Carmack's ElOouence.

At the unveiling of the statute erect
ed at Dyersburg in honor of the late
Senator Bate speeches were made by
Senators Carmack and Frazier and
Gov. Davis, of Arkansas. Senator
CArmack was the principalrspsaks and
in the course of HE remarks paid this
eloquent tribute to the lansntvd dead
"As the years pass avery aueh occa
sion becomes less . reunion of the liv-
ing and more and more commemorative
of the dead.
''To theipast 60 more dead faces,
Every year,
AS the dead leave vacant places,
Every year"
"Fseblsr and fseblsr grow tie mort
oil voices Of our heroic host, louder and
clearer swella the rejoicing chorus on
the farther shore.
Every year some voice ia silent ct
the roll call, some familiar face is abb
sent from the ranks. Since last you
met, one of the knightliest heroes that
ever drew sword or lowered like Mars
on the red edge'of battle has laid down
the burden Of this weary life and pass
cd over to the other side of the river to
rest in the shade of the trees. With
arms reversed and muffied drum, the
soldiery and the citizenship of Tsnnes-
see; yea, the whole South, bore his
mortal part to their last sad resting
place, covered his grave with flowers,
bedewed them with their tears. I be-
lieve that when that loving but sorrow
full scene was snacting the noble heroic
spirit of William B. Bate smiled down
from heaven and breathed benedic-
tion upon his countrymen and his COM
rades in arms. believe that his spirit
is with us today and that it will remain
to animate your children and your
children's children, and queer them on
to victories of peace more glorious and
renowned that those of war.
''It was not my lot to share his peril
on the red field of Shiloh; it was not
my fortune to follow him on the blood
bought plains of Chickamauga, but I
can speak to You as one who learned to
love him living, to revere him dead; as
one who knew his lofty and unsullied
patriotism, his perfect integrity of soul
who knew that he was model of civic
virtues in time of peace as he was a
shining example of martial vaIor in
time of war.
GAS you have seen him brave death
with the courage Of soldier, SO at the
last he met death with the calm and in
trepid fortitude OF Christian. 1t came
to him not as the king of terrors, but
as blessed messenger to bear his war
broken frame to the loved dust of Ten
nessee, his spirit to the everlasting
comradeship of the sainted dead.
"He gave his honors to the world
again, his blessed part to heaven, and
slept in deace."

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

The temporary restraining order
which had been granted in the cause
was dissolved and the court refused to
appoint receivers, the opinion conolud-
ing with the statment that the court
does not at this time dispose of the
questions raised by the defendants re-
lating to the good faith OF the COM
plainant, the Union Trust Company,
in instituting and prosecuting this
suit.
At several points in the opinion the
incapacity of the Union Trust company
and its inability to meet its obligations
to thesyndicate subscribers, is referred
to as tending to show that the forma-
tion of the Clinchfeld corporation was
wise move for the syndicate subscri-
| hers.

VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TO SELL.

George l.. Carter conveyed to the
Clinchfeld corporation twenty six
six miles of railroad which he had pur :
based since the formation of the syn
ydicate, and was himself one of the di-
rectors and vice president and geners !
manager of the Clinchfeld corporation.
Various attempts were made by the
Clinchfeld corporation to dispose of
the properties, but all without success
until the sale to Garter, which Is at
tackled in this suit, was made. The
Union Trust company claiming to act
for the stockholders OF the Clinchfeld
corporation, but really because its
interests would be best subserved by
taking over the ,Clinchfield properties
by those who now insist that the sale
to Garter should be declared void, at
tackled the sale on the ground that the
directors did not have power to sell all
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1905-04-20

the assets of the corporation, and that
the sale to Garter was for an made
quate consideration, and that as O di-
rector he could not purchase the prop
critics of the corporation. To this end
a meeting of stockholders was at
tempted to be held by the Union Trust
company and others on January 90,
1905, at Bristol, Va, at which it was
attempted to disaffirm the contract
with Garter and to remove all the di-
rectors of the corporation upon the
ground of improper conduct in making
the sale to Garter and to elect new di-
rectors.

