Waynesboro, Georgia, Friday, November 26th, 1886.
The Richmond & Danville.
The railroad world has been
startled by the news of the capture
of the Richmond & Danville sys
tem by Gen. Logan, of Richmond,
and his friends. They bought 25,000
shares at $23-3 a share from a syndi
cate composed of W. P. Clyde, John
H. Inman, John McErnany, Geo. S.
Scott and Baker and Fahnstock.
This syndicate has had control of the
road for three years; they bought
their stock at less than GO, and now
sell for 23-5, thus realizing a clear
profit of $4,250,000. It is interesting
to read the history of the transac
tions in this stock. In 1880 the
Richmond & Danville road only
extended from Richmond to Dan
ville, and was owned largely in
Richmond. Gen. Logan who was
then attorney for the road associ
ated with himself Messrs. Branch
and Pace, of Richmond, and they
formulated the system of the Rich
mond & Danville, by leasing a num
ber of other roads. They discov-
ed that the charter of the Rich
mond & Danville road would not
permit the road itself to lease other
roads, so they organized the West
Point Terminal Company and un
der its name perfected the leases.
Under this arrangement all the
roads were run under what was
called the Richmond & Danville
system. At this time the stock was
only worth 8 cents. W. P. Clyde
and John McErnany, of New York,
quietly loaded heavily with this
stock. It then advanced rapidly
until it attracted investors from
all over the country, and when it
reached 214 Clyde and McErnany
unloaded as quietly and rapidly
as they had loaded, clearing sever
al millions. Gen. Logan and his
friends stood by their conviction
and went down with the road. Gen.
John B. Gordon had in this enter
prise a profit of over a half million
of dollars, but being connected with
the system as president of the Geor
gia Pacific road declined to sell.
His brothers sold and cleared $250-
000 bet ween them. After the stock
had declined to 30 or 40 W. P. Clyde
found a new syndicate for the pur
pose of taking it up again. He had
already bought at 12 and sold out at
200. He associated with him John
II. Inman, George Scott, McErnany
and Baker and Fahnstock. They
loaded up at less than GO and turn
ed out Gen. Logan and his friends,
electing a new board and officers,
and removing toe offices of the
company from Richmond to New
York and Washington. Mr. Scott
becoming the president under the
management the stock has steadily
appreciated in value and the sys
tem has been enlarged and vastly
improved. Mr. Scott and his
friends in getting control of the
Richmond & Danville had neces
sarily to buy up a controlling inter
est in the West Point Terminal
Company. When they thought
that they had perfected all their
leases, and they would need the
West Point Terminal authority
no longer, they parted with its stock
not desiring to remain responsible
for its liabilities.
Under the depression Gen. Logan
and his friends who were quietly
biding their time bought control of
the West Point Terminal Company,
Gen. Logan then announced and de
monstrated that the several leases
of the Richmond & Danville system
were imperfect and illegal, and
could not be amended or perfected
without his consent, as he control
led the West Point Terminal Com
pany, which was the leasing power.
Hence, Mr. Scott and his friends
were willing to close out their in
terests, and Gen. Logan is again in
power, having made for himself
$100,000 profit m the speculation.
It is further said that Pat. Calhoun
of Atlanta, was largely interested
with Gen. Logan in working up this
scheme and that his profits are over
$100,000 besides big fees. Calhoun
also has credit for devising the
scheme of getting control of the
Georgia Central in the interests of
Gen. Alexander as president. He
and his friends have been buying up
all the stock of the Central, and has
recently successfully negotiated
with Mrs. Green for voting the
proxy of her G,700 shares, which
gives they claim the controlling
vote. If Gen. Alexander gets the
presidency he will run the road in
the interests of the Richmond &
Danville. By the by, it was this
stock of Mrs. Green’s which elect
ed Capt. Raoul several years ago.
It had been promised to Gen. Alex
ander, but in the meanwhile some
of Capt. Raoul’s friends offered Mrs.
Green $40,000 for the voting proxy,
which she accepted, and in order to
hedge and get the money back they
had paid Mrs. Green, they bet $40,-
000 with some of Gen. Alexander’s
friends in Augusta on the result, and
of course won. The purchase of
Mrs. Green’s vote being kept a se
cret. It now seems as if this same
stock is again to be the controlling
power. Another Warwick rehear
sal. .Verily “curses like chickens
come home to roost.”
WAYNESBORO'S EARLY HISTORY.
Non and then—Wonderful Transformation—Busi
ness Men—Personal—Etc.
