottled and
moderate rates are better for railroads as
well as tho public.
The future of the Georgia Railroad is no
gloomy one, notwithstanding the compe
tition ?t has to contend against, when its
large local business and desirable connee
tions are considered. When the connec
tions for which it is responsible become
self-supporting, or its liability for them
diminished, dividends to its stockholders
will be larger. In spito of the unfavorable
circumstances of last year, the net income
of your road, after paying and deducting
$105,720.19 for additional outfit, etc., was
sufficient to pay interest on the bonded
debt proper of the Georgia Railroad, and
about 1% per cent, on tho capital stock,
without referring to any other source of
income which the company may have had ;
hut a large amount of the road’s revenue
had to be used In paying interest on en
dorsements for other roais and other lia
bilities, and it may be that the company
commenced paying, soon after the war,
rather larger dividends than wore advisa
ble. under the circumstances then existing,
and before tho war damages to tho road
had been fully repaired. .The opinion of
the President on that subject will be well
recollected, but in the needy condition of
tho stockholders after the war the Board
found very strong reasons for a departure
from that policy.
The purchase lately made in conjunction
with the Georgia Central Railroad, and
joint agreement wltii that Company for
ihe management of the Western Railroad
of Alabama, it is hoped, will prove advan
tageous to both companies, and lessen the
burdens of your lead in that direction. The
com pie i ion of the Texas Pacific Railway is
believed to be a question of time only, and
not very long time either, which will be of
immense advantage to that road.
Men of the closest obser cation and larg
est experience believe that the future
promises well for the railroads of the
South, but that the improvement will be
gradual, and that, for the present, everv
possible economy will have to be observed
consistent wit h a due regard for keeping
the property in good order.
Road Way.
During last year a great many more
cross ties were put in the track than was
done the previous year, and 1,809 tons of re
roiied iron were used in laying 18 miles of
new track and repairing 2% miles of the
“Fish bar track.” In company’s shops at
Union Point 502 tons of old rails were re
paired, equal t,o 5% miles, making in all
25% miles of track renewed and repairod
last year. The year previous only about
12% iuiles of re-rolled or new iron wore put
in the track.
The Road Master reports a large quan
tity of lumber used in repairs along the
line, and that the work in repairing Aleovy
Bridge was heavy. He refers to the heavy
damage done to the Washington Branch by
the groat freshet in the Spring of 1874, and
reports the cost of preparing the same at
$3,900, which he classe.- as “Extraordinary
Expenses.” He has improved the condition
of tho track, and reports that branch now
in good order. The Road Master is untir
ing in his efforts to serve the company.
He refers to the quantity of rain which fell
during tne Winter and Spring as prevent
ing ditching and other work from being
done, but he expects to have all this well
done during the Summer.
Rolling Stock.
ENGINES.
As before remarked, the mileage of en
gines during last year aggregated 1,140,269
miles, and of the 63 locomotive engines
owned by the company 49 are reported by
the master mechanic as being in “running
order.” One or two require new boilers,
three require new cylinders. These and
other repairs will place that department in
condition to do all the business that
promises, and certainly, for the next year
at least, no money will have to be spent
for locomotive engines or cars, while last
year the sum of $86,063.66 was expended in
that direction in addition to usual repairs,
besides $16,756.53 paid for rebuilding.
I will not close my report on the motive
power department without bearing wilifhg
testimony to the honesty and efficiency of
the master mechanic, Mr. Hardtuan, and of
hie foreman, Mr. Look, at Augusta, and
Mr. Kushton. at Atlanta. The neatness
and good order observed about the shops
and round houses are especially commen
dable, as well as the effect of strict disci
pline, which is everywhere visible in their
department
Cars.
Mr. Preval is constant in his attention to
the Car Department, ana besides ordinary
repairs, reports having built one first-class
baggage car, fifteen box. forty coal and
two cab cars, and rebuilt thirty-two box,
eleven stock, seven cab, eleven platform,
two coal and three shanty cars, There
have been purchased during the year, two
first-class passenger and thirty box cars.
There have been one passenger car and one
oaggage car condemned and taken out of
service, there have been six box, one cab
three coal and one platform car broken
during the year.
The cars of your company are in fair
running order, excepting the twenty-one
ears now in the yard for general repairs.
We report the present stock as follows:
Passenger cars 28

I recommend that some stringent sys

roads that use cars, and that it be rigidly
enforced when adopted.

The Road Master reports a good deal of
work done on this road during last year,
including 30,000 cross ties put in the track,
repairing of eighteen trestles and six wagon
bridges, and building anew bridge over
Central Railroad near Macon, repairing and
filling in several culverts, and raising the
embankment in Ocmulgee swamp two feet
higher for nearly half a mile, making it,
apparently, safe from high water. The
road has also been ditched.
For the industrious and faithful per
formance of duty, and disposition of all to
meet any reasonable sacrifice to insure the
success of your road, tho Compauy is
greatly indebted to its officers and other
employees, all of whom seem animated by
tho same desire for success as that mani
fested by Mr. Johnson, the Superintendent.

