K UeW r<UIr0ad exton??on iich has been made in the South since the outbreak of the European war? the 85 miles now being structed between Charleston and Sa vannah. The completion of thUjink now rapidly under way, giTe8 tSW board by far the shorter line from the east to Florida and puts it in a commanding position for iWda trav el and traffic froqi the east. It is understood that the Seaboard stockholders' meeting will ratify the Wh,Ch hfts alreadr been ratified by the stockholders of the Carolina-Atlantic and Western rail becomeB a part of the Seaboard Air Line railway system. A very large percentage of the total capital stock of the Seaboard is already in hand to be voted by proxy at the special stockholders' meeting Work Of Warfleld. , ?re,e.yearB ag0- s- Navies Warfleld, be Baltimore financier, a native of the ?outh, and closely related to its tra dition and history, conceived and put into execution the plan for the acqui sition of the large holdings of Sea board stocks then in the hands of New York interests, Mr. Warfleld becoming the largest individual stockholder and chairman of the board of directors. This was far-reaching in its purpose, not only providing for " locating the control Of the stock |? the hands o? the people of the South, but the in troduction into the board of directors of leading business men of this sec tion, the removal of the executive of flees from New York to the South and the selection of a Southern-born rail road president whose successful ca reer insured to the system an experi enced operating head, W. J. Hanahan being chosen. At the, head of the traf fic department as vice president is an other native of the South, Charles R Capps, who for over twenty-five years has been identified with this property successfully advancing from a minor position to the important place he now occupies. When this was accomplished Mr. Warfleld undertook plans for perma nently financing the property and lib erally taking care of its needs for the development of the territory which it traverses. Th.e Southern directors are Robert F. Maddox and Mills B. Lane of Georgia, A. H. Woodward of Alabama, -4^.Tali;teiTp_pf Florida^jGaorge W. Watts of North Carolina, Fergus Reid, W. J. Harahan and Charles B. Capos of Virginia. jn the board are also J. William Middendorff and Townsend Scott of Baltimore and Mr. Warfleld chairman of the board and of the ex ecutive and finance committees. Scope Of The Plans The plans which were worked out and prepared by Mr. Warfleld and unanimously approved by the board of directors in August last are far-reach ing in their results. Not only are the financial requirements of the property cared for, but the financial structure is simplified. The mileage is increased by 416 miles of new railroad, includ ing the entrance into two additional soaports and a second track over an important part of the system. The new company to be formed by this consoldiation will execute a mort gage authorizing an issue of |300, 000,000 of bonds, of which there will now be issued 125,643,000, designated as series "A." This issue will be the only portion of the new mortgage brought out at this time, and leaves ovor 90 per cent of the authorized issue to take care of the future needs of the consolidated system. This in dicates the permanent character of ! this flnanefng. In connection with the. present issue Mr. Warfleld has brought together a strong syndicate of investors, the new issue of bonds being sold to a banking syndicate headed by the Guaranty Trust company, National City bank Chase National bank and Bankers' Trust Company of New York, th< Continental Trust Company of Balll more and other financial taaUtution* in New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Boa ton, Philudolpbjfc Pittsburg, Havai u nail, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Burning Ta,np,l? Norfolk, Charlotte, Iial eigb, m i Oteyelwd, Cincinnati, ban J< raneiaoo, Milwaukee, Detroit, Louisville, Columbus, Seattle, Denver Now Orleans, Buffalo, Syracuse, Roch' eater, Wilmington, Newark and Al bany. Mr. Warfleltl'a plan to have the Sea board a strong Southern property has been followed with such success that the wisdom of this policy is recognized and indorsed by the Investment which these bankers have agreed to make in this property. This is a atriking and eventful chapter in the development of a railroad in the South attracting widespread attention because of the magnitude of this financial undertak ing completed by Mr. Warfleld In the face of the conditions at the time brought about by the European war. 6 Mr. Warfleld'* Statement