| The Annual meeting of this Company was
held here last week; but the absorbing interest of the war led us, as
no doubt it has many others, to overlook the doings of that very
respectable body of men who usually assembly to look after the
concerns of this great Road. It was presided over by that venerable
and most worthy public servant, Hon. J. M. Morehead. B. B. Roberts,
Esq., and some other very clever gentleman, not now remembered, were
Secretaries. A number of good things were pleasantly said by the
gentlemen who participated in its deliberations during the short time
we were present on Friday morning. Business was despatched speedily
and in excellent temper; so much so, that we felt a real pleasure at
the meeting for the first time in many years., |
| An election was held on Friday for four
Directors on the part of Stockholders, which resulted in the choice of
Messrs. Caleb Phifer, Gen. McRae, Giles Mebane and Thos. Webb. At a
subsequent meeting of the Board, (which in addition to the above
gentlemen, comprises Messrs. Paul C. Camero9n, D. M. Barringer, Wm. T.
Dortch, John I. Shaver, Delamy R. Gorrel, Sam'l Hargrave and T.
Hawkins,) Mr. Paul C. Cameron was elected President. |
| We have not received a copy of the annual
reports, and can think of no particular action of this meeting
deserving of special notice here. |
