I begin this w eek by qfuotint, from Mr. Keitl t' wonle'rful st aten out of falts as ho catllst themn: "Is it. true tHitt :3 1 or -1 ") left th reomting?" lie atn,wers: 't)h no!

''ho question a:;ked is ahout tho nublher of stockiolers with drawing, but the an)swc!" is about tho iluatitily of stock. Now. I amn con filont that 3 .1 of thte Stockhohlors withdrow, but I havo no mt'ans of knowing the num11itT.l of shares of Hock loft in th. laeetil,g. .iBut I h1ave been informe)od Inth. t ho stock not. withdrawn wals not atll voted ik the samte way. 'T'he record is in Mr. h('itt's soaledl book, a11l a1s no com mittee of stocklolder:; is ever to see or examiuo this book, I supposo it will have to be loft with Mr. Kvitt to tell his own talo ahout it. 1H1t il order to get as near at the trnt aits possiblo concerning this and all other matter!; connected with this c!ontro versv, I will give a few of the namos of Iho )rsons who attolnded the two stoekholders' mneetl igs, ild tho pub lie ennI get their opinions atnd( im pressions from Ihem and throw thoso of Mr. Koltt's and mino to tho wind of tho heavens: It T. T . huiter, W. P. Pugh, J. Wilson Long, J no. U. 1,elleri, JaCOb) B . llt'rS, J. 11u1" Stocknan, J. P. 1[arnm)tn, '1'. M. Mills, A. N. Boland, W. C. Shoaly, Benjamin PI' singer, G. B. A nll, P. 13. Ellesor, J. A. C. Kibler, J. J. E.p. ting, Willie Mayor, J. WI. Summers and many others that could be given if we had tho space. If Mr. Keitt is correct, less thant 1-1 of the stock represented that day was withdrawn from the meeting, but, notwithstanding this insignili cant withdrawal, wo are informed that Mr. Koitt immediately withdrew his insulting resolution that. fixed the prico of the property tat r,2,000.0 and which condonmnod overy Oneo who did not. agree with him, and had another resolution adopted of fering the same property at $1,5O0.0O. A drop of $500.O() or 25 per cent. on property richly worth $2,000.00, and this in loss than ten minutes of time. Verily the smaclil numiber leaving thie mooeting must have been. a wonider' ful eooponer to 'ring for'thI such large fruit ini h a short t im11. These poor, deoludoed, blind followers should hauvo 1boon atteniding these5 stockholders' meetings long ago anid pberhaps Mr. Koitt would niot have sealed his book akgainst themn. Mr. Koitt says something about the saloe of t.he property being made(1 throughk the regular or prloper' chkannell--l1 suposo leho meanIs the (directors. That channel is no( longer' opened. It is completely blockaded by Mr. Keitt throwing his hugo form longthwiso aLcross its mkouithi, and while hiolding huis sealed 1)00k tight ly in his airms, he cries oumt with a lmid voice, "No stockhlolder shalhl seo inlsido this book." So the p)ublic wvihl readily observe thbat the stockhkoldelri cannot, even akpproachl this channlelol, and all this comues about bocanso Mr. Keitt will niot allow such ak thing. Is it niot rue that wVhen tile mny wVas raised1 for this Warehiouse thalt eakchk inde vidlual was i pproacheod and( asked Ic suibscribe to the stock ? Should1( t.h dlirectors now considlor it a b)roachk of trust, a reflect ion on Itheir mnag~e mont and an1 inksult to their honor foi oach stockholder to ho conisulted about the sale of his ownk proporty and if lhe dlesires to sell thalt which he paid his owni mon0ey3 for, is h< comp)ollod, in order to keep peac< wVith Mr. Keitt, to go to Ihim andE gol his permission to do so' Thisi tyranny ran mad.
