The country, say $ j Capt, James,

I Ten years ago i this company was
organized under the - general law for
the manufacture; of corn: mills, at
Parkewood, in Moore county. In
1885 it was) re brganixed i with Mr.
James E. Taylor !aa president. The
business was prosecuted with ahergy
and success, and; the company sold
one of the best corfi mQlt itL the coun
try. The' quarry frpm which ther ob
tained these millstones afforded the
finest grit for grinding corn to be
found anywhere in jthr world, being
superior for this purpose to the eso
pus or Freitoh buhr. In 11885 the
company made a xnortgsge to secure
$30,000 of bonds upon which they
borrowed money to; extend and pros
ecute their business. .Failing ! to ob
tain a railroad to; Parkewood, upon
-which much of their heavy expendi
tures had been' predicated, they were
fpreed to make an, assignment to Mr.
Aj H, MoNeilL lately the worthy clerk
o the 1 Superior Gourt of Moore
county. " , . I I-," :,-.;-' - '
kThese two deeds of trust weie at
tacked as fraud alent by creditors in a
creditor's bill, and; OoL tf. : W. HinaT
dale and Mr. Ernest Haywood were
'appointed receivers of the company's
property by the Federal court. They
sold the property under order of
the court, and it brought some $22,
. Beoently, the. tease having been
compromised, all the bids were trans
ferred to Mr. M. Schall, of Pennsyl
vania, a gentleman of high character,
add who is said to be worth a million
dollars. The deeds of trust nnder the
compromise are declared to be bona
fide and valid in every respect.. Un
der the arrangement which has been
perfected, Mr. M. Schali rys to the
receivers $4,000 -foT; the property,
wbicb, with the proceeds of the stone,
is to be applied to the pay
ment i 'to of the Y I expenses - of
eating for the j property, the
costs of litigation, and allowance to the
ienner trustees and to the receivers,
and to the creditora1 attorney; the
balance of the $4,000 and proceeds of
these f is to-be ; divided pro rata
amongst the unyref erred creditors. ' .
At is expected that Air. Sc&aU will
reorganise the company, revive, the
business and push it with enertrv and
capital, and there it no reason why it
should not be made a grand success.
It is fortunate for I the countv of
Moore, which is so much Interested
in the development 'of this quarry and
the proascutiou of this ianorta&t in
dot try, that the property &aa fallen