H. II J. in Savannah News, Nov. 11.
Donning his “seven-league boots”
the writer would again invite his
friends to accompany him down the
track of the Central railroad from
Macon to Waynesboro.
It was on Dec. 12, 1812, that the
legislature passed an act incorpo
rating the town of Waynesboro,
the county seat of Burke, and to
create a board of commissioners
named in the bill to effect an organ
ization. On the 7th of the follow
ing month (January, 1S13) these
commissioners, present, William
Stone, George Poythress and Alex
ander Carter, assembled at the
residence of Mr. Stone and chose
Geo. Poythress their chairman.
On motion Mr. Southworth Harlow
was apointed secretary.
The board then proceeded to order
an election for five commissioners
of the town to be held in the court
house at Waynesboro, under the
usual superintendence of the law,
on the 11th of the same month.
The day after, Jan. 12, 1813, the
board of "incorporators again con
vened, all of them being present,
viz.: Alexander Carter, Samuel
Sturges, William Stone, John Car
penter, and Samuel Garliek.
Upon receiving the returns of the
election and counting out the votes,
it appeared that Samuel Garliek
had 14 votes, Southworth Harlow
14, A. Carter 14,’ Samuel Sturges 13,
William Stone 14, and John Car
penters. The first five were declar
ed duly elected, and it was ordered
that William Stone, Samuel Sturges,
and Southworth Harlow be appoint
ed a committee to prepare rules and
regulations for the government of
the board.
This original charter, with but
few changes, has remained in force
until the present time, and thesame
individuals were continued in office
for many years.
Afterwards lion. Thomas M. Ber
rien, a brother of the great Senator
Stephen W. Blount, J. W. Reynolds,
John A. Roberts, B. D. Hill, and
others, served as members of the
town council, all men ct mark.
SLOW GROWTH.
For a half century or more Way
nesboro remained an insignificant
village, deriving its chief support
from the fact that it was the seat
of justice for one of the most pow
erful and affluent counties in the
state.
Its trade, however, in amount,
was a mere bagatelle. All the
wealthy slave owners and large
cotton" planters transacted their
business through commission mer
chants either in Augusta or Savan
nah.
To one or the other of these cities
their produce was shipped, and
with the returns every article for
family or plantation use was pur
chased. In those days the factor
was practically the financial agent
and banker of the planter, and in
many instances Ion g years interven-
ed without any definite settlement
between the two.
The factor, simply content with
his commissions and the interest
upon cash advances, literally man
aged the money matters of the
“lord of the soil,” who led lives of
ease and independence at home.
Of course, thus circumstanced,
Waynesboro and otiier capitals
only received a few crumbs of pat
ronage during the sessions of the
superior court, on muster days, and
at political gatherings.
With the disastrous results of
the war came a
WONDERFU L TRANSFORMATION.
Stripped of their slaves, their lands
in many instances encumbered,
and untrained in the other avoca
tions of life, many of the noblesse
of the county lapsed into ruin, and
not a few sank into premature
graves.
Those who could do so abandon
ed their desolate homes and sought
refuge in the towns and villages.
A majority of the plantations
changed owners or were tenanted
out to the freed men. Hence the
rapid growth and increased trade
of Waynesboro. Burke is the larg
est cotton producing county in the
state, and nearly every bale is
marketed here.
Many of the young men after the
war went into mercantile pursuits
in their own town, and others mov
ed in also from abroad. The peo
ple do all their trading at home,
and as|a consequence the streets and
often the very sidewalks, are crowd
ed with cotton bales, and at this
season of the year the bustle and
business noticeable equals that of
a place four times as populous.
IMPROVEMENTS AND STATISTICS.
The business portion of the town
is handsomely built of brick. It
contains 1,700 inhabitants, six
churches, one academy, several pri
vate and two colored schools, four
physicians, and ten lawyers. The
cotton receipts vary from 16,000 to
20,000 bales per annum.
The principal firms are in general
merchandise—SJA. Gray, 5^ ilkins,
Neely & Jones, J. H. Mackenzie,
W. McCathern, M. Franklin, S. A.
Corker, and Fulcher & Co.
Tinware and stoves—J. M. Harp.

Harness and shoe shop—S. L. Fos

vYheelwright and carriage and

does an extensive business, and
James Prescott. There are others
not remembered. These are all
readers of the News. The town is
also graced by a fine brick hotel
and newspaper,
THE TRUE CITIZEN,
ably conducted by Sullivan Broth
ers, and held justly in high esteem.