REVIEW OF JUDGE
GOFF'S DECISION
IN CLINCHFIELD CASE
SuStainS Mr.. Carter's Conten-
tons in Every Particular.
Jurisdiction Argued.
Bristol Herald:

Bristol Herald:
The decision of Judge Nathan Goff,
of the United States Circuit court in
the suit of the Union Trust Company,
Of Baltimore, against Mr.. Geo. L. Car
ter and the Clinchfield Corporation,
handed down at Richmond Friday af-
ternoon, is of considerable interest to
the people of Bristol and this section
of the country generally. The decis-
ion was upon the motion of the COM
plainants for an order restraining the
directors OF the Clinchfeld Corpora
ton from delivering to Mr.. Carter the
stock of that company and applying
for an appointment of receivers. The
motion was argued before Judge Goff,
at Parkersburg, West Virginia, on the
3Oth of January, and he reserved his
decision in the case until Friday.

MEETING A NuLLITY.

The opinion of Judge Goff deals sue
cessively with all the contentious of
the Union Trust company, and holds
that it and all other subscribers to the
stock of Clinchfeld Corporation are
bound by the provisions of the charter
and by the contracts executed by them
binding themselves not to call any
meetings of stockholders, and that
therefore the meeting of stockholders
attempted to be held on January 90,
1906, at Bristol, was a nullity, and that
the officers named in the charter are
the true officers of the Clinchfield CO r
poration.

den for you to pay for it. On account
of the verg small expense to which
we are put in selling pianos, we can
save you a good sum on the purchase
price, and at the same time make the
monthly payments as small os $40. 90.

LENGTHY OPINION.

Judge Golf read lengthy and elab-
crate opinion dealing fully with all the
points involved and discussing the
questions of law aud fact in the case.
The suit was brought by the Union
Trust Company, suing as stockhold-
er of the Cliuchfeld Corporation, ask
ing the court to set aside contract be-
tween that corporation and Geo. L..
Carter, by which, in consideration of
the sum of $2, 100000 cash, the corpo-
ration sold all of its properties to Mr..
Carter. These properties consisted Of
the stock of Cranes Nest Coal and
Coke Company, which in turn owned
large and valuable coal lands in South
west Virginia, and the stock of the
South and Western Railway Company,
which owns railroad partly complete d
and in operation in North Carolina,
Tennessee and Virginia. There were
also certain terminal properties at
Southport, N. o., involved, as we'll as
certain railway properties in North Car
olina, and ce1tain bonds of the Cranes
Nest Coal and Coke company, and
South and Western Railway company.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1905-04-20
SYNDICATE FORMED.

The opinion gives q history of the
properties and shows that Geo. L. Car
ter on March 9th, 1909, for the purpose
of forming a syndicate which would
promote the enterprise and build the
railway, gave to the Union Trust COM
pany, of Maryland, an option to pur-
chase for SO, 1868, 700 oil of the capital
stock of certain coal and railway COM
panies; a syndicate was formed which
acquired the properties at this price,
and held same until June 1904. The
Union Trust company in the meantime
seeking, without success to make some
disposition of the properties or to raise
money for their development; thai
some of the syndicate subscribers LOST
confidence in the ability of the Unior
Trust company to manage the syndi
cate, and that the Clinchfeld corpora
ton was formed in june, 1904, for thu
purpose of taking over the properties
and relieving the syndicate and selling
the same as quickly as possible. |
seems that the charter of the Clinch
field corporation vested all powers o
its management in its directo ors unit
January 1, 1910, and that the certifii
Gates for the shares of stock called at
tention to this provision Of the charter
and further toat the subscribers to th
stock at the time of their subscription
executed contract in which the
agreed not to call any meeting of tht
stockholders for any purpose.

MEN OF HIGH STANDING.

In making the sale MIR. Carter did
not act for the corporation, but for
himself, and the corporation was rep
resented by elk disinterested directors,
who, the opinion says, were business
men of high standiug and long expert
ence, and the court holds that under
these circumstances there was nothing
improper in the purchase by Garter
upon the ground that he was director
of the corporation. The opinion shows
also that the whole purpose of the
formation Of Clinchfield corporation
was to make speedy sale of its prop
critics, and that no objection can be
raised to this sale upon that ground,
as all the stockholders we'll knew that
purpose. Speaking of the claim that
the price paid by George L. Garter was
inadequate, the Judge says that not
only was it the sole offer which had
ever been received for the properties,
despite the efforts to sell the same
ever since March, 1909. but that it was
more favorable offer than was made
by the Union Trust csmpany itsel
when it asked the directors of the cor
poration to repudiate the sale to Car
ter. The judge says that he has beel
unable to discover in the record any
thing to show that Mr.. Carter failed Il
perform any duty which he owed t
the corporation, and says that the di
rectors who made the sale are not onl
} blameless but deserve commentator
( for the satisfactory disposition whic
: they made of the affairs of the corpora
: tion.