COTTON EXCHANGE.
Annual Meeting—Election of Officers.
The annual meeting of the Augusta.
Cotton Exchange was held yesterday,
President Sibley in the chair.
Of some forty-six members, thirty
five were in attendance.
On motion of Mr. Warren, the read
ing of the minutes of tho previous an
nual meeting was dispensed with.
Tho President submitted his annual
report as follows:
President's Annual Report.
Gentlemen— This, your annual meet
ing, should, in accordance with section
Ist of artielo 2d of your by-laws, have
been called last Wednesday, but as our
assembly room was undergoing a much
needed renovation, we deemed it well
to delay your meeting until the day of
your annual election.
Since entering upon our duties, as
officers of this Exchange, some eight
months ago, but little has occurred to
disturb tho “ even tenor ” of our way,
yet we think that considerable benefit
has been derived by that portion of
the community to which we specially
belong.
In accordance with resolutions adopt
ed by the National Cotton Exchange
during its session here, your commit
tee on statistics went promptly to
work, and by means of responses to
their various circulars of inquiry, de
rived information relative to the cot
ton crop of the counties tributary to
this city, which was not only of much
interest, but also valuable to all in
terested in our great staple, for the
summary derived by the National
Exchange, from the reports thus re
ceived from the many exchanges of the
county, has been so much nearer the
probable total of the crop of 1874 aud
’5 than the estimates from other sour
ces as to clearly demonstrate that this
is the most accurate mode the cotton
world has of obtaiuing information re
lative to the status and probable ex
tent of each year’s crop.
Already your committee have sent
out enquiries to ascertain the probable
average and amount of guanos de
voted to cotton this spring, and at an
early day hope to lay before you the
information which may thus be de
rived.
During the past season transactions
iu cotton “futures” and in secuiities
have been merely nominal in our
midst. The cause of this is too appa
rent to all for discussion here, but as
we now contemplate urging upon our
successors in office a renewal of our
quondam daily or least of tri
weekly meetings, we think that
the thus assembling of our members
will give renewed life to this important
and most interesting branch of the
Exchange. The contract for news
heretofore existing with the Southern
and Atlautic Telegraph Company was
renewed the past season as being the
most advantageous which we could
make. While that company has not fur
nished news with the regularity which
we desired, still we have been satisfied
that both officers aud operators did all
they could to carry out our views and
were mainly deterred by the fact that
they were dependent upon a single line
between here and Now York, which was
at times prostrated by storms, aud thus
throwu out of working order. For
loss of time thus occurving, tho com
pany cheerfully allowed deductions
from their weekly bills.
About the time of the Convention of
tho National Exchange our member
ship was considerably increased by ad
ditions from Broad street merchants,
but siDC.e then several of them, thiuk
ing the Exchange of but little benefit
to their lines of business, have resign
ed, yet our roll is of goodly length, em
bracing forty-six active members, cer
tainly enough to well sustain this in
stitution if each one will take even a
little interest in making it successful.
There has been but little change iu
ojur financial condition since the Ist of
September, the receipts from dues be
ing about enough to cover our dis
bursements. Of the .$2,500 of city of
Griffin bonds owned by you, SI,OOO
became due on the Ist inst, and was
sent to Griffin for collection. I regret
to have to inform you that said
city was not in condition to pay
the bond upon maturity, but from in
formation derived from our agent, I
am satisfied that she is actuated by no
disposition to repudiate, and will en
deavor al an early date to pay. With
a continuation of proper economy we
are confident that our receipts can
meet our expenditures, and hence
would respectfully recommend that
you adopt as dues the amount now ex
existing, say three dollars per month.
Mr. King’s term of office having ex
pired on the Ist inst., your Board deter
mined to try the plan which was mooted
last year, and consequents eleected Mr.
C. F. Wilmans as Honorary Secrotary.
This plan is one dictated by economy
and bids fair to work most satisfactorily;
for the very great energy already
evinced by Mr. Williams must certainly
be regarded as but a harbinger of re
newed life to your Exchange. I refer
you for a more detailed statement of
your finances to the report of your
Treasurer.
Respectfully submitted for your
Board of Directors.
Geo. R. Sibley, President.
The report was received and adopted.
The Honorary Secretary, C. F. Wil
mans, Esq., made an interesting verbal
report, submitting a number of im
portant aud practical suggestions as to
the business of the Exchange.
Mr. W. M. Read submitted the fol
lowing report as Treasurer, which was
read and adopted:
Treasurer’s Report.
Augusta, Ga., May 10th, 1875.
To the President and Directors of the
Augusta Cotton Exchange:
Gentlemen—l have the pleasure to
report that since my last report, when
I had a cash balance of $954 16
I have received from the Sec
retary 2,461 23
From certificates of deposit
and interest (pool money).. 847 85
From interest on Griffin City
Bonds, one year 250 00
Total $4,513 24
And have paid out on 108
vouchers herewith handed
in 4,014 59
Leaving a cash balance on
hand to-day of $498 65
which is subject to your order.
On the Ist of May, instanter, the
Exchange had six months’ interest due
on $2,500 city of Griffin Bonds, at 10
per cent., $125, and two SSOO Griffin
bonds due. The Chairm.au of your Fi
nance Committee, Mr. Wm, F. Her
ring, has forwarded these bonds and
coupons to Griffin for collection, but is
as yet without a remittance.
In addition to these bonds and cou
pons, the Exchange owns three SSOO
bonds of the city of Griffin, which are
in my possession—which, with the cash
on hand, constitute your assets. In this
connection I will read a letter to you
from Mr. C. F. Wilmans, Honorary Sec
retary. Very respectfully, etc.,
Wm. M. Read,
Treasurer Augusta Exchauge.
Augusta, May Bth, 1875.
Win. M. Read, Esq., Treasurer Augusta
Exchange, Augusta, Ga:
Dear Sib —Asa supplement to the
financial report whioh you will have to
place before the general meeting on
Monday next, I beg to state that for
monthly contributions, dispatches and
market reports up to the Ist of May,
1875, about $333 are due to the Ex
change, which I shall endeavor to col
lect and turn over to you as soon as
practicable.
Yours, very respectfully,
0. F. Wilmans,
Honorary Secretary.

