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. Congressman Brand Visits Winder Congressman Brand spent Mon day in Winder on business and is quite hopeful the Bell Overall plant may yet he saved to the stockholder's with the proper man agement and cooperation of cred itors and stockholders. He promised to do all in liis pow er to accomplish this result. Mr. and Mrs. L. Love and daugh ter. Ruth, spent last Sunday and Monday in Atlanta.

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. A DEPOSITOR.
