THE CENTRAL RAILROAD.
—
How It Hnti Successfully Held Its
Own Against Opposttlon.
The New York Financial Chronicle
devotes an editorial article this week
to the Central Railroad of Georgia.
It is peculiarly interesting to South
era people, and shows how closely
tyie operations of this important
property have been watched under
the changes in railroad ipileage in
its territory. There has even been
among Northern stockholders some
concern for its future on account of
new and competing lire* and strin¬
gent laws.
# * *
According to the Financial Chroni¬
cle, the annual report just submitted
serves to quiet any possible fear, for
it shows the road to be in a very
prosperous condition. There can be
no doubt that the Georgia Central
enjoys a great many natural advant¬
ages. A large part of its mileage lies
in Georgia, and Georgia, as it is
known, is a State which has long
been well advanced in material pros¬
perity, showing great industrial and
manufacturing activity even during
the time when many other Southern
states were making very little pro¬
gress. It is this industrial activity
that has given to the Central its
large and varied traffic. At the same
time, the road is otherwise favorably
situated. The brain line from Atlan¬
ta, through Macon, to Savannah, is
not only centrally located, but con¬
stitutes the most important highway
between the interior of the State and
the seacoast.
* * *
Except for the leased roads and
steamship lines to the North and the
low capitalization of the property,
the Financial Chronicle thinks tin
encroachment of rival lines might
have had much more effect. Gen.
Alexander, in his present report, re¬
fers to no less than six of such roads
which during the late year took
some of the system’s business a way—
namely, the Georgia Midland, the
Atlanta and Florida, the Georgia
Southern and Florida, the Coving¬
ton and Macon, the Savannah, Arner-
icus and Montgomery, and the Chat¬
tanooga, Rome and Columbus.
These are none of them large systems,
but are all competitors for some"
part of the Central’s traffic. In ad¬
dition, the company is always oblig¬
ed to protect its through traffic from
the competition of the various large
confederates of roads—the all-rail
routes to the North, as against the
Central’s part rail and part water
route.
These conditions required wise
management. With so many rivals
in the field some extensions were
necessary to protect the read’s traffic
in the present and future. That,
however, required judgment. It is
easy enough to build new roads espec¬
ially when a company has the credit
that the Central of Georgia enjoys.
But to build so as to avoid unneces¬
sary mileage and unnecessary out¬
lays, while yet guarding weak points
and advancing the system where
needful, and having a care also ' that
the additional annual burden im¬
posed in the shape of fixed charges
shall not go beyond the limit of safe¬
ty-such an achievement is difficult
and rarely attained, as we see in the
numerous disasters and embarrass¬
ments which have occurred in the
United States railroad history as the
result of bad judgment. General Al¬
exander is consequently to lie con¬
gratulated, since while extending
and defending the property under his
control, he has not impaired its divi¬
dend earning capacity, but on the
contrary has maintained its old-time
prosperity.
Perhaps the most important new
work undertaken in recent years was
the building of the line between Amer-
icus, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala., by
ns of which the Central of Geor-
jts access to the mineral regions
ama, besides getting at Birm-
m connection with the Kansas
Memphis and Birmingham for
phis and points beyond. The
line forms part of the Savannah
Western, and the project contem¬
plates a road all the way from Birm¬
ingham to Savannah, or rather to
Eden, a short distance west of Savan¬
nah. It is not intended, however, to
build the whole of the projected road
between Americus and Eden at pres¬
ent,but merely the piece of fifty-eight
miles from Eden to Stirling, using
the Savannah, Americus and Mont¬
gomery for the remainder of the dis¬
tance. This would afford a some -
what shorter and more direct route
from Birmingham to the South At¬
lantic coast than that which the
company now gets by using the Sa¬
vannah and Western from Birming¬
ham to Columbus, going thence over
the Southwestern and Central main
line to Savannah. The latter route
was open all through the late fiscal
year, but that part of the Savannah
and Western between Columbus and
Americus < sixty-five miles) was sot
open till near the close of the year,
namely, June 9, 1889. The average
mileage operated, however, during
the twelve months was 204 miles
grantor than the average for the year
proceeding, being 2,211 miles, The
mileage at the close of tho year was
1,254 mile*. j

THE ADVANCING SOUTH.
Wild (luesses and Estimates No Long¬
er Needed
Sunny South.
The progress of the South has
never been more generally discussed
than during this period. It no long¬
er hides “its light under a bushel,”
but has forced itself upon the atten¬
tion of the whole world. The extent
and character of the advance made
each year is now well known. No
longer wild guesses and estimates
are needed. We are able to tell ex-
uetly the production of iron, coal,
lumber, etc., at what cost they are
produced, and how much is shipped
abroad and to ,tbe North. The
journals of that sectiou now give
time and space to Southern develop¬
ment, and the capitalists and invest¬
ors come down here to place their
capital.
As we have already said, the indus-
dustrial situation of the South has
been more generally and extensively-
discussed during the year than ever
before, especially its production of
iron, lumber and cotton.
The result of the iron discussion,
in which the Pennsylvania and New
England papers joined, was a frank
admission on thefr part that the
North cannot produce iron as cheap¬
ly as the special advantages oi the
South ulloiv it to do. The answer
to the cotton mill discussion is given
in the phenomenal prosperity of the
Southern mills, in the large increase
in their number and spindles, and in
the transfer here of several Northern
factories; and as for lumber, the
millions of acres of Southern wood¬
lands purchased by mill men from
Michigan, Illinois and other states
show that in the eyes of these men
tne South is destined to become the
most important lumber manufac¬
turing section of the Union.

EATAL DUEL IN AMERICA.
oth Principals Killed—Seconds Re¬
leased on Ball.
The following was clipped from a
newspaper published in Cupar Fife,
Scotland. This shows how tlie re¬
port of the Calhoun-Williamson duel
was mixed when it reached tho other
side of the Atlantic:
‘Sensatiou has been caused through¬
out Louisiana and elsewhere by a
duel between well-known citizens,
which resulted in the death of both
principals. Sheriff M’Alpine, of
Louisiana,and Mr. Poole, editor of
newspaper in that state, had a
quarrel, which was so bitter that
each thought he ought to have the
other’s blood. Without delay sec¬
onds were chosen, and an impromtu
fight with pistols was brought off.
Each combatant had a six-chamber¬
ed revolver, and several shots were
fired in rapid succession The last
shots of both men were fired almost
simutaneously, and both fell dead.
The seconds—named respectively
Calhoun and Williamson—were ar¬
rested, but have now been set at
liberty on bail pending their trial in
December.’'
