CHARTKR RENEWAL
LEGALITY is tested
! Atlanta.—Owing to Its attack on thf
legality of charter renewals, tha re
ceivership proceedings of tha Consol
idated Textile corporation against the
Exposition cotton mills Is of Interest
to every corporation in the state which
operate under a superior -court chan
ter, acccordlng to Morris Blandon,
counsel for the defendant.
The Consolidated Textile corpora
tion, as a minority stockholder. Is
seeking the dissolution and liquidation
of the Exposition mills on the ground
that the charter renewal, under which
It is operating la Illegal.
It Is the contention of the plaintiff
(that a superior court can legally re
new a charter only one time. The
petition shows that the Expoeltlon
mills are now functioning by author
ity of a second renewal of their char
ter.
According to Attorney Brandon, the
question raised by the Consolidated
Textile corporation has never been
eubmlted to the Georgia courts.
If the point is sustained, tt was
shown, a corporation, after operating
for the 20-year period covered by ttß
original charter and of another like
period covered by a renewal, would
find It necessary to liquidate.
Hearing on the receivership suit has
Been set for July T. Counsel for the
defendant has characterised the so-
Jtlon as an attempt to "freese out"
local stockholders by purchasing the
assets of the company at a receiver's
■ale.

This Editor Don’t Mince-
Here is a truth well told: A
man may use a wart on the back
of his neck for a collar button,
ride in the back coach of a rail
road train to save interest on his
money till the oonducter gets a
round, stop his watch at night to
save wear and tear, leave his “i”
or *‘t” without a dot or cross to
save ink, pasture his mother’s
grave to save corn; but a man of
this sort is a gentleman compar
pared to the fellow who will take
a newspaper two or three years
and when asked t settle for it
puts a it in the postoffice and has
it marked ‘‘refused.” —Cedar-
