Hall  of  the  Ealeigh  &  Gastox  E.  E.  Co.,

The  twenty-lirst  annual  meeting  of  the  Stockholders  of 
the  Ealeigh  and  Gaston  Eail  Eoad  Company,  was  held  in 
the  Hall  of  the  Company,  at  eleven  o'clock,  A.  M. 

On  motion  of  Dr.  W.  J.  Hawkins,  President  of  the 
Eoad,  Hon.  B.  F.  Moore,  of  Ealeigh,  was  called  to  the 
Chair,  and  Joseph  J.  Davis  and  W.  W.  Vass  appointed 
Secretaries. 

A.  M.  McPheeters,  Esq.,  from  the  Standing  Committee 
on  Proxies,  &c.,  reported  that  there  were  represented  in 
the  meeting  in  person,  seventeen  hundred  and  fourteen 
shares,  and  by  proxy,  twelve  thousand  three  hundred  and 
twenty-eight  shares ;  total  representation  of  stock,  fourteen 
thousand  and  forty-two  shares,  being  a  large  majority  of 
the  capital  stock  of  the  Company. 

The  Chairman,  having  declared  the  meeting  to  be  duly 
organized, 

On  motion  of  Fred.  E.  Scott,  Ets«[.,  of  Petersburg,  the 
reading  of  the  annual  report  of  the  President  and  Board  of 
Directors  was  dispensed  with,  as  the  same  was  printed, 
and  in  the  hands  of  the  Stockholders. 

Maj.  T.  B.  Yenable,  of  the  Committee  of  Finance  and 
Inspection,  submitted  their  report,  which  was  read  and 
accepted. 

By  Hon.  W.  H.  Battle : 

Besohed,  Tliat  the  Stockholders  of  the  Raleigh  and  Gaston  Railroad 
Comjiany,  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity  afforded  them  by  their 
first  meeting  since  the  death  of  the  late  George  W.  Mordecai,  to  ex- 
press their  sincere  sorrow  at  his  death,  and  their  cordial  concurrence 
in  the  preamble  and  resolutions  adopted  by  the  Directors  of  this  Com- 


pany  at  their  meeting  on  the  eleventh  day  of  April,  1871.  And  in 
evidence  of  their  high  appreciation  of  his  warm  and  unfailing  devo- 
tion to  the  true  interest  of  this  corporation  as  an  instrument  of  the 
public  prosperity  of  the  State,  they  direct  that  said  preamble  and  reso- 
lutions, together  with  this  resolution,  be  spread  upon  the  minutes  of 
this  meeting. 

Besolved,  That  a  copy  of  this  resolution,  and  the  said  preamble  and 
resolution,  be  sent  to  the  family  of  the  deceased,  and  the  same  be  pub- 
lished in  the  papers  of  the  city. 

The  foregoing  resolutions  were  seconded  by  Joseph  J. 
Davis,  Esq.,  of  FrankUn  Conutj^,  and  unanimously  adopt- 
ed by  the  meeting. 

Col.  Tucker,  of  Ealeigh,  offered  a  resolution,  instruct- 
ing the  Board  of  Directors  to  build  warehouses  at  Huuts- 
ville  and  Pacific  and  other  points  on  the  line.  Ameud- 
meuts  were  offered  by  Messrs.  Scott  and  Plummer,  and  on 
motion  of  E.  H.  Kingsbury,  Esq.,  the  whole  matter  was 
laid  upon  the  table,  when 

Joseph  J.  Davis,  Esq.,  offered  the  following  which  was 
adopted : 

Besolved,  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this  meeting,  that  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors have  the  power  to  establish  new  depots  at  such  points  as  in 
their  judgment  may  be  necessary. 

Mr.  Davis  offered  a  resolution,  expressive  of  the  sense  of 
the  meeting,  that  the  President  of  the  Eoad  ought  to  be 
elected  by  a  direct  vote  of  the  Stockholders.    Eejected. 

By  E.  H.  Plummer,  Esq.,  of  Warrenton: 

Revolted,  That  the  salaries  paid  to  the  President,  Superintendent,, 
and  Treasurer  and  Secretary  of  this  Road — together  with  the  Chatham* 
Railroad,  in  which  the  road  has  a  controlling  interest,  amountmg  in 
the  case  of  the  President  to  the  sum  of  eight  thousand  dollars,  of  the 
Superintendent  to  thirty-three  hundred  dollars,  and  of  the  Treasurer 
and  Secretary  to  four  thousand  dollars,  are,  in  the  present  depressed' 
condition  of  the  country,  exorbitantly  high  and  ought  to  be  greatly  re- 
duced. 

The  following  by  E  H.  Kingsbury,  Esq.,  of  Oxford,  was 
offered  as  an  addition  to  Mr.  Plummer's  resolution  and  ac- 
cepted by  him : 

Hewloed,  That  the  person  representing  the  stock  of  the  Raleigh  and 
Gaston  Railroad  Company  in  the  meeting  of  the  Stockholders  of  the 


Chatham  Railroad  Company,  be  instructed  to  reduce  the  salary  of  the 
President  of  the  Chatham  Railroad  to  two  thousand  dollars,  and  the 
salary  of  the  Treasurer  to  one  thousand  dollars,  and  the  salary  of  the 
Superintendent  of  said  road  to  five  Hundred  dollars,  in  case  the  officers 
are  filled  by  the  same  persons  holding  similar  offices  in  the  Raleigh  and 
Oaston  Railroad  Company. 

