WESTERN OF GEORGIA RAIL
WAY COM R ANY.
The stockholders of the Western of
Georgia Railway Go. met in Newnan
on Tuesday afternoon last for the pur
pose of receiving the charter granted
t>y the Secretary of State, adopting
by-laws, and electing officers and di
rectors. The meeting was called to
order by Hon. I. N. Orr, temporary
chairman, who wa subsequently made
permanent chairman. Mr. N. K. Row
el was elected secretary.
The chairman announced that the
meeting had been called for the pur
pose of elfecting a permanent organi
zation of the Western of Georgia Rail
way Co. ; that it afforded him much
pleasure to state that the subscriptions
required of Coweta and Heard counties
to secure the road had been raised, and
that, the stockholders were ready to or-
clamation, and there being no objection
the several gentlemen named were
chosen in this manner.
Each of the directors was then called
upon for a speech, and each responded
in a tone and spirit that left no doubt
on the minds of the stockholders
that they had acted wisely in put
ting such men in charge of the conipa
ny’s affairs.
J N. ouu, Sr., Pi
'lent.
ganizt* and adopt the corporate name
authorized by the charter granted them
by the Secretary of State.
The secretary then called the roll
of stockholders, when it was found that
a large majority of the shares were
represented, either in person or by
proxy.
On motion of Col. W. C. Wright the
charter granted the company by the
Secretary of State was read and adopt
ed.
The committee on by-laws, appoint
ed at. a previous meeting, submitted a
report, which was read, and after
some changes and interpolations had
been made, the hy-laws were adopted.
Under the by laws llieannual meetings
of the company shall lie held on the
second Tuesday in August, and the fis
cal year shall end the third Tuesday
in duly. It is also provided that the
officers and directors shall he elected
for a term of twelve months, except
that (lie general manager chosen to
direct the operation of the load may
hold for a period not exceeding five
years. It was further provided that
the officers and direr ors eleeted at the
organization shall hold until the second
Tuesday in August, I'.U'I. The oilicers
of the company shall consist of a pres
ident, a vice-oresident, (who may also
lie general manuger.) a secretary and
N. E. POWER, Secretary and Treasurer
The organization of the company be
ing thus effect'd and no further busi
ness being suggested, the meeting ad
journed.
Immediately upon the adjournment
of dhe stockholders’ meeting the direc
tors met for the purpose of electing of-
cers, with the following result, viz: I.
N. Orr, president; M. F. Cole, vice-
president and general manager; N. E.
Rowel, secretary and treasurer; W. C.
Wright, general counsel. B. T. Thomp
son was named as trustee for the stock
holders, thus becoming custodian of
the bonds and other securities pledged
by I. I,. McCord & Co. as a guarantee,
for the faithful performance of their
contract.
Judge Frank S. I.oftin. of Franklin,
was chairman of the committee on by
laws, and so carefully prepared was
his report that it was adopted practi-
W. C. WRIGHT. General Counsel.
Mating*
cully as written, but few changes or
amendments being suggested—such
only as are usually necessary to make
the laws conform to the requirements
of a new organization.
Mr. I. L. McCord, contractor and
chief promoter of the new railroad,
was unable to he present at the meet
ing. A telegram was received stating
that he was detained at his home in
New York bv the serious illness of one
of his children. The final preliminary
that of signing the contract and pay
ing over the subscription money will
lie deferred, therefore, until he arrives.
He is expected as soon as the condition
of his child will permit him to leave
home.
, The company is to be coongra tula ted
upon having such a strong directorate,
and equally fortunate in securing such
capable men as 1. N. Orr, sr.. M. F.
Cole, 1$. E. Rowel and W. C. Wright
for the active management of the road.
Mr. Orr as president, and Mr. Cole as
vice-president and general manager, is a
combination that could not be improved
upon, while Mr. Rowel as secretary
and treasurer, and Mr. W. C. Wright
as general counsel, are quite as well
treasurer, an »tt irnev. and seven di
rectors, four of whom shall be resi
dents of Coweta County, and three resi
dents of Heard county.
On motion of Mr. it. T. Thompson it
was decided that the bv laws” shall not
he hereafter changed except by vote of
90 per cent, of the stockholders of the
company.
. The election of directors h 'ing next
in order. Col. W. 11. Daniel suggested
thai the stockholders of each county be
requested to agree upo i tiie persons
desired for places on t!i > board and
present their names to the meeting.
This plan was adopted, whereupon the
names of M. F. Cole, 1. N. Orr. sr., I.
P. Bradley and T. G. Farmer were pre
sented from Coweta, and B. H. Tomp
kins, R. G. Crain and A. W. Rowers
from Heard county.
Col. W. C. Wright made a motion
that the ele directors be by ae-
fitted for the duties of their respective
offices. Indeed, it is a strong combina
tion all around, and the stockholders
may well felicitate themselves upon
the admirable selections which they
have made.
It is believed that the actual work of
construction will begin within sixty
days, and within eighteen months it is
promised that trains shall be running
over the road from Aberdeen via New
nan to Franklin. What is of equal im
portance to everyone interested in this
undertaking, is the apparently plausi
ble rumor that the road will not stop
at Franklin, but will he extended to
Anniston, Ala. All the circumstances
and surroundings would seem to lend
credence to this report. At any rate,
it is significant that those on the inside
are already predicting that the Western
of Georgia railway will ultimately be
come one of the most important and
profitable lines in the State.
