59 inability to meet obligations brings. The Ala- bama and Chattanooga Railroad Company failed to pay the interest which fell due Jan. 1, 1871, ^ and with this the trouble began. The State took possession of the road, and ultimately sold it, after liaving paid out nearly a million dollars in interest on its bonds, and after having become responsible for the payment of $312, 000 in receiver's fees, and 1140, 000 in employees' wages. After all this she was still liable for the indorsed and direct... bonds, and was obliged subsequently to com- promise them all. By 1873 the other subsidized railroad companies had defaulted, and she became responsible for the interest on over $18, 000, 000 of bonds in addition to the burden of her regular debt. Of course she was obliged to suspend the payment of interest, and her debt thus increased with frightful rapidity from year to year.
The State made many laudable attempts to meet her increasing obligations, and to provide for the payment of her debts in full.
