A LOW CAPITALIZATION. The secret of the Company's success is to be attributed to the fact that, like other of the plantation Companies formed before the boom, the Company is capitalized on a conservative basis. The authorized capital of the Company per acre owned is less than £10, while the issued capital is equal to about £15 per planted acre. The significance of these
