Columbus, Ga., April 22d, 1874.
To <Ae Stockholder, of JF. db 8. R. & Co.
Gentlemen : I have thought At to oall
you together to 1st you know the exact
status of your Company. When I took
the ofAoe of President of your Company
I found the Bead without funds, with a
bonded debt of $240,000, endorsed by the
State, besides an addltlna»l bonded and
Aoating debt. The first internet on tbe
endorsed bonds fell due on the 6th No
vember last Having no funds to pay
with, lacked and received from the credi
tors an extension Of six 'months. The
next interest (amounting to $9,400,) will
be due on tbe 6th May, and it will be im
possible with the reaoutoes of the Com-
peny to meet it.
Since your last mealing every effort has
been made to oontinue the Hood, and at
one time arrangements had about been
consummated for the completion of the
next section o( twenty miles, but it was
broken up by the financial troubles of ths
country. These troubles have completely
unsettled confidence in almost every
Southern seourity and particularly iu new
Bailroad enterprises.
For further details I beg to oall your
attention to the reports of Capt. W. D.
Ohipley, late Superintendent, Sad Oapt.
Wm. Redd, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer.
On the 9th init, before fully recover
ing from the storm of March 16, we wets
visited by another severe rain, whioh
broke the road in seventeen plaoss. I
have bad fixed every break exoept one,
and that to-day will be rspeired. To
morrow I hope to resume the regular
eobedule. I have met the expense of
these repairs with my private means and
the assistance of a few of the business
men of this oity.
I regret the exceedingly unfavorable
situation of this enterprise, for it is one
in whioh I have always felt the greatest
interest, believing that it not only has
merit iu itself, but that if finished aud
operated properly, it would be sure to pay
a dividend to ita stockholders, and also
feeling that if it should fail to be built,
it would be a serious blow not only to tbe
people along the line, but partionlarly so
to Rome, LaGrange and .Columbus. To

lars in caah. with $200,000, more or
less*: they oonld complete and equip to
LaGrange, and at once bond the road for
not Isas than-$600,000, paying themselves
a large profit, after dull reimbursement
for their purchase from the State, and se-
curing a roe* whioh would build itself to
Chattanooga? That the road to LaGrange
is beyond any question:
oldsrs, I bdlieve, without
an exception, nave always expressed a
willingness to relinquish all hopes of di
vidends, if they oould secure the road,
and in oompllanes with tbis expressed
opinion, the pCHoy of tbe management
has been a pushing one, and has plaoed
the enterprise where Ita completion is but
a question of time.
But by a show Of enterprise the big
profit, whioh it * "
must be evident to the
most casual observer must aeetue to the
future management of the road, can bo
secured by those who have already in-
vested in its stook, as well as tha facilities
to which they look forward with so mnoh
interest That thestockholders will hesi

ment in the Opera House, for the purpose
of procuring n philosophical apparatus
for the use of tbe institutions. It will
consist of recitations, representations,

last entertainment of these schools was
pronounced the most universally enjoy
able ever given in Columbus. The object
ie one whioh should commend itself to

the advantage of the whole town. Wo

REPORT Of THE LATE BUFERIHTESDERT, W.
D. OHIPLEY.
Capt. Tho». B. Blanchard, PrMident,
and Board of Directort:
Gentlemen—The time having arrived
for my resignation as a member of yoar
Board and Superintendent of your Com.
pauy to go into effect, it becomes proper
for me to submit a brief resume of tbe
operations of the Company since my last
report, and I will add some facts in re
gard to the progress of tbe enterprise
whioh may prove of interest.
Before doing ao, however, 1 desire to
express in this connection my regret at
leaving the service of your company with
whioh I have been oonneoted from its in
ception. I will watob the progrea of your
enterprise with intense interest, and will
rejoioe sincerely in the prosperity whioh
will yet oompasa ita affairs when comple
ted, upon what I honestly believe to be
the best unoocupied line in the Bouth.
Tbe trial balance of the Treasurer to
Feb. 28tb, inclusive, showa the amount
of Bubsoription to capital stock paid np to
be $411,662 82. This amount ia what the