IN MEMORIAM.
Mr. George G. Leonhardt, Wife and
Daughter.
The whole heart of our city was sor
rowed yesterday when the sad confir
mation of their loss came. Denth is
severe, even when it takes possession
of its victim after long illness has
wasted strength away ; but. how much
more heart-rending when, in the short
ness of au hour, by some terri
ble catastrophe, the strong man
is made to fall, the warm mother
heart is hushed to beat no more,
the beauty of childhood is seen
to fade iu death. Not the one of such
trials is ours to-day, but the full sor
row, and we mourn tho loss of three.
It was not our privilege to know the
mother and child, but we could pay
them no higher tribute than to say we
faucy it was their goodness and love
which made his face always so bright.
We all knew him, aud through our
knowledge, recognized his full claim
upon our respect and esteem. Among
the first to answer the call of his
adopted country, ho stood unflineh
ly where duty pointed, until the
banner under which he fought was
lowered before an overpowering foe.
Asa soldier, then, we see him brave
and dutiful; as a citizen, ho was in
perfect sympathy with the interests of
the community; as a friend, he was
genial and warm-hearted; as a man, he
was generous and true.
God help the near ones to bear the
great burden of their grief. There will
a day come when “the sea must give
up its dead,” aud as they sank together
so may they rise together out of the
troubled waters into the arms of the
Saviour. V.

Practice Versus Theory.—The theory
of disease accepted by physicians is,
that symptoms are merely sympathetic
indications of its existence, and have
in most instances little or nothing to do
with fixing its locality. Their practice,
however, is diametrically opposed to
their theory, for they administer medi
cines which affect symptoms only. The
remarkable cures of dyspepsia, sick
headache, constipation, rheumatism,
general debility, urinary and kidney
troubles, and malarial fevers, wrought
by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, could
never have been accomplished by reme
dies which addressed themselves merely
to tire removal of any one of the mani
fold aud complicated symptoms to
which those maladies give rise. Act
ing, as ihe Bitters do, directly upon the
stomach aud tributary organs, over
coming their irregularities aud endow
ing them with renewed vigor, they
control, as it were, the springs of
vitality, purifying and giving them
fresh impetus, and dispersing all those
harrassing symptoms which’ proceeded
from their misdirection or contamina
tion. my7-thsatu&c
Ague Conquerer—No Quinine, no
Arsenic, no Poisons.—This is strong
language, as Physicians and Chemists
have for years tried to compound a
preparation that would entirely cure
Fever and Ague without the use of
strong medicines such as Quinine, Ar
senic aud other poisons injurious to
the system. There is no case of Fever
and Ague, Intermittent or Bilious Fe
vers, Congestive Chills, Night Sweats,
Liver Complaints, &e., that this remedy
will not cure at once and permanently.
I It purities the Blood, Liver, Spleens,
j and all secretory organs so effectually
that the chilis will not return during
the seasoD, even when persons have
had them for years. Sold by all Drug
gists. my7-dfeow&c ly
Reward of Merit.—The United States
Government has given not only to Dr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powders, but to
his True Flavoring Extracts, the pre
ference, and large quantities are ship
ped to its military posts. No more, we
say, than it deserved, for it truly has
proved itself in our family all that we
desire, making bread, biscuits and
cakes better than any other we have
used, and just so have we found his
Flavorings of Lemon, Almond, etc., as
pure, natural and strong as can be
made. Try these articles, ladies, and
see if you do not find them superior to
anything of their kind in the market,
