| Enormous Dividends |
| Among the heartless and soulless
institutions of the age, that are making big piles of money at the
expense of the country, we may mention the Southern Railroads --
without an exception. These concerns, as we perceive, are declaring
the most enormous dividends, while they hardly pay the hands they
employ enough to buy bread with a little salt on it! especially the
hands dodging the war. And the poor soldiers fighting to protect these
roads and the property of the stockholders, are charged exorbitantly
for riding on them, or even for transporting on them a little box of
provisions. |

| Is this true? If it is, the Legislature
when it meets ought to take these corporations in hand and require the
to "mend their ways." |
