To the Editor oT The Advertiser: ? Please allow me space in your col. unins to say a word or two to the stockholders of Ware Shoals Manu facturinj- company. Yesterday I re ceived a notice of the annual meeting of the company to V?e Held on Oct. 27th. Along with this notice. I re ceived a blank proxy, and on envelope addressed to II. D. Riegel and stamped. I presume each and every other stock holder received the same. It would appear from this that Riegel is ask ing the stockholders to send him their proxy. It occurs to me that the cheek of some people is monumental, to say the least of such actions. I trust every male stockholder will attend the meet ing in person. In Tact. I might ' that stockholders make great mistakes by absenting themselves from the stockholders' meetings of the corpora tions. It should not only be a pleas ure, but it Is their duty and interest to themselves, and to every other stockholder to attend and post them selves, as best they can.-as to the management of the affairs of the insti tution. Last year there was some effort to obtain proxies from the stockholders, but I presume this year, the conditions being somewhat changed, there will be lid great scramble. However. I cer tainly trust that no loyal stockholder will send his proxy to Riegel, even if he cannot attend, and if any have un thoughtedly done so it occurs to me that it would be to nis best (fit r< St to withdraw the same. I also hop? that each stockholder will consider carefully before giving his proxy to. anyone who would represent the Itie gel -Interest. However, the stock ^be ion,*;s to the individuals, and it is your privilege to act Just as you se? prop er, and I will not fall out with you. I makp the above statements for the reason that I am. und have always been, anxious for t.i..; institution to succeed, and pay the stockholders, at least a fair return upon their money. I know the best Interest of the stock holders are not being looked after by the dominant interest. They are no toriously known to be extravagant, reckless and incompetent. The pres ent of the company res'.des In Perm, sylvanla, and only visits the plant very oeanionally. Possibly once hi six months. The treasurer of the com pany resides in New York, and for the last two years has been seldom at the plant. Perhaps in the last twelve months, he has only been there once or twice at the outside and then only for a few days. Notwithstanding this, he draws a princely salary of $6,000 per year. They have a secretary in name who resides in New York, and he occasionally passes by the plant and looks In. but has practically no more ' t?: i'. with the books of the company ,r.dii any other stockholder In *he com pany. Yet he draws the magnificent salary of $125 per month, stockholders paying expenses besides. You may think that since my feelings are not the most cordial towards these peo ple that I did not make efforts hereto fore to correct there extravagancies. I am only sorry you stockholders do not know of my actions from the very beginning to protect your interests and to encourage economy, fiel to cut off all extravagancies in every respect. This is the main reason why these people fell out with me. In sub stantiation of this position, I beg to state that I wrote them a letter on Jan. 1.".. 1906?a short time after they became Interested in the company, pro testing against some of these extrava gancies, and I kept it up as long as I was a director In the company. They first agreed that their secretary was to draw no pay. As soon as they ask ed to be paid, I at once objected, as Is expressed In very forcible terms In my letter of said date. The reason I desire the stockholders to att< nd In person, Is that they may hear these similar questions discussed, and be posted for themselves. At the last annual meeting 1 offered the follow ing resolution: "Resolved that it i.< the sense of the meeting of th<? stockholders of Ware Shoals Mfg. company that the office of .- cr< . ry of said company, as now used. Is practically a useless one. and that the salary of one hundred and twenty five dollars ($125.00) per month paid to said secretary is a useless and extravagant expenditure, and a waste of money of the said corporation- the said secretary not residing at Ware Shoals and spending practically none of his time {here. Resolved, Second. That the stock holders of Ware Shoals Mfg. Co. do hereby most respectfully demand and urge the directors of said company to discontinue said office, or at least the salary in connection therewith, or re duce the sane to an amount comnien surate with the services rendered." I also offered another resolution, as follows: "Whereas the president of Ware 'Shoals M g. Co. resides In Pennsylva nia and spends, practically, no time at the plant of said Company, t.nd whereas the treasurer of said company if often absent for months at a time, therefore, be it resolved: First, That it Ii the sense of the stockholders that the management of1 isaid oornp&ny, sp?nd practically ail. CLARENCE L. HAMMEXT. Candidate for Auditor. t;f their time at said plant.'' And I also offered the following res olution: "Whereas the Bank of Ware Shoals, the stock of which is owned principal ly by the Riegels who are the majori ty stockholders of Ware Shoals Mfg. Co., uses the building: o* Ware Shoals Mfg. Co. and has not paid any rent therefor, so far ?? the local stock holders are aware, therefore, be it resolved: "That the directors of the said Ware Shoals Mfg. Co. be. and they are. hereby, directed and required to col lect a suitable rental every month from said bank for the use and occupancy of the office aforesaid from t':e time it has occupied said quarters at the true of twenty.five dollars ($25.00) per month." They use your building free of rent, and no doubt use the company's money without interest to help make a divi dend for themselves, and others even : charge exchanges upon the check for the measly dividend they pay the mill stockholders. Their bank pays S per cent dividend, the mill 4 per cent. AU of these resolutions were op posed by the Riegels and one or two local men who secured some of your proxies. The question for you to de cide is whether or not the resolutions were proper and whether or not your stock was voted in the way you would ! have voted if you bad been present. In conclusion I beg to state that I have no interest in the matter other than a similar one with you. and I hope the investment will yield us a larger return. Heretofore almost an nually I made efforts and motions be-, fore the proper parties to have a larg er dividend paid you. If I can give you any information at any time do not hesitate to com mand me, although I know very little about the affairs of tue company at present. Trusting to see each and every one of you at the annual meeting, I air Yours truly, N. B. Dial. Laurens, S. C. Oct. 15,*1910. I HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM. It Is an Internal Disease ami Requires an internal Remedy. The cause of Rheumatism and kin dred diseases is an excess of uric acid in the blood. To cure this terrible disease this acid must he expelled and the system so regulated that no more acid will be formed in excessive quantities. Rheumatism is an internal disease and requires an Internal reme dy. Rubbing with Oils and Liniments will not cure, affords only temporary relief at best, causes you to delay this proper treatment, allows the malady to get a firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease the pain, but they will no more cure Rheumatism than paint will change the fibre of rotten wood. Science has at last discovered a per. feet and complete cure, which is call ed "Rheumaeide." Tested in hundreds of cases, it has effected the most mar velous cures: we believe it will Cure you. Rheumaeide "ge?s at ths Joints from the Inside." sweeps the poisons out of the system, tones up the stom ach, regulates the liver and kidneys and makes you well all over.
