Atlanta, Ga., July 9.—The military
companies which have not encamped
will not do so, unless at their own ex
pense. The senate decided not to recon-’
sider yesterday’s action in the encamp
ment matter by a yea and nay vote of 23
to 18..
The honse was engaged almost its en
tire session in hearing local bills read.
The railroads were punched a little,
though, by the legislators.
A bill to regulate the rates of passage,
limiting the price to 2 cents a mile, was
introduced by-Mr. Sibley of Cobb. Mr.
Hill of Meriwether had read a bill to
allow the party aggrieved by excessive
freight charges to receive from the rail
road company a penalty of (500. Mr.
Etheridge of Houston—A bill requiring
railroad companies to furnish to the con
signor, within thirty days after notice,
evidence establishing on which connect
ing road freight was lost or damaged.
The sensation of the day, however,
was this resolution by Mr, Lewis, of
Hancock, which was referred to the
proper committee. The opinion is that
the resolution will have a strong back
ing. It reads:
Whereas, The existing lease of ths-Geoigla
railroad of thi. shite lo the Central rallrcsd
of Georgia and the LSK. railroad compa
nies; and the lease of the Central railroad
and Its branches to the Gwrglit Pacific rail
road, and the lease of the Georgia Pacific to
the Richmond Terminal company, or other
corporation. Is In violation of the plain pro
visions In the constitution or Georgia.
Therefore be it
Resolved, By the house, anu the senate
concurring, that the governor la hereby di
rected to require the attorney-general to
take proper eteps to seenre the cancellation
of such base contracts. Be It further
Resolved, That unless such base contracts
are revoked and cancelled by the' railroad
companies so leased, within six months of
the passage or this resolution, that their
charters ^mand the cams are hereby re
voked. W ’
Mr. Lewis also sent up a bill to pro
vide for the redemption of real estate
sold by a sheriff.
A bill to relieve insolvent debtors.
The bill proposes to relieve by his peti
tion to the judge of the superior court
asking the judge to appoint a receiver
and take charge of all of his property.
When this is done he is discharged. He
is entitled to (300 exemption.
Mr. Lewie also had read this morning
abill to make the first term of the su
perior court the trial term, when no
plea is filed. Another bill is to discour
age the bringing of frivolons
while still another ii a biU transferring
misdemeanor cases from the enperior
to the county courts, and providing for
a.full panel of jurymen to select a jury
from*, as is now in force In the superior
court.
The speaker announced the following
new member! on the committee Wre-
dlstrlct the state: Kemp, Baldwin,
Sears, Atkinson, Broadnax, Barrett, Ta
tum, Lewis, Witzell, Harris of Washing
ton.
With the exception of the vote on the
encampment matter, nothing of interest
was done In the senate.

of the alliance exchanges of Georgia. The
scope of the central exchange at Atlanta
Is to be greatly enlarged. Co-operative
alliance stores are to be established in

concern starts up that can undersell it.
It claims to be able to secure superior
rates of transportation. It is to have a
sort of branch house in Chicago which
is to ship bacon, corn and the like to the
farmers of the south. -

