Minority Stockholders
Get Dollar For Dollar
Way Is Cleared For Set
tlement and The Mill
Is Expected To Resume
Operations Hearing Is
% Postponed Until Nov. 6.
LOCAL DELEGATION
The wny was paved Wednesday
for settlement of the cotton mill
case in which minority stockhold
ers were asking, for the money
which they had put into the mill,
both common and preferred stock, i
when a compromise was effected,
the minority stockholders to re
ceive dollar for dollar of money ac
tually paid in. The compromise,!
according to our information, was
not unanimous, but the majority |
ruled.
The matter came up last week
but owing to sickness in the fam
ily of one of the interested par- ;
ties, the hearing was deferred un
til Wednesday when an arrange- j
ment was made with the minority j
stockholders. Quite a number of
interested persons went) to Ral
eigh for the hearing which w'as
postponed until Nov. 6.
The following report of the set- j
tlement published ii.i yesterday’s j
News and Observer sets forth the '
main facts of the adjustment:
A seftlement«by which all of j
the minority stockholders, repre
senting approximately $20,000 or
about 10 per cent of the total, were
paid dollar for dollar what they
had invested in the Ivanhoo Man
ufacturing Co., of Smithfteld, was
effected yesterday and the way was
paved for the complete settlement
of the defunct corporation, whose j
affairs have greatly stirred John
ston county.
As a result of the pending set
tlement the hearing which was
scheduled to have been held yester
day before Joseph B. Cheshire. Jr..
United States referee in bank
ruptcy, was continued until No
5, vember G and it is anticipated by
that time a satisfactory adjust
ment of all the claims against the
company, totalling more than
$900,000, will be effected so that |
the mill can resumo operations. 1
Kenneth Gnnnt, trustee for the
; company, yesterday expressed the
opinion that under present con
ditions the mill can be operated
at a profit.
The minority stockholders, who |
were bought out yesterday, include
about 25 or 30 persons, many of
whom are widows and orphans.
They were represented by R. N.
Simms end their removal is con
sidered as having paved the way
for an adjustment with all other
creditors.
The claims against the company
arc of three kinds. There is about:
$175,000, unsecured in any way,
which includes a claim of $156,000
by Ousts, Scott and Company, cot
ton dealers of Charlotte. At tlhe
time of entering the bankruptcy,
the company sought to repudiate
this claim on the ground that it
was oh a gambling contract and
assigned as the principal reason
for the bankruptcy the fact that
the cotton dealers Wad attached
$120,000 in funds collected by the
mill as insurance on one of the
( buildings. It is now thought that
the claim will be adjusted along
with the others.
The second category of claims
included about $350,000 secured by
the endorsement of the directors
of the mill on notes.
These claims have bedn strong
ly attacked by J. W. Bailey, attor
ney for the trustee, and W. H.
Austin, whose claim alone amounts
t'o over $200,000, was scheduled to
have been examined by Mr. Bailey
at the hearing yesterday. These
claims total over $400,000.
The company has $120,000 in
cash and its other mill, which is
said to have a sale value of over
$300,000 and a replacement value
£ of over $400,000.
If the proposed settlement goes
through, the directors, who tare
now the sole stockholders, will
make adjustment's with the other
creditors and will resume the op
eration of the mill.

VALUABLE CIRCUS
HORSE IS KILLED
Animal Kails In Street After
lleing Frightened by
Automobile.
One of the large iron gray draft
horses used by the Walter L.
Main circus that' showed in Smith
field Tuesday, had to be shot and
killed before the circus left' town
Wednesday morning, due to an in
jury which the animal suffered
when it fell while rounding the
corner of Market and Third streets
Tuesday night after the show. The
animal was put out of its misery
by Dr. Rosser Lane, veterinarian.
This horse, which was one of
a six-horse team, was engaged in
hauling one of the large wagons
to the railroad yards preparatory
to loading it on a car and when
near the school house ah automo
bile driven by a negro, cut in on
the team, the operator driving the
car between the lead and second
team.
The lead team, a strapping big
pair, cut loose from hitch, became
frightened and ran at full speed
up Third Street. When it reached
the corner of Market and Third
streets, one of the animals lost its
footing and fell to the roadway,
breaking one of its legs.
Dr. Lane was summoned by one
of the circus officials and after
making an examination of the in
jury to the animal, recommended
that it be shot.
After hitting the homes, the
operator of the automobile con
tinued on bis way, not even stop
ping to learn if he had caused any
damage, according to eye witnesses
; o the accident.