The  foregoing  resolutions  were  discussed  by  Messrs. 
Plummer,  Hawkins,  Batclielor,  E.  H.  Battle,  Jr.,  and 
Davis,  and  by  Col.  AVm.  Lamb  and  Maj.  Geo.  W.  Grice, 
of  Norfolk,  Ya. 

On  motion,  the  meeting  took  a  recess  of  one  hour. 

Upon  the  re-assembling  of  the  meeting,  B.  F.  Moore,  in 
the  Chair,  the  consideration  of  Mr.  Plummer's  resolution 
was  resumed,  and  the  discussion  continued  by  Gen.  Cox, 
Col.  Lamb,  and  Mr.  Cameron. 

A  division  of  the  question  being  called  for  by  Mr.  Cam- 
eron, and  the  vote  taken  upon  the  proposition  of  Mr. 
Plummer,  it  was  adopted. 

Gen.  Cox  moved  to  lay  the  second  proposition  (Mr. 
Kingsbury's  resolution)  on  the  table,  which  prevailed. 

The  following  resolutions  were  ofifered  and  adopted : 

By  Gen.  Cox: 

That  the  question  as  to  whether  an  amendment  of  the  charter  of  the 
Raleigli  and  Gaston  Railroad  Company,  changing  the  method  of  elect- 
ing the  President,  would  transfer  the  control  of  our  charter  to  the 
General  Assembly,  be  referred  to  a  committee  consisting  of  Hons.  B.  F. 
Moore,  W.  H.  Battle,  and  Joseph  J.Davis,  Esq.,  who  are  requested  to 
report  to  the  next  meeting  of  the  Stockholders  of  the  Company. 

By  Joseph  J.  Davis,  Esq. : 

Resolved,  That  the  Directors  of  the  Raleigh  and  Gaston  Railroad 
Company  be,  and  they  are  herel)y  authorized,  to  represent  either  in 
person  or  by  proxy,  the  stock  of  the  said  Company  in  the  Chatham 
Railroad  Company  at  all  the  meetings  of  the  Stockholders  of  said  Chat- 
ham Railroad  Company. 

Resolved,  That,  hereafter,  the  report  made  to  the  Stockholders  of  the 
Chatham  Railroad  Company  shall  be  laid  before  the  Stockholders  of  the 
Raleigh  and  Gaston  Railroad  Company  at  their  annual  meeting,  if  the 
same  shall  have  been  already  made.  And,  if  the  same  shall  not  have 
been  made  in  time  to  be  presented  to  the  Stockholders  of  the  Raleigh 
and  Gaston  Railroad  meeting,  then  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  President 
to  procure  a  written  report,  if  practicable.

able means,  the  kase  of  the  North  Carolina  Railroad  Company  to  any 
parties  or  corporations  out  of  the  State,  and  that  Hon.  B.  F.  Moore^ 
Kemp  P.  Battle,  Esq.,  and  Dr.  W.  J.  Hawkins,  be  appointed  a  com-

so,  subject  to  payment  on  call:  Provided,  however,  That,  in  no  case

PRESIDENT'S  REPORT. 


Kaleigh  &  Gaston  Eailkoad  Compaxy, 
President's  Office, 

Ealeigb,  N.  C,  July  20th,  1871. 

To  tlis  Stocliliolders  of  the 

Balek/h  &  Gaston  Railroad  Company  : 

The  Board  of  Directors,   through   me,   submit  their 
twenty-first  Annual  Eeport,  embracing  the  operations  for 
the  fiscal  yenv  terminating  the  31st  day  of  May. 
The  receipts  were  : 

From  Freights,  .  .  _        -     $2G1,714  45 

Passengers,  _  _  -  79,366  06 

Mails,       -      -  -.         -  -         7,312  48 


Total  from  transportation,  -  -  $348,422  99 

Chowing  a  gain,  as  compared 

with  the  last  fiscal  year,  in 

Freight,  of     -  -  -     $40,656  43 

And  a  loss  in  Passengers,  of    -       4,116  77 


Total  gain  of  -  -       $36,539  66 

The  operating  expenses  were  -  -     $204,277  39 


Leaving  a  balance  over  opera- 
ting expenses,  of  -        -         -        -     $144,145  60 
The  Board  of  Directors,  on  the  8th  day  of  June,  declared 

a  dividend  of  6  per  cent.,  which  was  paid  on  the  1st  day 

of  July. 

