Failure of Cumberland Mills.
The community was grieved by the
news which came from Cumberland last
night that the Cumberland Mills Manu
facturing Company had been closed by a
process issued by Judge Starbuck in
chambers, and served by the Sheriff yes
terday. We learn, upon inquiry, that a judg
ment for $7,000 was obtained by the At
lantic National Bank of Winston.
Universal sympathy (in which the Ob
server shares most heartily) is felt for
Mr. W. K. Parker, the admirable gentle
man who has been the Company's mana
ger for a number of years, and who is
also a shareholder.
When Mr. Parker assumed control of
the management of the mill, it was un
der extremely heavy bonded indebtedness,
but, in the face of many obstacles, he re
duced the indebtedness many thousands
of dollars, having paid off the one-third
balance due on the original purchase mon
ey of the plant ($3,366 66.) In addition
to this, Mr. Parker kept up, until recently,
interest at 8 per cent, (compounded four
times a year) on all debts.
This tiouble is the natural result of the
hard, times, the falling market and the
shrinkage of value in all manufactured
products, produced by the gold standard.
Hence the Company has been unable to
market its products even at cost, and con
sequently it has been impossible to meet
the demands of the long-time bond-hold
ers, who have until now
these debts for the mill.