U) attend the Armistice celebration
to be held at Clayton on November
11th, when there will be speaking,
and possibly a band concert and a
free barbecue dinner for all the
ex-service men. The Chairman in
the respective townships are asked
to call their committees together
at once and solicit funds and pigs
in preparation of this occasion.
This first county wide Armistice
Day celebration is hoped to be
pulled off in grand style and the
“boys” given a good time. Upon
the declaring of the Armistice
Day on November 11, 1918, every
mother and father who had a boy
at the front sent up a prayer of
gratitude to Almighty God for the
ending of the struggle, and men
and women declared their everlast.

gone to the front and made the
sacrifice in that great struggle.
It has only been seven years since
that date, and we are testing their
gratitude by putting on a County
I Wide Armistice Day eelebratiejn
in behalf of the boys who made
this sacrifice, and we are hoping
[hat the spirit of gratitude still
remains in the hearth of th? peo

—
EXPECT A BIG FAIR
If the plans of Secretary Nat
ron are executed with the dawn
I ing of the day Monday there will
| be a bustle and stir around the
local fair grounds that will recall
to mind Johnston county fairs in
the past which were better and
better than they have been of late
years.
The shows will come in Sunday;
Lhc concession men will begin their
puffing away in blowing up their
balloons; the camera men will be
gin asking pedestrians for the
price of a picture, marie while they
wait; the hobby horses will be
gin to neigh; the forris wheel will
be ferreted out; the exhibits will
begin to come in; the race horses
will be eating local hay; the fair,
in a word, will be starting.
Fair officials have appointed
Thel Hooks, local young man, as
chief Marshall. Mr. Hooks has al
ready appointed several marshalls
and is now making every effort to
get at least two assistant mar
shalls from each town in Johnston |
county, further carrying out the !
efforts of all the officials to make
this essentially a county-wide oc- |
casion.
Facts are not available as 1k>
the standing of the contestants in
the popularity contest, due to the
fact that only -about, five of the
entrants have turned in their tick
ets. As a result of this delay, there
will be a big bulletin placed in I
the fair grounds on which will be
kept posted all the latest returns
from the contestants. Everything
is moving along nicely in the pa
rade department’. The parade is
scheduled to start from Second
Street at the hospital at eleven
o’clock Tuesday. In the parade
there will be all the fair officials,
the speaker of the day, one or

POU INAUGURATES
HONOR SYSTEM
ExperimanA If Success
ful Will Save Money
In Employment Guards.
'Jwenty selected prisoners from
1 He >JCaledonia farm in Halifax
county, will go to a road con
struction camp near Tarboro Wed
nesday, to inaugurate new honor
system which was approved by the
Prison Board at its last meeting.
The men are to work for the Spar
lin Construction company on bridge
and culvert jobs by the State High
way Commission.
According to Superintendent Geo.
Ross Pou. who announced the new
policy, the men will be under a
single camp supervisor. Captain
J. R. Barham, and there will be no
guards employed So watch over
them dthfr day Of night.
A feature of the r.ew plan is
that the contracting company agres
to pay to Capt. Barham fifty cents
per day for each of the twenty
men, in addition to the compensa
tion paid to the prison. The pris
oners all of whom are white men,
will be permitted to draw a part
of this each week end for spending
money. Part of it will be held back
for the “escape fund,” so that in
the event of the system is violated
the cost of recapture be borne by
the prisoners instead of by the
State.
Among the men who have been
designated by Superintendent Pou
for this first group of twenty are
Claro Heath, Kinston lad, who was
convicted in fhe Martin county mu
tilation trial and sentenced to
serve from eighteen months to two
years in prison. Alberti and John
nie Guirkin, who were in the sains
mob, have also been designated, but
it is not certain they will be se
lected by Captain Barham.
The new system is in line with
the policy of the prison manage
ment to extend honor privileges
as fast as the prisoners prove de
serving. Much of the expense at
tached to the operation of the
prison is m the employf.nent ol
guards. The system now being in
troduced cuts quite a bit and brings
the prison safely within the ad
ministration program of economy.
“If it works out satisfactorily,”
Superintendent Pou laid to the
Raleigh Times Tuesday. “It will
mean that the prison will even
tually be able to supply the con
tracting State highways with most
of the labor they need. I have con
fidence in the plan and shall urge
it as rapidly as the prisoners indi
cate they are ready* for the test.
“The fifty cents per day which
the contractor agrees to pay to
Captain Barham, to be turned over
in part* to the men each Saturday,
will not interfere with the com
pensation which is 'fixed by law.
This extra money and the pro
rata part of it which the prisoner
may have for spending will be de
termined by the degree in which
they respect the trust! we put in
them.”—Raleigh Times.