The  operating  expenses  were  less  than  60  per.  cent,  of 

the  receipts.     It  is  proper  here  to  state  that  your  road 

being  on  one  side  of  a  triangle,  is  so  situated  as  not  to  be 


able  to  command  the  business  of  connecting  roads,  or  to 
dictate  terms  to  those  over  which  we  receive  and  ship  our 
freights.  The  Xorth  Carohna  Eailroad  on  one  side,  in  a 
division  of  freights,  demands  a  pro-rate  on  223  miles,  when 
the  actual  distance  over  which  the  service  is  rendered  is 
only  175  miles  ;  this  reduces  }Our  Eoad  by  this  arbitrary 
rule  of  the  North  Carolina  Eailroad  to  only  60  miles  in 
length,  they  getting  the  advantage  of  40  per  cent.,  our 
real  distance  being  97  miles.  This  alone  amounts  to  a 
large  sum,  but  the  difficulties  do  not  terminate  here. 
The  Seaboard  &  Eoanoke  Eailroad,  79  miles  long,  also 
claims  a  constructive  length  of  97  miles,  and  demands  and 
receives  a  pro-rate  on  that  basis.  They  also  get  20  per 
cent  advantage,  w^hich  gave  them  last  year  over  forty 
thousand  dollars.  The  Petersburg  Eailroad,  02  miles  in 
length,  demands  and  receives  a  pro-rate  on  freights  for  a 
constructive  length  of  97  miles,  giving  them  also  the 
advantage  of  30  per.  cent.  If  the  percentage  received  by 
connecting  lines  could  have  been  retained  as  a  part  of 
your  earnings,  the  gross  receipts  of  your  Eoad  would 
have  been  over  $400,000.  The  question  may  be  asked, 
why  do  you  permit  them  to  take  this  advantage  I  Why 
do  you  pay  it  ?  W^e  can  only  say  they  command  the  sit- 
uation, and  we  are  compelled  to  submit  or  see  all  of  our 
business  go  via  Goldsboro'. 

In  comparing  the  expenses  with  the  receipts,  it  should 
be  borne  in  mind  that  your  Eoad  is  reduced  in  length, 
first,  by  the  I^orth  Carolina  Eailroad  to  GO  miles,  then  by 
the  Seaboard  &  Eoanoke  Eailroad  to  80  miles,  and  by 
the  Petersburg  Eailroad  to  70  miles,  that  being  the  dis- 
tance from  Weldon  to  City  Point ;  whilst  the  operating 
expenses  appear  large,  near  CO  per  cent.,  they  are  really 
low  under  the  circumstances. 

You  will  perceive  from  the  Auditor's  Eeport  that  the 
total  increase  is  Irom  freights  and  from  the  K"orth  Caro- 
lina Eailroad,  except  about  one  thousand  dollars,  that 
being  the  amount  of  increase  at  our  local  stations  for  the 


10 

last  year.  We  cannot  expect  any  material  change  in 
passengers  until  we  have  a  better  local  travel,  or  until  the 
Chatham  Eailroad  ean  be  extended  south  so  as  to  tap  one 
of  the  main  through  lines. 

The  Richmond  &  Danville  Railroad  takes  at  Greens- 
boro' all  the  through  travel,  by  paying  the  North  Carolina 
Railroad  a  bonus  for  the  same,  nearly  as  much  as  if  the 
passengers  were  delivered  at  Raleigh.  If  we  can  continue 
to  hold  the  ISTorth  Carolina  Railroad,  and  the  Charlotte, 
Columbia  &  Augusta  Railroad,  and  the  Seaboard  & 
Roanoke  Railroad  as  our  friendly  allies,  as  we  have  done 
for  years  past,  as  we  hope  to  do  with  no  new  competing 
line  extending  into  Charlotte,  and  with  the  business 
which  we  may  expect  from  the  Chatham  Railroad,  we  may 
look  for  an  annual  increase  of  business.  The  Chatham 
Railroad  is  now  lunning  in  connection  with  the  AVestern 
Railroad  daily  to  Fayetteville  and  the  Coalfields,  with 
through  freight  and  passenger  tariffs  over  your  Road  to 
all  points  North.  W^hat  we  may  expect  from  the  coal  of 
the  Deep  River  region,  no  one  can  tell.  Copper,  iron  and 
other  minerals  abound  in  that  section,  all  easily  tapped 
and  accessible  to  the  Chatham  Railroad ;  when  fully 
worked  your  Road  must  receive  the  largest  portion  for 
transportation. 

Should  the  North  Carolina  Railroad  or  the  Seaboard  & 
Roanoke  Railroad  fall  into  hands  unfriendly  to  your 
interests,  we  may  expect  a  considerable  diminution  in 
your  receipts.  You  must  then  look  to  the  extension  of 
the  Chatham  Railroad  South,  developing  a  new  section  of 
country,  opening  up  a  new  field,  from  which  you  may 
expect  a  new  and  increasing  business.  The  Seaboard  & 
Roanoke  Railroad  and  Petersburg  Railroad  being  the 
recipients  of  your  business,  should  willingly  aid  in  making 
this  extension.  The  Raleigh  &  Gaston  Railroad,  Sea- 
board &  Roanoke  Railroad  and  the  Petersburg  Railroad, 
by  mortgages  or  endorsements,  could  easily  extend  the 
Chatham  Railroad  to  Augusta,  Ga.     Crossing  the  Wil- 


11 

mington,  Charlotte  &  Eutherford  Eailroad  near  Wades- 
boro',  the  Charlotte,  Columbia  &  Augusta  Eailroad  at  or 
near  Chester,  and  passing  through  the  best  portion  of 
South  Carolina,  lea\iug  Columbia  to  the  east  some  forty 
miles.    This  would  be  the  shortest  and  best  line  Souths 

The  political  diflSculties  in  the  country  have  thrown  a 
damper  upon  immigration  for  the  present  which  we  hope 
soon  to  see  removed.  TVe  procured  the  passage  of  aa 
Act  by  the  last  Legislature,  hereto  appended,  to  which 
your  attention  is  called. 

