Fro n the Nashville Banner.l
The city's stock in the Winchester
and Alabama Railroad, referred to in
the proceedings of the Common Coun.
eli at the meeting Tuesday night, has
come to be a matter Of interest to the
people.
This stock has long been understood
to he ofno value, but now it is said the
$1,000 Of stock can be sold al ten
cents on the dollar. We have taken
some pains TO ascertain what the facts
are ia reference to the stock, and We
find it about as follows:
About twenty years ago $4,000 OF
this stock was subscribed ard paid,
and several years atterwatd the bal
ancc. The whole Of il was paid up.
When the law was passed for the
sale Of delinquent railroads, the road
owed Sl,GO0,OO0, aud was only valued
at S3OO,OOO, so that the stock was re.
galdcd as Of no value.
The Chanccry Court, in making the
decree, gave the Company the prefer
cncc as a purchaser at the price, bu'
the Board Of Directors decided that as
such Board they could not make the
purchase, and they assigned the RICH
over to some pnvate parties, These
parties found a purchaser at 100000
making 100000 in the stock OF Tit
Memphis and Charleston Railroad
worth now $4,000. Some OF th'
stockholders came into the CHANGER,
