history and present condition of the Montgomery Railroad. s
 Tn Ostober 1885, books were open ed in Montgomery and Mobile for sub scription to the capital stock. The estimated cost of the work by the Chief Engineer was $s00.000. and inS few days $44s.0O0 was taken in Montgomery and $400,000 in Mobile, making q total of $S49.000. We therefore. at once organized and commenced, our operations under the most flattering prospects. At the time vf subscribing one dollar on each share was paid in and in March 1S36. a second installment of five dollars on each snare was call- ed for, which was promptly paid up on about $500,000. The board of directors at that time managing the affairs of the company believing that a steady perseverance in the enterprise would after some little delay on the part of the delinquent shareholders satisfy them of the great value of the work and induce them to come forward and pay up the installment. did not rlRtdly enforce the provisions of the charter so as to cause forfeiture and con tinued the indulgence until March 1887, when further insta1lment of five dol- lars share having been called in no-' eice was given that If not paid with all former arrearages within sixty days the provisions of the. charter would be rigidly enforced and forfeiture compell- | ed.
 Tn accordance with this notice the stock of all delinquent shai eholders was exposed for sale and the payments for feited as provided by the charter. On a review of our ustockbook in June 1887, we found that all of the Mobile and about one third of the Montgomery stock had been forfeited reducing our list of stock then held to not much over $300,000, and if we then could have foreseen the difficulties and embarrass- ments with which we have had to con- tend 1t would have been much better to have abandoned 1t with a loss of what had then been paid. But believing that the public utility of she work was so great-it being one link of the great railway connection between the Att lantic and the Gulf, directly on the great mail lines and passing through rich and productive part of our own State. with terminus destined to com- mand and conduct into the Seaport of Alabama. the various products of that part of Western Georgia above the falls of the Chattahoochie. we honestly be- lieved, although reduced to few in number, that by perseverance and manifesting our own confidence in the enterprise that we had undertaken. the State would come to our assistance. We uetermlneu ID proEFeSs with the Work. We succeeded in the fall of 1887. in in- creasing our stock list to $S00.000 with which we have continued to move on under circumstances, the most discour. aging and gloomy.
 On the s6O0.O00 of stock now held instsIlments, have been paid 1 namount- ing to S4S a share. Forfeitures have accrued to the company from delln- duent shareholders amounting to $22.- O0O total amount paid by the share holders being $S1O0OO The company

From having one poor little strag- xliug railroad to being one of the most important railroad centers in the South is a far cryl and yet that is the history of railroad development in Montgom- cry. It Is a story replete with intense interest to the business welfare of Montgomery
 A fascinating study 1t is to pick out the threads bit by bit pierlng them to- gether until the broken links from an unbroken chain leading from that one poor little railroad nearly eigthy years ago up to this proud December day of 1906. The commercial supremacy of Montgomery is now absolute. great hub in the gigantic wheeI of commerce iss sMontgomery,the spokes of that wheel bsing great trunk lines of railroads radfating in every direction. North. South. East and West, these commer- cial spokes shoot out from Montgom- cry, the hub. with material bearing on the progress of the entire South.
 January 15, 1884. a smal patry of men in the then village or Montgomery, put their heads together and decided to build that one most potent factor in the commercial development of the Uni ted States a railroad. Up in the sec tion northeast of Montgomery, was some valuable territory, which had nothing to depend on but wagon trade
  gomery. an dthese Montgomery arti- sians of Commerce. with farsighted aclimen figured that by means of railroad through that seotion the trade of the counties of Macon, Chambers and Lee could all be broughs to the town now, if you please, of Montgomery.
 So in the first blush of the new year, nearly seventy-three ago, was born a project which makes of the modern city of Montgomery on this good De- cember day, of 1908. one of the richest most important commercial centers in the South The youngster in its swad- ding clothes was christened, ''The Montgomery Railroad Company" and very few babies have Aa6 tougher time than this Infant.
 Col Charles T. Pollard. who had been the instigator and leading spirit in the enterprise, was elected Presi- dent of the company, which office he held until the day of his death. Dur ing the six years after the charter of the corporation ih 1884. the promoters had reversals and backsets enough to discourage any ordinary, set of men many times over. But there was man of iron will and grim determination at the head of this pioneer railroad, who was on anything but familiar terms with the word fall" He had started out to build the road and by the Grace or GOO, ne intending to Succeeo.

Can it be possible under any circum- stances that the State can lose with such security. supposing the road and machinery not to be worth one cent, real estate at its present low cash val- ue. for S1,200,0o0 is pledged to make good the debt. But the road must be a profitable one. And one fact Is worth a thousand arguments to prove the position. The road leading from Greensboro to Augusta, received for the month of November. $2s,oe0. The fertility of the country through which the Montgomery road will pass, Is greater than that through which the road in question passes, and t~aSclg directly to an extensive country In upper Georgia entirely locked up. and producing articles more in demand on the Gulf and its Gbutaries in Alabama and Mississippi than they aver can be on the Atlantic coast of Georgia and South Carolina. The conclusion is not by any means unreasonable. that our receipts and profits will fully equal. if they do not exceed those of the Geor+