On  the  24th  day  of  May,  1871,  a  meeting  of  all  the 
Railroads  in  Korth  Carolina,  or  terminating  in  our  State,, 
was  called  at  Ealeigh,  for  the  purpose  of  organizing  the 
R.  E.  Association,  as  set  forth  in  the  Act.  None  re- 
sponded except  the  Ealeigh  &  Gaston  Eailroad  and  the 
Chatham  Eailroad.  These  Eailroads  organized  the  asso- 
ciation and  invited  other  Eoads  to  unite  with  them  and 
participate  in  filling  up  our  unoccupied  and  surplus  lands 
with  a  population  thrifty  and  desirable.  So  far  not  a  Eoad 
has  been  heard  from.  Gen.  D.  M.  Barringer  was  made  the 
President  of  the  Association,  the  Hon.  Thomas  Bragg  the 
Attorney,  and  Messrs.  Batchelor  and  Little  Directors.  No 
business  has  been  done  or  attempted.  The  Act  requires 
ratification  by  the  Stockholders. 

By  order  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  the  small  engine 
* '  Wake,"  and  six  flat  cars  and  one  baggage  or  box  car  were 
sold  to  the  AVilliamston  &  Tarboro'  Eailroad,  for  fourteen 
bonds  of  that  Company  of  one  thousand  dollars  each.  This 
engine  was  too  small  for  our  use  and  we  considered  that 
we  made  a  good  sale. 

The  property  of  the  Company,  of  every  description,  is 
in  better  condition  than  this  time  last  year.  The  bridges 
have  been  overhauled  and  the  track  has  been  vastly  im- 
proved. The  Tar  Eiver  bridge,  in  the  hands  of  David 
Eenno,  the  contractor,  is  being  pushed  as  rapidly  towards 
completion  as  a  work  of  that  magnitude  could  be,  with- 
out stopping  the  trains.     A  structure  so  tall  and  long 


12 

requires  time  and  skill,  and,  I  am  glad  to  say,  will  be  a 
masterpiece  of  work  when  completed,  one  in  which  the 
contractor  may  justly  be  proud. 

On  the  21st  of  June  a  proposition  was  made  by  Major 
W.  T.  Sutherland,  of  Danville,  to  the  Stockholders,  to 
purchase  7,500  shares  of  your  stock,  which  was  submitted 
to  each  Stockholder  by  circular,  and  we  take  pleasure  in 
saying  that  the  proposition  was  unanimously  rejected. 

Under  a  resolution  of  the  Stockholders,  passed  at  your 
last  annual  meeting,  the  Board  ot  Directors  were  in- 
structed to  enquire  into  the  expediency  of  rebuilding  and 
estabhshiug  new  Depots  on  the  line  of  the  Eoad.  The 
Board  recommends,  at  the  convenience  of  the  Company, 
the  rebuilding  of  the  Depot  at  Huntsville,  the  building  of 
a  Depot  at  Pacific,  a  Depot  between  Henderson  and 
Ridgeway  (should  the  Roanoke  Valley  Railroad  not  be 
rebuilt)  and  one  halfway  between  Warrentonand  Littleton. 
Sufficient  lands  around  the  Depots  should  be  purchased 
by  or  donated  to  the  Company  before  anything  be  done. 

The  Board  deemed  it  advisable,  under  all  the  circum- 
stances, to  defer  the  expense  of  getting  water  for  provi- 
ding against  fire  for  the  present,  as  we  were  informed  that 
the  city  authorities  contemplated  introducing  water  into 
the  corporate  limits  at  an  early  date,  for  that  purpose, 
from  a  spring  near  Camp  Mangum.  We  now  propose 
connecting  a  complete  arrangement  for  extinguishing  fire 
with  said  water  works,  to  be  operated  by  steam  and  hand 
power. 

A  train  has  been  run  regularly  into  Raleigh  in  the 
morning  and  out  in  the  afternoon,  for  the  accommodation 
of  travel  to  the  city,  at  reduced  rates,  without  any  per- 
ceptible increase  of  travel.  This,  however,  is  our  regular 
Through  Freight  Train  and  makes  the  desired  connection 
with  the  North  Carolina  Railroad.  The  general  local  tariff 
a,nd  the  tariff  on  fertilizers  has  been  reduced,  this  season 
but  few  fertilizers  were  used. 

For  a   more   detailed  statement  of  the  affairs  of  the

dent, Treasurer  and  Auditor.

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


Ealeigh  &  Gaston  Eailkoad  Company, 
Superin tenchnfs  Office, 

Ealeigb,  N.  C,  July  12th,  1871. 

