statements:
The advauce Introductory page*
of Poor’s Manual of Ihe railroads of
the United States for 1800 gives
much Interesting data concerning
the railroad growth and condition
of the Southern States. For con
venience groups are mentioned
The South Atlautlo, comprising
Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida, and the Gulf and Mis
sissippi Valley group, comprising
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana. For
comparisons the Southwestern
group, comprising Missouri, Ar
kansas, Texas, Kansas, Colorado,
New Mexico and Indian Torritory,
may be alluded to.
The mileage of the South Atlan
tic group for the fiscal or companies
year, 1888, waa 14,611; in 1880,16,045,
Inorease of 1644mllee; fhla
larger Increase than in any other
section of the country exoept the
Northwest, and speaks volumes for
the remarkable growth of the
South Atlantlo States during the
year 1880.
The Gulf aud Mississippi group
doss not show such an Inorease, aa
the mileage for 1888 waa 1,1014, and
for 1880, 11,107, an increase of 03
xnlles only. The Southwestern
group had a mileage In 1888 of 30,
005, and in 1880, 31,365, an Increase
of 1,300 miles closely following the
figure* of the South Atlantlo group.
Over 2,100 miles of the above Hoes
of the South Atlantlo group was
Changed aud laid down In steel
rails for 1880, against tbe Iron rails
for the previous jear, which shows
the character of the newly
atructed roads to be of the best.
The Southwestern group Increased
it* steel rails 4,100 mllea during the
same perlon.
THE TOTAL LIA1IILITIE8
of the South Atlantic group of rail
ways for 1888 waa $027,032,786, aud
for 1880, $674,232,781. Exoeaa of
assets ovor liabilities in 1888, $7,188,-
618; In 1880, $0,660,702; but for 1888
there was a deficit of $866,652, while
for 1880 there was> surplus of $05,-
505.
The Southwestern group showed
a deficit In 1888 of $10,478,276, and In
1880 a deficit of $1,021,107, wbloh Is
a pretty large Improvement In one
