Seaboard Alrl.ine'i, New Parrbntc.
Tiik Nkws made mention a day or
two ago, of the lease of the Georgia
Boutbern & Florida road, running
from Macon, Oa., to Palatka, Fla., by
the Seaboard Air Line. Mr. Robin
son, of the Beaboard Air Line, is Kir
en $2,176,000 stock to guarantee G pur
oent Interest on $2,000,000 stock, and
6 per cent on the mortgage bonds of
the road.
The Georgia Southern is 28o mi lot
In length, and will connect with a'
new road to bo built by Robinson of
the Beaboard and Roanoke to Klber
ton.Ga., where it will connect with
his road to Norfolk, Va., thus giving
the system two hours advantage over
the Richmond and Danville between
New York and Central Florida.
The deed by which the Beaboard
Air Line obtained control of tho
Southern Georgia and Florida road
yielded to the Macon Construction
Company an enormous profit, consid
ering the money invested. The Ma
con Construction lias a capital of
foOO.OOO, divided into fifty shares of
f 10,000 each. It built the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railroad, 25
miles, taking all the stock and bends.
It Bold the bonds and from the pro
ceeds built the road at $15,000 a mile.
As the bonds were sufficient to build,
and equip the road the Macon Con
struction Company had all che stock,
42,760 shares, aud $1,000,000 they made
off the bonds. The Seahoard and
Koaneae and tne Jiateign ana ua -
ton Railroad bought the Georgia
Southern and Florida by endorsing i
the bonds ef the latter company at 0 ;
percent, and they reoivcd 0
shares of tho Georgia Southern and .
Florida to secure control of tliarlmo i
aud then guaranteed 6 per cent n ,
12,000,000 stock In tho Georgia South- j Tut; Nkws' steam engine exporl
ern and Florida. The profit which nieut pro ed a failur--, but our pn-s-Spark
and bis colleagues in the M 3- is now run by a trick that 'iocs light
eon Construction Company divide is ning work. Itisa.'iew otto engine,
the $2,000,0i0 preferred stock at 6 per and it drlv s our big Cornell pr. ss at
cent, equal to 400 percent on each the rate of 2,'JOO papers per hour,
share in the Construction Company, Should we get pushed, this rate
and each share in the Const ructou
Company gets $40,000 In the stock of
the Georgia, Toledo and Florida
Railroad. The largest single stock-
holder Is H. J. Lamar, Jr., of Macon
who owns sovet: and a half !i,r -s
