Two FACTORIES SUsPENDED.-The un-
pleasant news of the suspension of two of the
large cotton factories at Lowell, CASTOR coun-
ty reached the city yesterday. The Lawrence
Manufacturing Company, and the WoodlaWn
Manufacturing Company, both operated by
Mr.. c. J. Lineberger, made an assignment, on
Friday last, to Mr.. Williamson, OF Philadel-
phia, as trustee, for 100000. A meeting of
the creditors will be called in few days.
These two factories are located close to each
other on the south fork of the Catawha river,
and while running under different name,
each one has been under the same control and
management. One is an old factory and the
other is new. Each of them is fitted out
throughout with thenewest and most improved
machinery, which has been in use for about
three years, only. The two factories together
run 7,500spindles. The assignment is said to be
made in consequence of the persistent pressing
of a claim which was outstanding against the
company, and to meet which they were finally
obliged to make an assignment. The property
is one of the most valuable of the cotton mills
in the State, and such thing as stopping
them is out of the question. 1t will continue
to be run, either under the present, OF under
a new management Charlotte Observer, 23d.
