C —The Transylvania Cotton Mills, bankrupt, and which we reported were to be sold, were auc tioned on June 26 and bid in by Cleve land and Williams of Greenville, S. C., at $22,500. The mill is practically new, hav ing been organized only about two years ago, with a fully paid in capi tal stock of $125,000. Various cir cumstances, it is stated, led to its failure recently, and it was disposed of at public auction on June 28th, Cleveland & Williams, of this city, being the successful bidders. A member of the firm stated yes terday that it was their expectation to enlarge the mill, reorganize it, and put it in operation in the near future. While details of this en largement have not yet been given out, it is stated that the plant will be changed so as to manufacture fine cloth, instead of yarn,, as heretofore. The mill is considered a good invest ment, owing to its good location, and other circumstances.

The plan of the directors is to apply for an increase in capitalization of $150,000. This will be termed author ized cuaranteed stock and will be add ed to the $150,000 of preferred stock and the $325,000 of common. A plan is outlined whereby it is believed that the stockholders may secure this addi tional stock very reasonably. Another meeting of the stockholders will be held on June 27 and it will be then learned whether or not the majority of the stockholders have consented to the increase. The mill proper was shut down on May 27 and at that time 225 people were employed at the mill. The bag factory is still in operation. When asked when he expected the mill to be reopened, Mr. E. C. Hesse, president of the company, said: “We cannot say just now when the mill will be reopened. It will certainly not be shortly and it will hardly be before the new' cotton crop is market ed. Yet it is not possible to make any definite statement now and there is no one who can give the date when the mill will open. The coming meeting will probably have much influence on the matter, one way or the other.” Fingerville, S. 0.

C., July 15.—The cor poration commission is about round ing up its work of reassessing all railroad propea-ty in the state for tax ation and it Is understood that there are very material increases over tr.e I asessments in force the past four years. The railroads are said to be complaining strenuously but the cor poration commissioners insist that they have been guided solely by the showings of earnings by the various roads and they are not receding from the assessments fixed. The commission heard today complaints from the At lantic Coast Line as to excessive assessments through Assistant General Counsel Geo. B. Elliott and Tax Agent C. J. Joseph. It is expected that the complete an nouncement of the new assessments of railroads will be made public by the corporation commission very soon now. Those in touch with the progress of the general re-assessment of property, corporate and real the state over under the new 1911 revenue and machinery act declare that under the tax rates fixed by the last legis lature there will be a very large in crease in the revenues of the state, the counties and the towns and that there will be the most ample sort of opportunity and occasion fort the next general assembly to do some consider able cutting of the tax rates all along the line. The last legislature raised materially the school tax rates and some are saying that under the re assessments there is going to be more school money in some of the counties than they will know just what to do with. New local tax districts for improve ment of schools are reported to the state department of education, Norths ampton, Avery and Hertford coun ties. Three just carried in Northamp ton make six in the new year. The one in Avery county is the first for this infant county and is for Montaz- uma. State Insurance Commissioner J. R.

Myatt, prom inent merchant, on the charge of keeping hogs in the city.

Jus tice Harris dismised the case. Having coughed up the bullet that has caused his life to hang by a thread since he was shot in the breast JJuIy 5th by Lee Hill, the physicians say now that Jas. Logan will recover. He is in "t. Agnes hospital. He was seized w'ith a severe coughing spell last night that looked like it would be the last of the poor fellow. However, it brought up the bullet from the vicin ity of the lungs where the physician had been unable to reach it. Logan was shot at a negro party at the house of Dolly Hackney. The Hill negro who did the shooting, is still at large. The Spearman Shoe Co., of Greens boro, was chartered today with $250,- 000 capital authorized and $15,000 sub- scirbed by F. G.

Smith. The Tomlinson Chair Co., amends its charter by changing $50,000 of pre ferred stock to common stock. The capital is $250,000. One engine was about demolished and another right badly crippled this morning when a Greensboro-Salem Southern freight train with engine No. 862, plunged into engine No. 462 as it was standing on the main line at Boylan bridge. The brakes of the freight could not stop the advance of the train on the down grade with the wet tracks and this caused It to pass into the yard limits without the required stop. The engine that the train struck was backed rapidly on to the turn table some distance back in the yards and there it was "shoved off into the pit several feet deep as complete a wreck as one could well imagine. The freight engine was not very seriously injured. The train blocked the main lines of both the Seaboard and the Southern for a short while. No one was injured. F. W. Bar- ros was engineer in charge of th« freight engine, 862, and J. P. Cour- now was at the throttle in No. 462. Both live at Greensboro. i ypKol»t«rtt4 There’s a wish in the hc^irt of every newly married young couple, that wish is for a home of their own.