Dr.  W.  J.  Hawkins, 

President  RaleUjli  d'  Gaston  Railroad  Co. 

Sir  : — I  bave  the  honor  respectfully  to  submit  my  An- 
nual Report  of  the  operations  of  this  Company  for  the  year 
ending  May  31st,  1871. 

The  earnings  for  the  year  have  been  : 

From  Freights,  -  -         $201,744  45 

Passengers,  -  -       79,3GG  OG 

Mails,-  -  -  7,312  48 


Making  a  total  of  $348,422  99 

The  expenses  on  account  of  operating  the  Eoad  has 
l)een  as  follows : 

Maintenance  of  Way,  -  $  50,512  25 

Conducting  Transportation,  -        52,G59  44 

Motive  Power,  -  -  52,175  76 

Maintenance  of  Cars,       -  -        1G,017  02 

Miscellaneous  (see  items  in  T's.  rep't,)  17,985  32 
Mileage  of  Cars  paid  other  Eoads,         14,937  GO 


Total,  $204,277  39 

Leaving  a  balance  over  operating  expenses  ol  $144,145  GO, 
or  about  41  per  cent,  on  the  earnings  for  the  past  year. 

Comparing  the  gross  earnings  of  last  year  with  the  pre- 
vious year,  we  have  an  increase  of  $35,310  37  or  about  11 
per  cent.  Nearly  the  whole  of  this  increase  was  from 
Through  Freights.     The  Schedules  run  by  the  K  C.  E. 

E.  against  our  interest  and  in  connection  with  the  E.  &  D.

18 

R.  R.  at  Greensboro',  has  taken  from  us  and  given  to  tbe^ 
R.  &  D.  Road  all  of  the  through  travel  we  formally  had. 

The  Road  bed  has  been  kept  in  excellent  order,  a 
large  amount  has  been  expended  on  this  work,  giving  a, 
permanent  improvement  to  the  Company's  property,  at 
the  same  time  facilitating  and  securing  safe  transportation 
for  its  passengers  and  freights,  and  reducing  the  wear  and 
tear  upon  its  Locomotives,  Coaches  and  Cars.  Too  much 
care  and  attention  cannot  be  bestowed  upon  this  import- 
ant work,  for  upon  the  road  way  depends  the  safety  and 
economy  of  ti'ansportation. 

We  have  used,  in  renewing  track,  211  kegs  of  spikes, 
40,250  cross  ties,  equal  to  about  15  miles  of  new  track. 
We  have  taken  out,  cut  and  replaced,  a  large  number  of 
the  rough  rails.  We  have  put  the  9  inch  sleeve  chair 
under  nearly  halt  the  joinings  on  the  9tli  (Weldon)  section,, 
greatly  improving  it. 

The  Road  has  been  well  ditched  and  drained,  and  most 
of  the  bad  and  wet  cuts  ballasted.  The  material  train  is 
HOW  at  that  work ;  but  the  material  for  this  puipose  on 
the  line  of  our  Road  is  not  of  the  l>est  quality.  We  have 
raised,  and  are  now  i-aising,  a  great  many  of  the  lowest 
places,  on  the  embankments  in  the  road,  with  the  earth 
from  the  ditches,  which,  when  c()ini)k'te(l,  will  lessen  very 
much  some  ot  our  steepest  grades.  We  will  require  at 
least  ten  miles  of  new  rails  this  year,  to  replace  the  old  U 
iron.  The  old  lails  will  pay  fo:-  almost  half  of  it.  Some 
of  them  are  giving  away  veiy  lapidly,  having  been  on  the 
road  since  1^53 — 18  years;  a  long  life  for  a  rail  when  there 
is  much  transportation  over  it.  This  iron  was  of  a  supe- 
rior ((uality,  much  better  than  any  lails  now  on  the  market. 
We  have  now  on  hand  12,504  cross  ties,  ready  for  renewal 
of  track,  aii<l  which  will  be  i)ut  in  during  the  next  two 
months.  We  have  (),500  cords  of  wood,  nearly  (J  months 
supply,  and  over  $13,000  worth  of  stores  on  hand. 

The  Rridges  are  all  in   a  safe    condition.     Tar   River 
Eridge  is  progressing  nipidly,.  the  contractor,  Mr.  Rcnno,. 


19 

expects  to  complete  the  Bridge  tluriug  the  month  of  Oc- 
tober. The  New  Bridge  will  be  the  same  as  the  old,  850 
feet  long,  Howe  truss,  a  handsome  and  durable  structure, 
and  will  be  constructed  at  a  cost  of  about  $  45,000.  We 
Lave  put  new  track-stringers  in,  and  thoroughly  repaired 
Neuse  River  Bridge,  and  the  Bridge  at  Jeffreys'. 

The  buildings  are  in  excellent  older.  We  have  built 
new  Cabins,  on  1st,  4th,  5th,  (Jtli  and  Ttli  Sections,  for 
the  hands ;  finished  the  wood  work  for  the  round  house  ; 
repaired  floors  in  the  shops ;  built  a  large  Tank  near  Tar 
River  Bridge,  holding  over  10,000  gallons  of  water.  This 
Tank  is  supplied  by  a  large  Ram  about  200  feet  from  the 
road,  and  will  enable  us  to  do  away  with  i>art  of  the  force, 
both  at  Franklinton  and  Kittrell's. 

