The REORGANIZATION Plan

The plan for recognizing the Central
Railroad and Banking Company, published
this morning. will be read with deep inter
est by thousands Of people in this city aud
state. 1t is plan that has the approval Of
many of the largest of the security holders
/ OF the company and of a large number of
others who are not security holders, but
4 who feel al interest in the grand old conn
pany whose credit, during the many years
it was in the hands of Georeians, WAS Of the
highest, and who want TO see its credit re-
stored and its securities again q favorite in-
vestment.
The plan appears TO be a fair one-as fair
TO all the security holders as could be rea-
sonably expected. The holders of the Sc
cured floating debt and the tripsrtite bonds
will, Of course. get their money under the
plan dollar for dollar They would get

curity holders would get nothing. The iuqs
Tor security holders. therefore, must take
what is offered them unless they can bring
about a Reorganization more advantageous
TO their interests.
The holders Of the securities of the auxilt-
AIRY iroads have pretty good reason to be
satisfied 1t is very doubtful if these roads,
if severed from the Central, would yield the
holders Of their securities anywhere near
what the reorganization gives them.
There will, of course, be much dissatisiac>
ton among those who do not get the full
face value of their securities, but they must
remember that If it we're not necessary for
them TO give up anything there would be
no occasion for reorganization. And they
are not in position to make terms. The
question for them to consider Is whether the
best has been done for them that is possible
under the circumstances.
Those who are in position to place ap-
proximately value upon the securities are
of the opinion that the bonds will be worth
50 cents on the dollar, the preferred stock
40 cents and the common stock
25 cents. All classes of the
securities will be worth considerably
more than these figures in the very near
future if the business of the road improves
az rapidly as it is confidently predicted 1t

English society is perp!exed--that is, it
was perplexed until English ingenuity re-
lieved the situation. The cause of society's
late predicament is that Englishmen Of the
inner circle no longer dance, consequently
hostesses were for long time at their wits
end to secure partners for young women at
balls and dancing parties. But now, ac-
cording to a cable dispatch the trouble has
been overcome. Hired guests armed with
guarantees of fitness and respectabIlity ap-
pear at the proper hour, warranted to dance
every number on the card and not give
more than three dances TO one young