Ot the merchants, Mr. S. A. Gray
has been in business here ever
since 1854. His store is divided
into four seperate departments,
embracing dry goods, heavy gro
ceries, drugs, and buggies and wag
ons. His annual sales foot up 175,-
000. Mr. Gray is also one of the
largest planters in the county, run
ning fifty plows and owning G,000
acres of land. His crop will yield
between 400 and 500 bales.
The biggest mercantile establish
ment in Waynesboro however, is
that of Wilkins, Neely & Jones.
Hie latter two are sons-in-law of
the head of the firm.
These gentlemen sell $210,000
worth of goods a year, and handle
5,000 bales of cotton. Every article
known in the various lines of busi
ness may be viewed behind their
counters, each in its appropriate de
partment.
In addition, the same house are
the owners of a
COTTON SEED MILL,
•which grinds about 270,000 bushels
of seed annually. The unsold sur
plus of meal lorms an important in
gredient in an admirable fertilizer
which sells readily at $25 cash per
ton.
PERSONAL.
“Mr. J. II. Mackenzie, the son of a
former prominent citizen and law
yer, A. Mackenzie, Esq., besides his
general store, owns the only cotton
warehouse in the town, which usu
ally receives about 8,000 bales of the
staple.
S. A. Corker is a son of Hon.
Stephen A. Corker, who was once
elected to congress, and command
ed the Burke Guards in the late
war.
The bar of Waynesboro is ably
represented by Hon. J. J. Jones,
Judge II. II. Perry, T. M. Berrien,
E. F. Lawson and others.
Mr. Jones, who recently received
the vote of Burke for governor, is
the nestor of the fraternity, and
Georgia does not contain a nobler
or more deserving son.
Dr. A. G. Whitehead is descended
from one of the oldest families of
the county and is a physician of
much skill aud experience.
Hon. W. McCathern, the popular
mayor, is not only a leading mer
chant but a wealthy planter and
stock raiser. With 35 plows he cul
tivates 1,030 acres in cotton and will
make 100 bales. He is also the own
er of nine brood mares and several
promising colts, which were shown
to the writer.
MAJOR W. A. WILKINS.
This gentleman, a native of old
Liberty county, began business in
Waynesboro sixteen years ago.
Possessed of great energy, tact and
ability, his success has been almost
phenomenal. At the same time he
lias ever been in the van as a public
spirited and patriotic citizen. To
him is mainly due the reconstruc
tion of the Presbyterian church and
the establishment of the annual
county fair with its pretty grounds.
He is also the owner and builder of
the new hotel. But the greatest
monument to the enterprise and
liberality of ex-Mayor Wilkins, if
successful, will be the much needed
ARTESIAN WELL.
For four years, unaided and at his
individual expense, has he sought
to bring to the surface the deeply
hidden stream which it is hoped
will prove a very elixir of health to
the inhabitants. Time and again
the project has been delayed by the
happening of some untoward acci
dent to the piping or machinery,
but undaunted and sternly resolved
to succeed, the major has never
abandoned the enterprise. Albeit
the cost to date has footed up $11,-
000, the work is steadily progressing
with every prospect of success. The
well has been sunk to the depth of
865 feet, 115 feet of which has been
bored within the past month. From
certain indications in the character
of the stratum being perforated, it
is believed that water will soon be
reached. The event will be a jubi
lee day for Waynesboro.
A MAGNIFICENT STOCK FARM.
The writer rode out with Major
Wilkins to his stock farm, which is
laid down in corn, grass, rye and
field peas. Here his noble herd of
66 blooded cattle, consisting of Jer
seys and Devons, all of the former
registered and belonging to the fin
est strains, and 27 mares and 14 colts
have been pastured since April
last without any recourse to (he
corn crib. They were up to the
eyes in grass and pea vines, and
looked sleek and happy. Some of
the colts are very promising.
Major Wilkins has several horses
valued at thousands of dollars, with
pedigrees equal to any in the
Union. They will doubtless make a
proud record for themselves on the
turf. Time will not permit us to
particularize. For one of his jacks
purchased in Murfreesboro Tenn.,
he paid $1,000. The animal is 15
hands high. There is no question
that the major is the owner of the
finest stud of horses in the state.
His colts are gently handled and
trained very early to harness.
CONFEDERATE RECORD.
Burke contributed her best blood
and many hundred soldiers to the
“lost cause.” Among the killed
were two colonels, W. R. Holmes
of the Second, and John R. Sturges
of the Third Georgia Regiments.
The latter was shot through the head
at Malvern Hill, when storming
the bloody heights, fully thirty
yards in advance of his men and
cheering them onward.
Georgia gave no costlier sacrifice
on the altar of constitutional liberty
than the beloved and lamented
Sturges.
