Our Great Air Line Tli* AHruxlaTand .< battanooira Bailrwl Außawta Chronicle: The contem plated line of the Augusta nmlt'lmlta nooga road is the moat important <n terpnae to the cdizmiaof Auguata ami the people in the varioue cou .tieH it ia expected to post that has ever boon projected. The object is to open up 1 the most ih-aiiablo and productive eectiona of the state of Georgia. No ! road leaving Augueta will hold auch advantage* bm to local buain -a Every mile of the territory is rich. No mt tion of the South contains a more in telligent i»ud thrifty populati >ll. The entire country through which it will jaiaa ia juat ready to jmtronize it There will be no delay in securing a local buaineaa much Hiqieiior to that of any other road. When completed a Having in distance of about 85 miles in eecured between Augusta and the "far West,” and cxinsequontly to the h< aporta of Charleston, Savannah and Port lloyal. It ia not a matter of speculation as to the amount of through business to be done. Every man who knows anything of railroads will readily understand that it will get all Hie through business it can haul With all this certain, it ia pleasing to know that it does not invade the ter ritory of any other road, but opens up a business both local and through that is waiting for its construction. Being the Short Lino it cun offer such inducements to the coal and iron in terests in and around Chattanooga its will develop an immense business in that line. Indeed, its advantages are too grout to bo enumerated, anil it is simply a wonder that this road lias not been built long ago. It is left to lie taken hold of by our people at this, the most desirable time to construct It. Now everything connected with ita construction is cheaper than ever known before or probably ever will be again hones this is the time above all others f>r its construction. Its cost, therefore, us compered with all existing lines, will be comparatively nominal. Suppose its length should bo as much ns 225 miles, ami the cost of construction and equipment S2O, 000 per mile, the total cost would only tie |4,500,000. The Board of Direc tors have adopted Till: Most inxinmi.E PLAN to build thia road ever known, and it only requires a few figures to show that the stock now being subscribed for is the most desirable railroad stock on the market This can be stated without making a single exception. Ist The Board propose to issue $500,000 of special or interest bearing stock, bearing 4 per cent, interest commutative, which stock is conver tible into second mortgage Isinds at th<> option of the holder 2. They prop, sie to issue S3,(MX),- 000 of first mortgage bonds, bearing 6 per cent, interest. 3. They propone to issue such amount of common stock as may be fouud necessary in the construction of the road, which we will say may run up to $1,000,001). This would raise the amount of $4,500,000, or $20,000 per mile. Having shown that the through and local busiueas will be even ta>tt< r than any existing line, it is fair to say that the net earning* should be equal to the pre.seut lines that connect Augusta with Chattanooga. ithout going to the rejsirta of these lines Ictus simply look at the amount they are leased for. The Georgia railroad is now leased for SOOO,OOO and the Western and Atlanta is leased for $300,000 per annum, making a total of s*.B*o,ooo per annum. The interest 01. the bonds of the Augusta and Chattanooga is $U(0,000, the interest on the sstK>,ooo aerial stock is $20,000, making a total of $200,000. Now. if a 0 jar cent, dividend is declared on the en tire stock of $1,500,000, it would re quire SOO,OOO to pay the same. There fore. $200,000 will pay the entire in terval account and a ’ per cent, divi-, <lend <>n Ixith classes of stock and would leave a surplus of $610,000. But suppose the net earnings should only l>c one-third this amount. — Then the interest can lie paid nml a G per cent, dividend lx- declared and still have a surplus of SIO,OOO. Or if | you take the net earnings of the South .Carolina railroad for 1884 as an I average of that road, which are $382,721,73, and you deduct $290,000, ‘ you have a surplus of $92,724,73 With this showing the sjiecial stock now offering would have a dividend of 6p< 1 cent, and interest of 4 | str cent total profit 10 per cent— while the. common stock would get a 6 per cent, dividend, making the common stock worth pur and over and the special stock $175. Therefore, nothing equal to this stock has ever been offered. THE I'KOPLE OF AUat’HTA and of the counties along the contain plated route are urgently requested to rend