R. COMPANY. Annual Meeting of inc Stockholders. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Northeaster a Railroad Company was held at the hall of the Planters' and Mechanics' Bank, on Wednesday, 7th April, 1809. A majority of tbe stock being respresented, the meeting was organized by calling the Hon. G. W. Clark, Mayor, to tho chair, and appoint? ing C. Wuliman secretary. The reports of tho President and Superin? tendent wore then read. PRESIDENT'S REPOBT. To the Stockholders of the Northeastern Rail? road Company : GENTLEMEN-We respectfully submit the fol? lowing report of the company's operations for the fiscal year ending 28th February, 1869 : The groes earnings have been.$264,161 89 The operating expenses havo been.145,4'"* 09 Balance.$108,726 30 Comparing these results with those of the preceding year, wo find as: In 18C7-'C8.

It is also to be accounted tor, in some measure, by the reductions of our tariffs, which were made during the year, in the hope ot extending and increasing our business. Their failure to do this can only bo ascribed to the absence of other elements equally necessary to the recupe? ration of these interests, which it v. as neither in our power or province to supply, and hence the very limited requirements for the facilities we were prepared to extend. In a word, the country both contiguous to, and remote from, our Une has not afforded us a business propor? tionate to our capacities. The evidence of this appears in the fact that daring the past yeal* we should have trans sorted but 18,988 bales of cotton, as against 26,691 bales the previous ?ear, and 68,401 bales io 1860. We are not, owever, to suppose that this state of things is to become permanent, or that the im? provement which is perceptible in other sections of the State is not, eventually, tb be realized in those of which our road is the natural outlet. It may be grad? ual and even slower . than elsewhere, bat al? ready we ara seeing some gratifying evidences of a change for the better. 80 far as the local and through travel are conoerned, we have given ample accommodations to both, without oeriviug adequate returns from either. In view of the general prostration above alluded to, our local population could not be expected to move with tho freq uenoy, and in the numbers which it foimerly did. Experience shows that these depend less upon the single item of fare than upon an expansion of its wants with the moana of satisfying them, and meeting the in? cidental expenses connected with a departure from home. Until, therefore, our people be? come wealthier, these movements will necessa? rily be restricted to the more pressing demands, of business, With this view, however, of en? couraging them gs far as possible, we bava adopted the praotioe of issuing commutation tiokets i? wav rte&ons. ontitlinur their purchaser to a specific amount of transportation at one-half our regular rates. That our through travel should not have increased will occasion no surprise, in consequncce of the delayed re cons traction of the Savannah and Charleston Road. Ino break which it has pres mted in tbe otherwise continuous Atantio Coast Line of roads, extending from St. Marks, Fla., to Portland, Me., has, unquestionably, turned from us, and from our olty, a large proportion of the travel constantly passing between these extremities. Our operating expanses have been brought to that point beyond which they could not be farther reduced, without detriment to the company's interest, and the serious deteriora? tion of its property. A rigid oMiiomy should, of course, be observed, but if carried to that extreme which provokes accident and loss of property, it would boenme unwise and ovon criminal. A certain expenditure is unavoida? ble - the roadway and rolling stock, iron, bridges, culverts, Ac, must all receive the same attention aud repair, whether or not oar trains carry their fall complement of freight, or one instead of ono hundred passengers. It is true a moro extended service would some? what swell our expenses, but the ratio of our profits therefrom would be greatly increased. From the foregoing review of oar reooipts and expenditures, the inference would seem cor? rect, that they havo touched their lowest level, and if, since the close of the war, they have yielded a net income equal to the annual interest of ihe company, on its various classes ot indebtedness, arnonntim? to some $90,000, there is a reasonable certainty of their doing so in future. The prospect of a dividend is stilt remote, and so entirely dependent upon the general improve? ment of the country, and especially tho con? struction ot new Hues or feeders to extend the .sphere of our operations, that any anticipa? tions wo might express upon this point would be too problematical to have any value. At present we can only deal with the facts and prjbabihties looking to that result. Dy the repent action of our Legislature, all tho ob? stacles to the reconstruction of tho Savannah Road hate beeu. removed, and weare now as? sured of tbe determination o? tho com.