 Camden Railroad are Elected.
 The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Montgomery. Hayneville and Camden Railroad Company was held yesterday morning in Montgom- cry, but beyond the election of officers and some routine business nothing as to the proceedings was made public.
 The same board of officers was re- elected as folloys. B. Durham Of Montgomery. President; s. Q. Bloch of Camden. Vice-President: Judge J. T. Beck of Camden. Secretary, and F. c. Andrew of Montgomery, Treasurer.
 Major Durham Is one of the most widely known railroad men in this part of the country. having been at the head of several of the most frn- portant railroads in the United States. For number of years he was at the head of the transportation department of the Baltimore and Ohio. Louisville and Nashville and the Central of Geor- gia. For some years he was General Superintendent of the Plant System of Railways, before the reorganization of that property.
 The Montgomery. Hayneville and Camden was projected by s. D. Bloch of Camden a number of years ago, but for some reason the construction Of the road has never been started.
 When the Louisville and Nashville built the branch of the Pine Apple road Into Camden some years ago, 1t seemed to sap all the life out of the Montgomery, Hayneville and Camden Just what will ultimately be done with this road is an interesting study in ysflyoad finance. The organization iA %spt intact and every year it has it's
