not on the Wilmington and Manchester
| Road in South Carolina and portions ol
Central Georgia will be open to the com
| petition Of the Coast Inland Air Line.
A large part of the 1st, End and 3rd class
| freights from Central Georgia and Alabama
can be passed over this line, paying two
cents per ten per mile to the Northern
cities, which is more than the average pay
to Northern Roads for their carrying trade.
The advantages of lines free from short
curves and high grades have never been
appreciated.
The country wants more rapid transit
in exchange Of products than is given by
water communication. Already Northern
roads. built at great expense, are in even
handed competition with river transporta-
ton The Southern roads are making
constant inroads on the freights heretofore
carried by the coasting vessels.
There are those OF you who we'll recOllect,
in the early history OF this road, the officers
did not wish freight took it more for ac-
commodation than profit. When the old
fat rail gave way to the heavy L rail tie
change OF the profits in freighting began.
To day there is not a dividend paying road
in the South but wha; derives the principal
part of its revenues from freights.
When the steel rail with other improve
meDtS become or general use the increase
in the value of freights will be quite as
great in proportion as when the flat rail
gave way to the T rail.
There will yet be continuous line from
the Mississippi River to the Northern mar
kets, Of straight line, and easy grades,
avoiding alike the broad swamps, rivers
and bays near the coast, and the high
grades and heavy curves of the Piedmont
country Of the interior, the business of
which will be measured only by its capaci-
ty for transportation.
Ii there was continuous line of rail Of
the same gauge between New York and
the Mississippi river along the plains par
aliel to the coast at the present rates of
freight and insurance, cotton would pay
highly remunerating prices. For freight
ing purposes the advantages Of such line
have never been fully appreciated.
The road bed III good condition, shops
supplied with machinery, road with neces-
sary motive power and rolling stock, debt
funded, income of an unfaVorable year
more than sufficient to pay interest and
sinking fund, new channels Of trade nearly
others in the course of con-
struction, with a country Astounding in
inviting a rapid development,
the President and Directors do not hesi-
tate TO say the Company will at an early
day be in IL condition to resume it's old
habit of making semi annual dividend.
In conclusion they take pleasure in re-
cognizing the efficient services Of the va
rious officers.
Respectfully submitted.