STOCKHOLDERS OF THE S, A. & M.
' COME TOGETHER ,
A Flattering Report—Bon Bonds Author
ised-President Hawkins’ Talk—Tbe
Rood In Good Condition—Directors
Elected Who Choose Officer*. •
The-tnnua( meeting of the stockhold
ers of tbe Savannah, Americas A Mont
gomery road was held at Glover's opera
house yesterday morning.
Mr. G.W. Glover called the meeting to
order by nominating Mr. Uriah B, Har-
rold for chairman of the meeting. _ That
gentleman was elected, and Mr. 8. C.
Cooper was ehosen secretary. A call of
the roll showed that 11,069] shares of
stock were represented in the meeting.
Then business was begun.
Treasurer and General. Accountant S.
C, Coopet made his report, which was
Indeed a flattering one in view of the
fact that the road has been continually
making an immenso outlay in the way
of improvements and extensions and the
further fact that the west end of the
road as now used was not opened for
business but little ra6re than half the
time. From that report these figures
are taken:
Earnings 1890 1240,M0 S7
Expenses 1ST0 i . —■ 128,6177
Net earnings 1890 1111,019 17
Earnings MM.’. f487,87*21
Expenses 1891 ..... 282,43241
..<208,41881
Net earnings ISU
1891, less <111,64317
Increase-earning 1891 over 1890 < 93,800 84
These figures need to chart to explain
them. They tell of a prosperous year
In the course of which the net earnings
of the year before were almost doubled.
The report was accepted and adopted. |
This being done, President Hawkins
introdncod this resolution, which be
prefaced with a few remarks bearing on
the subject named, explaining that the
second mortgage bonds are not to be
put on the market, but used as neoessity
requires, The resolution was:
Resulved, That the board or directors of
this corpor-tio . tie and they are hereby
authorized to issue such additional bonds as
in their discretion may be necessary, and to
secure aald bonds by a second mortgage cov
ering all tbe property and rranehlareof the
corporation; that aald mortgagee and said
bondt be In inch form as the directors msy
In their dtieretlon determine beet.
A vote was taken and tho resolution
adopted. ' Then President Hawkins ad
dressed the meeting, giving a review of
the year’s work. He called attention to
the fact that they had been working to
complete the road to Montgom
ery. in a time when the finan
cial conltion was unfavorable,
and when there were many obstacles
and difficulties to overcome. These, he
explained had been met and he told
bow the road was In a fair way to he
completed to Montgomery In a short
time.
Speaking of the bridge across the
Chattahoochee, President Hawkins
said that the work on It is progressing
hloely. ft will be a steel bridge built at
Wllmlnj^on, Helawnrcr It baa now
gone to the river and a crossing will be
made over the river with as little delay
as possible. He said a market
was found for the bonds,whioh are con-
tlnually being placed and that the work
on the western extension will get
through closely in time. He said that
sixty acres of land had been secured in
Montgomery for terminal facilities,
whioh will give ample .room for yards,
that being the old fair grounds, and that
a place for a freight depot had been se-
cured as elose to the business part of
the city a* that of any other road. A
contracthaa been made with tbe L. A
N. for 8., A. A M. trains to go Into the
union passenger depot.
President Hawkins said the business
of the road demanded new depots at
Abbeville and Lumpkin.
Speaking of the Tease of the A., F. A
N. road of thirty-five miles he said It
was a good property and could be made
to the advantage of the 8. A. AM. He
1 money bad been provided to pot
road In good shape, as tbe lease re
quired. He anticipated a good tallness,
with tho connection at Montgomery and
said the road’s physical condition is
good.
The meeting voted to create the office
of second vice-president, after which
these directors were elected:
T. S. Chappell, 8. W. Coney, G. W.
Glover, D. B. Harrell, 8. H. Hawkins,
W. B. Hawkins. C. A, Huntington, J.
W. May, J. D. Maynard, J. M. Scott, J.
E. D. Shipp, J. R. Stapleton, Thornton
Wheatley, John Windsor.
That left the board of directors as it
stood before, with the exceptions that
Judge D. D. Harrell was elected In tbe
place of Mr. J. B. Hudson, Mr. W. EL
Hawkins in the place of Mr. James
Fricker, deceased, and Ur.’ John Wind
sor In tho place of Mr. J. B. Latimer. ’

Wadley, Go., July 9.—A citizen of
Wadley who heard Tom Watson’s
speech at Kite on last Saturday says tbe
manner In which Watson criticised
Amos Cummings’ letter on Anderson-
viile left an unpleasant Impression of
Judge Crisp. Watson says Cummings
went to no hotel but was tho guest of
Crisp, and" while at hts homo wrote the
Andersohville letter.
Watson further added that Jndge
Crisp had not denounced tbe letter.
Watson was outspoken In opposition
to Jndge Crisp for sp.eaker,say!ng ho op
posed Barnes because he did not accept
the St Leuit platform and It would bo
inconsistent for him to support Judge
Crip. '
Harry Brown of tbe Allfanco Farmer
is a strong advocate of Jndge Crisp. But
It seems Watson Is a strloteraliianceman
(than the editor of the alliance organ.

When it comes to a matter of solidity

The recent statement made by that
bank shows .undivided profits during
six months of (38,018.17 with closo to

bank that made it.
President Sjreer and tbe gentlemen
who render - him sueh valuable assist
ance In managing the bahk’s affairs have
made a splendid snocess of the Bank of
Southwestern Georgia ao<j that they and
their institution are “in it" on the. score
of soundness and popularity, ss is at
tested by the fact that 10 per cent, in
dividends has bran declared this year.