Our  Locomotives  (10)  are  all  in  order,  except  the  Frank- 
lin, which  has  just  been  taken  in  the  vShops  for  a  new  fire 
box,  and  a  general  overhauling.  On  the  20th  of  Novem- 
ber last  we  finished  the  new  Tank  Engine  "Raleigh,"  and 
she  commenced  running  the  next  day,  in  the  yard,  switch- 
ing trains,  whrre  she  has  been  constantly  engaged  ever 
since.  This  Engine  will  compare  very  favorably  with  any 
Northern  built  machine  of  the  same  dunensions,  in  finish 
and  efficiency.  For  a  more  detailed  statement  1  refer  you 
to  the  table  of  the  Mivster  Machinist  accompanying  this 
report. 

THE  MACHINE  SHOPS. 

We  have  constructed  a  New  Steam  Hammer,  and  it 
equals  onr  most  sanguine  expectations.  We  have  built  a 
Quartering  Machine,  for  boring  crank  pin  holes  in  diiving 
wheels,  and  many  small  tools,  costing  not  more  than  the 
same  tools  can  be  bought  for  North.  The  New  Planer, 
purchased  from  Messrs  Sellers  &  Bro.,  at  a  cost  of  $1,700 
(freight  to  be  added),  <  nibles  us  to  do  any  work  in  that 
ine  necessary  for  our  Shons.  I  would  advise  the  purchase 
of  a  Punching  and  Sheaving  Machine,  and  a  Lathe  suita- 
ble for  boring  cylinders  and   other  heavy  work.     AYe  aie 


20 

■compelled  now  to  repair  our  Boilers  by  band,  at  a  greater 
■cost  tban  it  would  be  if  we  bad  tbese  macnines,  tbey  will 
•cost  about  $2,500 ;  witb  tbe  addition  of  tbese  tools  our 
Sbops  would  be  complete. 

OUR   CARS 

are  in  very  good  oi  dei-,  we  bave  overbauled  and  painted 
two  1st  Class,  one  2ud  Class,  and  a  Baggage  car ;  rebuilt 
and  raised  tbe  roof  of  one  2nd  Class  Coacb.  We  bave  a 
new  Baggage  Car  under  construction.  We  built  10  new 
Box  Cars,  2  new  Flat  Cars,  10  Band  Cars,  for  Section 
Masters,  and  3  Pole  Cars.  We  built,  for  tbe  Cbatbam 
Eoad,  4  Dirt  Cars,  11  Dump  Cars,  for  grading,  and  2 
Timber  Trucks,  and  for  tbe  Williamstou  and  Tarboro' 
Eailroad,  one  2nd  Class  Coacb  and  six  new  Flat  Cars. 
AVe  bave  now  five  1st  Class  Coacbes,  six  2nd  Class  and 
four  Baggage  Cars  07  Box  Cars,  and  27  Flat  Cars  running. 

You  will  see,  by  tbe  Treasurer's  report,  we  paid  otber 
Companies  last  year  $14,927  GO  mileage  on  cars.  Tbis 
to  a  great  extent  was  owing  to  tbe  freigbts  originating  at 
Portsmoutb,  Petersburg,  and  points  on  tbe  N.  C.  Eoad, 
and  during  tbe  dull  seasons  tbey  would  load  tbeir  own 
cars  and  not  ours  for  tbrougb  freigbts,  tberefore  we  bad 
to  pay  mileage  on  tbeir  cars  passing  over  our  road,  wbile 
ours  were  standing  idle.  Our  Flat  Car  equipment  is  suf- 
ficient to  meet  all  demands,  but  I  would  suggest  tbe  build- 
ing of  25  new  Box  Cars. 

Our  trains  bave  run  with  tbe  greatest  regularity,  and 
I  am  bappy  to  state  we  bave  bad  no  accidents  causing  tbe 
loss  of  life  or  property.  We  bave  missed  connection  with 
our  mail  trains  only  once,  caused  by  tbe  axle  breaking 
under  tbe  tender  of  Engine. 

Tbe  Cbatbam  Eoad  is  completed  to  tbe  Western  Eail- 
road. Tbrougb  Tickets  and  freigbt  tarifis  bave  been  put 
on,  over  our  road,  from  Fayetteville  to  New  York,  Balti- 
more and  all  points  Nortb,  and  we  may  look  forward  to  a 
considerable  increase  to  our  business  fi^om  tbat  quarter,  so 


21 

soon  as  the  mines  are  opened  and  the  minerals  ready  for 
shipment.  During  the  Dry  Season,  when  the  Cape  Fear 
is  not  Boatahle,  we  may  expect  a  large  business  from  Fay- 
ette\ille,  in  Kaval  Stores  and  General  Merchandise. 
Through  trains  are  now  running  in  connection  with  that 
Eoad. 

