MATTERS OF MORE OR LESS IM¬
PORTANCE TO GRIFFIN.
The M. & C.'s Latest Move—Sale of
the 8. 0. 4k W.--Survey of
the M. A B.
Since the connection of Griffin with
the Covington A Macon road has by
no means been abandoned, although
apparently delayed; everything in
connection with that road is of in¬
terest to Griffin readers. Griffin’s
subscription will be ready at any time
it is called for With definite assurances
by Col. Machen, and the advertise¬
ment of the purpose to build the
branch, which has appeared in the
News, would seem to indicate that
matters are progressing this way.
The report is current that the great
banking house of Brown Brothers,
of Baltimore, New York and liver-
pool, the backers of E. C. Machen in
the building of the Covington and
Macon road, haye agreed to take the
bonds of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern railroad. This should in¬
sure the completion of the road be
yond a doubt.
Since Brown Brothers are holders
of the bonds of the Covington and
Macon, this road and the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern will unite and
combine at Athens, which, in connec¬
tion with the Seaboard and Roanoke
system will give the Covington and
Macon through connection from Ma¬
con to New York, and thus furnish
the shortest and quickest routeNorth
from this point
At Macon several connections
can be formed by the Covington
and Macon which will give her a di¬
rect outlet to thesea.both at Savan¬
nah and Brunswick, and be a link in
a continuousj system stretching.from
New Orleans to N«>w York.
Referring to the above subject,’the
Athens Banner-Watchman says:
“As has already been published
Messrs. ___________DU______-________ A. L. Hull and A. H. Car£- Hodg-
son, directors of the Georgia,
na M and nrw1 Northern railway, ,-n.iwcv were «>«•« called, noliod
to Monroe, N. C., last week to a
meeting, of the board of directors. In
view of what has been written, it is
highly probable that all details will
be arranged and the contract* for
constructing the G- C. & N. be let at
once.
“It is impossible to over-estimate
the advantage of the new road to
Athens. It will open up a magnifi¬
cent section between Athens and
Tie Monroe, N. €., for which Athens will
the main disemUOfigTKHin. -Fur¬
ther, there!* inestimable advantage
in being on a direct and through line.
This road will be the shortest line be¬
tween the Bdst and the Southwest,
and through cars and sleepers,
freighted with hundreds of people
and goods beyond count, will every
day pour into or pass through
Athens.
Bale of the Savannah, Dublin & West¬
ern.
Next Tuesday the Savannah, Dub;
Bn and Western Short Line railway
will be put up at public sale in front
of the county court house in Savan¬
nah by Gol. R. J. Davant, the re¬
ceiver. Parties in Macon will attend
the sale. This is the road that has
made Major .Branch sick in Virginia.
Receiver Davant and Major R. A.
Blandford, formerly engineer of the
road, have just been over the line on
horse-back. They found the graded
roadbed in good condition. The
grading begins five miles south of
Savannah af a point half a mile west
of the Savannah, Florida and of West¬
ern track. Abbut 46 miles the
road are graded but no trestles or
bridges were ever put in. Up to the
time work was suspended by the
last contractors, Carpenter, Grant,
Monday & Cb., #80,000 had been
expended on it! The upset price fixed
by ,the court is #50,000. If that
sum is nbt bid there can be no sale.*
Will there be any bidder* who will
pay that or more for the road? Sev¬
eral quiet inquiries have ' been made
about the property and the condi¬
tions of the sale. It is impossible to
learn whether there will be mnch bid,
ding on the day of the sale. It is be'ln in¬
ferred that the Central will not
field, as the parties interested in the
road Say that they would object to
the sale being confirmed, were it sus¬
pected after the sale that an agent of
the Central had bought it.
}■'- The coming sale will straighten
out all the litigation in which the
Short Line’s affairs are entangled.
The title which the receiver will
give will be clear. Friends of the
Central own a majority of the stock
for which they paid Major Branch
#100,000. That stock, however, will
be practically wiped out by the sale.
If there is a balance after the com¬
pany’s #40,000 of debt and the at¬
torney’s fees are paid, the present
stockholders will be entitled to it.
But. the purchaser of the road gets
all of its property. Then upon the
organization of a new company, the
charter would phse to it and the
new corporation would succeed the
old one. So, notwithstanding the
Central’s Ll„;«, present interest in the
Short purchaser -ooki oo,

All of the

The chances of realising
ly uncertain: There is a vague foun¬
dation for the statement that two
very powerful interests, neither of
which is local to Savannah, will be
represented at the sale.
M. & B. Surveyors Moving Toward the
Alabama Line.
The surveyors of the Macon and
Birmingham railroad, who are act.
ing in the employ of the Macon Con¬
struction company of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad, are
now about sixty miles from Macon,
having just made a survey through
Pine mountain on a thirteen foot cut,
which is considerably less than had
been expected.
. The survey will reach the Alabama
line about June IT, and Professor
Spencer, the State geologist, has
been employed by the enterprising
management of the Macon Construc¬
tion company to follow the survey¬
ors and examine all the different min¬
erals, coal, iron, etc., that lie in the
route of the survey. This inspection
by Professor Spencer will be of great
value and help to the company.when
it begins building the road.
