Charleston} |
| Regular Meeting |
| Orphan House |
| Council Chamber, May 10, 1864 |
| ***** |
| The following notice of the Secretary of
the Greenville & Columbia Railroad Company was read: |
| Secretary's Office, G. & C. R. R. Co |
| Columbia, S. C., April 23, 1864 |
| Dear Sir, |
| The Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of
the Greenville & Columbia Railroad Company will be held at their Hall,
in Columbia, on Thursday, the 28th instant, commencing at 10 o'clock a.
m. |
| The committees to verify proxies and
manage the election of President and Directors will be in attendance the
same day. |
| Owing to many causes it is not expected
there will be the usual attendance of the Stockholders, and possibly a
sufficient number of shares not represented to form a quorum; therefore
it would be well if your Council appointed a proxy to represent the
stock held by the city of Charleston. |
| Very respectfully, |
| Your obedient servant, |
| C. V. Carrington, Secretary |
| Hon Charleston Macbeth, Mayor City of Charleston,
Charleston, S. C. |
| The Mayor stated that he had appointed
Aldermen Edgerton, Robinson and Milnor proxies to represent the city at
that meeting. Received as information. |
