PLANTERS LABOR AND SUPPLY co.

At yesterdays session 1O,7l2
shares were represented. The min
utes of the previous meeting were
read and adopted.
Mr.. Baldwin spoke of the reports
in the Advertiser as being so garbled
and inaccurate that speakers were
placed in foolish and unfair light.
Their real remarks were heard only
by 20 or 80 men and read by 100.
He specially referred to yester-
days paper in which his remarks on
boiling should have referred to the
best methods of dealing with second
and third boilings, rs any person
knows that it pays best to get most
sugar from the first boiling. This
was a noticeable blunder. Mr..
Williams remarks about the mud
presses had been incorrectly re-
ported. and again it was said that
Mr.. Carter had read q report instead
of Hon. c. R. Bishop, and he
pointed out that Mr.. Alexander was
| in California and had never attended
a meeting. He referred especially
to the .41oeytiSer.
Mr.. Whitney said he had spoken
to Mr.. Carson about some errors
and that gentleman had promised to
correct them.
Mr.. w. o. Smith thought repor-
tiers should make correct reports as
they were present as matter OF
courtesy.
Mr.. Williams said it was very an
noying, but reporters were liable to
make mistakes as they possibly did
not understand the sugar business.
Mr.. T. III. Davies asked if any
person ceased to be sugar owner
If he also ceased to be stock owner
or was he still liable for debts of
the company.
Mr.. Dole thought that according
to their bylaws, he should cease to
be a stock owner, but that some ac!
ton would be necessary on the part
of the trustees before he ceased tc
be liable.
Mr.. Williams read report on fer
tilizers and seed cane accompanied
