Meeting of the Stockholders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad.

The stockholders held their annual meeting Thursday, in the hall at the Nickerson House. Dr. M. Laborde was called to the chair, and C. V. Carrington, Esq., appointed Secretary of the meeting.

A committee to verify proxies and receive reports of the individual stock represented was appointed, who, after a short absence, submitted their report, which showed that there was a larger representation of stock than was ever present before. President Hammett read the report of the Directors, and the report of the Superintendent was read by the Secretary—which reports, together with the accompanying tables, were presented as the annual report of the company; and were, on motion, received and unanimously adopted. The Proxy Committee was appointed a committee to conduct the election for President and Directors for the ensuing year—which resulted in the re-election of H. P. Hammett, Esq., President, (who received the entire number of votes cast,) and the re-election of Messrs. Farmer, Marshall, Reed, Orr, McBee, Perry, Brown, Courtenay, Fair and Childs, of the old board; and Messrs. C. W. Montgomery and F. A. Connor, new members of the board. Some matters of interest in regard to the progress of railroads in the State were discussed. A resolution complimentary to President Hammett and Superintendent Meredith were passed. Also, a resolution of thanks to Dr. Laborde, for the patient and courteous manner he had presided over the deliberations of the meeting; to which the Doctor appropriately responded. Mine host Wright and his efficient assistants were not forgotten—a resolution of thanks for the use of the hall, and their attention to the comfort of the members of the convention, being unanimously adopted.