]\Ir.  J.  B.  Gayle  the  Master  Machinist,  and  Mr.  J.  R. 
Thrower  the  Eoad  Master  have  done  their  dut}-,  they 
have  watched  with  a  jealous  eye  the  interests  of  their  res- 
pective departments. 

The  other  officers,  agents,  and  employees  of  the  Com- 
pany have  been  very  prompt  in  the  discharge  of  their  du- 
ties, always  looking  to  the  interests  of  the  Company. 
They  have  yielded  a  cheerful  obedience  to  all  rules  and 
regulations  of  the  Compauj'. 

Respectfully  '=iubmitted, 

A.  B.  ANDREWS, 
Superintendent.

FINANCE  COMMITTEE'S  REPORT. 


The  Committee  of  Finance  and  Inspection  submit  tlie 
following  report : 

That  they  have  carefully  examined  the  books  and  ac- 
counts of  the  Treasurer,  and  find  them  to  be  correctly 
and  accurately  kept,  and  his  published  statements  contain 
all  the  information  necessary  to  exhibit  a  full  account  of 
the  financial  condition  of  the  Company. 

The  debt  of  the  Company  now  due,  after  deducting  as- 
sets in  hand,  properly  applicable  to  meet  it,  is  $85,030.50. 
This  appears  larger  than  the  last  exhibit,  for  the  reason 
that  the  bonds  of  the  Columbia  and  Augusta  Eail  Eoad 
Company,  then  held  by  this  Company,  have  been  since 
sold,  and  the  amount  realized  therefor  is  being  used  for 
the  construction  of  the  bridge  over  Tar  River. 

The  statement  of  the  expenditures  for  the  last  year, 
accompanying  the  Treasurer's  report,  we  think  does  not 
properly  classify  the  items. 

Although  this  statement  gives  a  correct  exhibit  of  all 
moneys  paid  out,  yet,  at  the  same  time,  it  does  not  properly 
classify  such  articles  as  have  been  paid  for  and  are  now  on 
hand,  and  should  properly  be  a  credit  on  the  expense  ac- 
count. 

We  allude  to  the  cars  built  during  the  year,  and  stores 
now  on  hand  and  paid  for,  and  which  are  now  for  use 
during  this  year. 
By  reference  to  the  report  of  the  Superintendent 

it  appears  that  new  Box,  and  other  Cars,  have 

been  built,  costing  about  $10,000 

Stores  on  hand,  and  ties,  about  16,000 


Making  $2G,000 


whicli  was  charged  to  current  expense  account,  and  whicb 
should  properly  be  credited  to  that  account  in  estimating 
the  cost  of  operating  the  road  for  the  last  year.  Should 
this  be  done  the  ordinary  expenditures  of  the  year  would 
have  been  $178,277.39. 

The  Committee  have  examined  the  reports  of  the  cost 
of  operating  the  Eoad  each  year  since  its  completion,  and 
find  that  the  per  centage  of  the  current  expenditures  for 
operating  the  Koad,  as  compared  with  the  gross  receipts 
from  freight,  passengers  and  mail,  to  be  as  follows :

1871,  58i   " 

1857,  47 

i  1 

1863,33 

1867,  73 

This  percentage  of  1871  is  according  to  the  statement 
of  the  Treasurer,  but  if  the  credits  are  placed  to  this  ac- 
count, as  indicated  by  your  Committee,  the  per  centage 
of  that  year  would  be  about  50  per  cent. 

Your  Committee  have  examined  the  reports  of  many 
adjoining  roads,  as  well  as  those  farther  North  and  South, 
and  find  that  the  per  centage  of  expense  on  this  Eoad  is 
less  than  any  other  in  like  situation  and  doing  a  full  busi- 
ness. 

Your  Committee  have  made  a  thorough  investigation  of 
all  the  expenditures  on  the  road,  with  a  view  of  arriving  at 
some  conclusion  as  to  how,  and  where  a  reduction  should 
be  made. 

The  main  channel  of  outlay  is  the  item  of  salary,  wages, 
and  labor,  both  on  the  Road  and  in  the  Shops — all  of  these 
we  have  examined,  and  are  of  the  opinion  that  no  reason- 
able deduction  could  be  made. 

It  is  true  that  the  pay  of  the  employees  of  the  Com- 
pany might  be  reduced,  and  the  Company  might  say  that 
only  a  certain  price  should  be  paid  for  each  class  of  services, 
but,  as  there  are  two  sides  to  every  bargain,  the  operative 
might  also  decline  to  take  the  price,  and  the  Company 


58 

might  be  forced  either  to  pay  higher  wages,  or  employ  in- 
ferior men. 

It  is  also  true  that  the  prices  now  paid  for  labor,  and 
indeed  for  services  of  all  kinds,  are  higher  than  in  the 
years  1853  and  1854,  and  those  years  during  the  first  run- 
ning the  Eoad.  Yet  this  is  easily  accounted  for,  from  the 
great  change  which  has  taken  place  in  both  the  political 
and  social  affairs  of  the  country.  Formerly,  the  majority 
of  the  labor  was  slave  labor,  good,  it  is  true,  for  the  purposes 
used,  and  cheap ;  now  there  is  no  such  thing.  Then  labor 
was  regarded  by  many  as  somewhat  degrading;  now,  under 
the  new  order  of  things,  labor  is  regarded  as  more  honor- 
able, and  is  assuming  its  proper  position  in  the  country, 
and  demanding  a  proper  compensation. 

