The
Semi-
Central Declares its
Annflal 4 per Cent.
The Central Railroad Directors
met this morning and declared the
usual semi-annual dividend 4 per
cent, paynble on and after December
23.
This will be welcome news to the
doubting spirits who were afraid that
they were going to bo deprived of the
pleasure of drawing part of their
income from that source this month.
The payment of the dividend will
put 6300,000 in circulation. That
is about tho amount required for this
purpose semi-annually.
All tho resident directors and Mr.
H. T. Inman and Col. Phinizy were
present. In addition to declaring tho
dividend considerable routine work
was done, none of which is made pub-
lio. .
Gen Alexander laughed when ref
erence was made to the rumors about
his resignation. “When I arrived
this morning my attention was called
to them,” said he, “but that was the
first I knew about it. I haven’t
editor resigned or thought abouFdoing
such a thing.”
The Central’s President laughed
again when the reported sale of the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic road
was reforred to. “I hear that Col.
Machen has some connection with a
toad,” said he, "but that is about all-
There have been no negotiations
between him, or any other persons
representing the projected road, and
the Central. There has been no sale,
and no efforts on the part of the Cen
tral to buy it.”—Savannah Times.

The Asheville Convention.
The Inter-State Immigration Con
vention, just held in Asheville, was
largely attended. The object of the
convention was to make the southern
atates-their soil,climate, resources,ad
vantages, etc.—better known and to
induce immigration from the North
aud West. The following resolutions,
which were introduced early in the
proceedings ot the convention, sets
lorta very clearly the sentimennt and
feeling of the people of these states :
Resolved, That the war between
the sections is ended and all bitter
remembrances thereof are forgot-
ton.
Resolved, That on the map of the
world and in the southern heart, the
United States is one nation, bound
together by every tie of commercial
interests and of brotherly, love;
Resolved, That we, citizens of tho
southern part of this, the grandest
nation the world ever saw, extend to
our brothers in the North and West
the right hand of fellowship and in
vite them to como and make their
homes among us, and aid to develop
ing this the richest country in natu
ral resources and most favored in cli—
toai’o and location of any section on
the t ace of the earth.
Ret olved, That wo recognize no po
litical East, no political West, no po
litical North and no political South;
that on der a common banner and in
a comm on country we pledge our
selves to every honest effort to the up-
bnilding of this nation, of which the
Gouth is the most favored by naturo
and nature’s God.
