G. w. WILLIAMS.
w. A. COURT ENAY.
J. p. SOUTHERN.

Mr.. Holmes moved the following rcsolu-
t;ons. which. on motion of Major Gavin, wero
laid on the table:
Resolued, That it bc referred to the dlrec-
tors of tho road to inquire into the expcdioncy
of Joclaring dividend, payable in receive
oIes. with power tc act on tie subject.
ResoIued. That il bc referred to Tho difec-
tors to inonire into the expcdiency cf allowing
stockholders free tickots, i'll soinc ra.ic, pro
portionate to their stock, or 20 the Votes to
which stockholders are entitled, with power to
act on the subject.
Mr.. Holmes in introducing these resolutions
said that there was at present great dis
cr;mination between stockholders in the coun-
rrv and stockholders residing in Charleston.
The former, under resolution adopted some
wears ago, had the privilege, if owning five
shares. of bringing their entire families over the
road to this city at the time Of the annual meet
ing of the company, and of taking them back
over the road, wholly free of charge. Those in
the city. on the other hand, although they may
hold five hundred shares, have not the privilege
Of free pass over the road even once year.
This was an improper discrimination. Tho
stockholders receive no dividends, and many
of them have no means whercwith to travel.
Under tho first resolution now offered, if each
holder of half q share received ono dollar, and
of each whole share tTo dollars, in the Bills
Receivable OF the company, which would only
take about Sic, ,OOO-less than tho earnings Of
the road for one month-this difficulty would
in measure bo obviated, and the s.ocllhold-
ers would have the power to travel ovor the
road. II it were practicable to mako this divi-
dend, his second resolution would be unneces-
sary. He would move, however, that both be
referred to the President and Directors with
the power to act on the subject.
Mr.. Alonzo J. White opposed the first reso-
luton then before the meeting. He said that
it was nothing more than proposition to Dor
row money and incur debt. The company was
not suffering for want OF dividends, but for want
of confidence, unless the affairs of the compa'
ny are worse than they would appear to be-
| Economy-judicious economy-was needed;

Mn. EDlror.-l believe when man is call
ed npon hy the press to answer for tho per-
Torrance Of public duties he is expected to
respond. The RErrcL,cAN in late issue took
up n matter that has been going the rounds
Of the papers purportiug scarcity & bibles
in Bello Plaine and called for the Bible agent.
Now 90 Belle Plane happens to be in my
field Of labor, in that capacity suppose that
am expected to respond. The coming year
will DO three years since organized . branch
Of the Benton County Biblc Society at Belle
Plainc and have had meeting Of the Society
and reelected the ofhcors and reappoin,ed
local agents and set them again at their work.
Iu the regular discharge Of my duty, l shall
hayo to perform the same duty again in .
month or two. At the time Of the organiza,
ton l furnished Mr.. A. G. Brown the Tressu.
rer elect with nearly fifty dollars worth Of
Bibles and Tcstamcnts which he and the To-
cal agents soon mostly disposed Of, and from
time to time since that hs has been supplied
with more as occasion required, until the last
half year, the variety has not been 90 full as
would be desirable, but will soon be replen-
ished il It has not already been. The local
agents have performed their work with in
strsctions not to leave single house without
bible unless they positively refused to ac>
cept Of one even as donation. And also no.
to leave single child that could read with.
out copy Of tho new testament unless they
refuse it even as donation. So that proba.
bly, there would be but little risk in saying
that every house In the town has a.bible in it,
and moro on sale in the Depository Of the
branch society in the town. Will the Belle
Plaine Transcript and other papers that have
aided 10 circulate the error, please copy?