It  is  due  to  the  employees  and  operatives  of  the  Com- 
pany, to  say  that  they  are  a  highly  honorable  and  respect- 
able body  of  men,  remarkable  for  sobriety  and  the  general 
interest  they  take  in  the  prosperity  of  the  Eoad,  who  have 
served  the  Company  faithfully  for  years,  and  it  would 
neither  be  just  or  honorable  for  the  Company  to  receive 
their  services  without  giving  them  a  remuneration  suffi- 
cient to  afford  a  decent  support  for  themselves  and  families. 

In  comparing  the  prices  paid  to  our  agents  and  employees 
with  those  paid  by  other  companies,  we  find  them  to  be 
less,  on  an  average,  for  like  services 

The  exhibit  made  by  the  accounts  of  the  receipts  of  the 
Company,  for  freights  and  passengers,  does  not  show  what 
we  have  really  earned  by  our  work,  and  what  we  should 
have  been  entitled  to  receive  by  a  fair  distribution  of  the 
money  earned  from  through  freights  and  passengers. 
Should  a  fair  pro  rata  division  of  these  earnings  have  been 
made,  the  income  of  this  Company  for  the  last  year  would 
have  exceeded  the  sum  of  $450,000. 

Such,  hov\'ever,  is  the  position  of  our  lload,  flanked  on 
either  side  by  competing  lines,  that  it  requiies  great  skill 
and  prudence  in  its  management  to  maintain  its  position 
as  a  paying  property.    While  it  is  much  to  be  regretted 


54 

that  we  have  been  placed  in  this  position,  yet  the  Com- 
mittee are  ot  the  opinion  that  the  arrangements  made  for  the 
last  year  by  the  Board  of  Directors  (however  hard  they 
may  have  operated)  were  the  best  that  could  be  effected, 
under  the  circumstances. 

What  is  to  be  done  for  the  future,  and  what  new  arrange- 
ments are  to  be  effected  in  the  various  changes  now  being 
made  in  the  course  of  trade  and  transportation,  are  ques- 
tions which  should  engage  the  serious  consideration  of  the 
Company. 

The  completion  of  the  Chatham  Eoad  to  a  junction 
with  the  Western  Eoad  at  Sandford,  opens  a  new  country, 
and  will  increase  the  business  over  this  Eoad.  The  lands 
along  the  line  of  the  Chatham  and  Ealeigh  &  Gaston 
Eoads  are  rich  and  productive ;  water  power  is  abundant ; 
the  climate  healthy  and  delightful.  Eich  in  minerals,  em- 
bracing the  lumber,  grain,  cotton,  tobacco,  fruit  and  wine  sec- 
tions, this  part  of  the  State  affords  a  fine  field  both  for  the 
capitalist  and  laborer.  Every  facility  should  be  afforded  to 
immigration,  so  that  this  section  should  be  settled  up,  and 
the  resources  of  the  country  be  developed. 

Situated  as  we  are,  it  becomes  a  matter  of  vital  neces- 
sity for  this  Company  to  use  every  exertion  to  foster  and  in- 
crease the  local  business  along  the  line  of  these  Eoads ; 
we  therefore  urge  the  erection  of  new  Depots,  &p. 

Since  the  last  meeting,  the  Board  of  Directors  have  re- 
duced the  tariff  on  local  freights.  By  reference,  you  will 
find  that  the  local  freights  on  this  Eoad  are  lower  than  on 
any  of  the  adjoining  roads  for  the  same  class  of  freight. 

The  roadway  is  in  good  order,  a  number  of  new  ties  put 
in,  and  a  great  portion  well  ballasted,  but  there  is  need  of 
more  ballasting.  Tar  Eiver  Bridge  is  being  rapidly  rebuilt, 
and  will  be  completed  by  the  fall.  This  will  be  a  fine,  sub- 
stantial structure,  and  will  last  for  many  years.  The  other 
bridges  are  in  good  repair,  and  are  considered  perfectly 
safe. 

The  Depots  are  in  good  repair,  and  well  kept. 


55 

The  Shops,  iu  Ealeigh,  are  in  fine  order,  and  reflect  much 
credit  on  the  Superintendent  and  Master  Machinist. 

Since  the  last  annual  meeting,  this  Company  has  met 
with  a  great  loss  in  the  death  of  George  W.  Mordecat, 
one  of  its  Directors.  Mr.  Mordecai  was  always  an  ar- 
dent friend  and  supporter  ot  the  Kaleigh  &  Gaston  Eail 
Eoad.  During  its  darkest  days  he  served  as  its  President, 
and  in  other  important  positions,  and  for  very  inadequate 
compensation.  He  was  an  able,  honest  and  good  man — a 
Christian  gentleman,  whose  loss  will  not  only  be  felt  by 
this  Company,  but  by  the  community  in  which  he  hved, 
and  the  whole  State. 

Eespectfully  submitted,