-any ni charge of it to restore, st the earliest possible date, the valuable connections which it ?for morly afforded. To ua those aro of vital im? portance; indood, that road may bo regarded an an extension of this. Wo havo, alBo, tho pleasure of stating lo you tho revival of tho charter of the South Carolina Central Railroad, mainly by tho citizen8 of Sumter and Cia'en don, and under which they propose to con? struct a road about forty-five milos long, from Sumter, via Manning, lo Gourdin's Station ou this road. This will place Sumter withm ninty" floe miles of Charleston, as row against ono hundred and Unity milos via King ville, and one hundred and forty-ono milos via Florence. As it will bring lier noaror to Charleston than to Wilmington by fifty-one miles, wc may safely asBumo that nearly all of tho businoss ot that interior thriving town and its surround? ing country will thou sook our market ovor this as "tho shortest, quickoBt and cheapost routo." Ita oourso through Cia rond?n will open to the producers of naval stores and lumber an extended and profitablo field of labor, und be the means of bringing iuto active cultivation many valuable, but now neglected plantations. Our prosont financial condition is not, perhaps, ono to warrant our assisting this enterprise to the extent which it dosorves, but we should certainly afford it all the aid and encourage? ment in our power. lu passing, wo would warmly commend it. to tho attention of our merchants. Wo havo also to notice an increas? ing interest in tho construction of tho Chora v and Salisbury Road, especially among influen? tial parties iu North Carolina, which, it is hoped, will result in some activo measures for its construction. Tho statements of tho troasurer, herewith submitted, will ahoi? that there remained at the credit of Prent and loss account at tho closo of tho past year.$ 10,400 14 Since which it has been fut thor credited with proceeds of transportation for 18G8 and I860,.,. 108,725 SO ?119,13* 44 And charged with Interest on bonded dobtand current in? forest. ?93,665 78 Loss of stock in Society lilli snd Marlboro' Bridge Com? pany . 2.3S7 65 Bigot of way, previously unset tied. 1,011 00-97,014 83 Leaving a balance at credit of profit and | loss.* 22,120 ll Tho following will appear as tho indebted? ness: on the 28th of February, 18G9 : 1400 first mortgage bonds, of $500 each, duo september 1, 1809..8 700.000 00 290 Boeoud mortgage bonds, of $600 each, due September 1, 1868. 145,000 00 3100 shares preferred stock, $50. 155,000 00 Certificates of indebtedues* (for interest prtor lo March 1st, 1807). 107.705 14 Outstanding interest to 1st .varch, 1807. 111,622 31 Outs;andinx interest, due iu cash. 5 983 30 Beal estate bonds. 28,000 00 Bills payable. 23,668 66 Profit and loss. 22,120 ll Stockholders'.. 898,950 00 $2,198,007 62 To meet this indebtedness, we have the road (102 miles long), with its side inge, equipments. ic, at a cost of.$2,148,130 65 And assets. 49,876 87 Total.$2,198,007 52 The amount of second mortgage bonds, ori? ginally issued, was $300,000- ot which $146,000 were sold-the remaining $155,000 were subse? quently pledged and deposited with trustees, as a security for a corresponding amount of preferred stock, say $155,000. This preferred stock is then, virtually, a substitute for that amount of second mortgage bonds. AB stated above, the company's first mort? gage bonds, amounting to $700,000, mature on the 1st of September, 1869. while the second mortgage bonds for $300,000 are past due, having matured on the 1st September, 1868. Of the coupons representing the interest on the first, and unpaid up to March 1st, 1867, thero are still outstanding about $92,000, and of those representing the interest on tho sec? ond, and in tho same position, there remain about $22,000. rheao, with our past duo bonds, are now held bv comparatively few parties, who have submitted to a delay iu their settlement, until they could bo embraced in the general plan of the company for the readjustment of their entire deb?, to take effect iu September next. Wo are also indebted iu a balance of $28,000 on certain bonds for re tl estate in the city, purchased in 1853, and duly secured by a mortgage thereon. The liquidation of this balance, within a reasonable peri? od, was confidently expected, but the