At the time the directors of the Sea board approved the plans submitted cba,rman. Mr. Warfleld said: The Seaboard Air Line rfcllway will be consolidated with the Carolina-At lantlc and Western railway under the corporate name of the Seaboard Air L ne^ Railway company. The Carolina Atlantic and Western Ral! is n rA. cent consolidation of the North and South Carolina, Charleston Northern and .South Carolina railroads, operat ic a^otal of 41(1 miles. The Caroilna AUantic and Western railway recently acquired the Qeorgetown and West ern railroad, operating from Lanes to Georgetown, S. C., and from Andrews to the Pee Dee river, South Carolina, | a distance of 70 mile% The Charleston ! Northern railway is the line recently completed, connecting the North and South Carolina railroad with the city of Charleston, giving the Seaboard en trance into Charleston, and now be coming a part of the main line of the consolidated system. The new termi nals at Charleston are admirable, both as to location and facilities. The line will be extended from Charleston to Savannah by the imme diate construction of 85 miles of rail road with a maximum grade of only 3-10 of 1 per cent. This new line will also become part of the main line of the consolidated system. ?This will give the Seaboard Air Line Railway company?the new com pany growing out of the consolidation of the above-mentioned properties? n low grade line from Hamlet, N. C., to Savannah, Ga. ^y this new line the Seaboard will roach Georgetown, S. C. t Charleston, S. C., and Savannah; will tap a rich and fertile territory, highly .productive in cotton and tobacco; will admit of the Seaboard's running time to the South being shortened; will cre ate a line with maximum grade of only Vz of 1 per cent, as compared with 114 per cent the maximum grade of the present line *to Savannah ? and will permit the increase of the full train load 127i? per cent. In effect, this will give the Seaboard, through South Carolina, from Hamlet, N. C., to Sa vannah, Ga., two lines (the other lines running via Columbia) each one' self supporting in its own territory. In this way, also will be obviated the neces sity of double-tracking the Hamlet-Co lumbia line, where traffic is becoming congested. The territory to be opened up between Charleston and- Savannah is generally Well adapted to the grow ing of vegetables, corn, rice and sea island cotton, and will put the Sea hoard immediately into Charleston's heaviest vegetable-producing section. "The Seaboard Air Line Railway company the ? new company ? will have a first and consolidated mortgage securing an authorized issue of $300 000,000 bonds, of variable interest rates and maturities. This mortgage will be immediately a first lien on jthe 41(> miles of main line track botwoen Hamlet and Savannah, via Charleston, Lanes and Georgetown, S. C., located on the Hamlet-ColUmbia line, to Flor ence, Boston, Sumter and Timmons ville, S. C. There will be pledged as collateral under the new mortgage a majority $22,361,000 ? of the out standing refunding 4 per cent bonds of the Seaboard. Air Line railway. There will be Issued presently un ? der the hew first and consolidated mortgage $22,893,000 6 per cent ^30 year gold bonds. A part is to be used in exchange for underlying bonds of constituent companies. The balanco has been sold, the proceeds to be used for the construction of the new lino from Charleston to Savannah; for the retirement of equipment trust ob ligations falling duo during the year ending June 30, 1916; for the retire ment of the $6,000,000 3-year notes due March 1, 1916; for tho acquisition I of certain new property, and for Im provements, betterments, etc. "It was believed to be to the best interests of the property to make im mediate arrangements for the near fu ture, well as for present financial requirements.

Securities Already Advanced As outlined in tho foregoing state ment by Mr. War^e^> it Is pointed out that under tho new financial plans and consolidation all classes of securi ties of the Seaboard Air Line railway would be greatly benefited, not only the bonds of the railway and its con stituent properties, but both issues of preferred and common stock would bo made more valuable. That this is gen erally recognized 1b evidenced by tho large increase in the market quota tions of the stocks, and all Seaboard securities, resulting after the knowl edge on the part of the stockholders of th/e value to the securities under the proposed financial arrangements and as additional evidence of the man ner in which the plans have been re ceived by the stockholders.
