State Drainage

Clemson College, Sept. 4.-prelimi-
nary figures ON organized drainage en-
terprises in South Carolina have been
announced by the census bureau.
showing a total Of 154,697 acres Of
land in organized drainage districts
involving a total cost Of $61S,0S3.
These figures are as of December 81,
1919.
1t is interesting to note that the
drainage areas include 62,42 acres
Of improved farm land, 1902 acres
Of mbered and cut-OVer land, and
1929 acres Of other unimprOved
land. The swampy or wet LAND sub
iect to overflow included in these
figures amounts to 5,76O acres.
The total land area in South Car
olina is 19.516,80O acres, so that
the land included in the organized
drainage enterprises is only eight
tenths of one per cent of the total
area, though there are hundreds of
thousands of acres, especially in the
coastal plains section of the state,
that could and should be drained for
profitable agriculture.
The average cost per acre for or
ganized drairage, according to the
above figures, is the very small sum
OF $500. Wnen this small cost is
considered in connection with the
wonderful Improvement in produc-
tivity of the land so drained, it is
surprising that much more rapid
progress is not made in organizing
drainage districts in the state. 1t
is form of cooperation among farm
ers and land owners, however, that
is meeting with more and more ia
vor in the Palmetto state.

fuzziness, which il whitish coat of
downy ''pin feathers he will he of n
rusty black all over, excepting head and
neck, which will be fcathcrless and a
full nedged member Of the turkey buzzard
family. Although only little over four
weeks old, he is already husky bird of
several pounds weight, and n spread of
wing greater than the length Of his cage,
which is over three feet long.
The chick was found near Stanton
about two weeks ago, by n friend of s. 5.
Rudely, who is tho proprietor of the cen
tury Flower Shop and uses white mice aud
gold fish in his window displays.
The full grown birds arc numerous in
the lower part of the state, though seldom
noted near this city Their spread of wing
is remarkable sometimes reaching six feet,
and their flight is of the soaring variety,
which has lately been explained by an OBJ
server as being accomplished by alternate
action of the muscles controlling the wings
each remaining stationary while the body
weight is raised on the opposite side from
the wing.

RESIGNS As HEAD

Where He Will Engage in
Business.

william G. Turner, commander Of
Delaware Post No. |, American Legion
last night presented his resignation TO
the post, as he is going to Idaho to engage
in business.
The announcement OF his plans was
made in letter TO Delaware Post No. /,
American Legion of which body he has
been commander since December 1919
Mr.. Turner enlisted in the First Dela-
ware Infantry, National Guard in 1904
and served with that organization on the
Mexican border in 1867. During the
summer of 1917 he was in charge OF the
recruiting campaign for the guard here
and added some $50 rockies" TO its
personnel.
He served with the 10th Machine
Gun Battalion Of the 10Th Division ne
a second lieutenant. Later with the 59th
Pioneer Infantry he was assigned to the
supply company and promoted to first
lieutenant. He served with that organ
ization through its campaign in France.

