Savannah, Ga, Sep. Ist, 187 C. j
'lo the Stockholders:
The operations of your company for
the twelve months ending on the 31st of
August, show earnings as follows:
Central Railroad, Savannah divt
alon $1,384 ,881 13
Central lUilroad, Atlanta division.. 600 113 S3
Central Railroad Bank 66,564 87
Southwestern Railroad 048,060 07
Upson County Railroad 8,402 08
Total for roads and bank $2,657,096 97
The expenses for the same period have
been for
Contral Railroad, Sa
vannah division $792,708 05
Central lUilroad, Atlan
ta division 337,501 85
Central lUilroad Bank.. 17.1*0 33
Southwestern Railroad. 478,084 79
Upton County Railroad. 9.106 17—1,635,131 10
Leaving net $1,021,965 87
For particulars in reference to the earn
ings of the road operated, you are respect
fully referred to the General Superintend
ent’s report, as it would be only repetition
to go over the matter again. He refers
particularly to the causes which have re
sulted in the very considerable falling off
in the earnings of the road for the past
year. Those that are the natural sequence
of short crops, are unavoidable, and should
be borne with due resignation, but for sen
sible men, capable of being intrusted with
large invested interests, to be engaged in
a suicidal war, is passing strange. "While
such a course is most earnestly condemn
ed by the board, with the assurance that
this company will do all in its power to
rectify the evil, it cannot stand idly by
and see its business taken by competing
lines without an effort to retain it, even
at a loss.
With the reduction of earnings it will
be seen that the expenses have been some
what lessened, but at the date of the last
report it was not anticipated that much
more could be accomplished in this direc
tion, yet every effort has been and will
continue to be rnado to work the roads
with the utmost economy, having in view
the efficient conduct of its business.
The maturity of the one million of
bonds that were issued for rebuilding the
road, and certain other securities of the
Southwestern, Muscogee, and Mobile &
Girard Railroads, were referred to in the
last report. The entire one million of our
own bonds have been taken up and the
mortgage cancelled. In addition to the
payment of those bonds, we have taken
up the following obligations for which
the company were directly and indirectly
responsible:
Steamship bonds referred to la previ
ous reports. $300,000
Macon aud Western lUilroad bouds 33,000
Southwestern lUilroad bonds 16,000
Muscogee Railroad bonds 168,600
Mobile and Girard Railroad
bonds, endorsed $206,000
Mobile and Girard Railroad
bonds, not endored 64,500- —209,600
By a resolution of the board it has been
determined not to sell exceeding $3,500,-
000 of our tripartite bonds. It will be
seen by the statement of the bookkeeper
and Cnshier that there have been sold and
exchanged $3,222,000 of these bonds, leav
ing yet to be disposed of, under the reso
lution referred to, the sum of $278,000.
The indebtedness of the company beyond
this it is expected will be paid i'rom the
earnings of"the road.
The bonds maturing up to, and includ
ing the year 1890, for which the company
is liable, are as follows:
Year. Description. Amount.
1877 Southwestern Railroad. $ 4,000
1878 Southwestern Railroad .. $ 21,000
1818 Montgomery and West
point Railroad : . 175.000 196,000
1879 Southwestern Railroad.. 49,000

An analysis of the operations of the
company for the past year will show that,
after paying all interests and rents, with
expenditures of all kinds, a surplus of
$437,285.83 remained, which has been ab
sorbed in the payment of liabilities of the
company, thereby rendering the stock
really that much more valuable, and it
will readily be seen that this is equal to
6.83 per cent, on the whole capital
stock.
The companies’ interest in the steam
boats on the Chattahoochee river contin
ues in a reasonably prosperous condition.
The boat that was put oil the Tombigbee
river, in which tb* citizens of Columbus,
Mississippi, are interested, lias not done
as well as was expected. Immediately
upon entering the river it encountered
strong and determined competition from
the Mobile aud Ohio Railroad, and there
lias thus far been no connection between
it and the railroad at Deinopolis as was
expected.
The Jew* of New' York City.
Nevr York Correspondence of the St. Louis Re
publican.
Tho Israelites are a numerous, op
ulent and powerful body on this
island. It is stated that there are
more than 50,000 in the community,
and a very large proportion are pros
perous, while nearly all of them are
in comfortable circumstances. Some
of them are exceedingly rich—no one
can teli how rich—for they keep their
own financial secrets, and are gener
ally unwilling that the public should
know what they are worth. I have
been informed that there are one
hundred Hebrews hero whose estates
are valued at $1,000,000 and upwards.
The Israelites are divided into the
Old Jews and the Modern Jews, the
latter having more freedom of opin
ion and discarding many of the an
cient traditions of the synagogue.
There are in town some twenty or
more synagogues, some of them very
handsome and costly, while the ma
jority are plain and unpretending.
The rabbis, or priests, are very dif
ferently paid. Dr. Gotthell, of the
Temple Emmanu-El, has a salary of
SIO,OOO, the highest given to any rab
bi in America. Dr. Elmporn, of the
Lexington Avenue Temple, Dr.
Huebsch, of another synagogue in
the same avenue, Dr. H. S. Jacobs,
of the Thirty-fourth street syna
gogue, and several other doctors,
have each $5,000. The general sala
ries are much lower, ranging from
SI,OOO to $4,000.
It is three hundred years since the
violin rose from the obscurity which
still envelops its invention. Three
hundred years since the young men
in boarding houses began learning to
play the fiddle. Three hundred years!
And yet, gracious heavens! people
sav this world is as cold and heart
less and full of hateful and revenge
ful feelings. A world that has en
dured fiddling for three hundred
years, not only endured it, but per
mitted it, suffered fiddlers to increase
and multiply and fiddle! Heaven
cannot help but be merciful to such
a forbearing, tender, much-endutiDg
old world. It ought to go a little
light even on Col. lugersoll. Ex.

Sold by Purcell, Ladd fz Co.,Richmond, Va., and

This incomparable preparation for the Ilair is
commended to the public on its own merits. '
It prevents tho Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth;eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec'y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed tho dandruff from
tho scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
nas also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
E. T. BAIRD.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.]
Mossy Creek. Tknn, Aug. 22, 187 G.
Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
tho natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: .... ..
All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility. 1 .
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, aud suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would sown discover tho cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally m
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
lorm, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate.
