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

“Christmas comes but once a year,” was