this carefully, and calculate for theimielvea 'The special stock 1 only is now offered, and Augusta is expected to subscribe for nt least j SISO,IKK) of it. Each county along . the line ought to subscribe for nt ■ least $50,000 more, or near that j 1 a few of the counties are only benefit- 1 ed partially, then they shout 1 take at least s3o,<M>o. In this way the I $500,000 special stock should all be I taken within the next ten days. If ' this is done tiie road will be built immediately, ami this most desirable line will connect the cities of Augusta and Chattanooga within two years from this time The citizens of Augusta n<Av have it in their jMiwer bi secure this road by meeting the demand nt once. 1s t every man who has subscribed consider the i value of the road ami of the stock, and treble his subscription, and every one who has not subscribed do so at once, and strain himself to obtain some of this most desirable stock, and help to build this immense trunk line. Let all classes of citizens feel that upon them rests the responsi bility of securing this enterprize. Let every man in the city and all along the lino feel that he alone is responsible for its success or failure. The canvass lias been begun to suc ceed. Mr. W. J. Pollard, who is an ! energetic and business-like man, has been requested to look after the canvass of the entire line, and is now organizing the counties all over the route and will wait on the citizens of Augusta. Several counties have already subscribed well up to their pioportion, and are still canvass ing, and others will begin at once It is desirable that every effort shall I bo put forth to get the subscriptions ready, so that work shall begin during this summer. Therefore.it is hopea that no one will turn a deaf ear to this enterprise; but let each and all prepare to help to the full measure of liis ability. Cigarettes. Cigarettes are largely used by boys j but cigarette smokers, jboth young and old, usually regard with skepticism the statement made by physicians concerning the evil eon sequences of the habit. The smokers say flint their cigarette are made of | the •‘purest Virginia," but if they want to know what, this ••purest Virginia" is, they should read what a large manufacturer of tobacco recent j ly said to a New Y<qk reporter: •'The quantity of drugs used in cigerotti's is app tiling "he declared" and the commonest of these isyiderian and tincture of opium. "An experienced tobacconist can detect the presence of valerian by the smell. The drug imparts a sweet, that in a little time obtains a fascinating control over the smoker. The more cigarette he smokes the more he wants to smokes, just as is the case witli one who uses opium. The desire grows into a passion. The smoker Ixwmes a . slave to the enervating habit "By the use of drugs it is impossi ble to make a very inferior quality of tobiweo pleasant They are put upon the market as such a price that the poorest can easily procure them, and boys go m swarms for them.’’ "What is this Havana flavoring that is so much used "It is made from the tonca beau weich contains a drug called mellolo tis, a deadly poison, seven grairs be ing sufficient to kill a dog. It has btcoiue quite an article of commerce and is extensively used in the manu facture of cigarettes.” Does the pajier wrapjM r of a cigar ette add a great deal to its injurious- I ucss?” "Certainly. There are three aorta of paper in common use, made respec tively from cotton, from linen rags, ami from rice straw. Cotton pajier is made chiefly in Trieste, Austria, and the linen and rice paper in Palis. "The first manufactured from the filthy scrapping* of rag-pickers, is bought in large quanities by the man ufacturers, who turn it into pulp, and subject it to a bleaching process to make it presentable. “The lime and other substances in bleaching have a very harmful in fluence upon the membranes of the throat and nose. "Cotton paper is so cheap that a : thousand cigarettes can be wrapped , a ac.st of only two cei t - Tokaec; • nized paper is manufactured. “It is common paper saturated with tobacco in such away as to imitate the veins of the tobacco leaf very nearly. It is used in making , nll-t' b.icco cigarettes. Arsen c 1 preparations are.also used in bleach ing cigarette papers, and oil of creots | is produced naturally as a conse quence of combustion. The hitter is I very injurious to the throat and lungs, I and is likely to accelerate the develop- j ment of consumption in any one pre disposed to the disease.” Henry County has a citizen, Major Hilram Lester, 117 years old, born June 4, 17t)9.
