All who have subscribed to the stock of the cotton.factory enterprise are re quested to meet' in the Court-house next Wednesday afternoon at S o’clock. The Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad. The committee appointed at the late meeting of the stockholders of the Sa vannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad to make inquiries and open negotiations with a view to making the most advantageous disposition possi ble of that property, have held two or three meetings recently, but we understand nothing definite has been accomplished. The committee is now tn correspondence with prominent cap italists of Decatur, Ala., Augusta, Ga., and Charleston, S. C., and it is not im probable that sufficient interest will be excited to induce liberal competitive bidding when the property is put up for sale under foreclosure of mortgage next May. President Alexander is un derstood to be interested in the road only to the extent of the Central’s mortgage claim, and is entirely willing Mint the property shall be sold for the best advantage of the stockholders. Prom this it may be inferred that the Central has no desire to “gobble” the road, as many have supposed, and the question as to what she will do with it in the event that permanent posses sion is acquired by the foreclosure of her mortgage would seem as much a matter of mystery as ever. The total bonded indebtedness of the road is $839,305.63, ■ including the entire issue of bonds, past due coupons, and interest upon same to date,) and there are eleven thousand shares of common stock, representing an aggregate capitalization of about $2,000,- 000 on sixty-one miles of road. Accord ing to President Alexander’s report the average net earnings of the road amount to less than one-third of the annual interest due upon its bonds, not to mention the interest upon its past due coupons, which is accumulating at the rate of $6,525.63 per annum; but there are some who insist that the present condit ion of the road is due to the dis criminating policy of the Central man- agementlor several years past, the stud ied purpose being to so depreciate the property as to reduce its valuation to an amount about equal to its bonded obligations to the Central, when, hav- tlie Savannah, Griffin and North Ala bama might not have been extended, either to Decatur, Ala., or to some convenient point on the Goorgia Pa cific, thereby allowing the stockholders to participate in t4ie benefits arising from the increased business that would be secured for the road; but it has long since been apprt r ent that the former management of the Central had no such intention—or, indeed, any fixed purpose save that of forcing the pres ent company into liquidation. Wli^fi the property is sold under forclosure of mortgage and the Central obtains final j and absolute control, no one doubts j that the road will then be extended, j and speedily, If the Central should re-! gat'd thi* extension desirable now, or* even n yo-Vr hence, would it not have been equally advantageous and desira ble six or seven years ago, when the stock was worth something to its hold ers V The bonds now outstanding do not fall due until 1891, and though the road has defaulted in the payment of its interest coiinorts regularly and successively since t'878 Or 1879, the Cen tral has rrtag'rtartiiwously(?) overlooked the delinquency and allowed the inter est to acquinn'late without demanding payment oreVen expressing dissatisfac tion with its investment—by this simulated kindness deluding the stockholders with the hope that something would be done sooner or la ter towards putting the road on a better footing. The Central had the same authority to order a foreclosure when default was first made that it has now. At that time, if the mortgage had been foreclosed the stockholders would have realized $30 or $35 per share for their stock. It is worth now only $7.50, at which figure the Central proposes to take all that is offered. What motive could the Central have had in deferring the day of reckoning until the bonded debt and accumulated interest absorb ed the total value of the stock? If in tended as a kindness, it was certainly a mistaken kindness, and lias resulted in a loss to the stockholders for which they can never be indemnified, nor to which it cannot be expected that they will become easily reconciled. To be consistent in its magnanimity, the Cen tral ought at least to allow the bonds to run until the date of maturity. Nobody believes that the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama has had a fair showing since it passed into the control of the Central. While ostensi bly a part of that great system, it has had but little help or encouragement from that or any other source, and the only wonder is that it has kept up so well. In the hands of an enterprising, friendly management the mad would long ago have been extended and improved in every way, and that it may have the good fortune eventually to fall into such hands is the wish of every one familiar with the history of the road— the people of Newnan especially. self would give him as much to do as the average physician attends to.