financial condition of the company at that time did not permit it, and hence the mort? gage upon this small moiety of their property romaine, uud is. of UUUXSP, anteoadent to thoso executed in 1855 and 1857 fox the security re? spectively of their First and Second Mortgage Bonds. In thc readjustment of our debt it would therefore be inexpedient and propor to consider these real estate bonds asmmong our first mortgage bonds, and to be absorbed by them, that the special mortgage thereon may be duly cancelled. We would, then, propose to you to consohdito and renew this whole indebtednes by the isauo of 1640 bonds, ot $500 each, amounting to $820,000, to he dated 1st September, 1869, and payable 1st Sen temi, er, 1899, bearing 7 per oent. interest, payable semi? annually, by coupons attached, to be styled "First Preferred Bonde," and by another issue o? 644 bonds, of the same date, tenor and amount each, as the first, for $322,000, to bo styled "Second Preferred Bonds," both to be secured by one General Mortgage upon the en? tire property, rights, franchises, &c, of the company, uulv expressing the order, and de? aning the conditions of these preferences, and heir relations to eaoh other. The First Pre 'erred Bonds should then be offered in renewal >f, or exchange for, our old. ?irut mortgage bou ts for.$700,COO Outstanding interest and interest thereon.. 92,000 -teal estate bonds.,. 28,000 # $820,000 Ind the second preferred bonds should be applied to our old second mortgage bonds for.$300,000 mtstanding coupons and interest thereon 92,000 $822,060 daking our bonded debt.$1,142,000 The plan we have here indicated is, substan ially, the one which bas been adopted by other lompanics under einiiiar ciroumatanoes, and to vhich, as we conceive, when the extinguish nant of the debt is an admitted impossibility, io just exception can be taken. A recourse to egal measures of a coercive oharaoter would ?suit in no actual benefit, especially while the tdministration of the - road is, practically, for lie benefit of the bondholder. If it be con? coded that all the income is being de? rived from tho property which it is capa? rte of producing, and that no part thereof s being appropriated by the stockholder. >ut on the contrary, is being faithfully ipplied to his obligations to tho bondholder, hen a reasonable regftrd on tho part of the utter for the interests o? the former, should luggest a prompt acquiescence in the plan we lave here indicated. Its details havo had pur tarerai attention, and as these have also been approved by eminent legal counsel, it is now lubmitted for your consideration, in the belief hat it will fully meet all the objects in view, Md prove acceptable to our creditors, i It afford* Us pleasure to state to you the gen nraliy good condition of the road and its struc ;ures. Puring the past year considerable at? tention has boen given to the widening of outs md embankments, Hhd the improved oratnago >f the roadbed. The iron ls in very fair con lition, indeed, we may say that there are few f any bars in the track sufficiently worn or am ma ted to require removal. The motive rower, consisting of twelve locomotives, is all [with the exception of one) in running order. rVe have 67 box and 48 platform oars, 12 first ind second-class passenger oars, 8 baggies ind 2 mail and express cars. Though much >f this rolling stock is of an advanced age, moh attention has been given to it that we ibink it will answer our purposes another veer, without further expenditure than are ordinari? ly classed under "ourrent repairs." For fur? ther inform?t ion and details as to the general operations of thor ad and its machinery, you >T6 respect fully referred to the accompanying report of thc Sup> nntendent. They certainly exhibit, a regularity of servioe and an exemp? tion from accident which indicate a commend iblo attention and watchfulness on the part of >ur subordinate officers and employees. In conclusion, it becomes our melancholy ?uty to report to yen two vacancies in the Board of Directors, occasioned by tho death of 'Jolonel T). L. McKay, on the 18th January last, and that of Colonel Allan Maofarlan, on the 21st ultimo. At different periods in the earlier history of tho company, each of these gentlemen had been its presiding ofiloor, and although relinquishing this position for other pursuits more congenial to their tastes, still thoir interest in tho final success of the com? pany was unabated, and in their removal we ire conscious of the' loss of friends and asso? ciates, than who.a none could have been more lincere and otrrnost in their efforts to promote ho general welfare of the company. All of which ie respectfully submitted. A.
