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.
