The following in regard to the Savan

from the Montgomery Advertiser. The
first parttgraph was written by that
paper’s correspondent at Mt. Micgs, Ala.
The other is from the local columns of
tlie Advertiser of several days ago. The
extracts are:
“The work on tlie A. & M. rail
road is progressing rapidly. The track
layers are now at work near McLemore’s
place, eight miles this Side of Mont
gomery. The construction company
have built, a side track on Mr. J. I>.
Scott's place, and aio now camping
there. This seems to indicate that Mr.
Scott will get; the depot located on his
place, and we hope that he will as it
will he a convenient location for the
citizens of Mt. Meigs. The accommoda
tions on tlie Western railroad are very
poor, and the citizens of Mt. Meigs, arc
anxiously awaiting the time when the

“Ten days from now the first locomo

“For the amount which we paid—
$35,000— we will sell to a local compa
ny. That would give them our pur
chase, the road and all its appurte
nances, appliances and franchises, with
a clear title and no outstanding bonds or
other debts to hamper tho purchasers.
We want to do the propor thing, by
Americus. As was stated by Mr. Felder
at the sale this morning the road repre
sents an actual investment of $85,000.
It cost that to construct and equip it.
The company which erected the road
was capitalized at $50,000 and $50,000
worth of bonds were issued. The
stoc/t was not watered at all. The
price of construction which I hav
named was paid part in cash and part in
bonds by the Xe*v oYrk Contract com
pany, for which concern the Thomson-
Houston company did the work. Tho
road is one of the best constructed in
tlie country. The track is laid with the
best thirty-five pound T rails
and tho wire used is the best cop
per that could he obtained. The curved
rails were made ih Johnstown and
the other was obtained in New York.
If the business men of Americus be
lieve there is any virtue in this enter
prise they now have a good opportunity
to put it to the test. They can buy this
road for less than half its actual cost,
hut this offer as you may see can only
remain open a very limited time. W«
cannot in-justice to those we represent
allow our capital to remain idle here.
We will sell to a local company. Qur
charter goes with it audit is, technically
speaking, a very valuable franchise.”
‘Am I to understand, then, that th
purchasers w ill not under any conditions
operate the road?” queried the reporter.
“No, we will not operate the road
here. That must be done by
local or soiuo other company if
it is done at all. If some sale, on
the plan I have outlined, is no: made,
then I have instructions to close the
trade with the Macon company, and to
order the road moved to Macon. I h ive
been very much pleased with what I
have seen of Americus, gnd it would
pleasure me to see tlu* road - owned and
operated here. We cannot, however,
do more than I h.#o stated-
sell a road which represents a cost of
$80,000 for $35,000. Those whom l rep-
jcscut arc of the same opinion, and even
if I were otherwise inclined I, would lie
obliged to carry out their orders
“Once more our proposition is to dis
pose of our purchase for $35,000 if the
sale can be made within a very limited
time ”
Mr. Kenny will be here several days
yet, After.which he will leave for Macon.
Yesterday Messrs. W. N. Marshall,
general superintendent, E. S. Goodman,
general freight agent, and W. K. Hawk
ins, assistant to the president of the IS.
A. A M. road, were in the city. They
carno here for the purpose of confering
with the officials of the other roads run
ning into the city, in order to arrange
the matter of the new road entering the
union depot.
“Nothing lias been definitely done as
to this, hut the matter is now being con
sidered by the officials of the different
roads here and a conclusion will he
reached in due time.
“The new road has been graded to
Clishy’s Park, a half mile north of the
city. It is being pushed to a rapid com
pletion. As fast as labor can do it the
track is being laid. It is now about six-
miles from the city, and well surfaced
up for the passage of a train,
“It is the intention of the officials of
tho road to.run a train into this city in
ten days from to-day. They will be on
the* first train.”