ThiH shews the avaiUble sub
scription to have been $301,635 78
iustoiui of $411,662 82, the amount to the
credit of capital stook, aooeptiug the
bonds, real estate and bills receivable at
par as agreed by the stockholders them
selves at their organization in August
1871 at Rome. Ail would have still been
woll had it beeu possible to have concen
trated even this amount conceded above
as available. But such a course waa not
within the power of your executive offi
cers. Fifteen thousand dollars from
Heard county and Northern part of Troup
was given, conditioned upon its being ex
pended north of the Chattahoochee; and
there it lies to-day in long miles of gra
ding, dead oapital to the Company, and
of value .to the subaeribsrs themselves
only beoanae it serves to mark irrevocably
the line upon whioh tbe road will ulti
mately be built.
This amount headed to the company
without conditions, would havs provided
freight on the second twenty miles, and
aeonred tha shipment of tha same before
tbe panio earns and interrupted the pur
chase. Likewise other Troup subscrip
tions wars restricted to Tkoup, sad those
ef Harris county to its owaUsrite.
Excluding the first twenty bands from
Columbus, whioh was given wfipoat con-
company by useless delays
must be apparent to all, now that State
aid—the company's basis for credit—isno
longer available in any shape, manner, or
form. This oonrso would have been un
necessary bad the country been spared the
financial convulsion whioh has shaken it
to its centre, and suspended the railroad
enterprises throughout tbe country almost
without on exception.
Upon completion of the first twenty
miles arrangements were made for iron
for the seoond, but were lost by delay in
obtaining Btate endorsement. This diffi
culty being met, contracts were made for
completing substructure and laying track
to La Grange, and the iron was secured
from the Gueago Bail Company on credit
of company's bonds, to be endorsed here-
after. Freights on the iron were being
negotiated, when the panio' interrupted
every plan and hope.
Under these plain facts a ehsnge of
hands seems inevitable. Knowing that
the President has obtained from Northern
parties (to this date) one-third of the
amount necessary to earry out tbe pur
chase and completion of tbe road, I trust
tha stockholders, at their meeting on the
22d inst., will furnish any deficit needed,
and push forward the important enter
prise. I had also seoured the promise of
an additional locomotive, but appreciating
the company's inability to pay promptly
for the game, I declined a sale and leased
instead of buying.
This engine was damaged in reoent ac
cident, and should be repaired at once.
To the 16th prox., tbe Company bad
never lost a dollar or injured a per,.on by
accident. On that day the morning train
South went into trestle No. 4J, wracking
the engine and a freight car, and slightly
injuring a passongcr coach, inflicting a
loss of about $1,500. Would that thia
ended the unfortunate affair, but I must
add tba death of Bragg Younge, engine-
man, and Willie Taylor, tlreman. They
were old and faithful employees, and died
at their poata like brave men, regretted by
tbe Company and community. The tres
tle had been examined by tbe road
ter two hours before the disaster, aud no
foresight oould have prevented the event
whioh was due to the washing out of a
bent by the flood of rain which fell at tho
time. Tbe break in the line was repaired
in a few days and the usual businens of
Company prosecuted since without inter
ruption.
The receipts since my last report, to
Maroh 1st, have been: Freight, $4,724.67;
passage, $6,441; mail and other sonroes,
$540.
Tbe receipts since the completion of tbe
first twenty miles have averaged over $1,-
400 per mouth. Tbe entire expenses of
the company, not including tbe Ralary of
President, Treasurer and Superintendent,
have been reduced to less than $560 per
month. Tbis inoludes water, waste, oil,
wood, expenses of train, maintenance of
way, and agencies on tho lino, the Treas
urer noting as agent at Columbus. .
Some persons have used this company’s
oost ou the first twenty miles as an argu
ment against tha gauge under which the
oompauy is constructing, citing its oost at
$400,000, or $20,000 per mile. At least
two parties, both railroad men, have used
this statement in printed articles, and it
demands an explanation. It has often
been announced, aud they must have
known, that there was applied to raid sec
tion $200,000 of Columbus bonds, $20,
000 of Rome bonds, $ 10,000 of LaGrange
bonds, and from the $400,000 should be
subtracted the discount on these bonds
and interest paid contractors while wait
ing for payments froln subscribers, and
the endorsement of bonds by the State—
all of whioh were necessarily charged to
oonatruoliou. As it amounted in the ag
gregate to over $100,000, the cost was less
than $15,000 per mile, exclusive of dis
counts ; a very reasonable amouut, con
sidering the right of way bought, the ex
cellent equipment, depots, water stations,
and the fact that the manner iu whioh tho
subscribers paid their subscriptions [or;«tf
the company to pay oredit prices.
I should state that more than tho net
amount of the Romo bonds was expendod
there at tbjkt'end of the road, W.C.Cherry
A Co , waving their lion, that the first
bond mortgages might be endorse.), aud
aooepting in payment on their work iu
the first mortgage bonds upon the seoond
section, to be endorsed when tbe said sec
tion was completed. This was more than
an equivalent for twenty Romo bonds,
diverted by permission of Rome officials
to the Columbus division, and was a strict
compliance with Rome’s eouditions, but
1 fear that from present appearances, it
will inflict heavy loss upon tbe construct
or*.
It is with undisguised satisfaction that I
refer to tbe negotiation of tbe municipal
bonds received in Bubsoription to tho
stook of the company. I tried to get tbe

The two military companies marched
down tbe street early yesterday morning,
just as the shower had oeaaed, headed by
the Columbus Guards’ end the Wall Silver

The troops departed from the Broad

DEBATE AND BZSOLUTIOHS.
President Blanohard stated the Direct
ors oould do no,more than they had. Ths
Governor was swats of the situation. Ha
had secured from him a daisy in tits seiz
ure of the road until ths meeting to-day.
The meeting of bonds had been delayed
a year by him. The $240,600 of State
endorsed bonds have priority over all oth
er claims. The bonds were endorsed last
June. Only a short time is required for
the Governor to take possession. He had
been unable to ssoortsin tha time. No
one would advanoe money. It wss with
great reluctance he had taken the Presi
dency of the road, and had tried bis ut
most to bring the roots to a successful
consummation, without avail.
Ex-Mayor Jarboe thought if Columbus
and Harris would inoreaas their subscrip
tion 33 J percent., LaGrange and Troup
and Heard counties would do the same,
companies
ive armories.
We are glad to learn that the pio-nio
was a pecuniary suocess. Good for the
City Lights, a most gallant company, and
a deservedly popular one.
