VOLUME tt. NO. 47
DIRECTORS OF BELL CO.
IN MEETING MONDAY
Concensus of Opinion This Big
Plant Might Yet Qet Matters
Adjusted.
A meeting of the Bell Manufact
uring Company was held here last
Monday afternoon at which the at
torneys for the company were pres
eat.
Congressman Brand was associ
ated with Judge Johns as represen
tatives for the plant and it was
the unanimous concensus of opin
ion of every one present that this
great enterprise which has been
worth so much to our city and
county could yet get matters ar-
ranged or adjusted so as not to (
hurt the stockholder's and the
creditors.
In conjunction with the direc
tors and the business men of Win
der Congressman Brand and Judge
Johns said they would use every
effort in their power to bring about
this result.
It would be a great blessing to
all in this section u).' Georia if this
could be accomplished.
When an individual or a corpor
ation is forced into bankruptcy it
is a calamity to that particular
section and generally a total loss
to those who have invested their
money with the individual or cor
poration.
The fees of the attorneys and
other officials in a bankruptcy
proceedings generally get all the
proceeds and the hard-earned in
vestments of those so vitally inter
ested are a complete loss.
In these distressing times it
seems almost a crime to advise
creditors to place an enterprise in
to bankruptcy if there is any pos
ble chance of bringing about a
.settlement.
It is truly to he hoped this en-|
terprise can yet he pulled through
without any hurt to the stock
holders.
If we were a lawyer we would
have much remorse of conscience
if we advised bankruptcy pro
ceedings in a period like the one
we arc now experiencing, if it pos
sibly could he avoided, however,
tempting the fee might be. We
would feel we were taking that
fee out of the honest proceeds of
men and women, which perhaps
might mean their ruin, and pov
erty to those dependent on them.

son, Mr. Van Wilhite, and three
daughters, Mrs. B. B. Barnett and

$1.50 IN ADVANCE
OPPOSES BANKRUPTCY PRO
CEEDINGS AND SHOWS IT
NOT TO INTEREST OF DE
POSITORS OF BETHLEHEM
BANK.
Last week a mass meeting wait
called in Winder for the purpose
of restoring confidence in our fcl
iowman and every one was urged
to put liis shoulder to the wheel
and pull together. A member of
our legal fraternity was present
to tell us of the great effort on
their part to keep their clients
from going into bankruptcy. It
was a fine meeting and everybody
departed feeling good.
Think of the change that has
taken place within less than a.
week. Here we find a fellow citi
zen, the former president of the
Hell Manufacturing Company and
the president of the Bethlehem
Banking Company doing every
thing in his power to prevent bank
rupt proceedings against these two
institutions and himself personal
ly, while some of our fellow citi
zens are turning heaven and earth
to force all three into bankruptcy
and others are using one side of
their mouths to oppose bankrupt
proceedings and the other side to
encourage it.
What on earth have the depos
itors of the Bethlehem Banking
Company to gain by throwing it’*
president and the institution into
bankruptcy? Does it add to the
assets or take away from the as
sets ?
Tf the president of the Bethle
hem Banking Company is thrown
into bankruptcy, when t lie clouds
have cleared away and you have
received your little percent of
your • deposits, you are going to
wonder what on earth became of
1 lie assets belonging to the Beth
lehem Banking Company. When
you ask why you received
so little, you will be met with that
same old answer, that “After Col.
so and so, and Col. so and so, and
Col. so and so received their fees,
and Col. and Mr. so and so were
paid their fees as receivers, that,
lis all you had left.”
Every effort should be pul forth
to prevent bankrupt proceedings
at any time. Lawyers, receivers
and crooks arc the ones who n< r i
by bankrupt proceedings while
creditors stand aside empty hand
ed.
