THAT AUGUSTA MEETING.
The One Which Elected Mr.. Conner
Was the Legal One.

The One Which Elected Mr.. Conner
Was the Legal One.
The meeting of the stockholders of the
Augusta and Knoxville, reported in yes
terdays dispatches to the MORNING
NEWS, has excited considerable comment
from the fact that there was split in
the convention which grew out of an at
tempt to rule the stock held by the Cen
tral railroad out of the proceedings en-
tirely.
There was only one meeting" said
MI. Conner yesterday, when asked about
II. There can be no meeting unless a
majority OF the stock is represented.
Inc trouble grew out Of an attempt on
!h9 part Of some men present at the meet
In|' who held a few proxies or a few
Sh3res of stock, to diSfranchise the stock
neld by the Central railroad because, as
they SAID, Central stock hold by the Rich
mona Terminal company had been dis
lranchlSed. The mistake they made in the
comparison was that the stock held by
Ine Iermlnal had been declared to be held
Illegally, while the right Of the Central to
nold It's stock in the Port Royal and
western Carolina was questioned only
by those who were parties to the meeting.
Inc right of the Central to hold
Ihls stock and to vote it in all elections
mas never so far been questioned in the
courts, consequently it has the voting
power with which it was endowed when
issued.
, The only objection. that was made to
the voting of the Central stock was made
IN the meeting. Thus those who joined
me Conner meeting say for these reasons
mat there was only one meeting, as a
majority Of the stock was represented in
The meeting which elected Mr.. Conner
president.
The inference to be drawn is that the
action taken by the minority meeting,
among which was the resolution demand
