To the Stockholders of the mem.
phIs aud Charleston Railroad.

/ see so many reports in the news
papers, and receive so many commune
cations concerning the stock Of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, that
have thought proper TO say that see
no cause for the alarm that seems to ex-
list. What Colonel Scott or the South
ern Security Railway Company prom.
ised the city Of Memphis or the stock
holders of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad | know not. All that ] do know
is the existing contract, signed by both
parties; and since have been connected
with the road ! have endeavored 10
carry it out faithfully. In short time
our books will be ready for an exhibit OF
the earnings received for the year end
ing June 30, 1873, showing an in
crease over the year ending June 30,
1872, and how the money has been
spent. We have paid promptly all
the interest on their bonded debt,
and paid the dividends that have
fallen due, ard have spent a large
amount Of money on permanent
improvements, over and above the
running expenses Of the road. II our
earnings are increased, and we have
spent all the money in operating and
improving the road, how are the stock
holders damaged? | consider that the
value of the stock of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad company depends in
a great measure upon the satisfactory
arrangement of the floating debt of the
company, and that if the debt was sat
isfactorily arranged, and the Southern
Railway Security Company carry out
the contract in future as they have in
the past year, the stock of the road
would be worth far more money than it
is reported to be worth now. The state
ment made by Captain W. j, Ross, and
published in the Memphis papers several
days since, in reference to the amount
expended on permanent improvements
and the condition of the road, will be no
doubt fully sustained by the reports Of
the different officers of this company in
their annual statements about to be
made. Very respectfully
JOSEPH JAoUEs,
General Manager of the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad.
