The Southern and Vermont tJoilon Mills of llcsAcmrr City, Financially ' KinbarrasNCd and Closo Down He fwai-irri Tlmt lHTlver Will be Ap pointed. . y (Julio a little flurry was crested Ih local cotton mill circles yesterday by the announcement that a receiver had been appointed for the Southern and Vermont mills, of Bessemer City. While' nothing definite could be learn ed as to the true state of affairs, it was reported that the mills had been In straightened circumstances for months pant, Tbe plants were closed down Thursday, and H I said t'n-t application, has heen made by certain creditors to have Mr. Caesar Cone, of Greensboro, appointed receiver. The Southern Cotton Mills were In oorporated In 1S&. The capital was 1275.000. Mr. J.-M.-Odell, of Con cord, is president; Mr. S. J. Durham, or Bessemer city, secretary and treas urer, and Mr. C. A. Davis, superin tendent. "Tne equipment consists of 16,000 spindles and 401 broad looms. The goods manufactured were Ma drss and yarns for market. The. Cone Export c Commission Company, of Greensboro, were the - sales agents. Four hunjjred and fifty' hands were employed. The Vermont ' Cotton Mill was chartered two years ago with a capi tal of $80,000. The officers were Messrs. D. A, Garrison, president: J. H. Wilkin, secretary, and . 3. Dur ham, treasurer. Th machinery con sisted of 6.000 spindles and 96 looms. Joshua A. Bailey A Company, of New- York and Philadelphia, were the sales agents. No facts could be Isarned as lo Way the-. mills were In the tolls. The past year has been a most prosperous one to the mills all over the Kouth. and especially In Piedmont Carolina. It la to be regretted that the South ern and Vermont mills ar In trouble. No ultimate failure Is anticipated, for tho who are most heavily Interest ed in these mills are men of wealth and influence, a reorganization will likely be effected within a few days and then the plants will resume operations. Mr. R J. Durham Is well known in charlotte, and Is universal ly liked. A Gastonla citizen who spent yes terday In Cnarlotte stated that the Southern and Vermont mills were closed, but only temporarily. I V TIIK cm rOLICK COUNT. BEST SERVIt'K IN THE SOUTH.
