DAITiY ENQUIRER • SUN : OOLUMBU8, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING DECEMBER 21, 1K86. General Alexander Making a Hard Fight for It. Thu ■*ndamiin Caw Vrard ie the Knprrlnr feart. Jartgr Adam* Orrrrale* tkr lotlea (A nimb* the Alternative Wrlt-8nnu> Af the Itcmien, Why the Directors Effete tA Open the Stork Lint far Inspection. Savannah News. The mandamus cose brought by General Alexander’s friends to compel the Central railroad officials to open for inspection tho stockholders’ list, came up in the superior court yesterday. An alternative writ was issued by Judge Adams on the relation of Major A. L.Hait- ridge. Captain Henry Blun, 13. M. Ureen, Mrs. H. V. Camming, Mrs. Louise Porter, Mrs. L. F. Gilmer and others, directing tho president and directors of the road to open for inspection the stock list, or to show reasons why they should not do so. When the case came up yesterday, Messrs. Law- ton and Saussy, counsel for tho railroad, moved a dismissal of the writ on the ground that a copy of the petition was not served. After lengthy argument from both sides Judge Adams overruled the motion. The counsel for the road then asked for further time to file their answer to the writ, and were allowc d until 0 o’clock last night. wny THEY OBJECT. The answer was filed a few minutes be fore tho time expired. It is an imbodi- ment of the reasons why tho president and directors denies the right of the petition ers to inspect the books of the company. 1. Because they do not know that the petitioners were stockholders of the cor poration at the time the writ of mandamus was filed, nor do they admit that they are now stockholders. 2. Because they have no money interest in the election for ft president and hoard of directors, which is to come off on Janu ary 3, unless it is in the office of president, he being the only salaried officer, and that tho importance of securing a competent board of directors does not constitute a money interest. NOT AN ESTABLISHED CUSTOM. 3. Because there is no established custom tlinta list of stockholders be published in the annual reports, as during tho fifty-one years’ existence of the road this publica tion has been made only fourteen times, and that neither tho charter nor by-laws of the company require this publication. 4. That although every fncility has been given the stockholders to do so, they have never objected to the action of the board of directors in January, 1883, in doing away with the annual publication of lists. 8. Because many stockholders object to the fact that they are holders being made public, and because the petitioners them selves have purchased for others a large number of shares of stock and have studi ously concealed the names of these pur chasers. MAY INSPECT THEIR ACCOUNTS. 6. They have never refused any of the petitioners, nor any stockholder, access to their own account. 7. That a canvass for a fit and proper board of officers is not a dispute, and does not give the petitioners the right to ask the court to compel an inspection of the books. 8. Because an individual stockholder has no right to a full and free inspection of the books. 9. That the charter does not allow such an inspection. 10. Because the petitioners have their remedy in the fact that the charter pro vides the manner and place whereby stock holders may have access to books and pa pers. ENTITLED TO CONTROL THE BOOKS. The respondents go on to show that by virtue of their office they are ontitled to the control of and an access to the books, and they deny that they have used this privilege in advancing their personal in terests. The next and final point made is that under the charter of tho corporation the directors nrc invested with wide pow ers and large discretion, and are made capable of exercising all such powers so as to best subserve the interests of the com pany. They have recognized the possi bility of a competing line or a syndicate of capitalists interested in competing lines purchasing a control of tho stock for the purpose of speculation, and they did not regard this control in the interests of stockholders who might thus be left in the minority or in the interest of the state. TO PROTECT T1IE STOCKHOLDERS. That many holders of stock in the road live out of reach of current information ns to market prices, and that if a list was made public speculators would lie enabled to buy their stock in a method frequently resorted to by them. This method is to depress the price in open market and at the same time buy up large quantities from unsuspecting parties at leas than the true value, though the price paid may be a little in advance of the market quota tion. The directors therefore claim the right and believe it to be a duty to exercise their discretion in guarding tlie interest of the stockholders. The ease will coino up agnin early this Week. Free* Trade. Tho reduction of internal revenue and tho taking off of revenue stamps from Pro prietary Medicines, no doubt lias largely benefited tho consumers,os well as relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Es pecially is this tho case with Green’s Au gust Flower and Bosehee’s German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 7ft cents size. Tho August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized coun tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size. octl2 d&wly A Big Price for Standing.