issued, and on that date money equal to
gl0.7 shares was paid in the chancellor
said. OF this number 1927 shares were
in excess of 10000 shares. There were
represented Mt the meeting by ccrtifi-
Gates of stock and proxies 8, is shares,
of which 24S shares were admittedly not
entitled To be voted because issued
after january %. 1918, on which day
the maximum authorized issue was
reached and exceeded, so that the num-
Der of shares properly represented at the
meeting was 4.S70 shares. This, of
course. was less than majority of 10000
shares, the authorized issue, and to this
the solicitors for the petitioner assented.
For the petitioner it WAS urged that
9SS.2 shares issued prior to January rs,
1918, were surrendered to the association
prior to the election, pursuant TO COM
promise made by authority of the court
in Pennsylvania wherein the receiver WAS
appointed, and that these shares should
be deducted from 1000, the maximum
legal issue, leaving 0,9ll.S shares out
standing, of which 4 sos would be a
quorum, and, therefore, as there were
1870 shares represented quorum was
present, a valid election held and as all
the votes were cast in favor of certain
persons as directors such persons were SO
elected, the chancellor stated. But it is
in evidence that the number of shares
represented at the meeting must be
further reduced by 3d. shares, being
those issued on January 2S, 1918, for
on that day there was an overissue of
stock and of the overissue 322 of the
shares represented at the meeting were
issued on that day, and as 1T is impossible
to ascertain or determine whether the
stock so represented was part OF the
valid or invalid stock issued on that day
the 322 shares must be denied vote.
II was also shown that included in the
shares represented at the meeting were
100 shares claimed by Hyman Zuchor,
in addition to 90 other shares, as to which
there was no dispute, and he testified
that he paid to the association the money
for 100 shares. But no entry of his
ownership of these 100 shares appeared
in the exhibit assumed TO be n stock
ledger, the chancellor said. Inasmuch
as admittedly there was no quorum of
stock present at the meeting unless the
exhibit he treated as the stock ledger of the
association, and the foregoing statements
are based on an assumption that 1t was
to be treated as the stock ledger, the legal
consequences prescribed by law as 10
stock ledgers must he recognized and
applied In the statute, section % Of
which relates to corporate elections, II is
provided: The original or duplicate
stock ledger shall he the only evidence as
to who are stockholders entitled to vote
in person or by proxy at such elections. :
The language is plain and the purpose
clear that there must be some authorIta-
tive source from which the voters may be
ascertained. and the ultimate and final
source is the stock ledger, the chancellor
stated. Full force and effect must bc given
to the highly important provision. Evil
dence of ownership of shares which do not
appcar on the stock ledger cannot properly

be heard ut stockholders election.
Furthermore, no certificate for tho 100
shares was presented. Applying these
principles tho 100 shares Of Fucker could
not be voted at the election and the num-
Der of shares represented at the election
was not 4,54S shares, but 4, 44S shares,
which latter number was less than ma
jority Of coils shares, determined above
as the maximum number of shares there
represented. :. :.
TO avoid misunderstanding It is not
herein determined that the exhibit is on
titled to be treated as stock ledger for the
purpose of the election, or whether IT be
defective either as TO its form, method OF
proof or because Of any other matter, the
chancellor said. The conclusion in sup
port of the finding of the master Of lack
of quorum was reached after giving the
petitioner, who sought to reverse the
finding, the benefit of tho doubt.

COURT SHOWS VALUE
OF STOCK LEDGER
Final Source Of Authority in De
.tcrmining Control Of Corpora
ton Under State Law.

The decision of Chancellor Curtis in
the case Of Samuel Stern VS.. the Com
mcrcial Savings and Loan Association,
which was announced in Every Evening
yesterday. shows the Importance of the
stock ledger in the business of a corpora
ton. In this case the chancellor affirmed
the finding of the master, Charles &.
kcedy, appointed TO hold a stockholders
meeting To hold directors. The General
Corporation law authorizes the chancellor
Ia slImmarily order the holding of n stock
holders meeting for the purpose of elect
ing directors IN case such meeting was not
held al the time prescribed by the bylaws
of the association.
BY his report the master found there
was no quorum of stock present in person
or 10y proxy at the time and place fixed
by HIM for holding the election. To his
report exceptions were taken by Mr..
Stern. who claimed quorum was present.
The master allowed "A vote to be taken
subject To the determination rs to the
act of quorum being present, and all
the votes cast were for certain persons
as directors. by the bylaws of the assG-
cation a quorum at meeting of the
association should consist of a majority
uf the shares uf stock of the association.
The total number Of shares authorized
was 10000 at S. per share, each person
hcIng entitled to one share of stock for
each 50 paid IN to the association under
lis rules. In considering the question
raised Il was assumed, Though It was not
shown, that share Of stock was actually
or Theoretically issued for each So paid
an.
To ascertain who were stockholders
and the number Of shares held by them
was difficult, because the original books
were VI the hands at a receiver appointed

before the master could not he effected.
