Charlotte Cotton Mills to Go Out of Business Liquidation Entirely Vot- untary Machinery to Be Sold and Real Estate Dlspoeed of to the Highest Bidders Tha Oldest Cot ton Stills in the Ctty Sir. D. W. Oatcs Stateament. ',; ; .r ;-v :". .1 " After having debated the proposi tion for a long time, the stockhold ers and officers - ot the Char, lotto Cotton -Mills have de cided to i liquidate their - business, this decision having ' been reached within the past few days. The Char lotte Cotton Mill Is located In Ward 1, between Fifth and 61xtb street on Graham, and occupies one entire block of the most valuable real estate In the city. The matter of liquidat ing has been discussed for some . months - and prior to this ' time there - was consid erable talk , of removal. The final decision to sell out In toto was reach ed recently, the stockholders being moved to this by reason of the low price of yarns snd the depressed con dition of the cotton market For the past two months the mill has been closed down. It operates , J0.000 spindles and 360' looma The company, . the officers assert. Is solvent and the decision to liquidate la altogether voluntary. It Is the plsn of those who own the stock to sell the machinery for the best price procurable and then to dispose of the real estate and buildings to the high est bidder. That a handsome figure will be realised on the property goes without saying for the real eatate is advantageously located for manufac turing and other purposes. The main line of the Southern extends along one aide and on the other is the street car line. The officers are Messra J. M. Oates, president; D. W. Oatea, treasurer, and C. L. Oatea, superin tendent The mill la the oldest one of Its kind in the city. Mr. D. W. Oates gave out the fol lowing statement yesterday relative to the contemplated action of the company: ' "The Charlotte Cotton Mills are not bankrupt and this action Is en tirely voluntary on the part of the management. We feel that this prop erty is too valuable now for a mill site, located as It Is In the centre of the city-, 'Vn't'"; "The company owns the entire block from Fifth to Sixth streets and from Graham street to the South ern yards. We will sell out the machinery first and then sell the real estate, not under the hammer at all but as opportunity and offer comes tor It-" ' ' "We paid. $1,500 for this clock 28 years 030, purchasing it from the old John Irwin estate. Tha block must ba worth something like $76,000 to-day. We have not planned out any details of our future action. But the property haa become too valuable for a cotton mill aite and we will put It on the market" ,, ; . Juniors Win Inter-Class Champion ship. - Special to The Observer, v' . ' v Wake Forest May 6.
