As we now stand there is not enough in the treas ury to meet our December bills. There fore this urgent call upon our long tried and liberal donors, to rally to our aid this Thanksgiving and Christ mas tide. We confidently appeal to others also whom we have not had the honor hitherto to enroll among our regular helpers. For three years we have not been forced to make a per sonal canvass to secure means to carry on this great work, the voluntary con tributions being sufficient. we are assured now that as soon as the warm hearted and charitable peo ple of Wilmington understand the need they will make It unnecessary lor us to make such a canvass this year.

CORPORATION IS INSOLVENT. Superior Court Jndge Appointed Marsden Bellamy, Jr., Esq', to Wind Up the Business Assets About $3,000; Liabilities $10,000 Upon petition of Warren S. John son, secretary and treasurer, suing in behalf of himself and the other stock holders, Judge Francis D. Winston, at Kinston, Saturday night appointed a receiver for the Johnson Dry Goods Company, of this city. The paper were received in Wilmington y eater day morning and the doors of the atore of the company on North Front street were closed and the business placed in charge of Marsden Bellamy, Jr., Esq, the receiver named by Judge Win ston. The receiver is for the winding up of the affairs of the company and mak ing pro rata payment to all creditors. The liabilities are approximately $10, 000; assets, $3,000. The reasons for the action of the stockholders in petitioning for a re ceiver are more fully set forth in the following complaint, upon the allega tions of which the receiver was ap pointed by Judge Winston of ths Fifth Judicial District, holding Super rior Court at Kinston by exchange with Judge Allen : State of North Carolina. County of New Hanover. Warren S. Johnson, who sues in behalf of himself and the other stockholders of the Johnson Dry Goods Company, vs. .The Johnson Dry Goods Company. The plaintiff complaining of the de fendant alleges: 1 That the defendant is a corpora tion duly chartered, and existing un dtr the laws of Norths Carolina and is engaged in the dry goods business in the city of Wilmington, N. C- 2 That the said corporation has a paid up capital stock of $30,000, divid ed into shares of the par value of $100 eacb, and the said stock is held by the plaintiff, .who owns fifty shares, by Mrs. A. C. Johnson, who owns fifty shares, and W. A. Johnson, who owns one hundred shares. 3 That the defendant corporation is indebted in large sums of money to various creditors exceeding $10,000 and has assets and property not ex ceeding in saleable cash value S3 000 and has no means whatever of liqui dating its outstanding indebtedness except by converting its said assets and property into money and paying the same equally and ratably among its creditors. That for sjme months it has bsen forced to allow a number of its accounts and bills to remain un paid although past due, has been forced to allow a number of its checks to be protested for non-payment because of its inability to pay the same. That no means are at the command of the cor poration to enable it ever to discharge its obl gations and therefore has be come and is hopelessly insolvent. 4 The complainant is anxious to have the said debts paid in as lage proportion as possible con sistent with the economical man agement of the estate of said cor poration and to prevent sundry credi tors having amounts of claims under $200, and who threaten and have threatened to sue and levy upon the said stock of goods of the defendant. and the plaintiff alleges that it is nec essary' that the court should take custody and control of the assets of the defendant that tbe same may be sold and distributed equally and ratably among the creditors alike. whereupon plalnlitr prays jnagneni: (1). That the defendant corporation be dissolved: (2). that a receiver be appointed to take custody and control of all the assets of tbe defendant com pany and under the direction of this honorable court to sell the same and after paying the expanses of adminis tering the same, distribute the pro ceeds ratably among the creditors, and (3), for such other and furtner re lief as the nature of this cause may require and to his honor may seem meet and proper. BELLAMY CC irXSOHAU, Attorneys for Plaintiff. In answer to the foregoing com plaint, Col. W. A. Johnson, president of the company, admits all the allega tions and says in a fifth clause: "In further answering the defendant says it believes that a receiver is necessary to prevent the assets of the estate from being fritted away and being sacrifi ced by threatened action of the small creditors, wherefore the defendant submits to such a decree as the honor able court may deem proper to make in the premises." The decree appointing the receiver directs that he shall take charge of all the affairs of the company, the stock; books, accounts, etc., and hold tbe funds in hand subject to tbe further orders of the court after paying all reasonable expenses. He -is given all powers of a receiver according to Sec. 74, Chapter 2, of the Laws of 190L Mr. Bellamy yesterday "afternoon executed his bond in the sum of $6,000 for the faithful performance of his du ties as receiver, his sureties being Hon Jno. D. Bellamy and Jno. D. Bellamy, Jr., Esq., each of whom justified in tbe sum of $3,000.

ATLANTIC COAST LINE CO. Annusl Meeting of Stockholders Held Yes terday la Richmond Principally Routine Business Transacted. f By Associated Press. Richmond, Va., Nov. 18. The meeting here this evening of the stock holders of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad was entirely routine. The an nual reports were submitted and the old directors and officers re-elected. Many of the officers of the company left Wilmington Sunday night to at tend the meeting, which was the sixty- seventh annual session of the stock holders. The reports submitted were for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1901, and were regarded by the stock holders as highly satisfactory. CoL Elliott, the president, cites in his re port that the consolidation of all the systems with the A. C. L. R. R. Com pany a little more than a year ago bas demonstrated its wisdom. The grots earnings of the company rom operati ons were $7,915,099.34 aud the operating expenses and taxes amounted to $4,976,829.27, leaving a net balance of $2,938,270.07, to which may be added $62,915.56, tbe income derived from other sources. Under authority before given the Board of Directors, an increase was made in the preferred stock of the company of 4,594 shares, making the issue of the preferred outstanding $18,850, jOO. Col. Elliott also reports that acting in concert with other railroads enter ing the city $13,300 has been paid to the Charleston Exposition, and its re sults will necessarily ba of much ben efit to the Southern country. The deaths during the year of Mr. B. F. Newcomer, Mr. C. G. Elliott and Mr. W. A. Riach, of the general offices, are reported; as is also that of Capt James Knight, who 'was employed by roads recently acquired by the com pany for over half a century. A com promise of the tax suits with the State of North Carolina is noted. The report of Mr. H. Walters, first vice president says the closing fiscal year has been one of continued pros perity. The management has follow ed out the policy of largely improving the property, increasing the facilities of transportation and adding largely to the requirement. The capacity of tbe general officers in Wilmington was more than doubled, a new shop erected and the round-house enlarged at Rocky Mount 2,200 feet or trestle work was replaced by solid banks and steel bridges and there was added to the equipment 18 locomotives, 10 coaches, one mail car, one private car and 1,052 freight cars. The' shops at Wilmington turned, out aa average of 60 freight cars per month for the whole year. Sidetrack mileage was increased 16.5 miles. The reports of the Treasurer and General Manager were also highly satisfactory. - TWO VERY SAD DEATHS. Mrs. T. J. thadwlck and Mrs. J. H Strickland Burled Yesterday Morning. Mrs. Allie J.
