RECEIVER FOR THE STANDARD.

Judge Simonton has appointed tenn
porary receiver for the Standard Cotton
mill of Rock Hill. The following state
ment of facts is from the Columbia State,
of Thursday:
The complainants in the case are A.
Klipsten & Co., of New York. They
allege in the bill Of complaint that they
furnished the Standard Cotton mill with
supplies to the value of $500, and OH
May %, 1897, the mill gave them seven
promisory notes, to the value of $500
each, consecutively payable after date.
The first five months are now: past due
and that to secure payment the defendant
mill assigned and transferred to the plain
tiffs seven first mortgage bonds at $500
each.
The bill of complaint then goes on to
state that the complainants believe the
Standard Cotton mill to own 81 acres OF
land, valuable factory buildings, plant,
etc. That the coupons of the bonds is
sued to the amount of $4,000 in April,
1896, have not been paid. 1t is also
charged that only $4,000 of the 800, ,OOC
have been paid in, the difference being
covered by dividend stock. The machin-
cry is old, out of date and expensive to
operate, and that the mill lost money last
year in consequence. The president and
secretary and treasurer of the Standard
Cotton mill hold the same offices in the
Globe Cotton mill, which recently became
insolvent and was placed in the hands OF
q receiver.
Judge Simonton, upon reading the pa
pers, issued an order appointing P. c.
Poag temporary receiver and fixing his
bond at $1,000.
ut is further ordered that the defend
ant do show cause to this court on the
first day of December next why the
prayer of the bill of complaint should not
be granted and the temporary receiver
made permanent"
A gentleman who Is in a position to
know, informs The ENQUIRER that the
affairs of the Standard mill are not in
nearly so bad shape as is indicated by the
foregoing statement. The management
of the mill, he says, has all the while
been working to get the property from
under the cloud now hanging over it, and
is encouraged to believe that when the
time comes for arguing the permanent
receivership matter, everything will be
adjusted to the best interest and entire
satisfaction of all parties concerned.

Ready to Pay Interest.
Charlotte Observer, Wednesday: Ma
jor G. w. F. Harper, president of the
Carolina & North Western railroad-bet-
ter known as tho Narrow Gauage-was in
the city last night. He reports that the
receipts of the road are larger than ever
before, its track and road-bed in better

interest on its bonds is due November lst,

The Right to Sell Meat.
Upon complaint Of local meat market
men, who pay the town council license
for protection, the council has notified
family grocers to cease selling bologna
and other stuffed sausage. The meat mar
ket men claim to have exclusive control
of the sausage business, and some OF the
family grocerymen claim that they have
as much right to sell sausage as they have
to sell hams. dried beef, or potted meats,
etc. AS to whether an effort will be made
to secure legal test of the matter has not
yet developed.

fore Magistrate McElhany, of Fort Mill

AS the date for the election in Greater
New York-next Tuesday-draws nearer,
the situation grows more interesting.
Each party and faction of party thinks
it's candidate will be the winner. The
regular Democrats-the Tammany crowd
however, seem to be encouragingly
confident. Senator Murphy says that
Van Wyck will win with "the rush of
Storm" and the others are not in it even
little bit. But the result will be fully
known next week and there will be some
data upon which to commence figuring
the probabilities of the next national
campaign.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

The Voice OF the freacnerS.
Columbia Register: Since Governor
Ellerbe issued his circular to the
preachers asking their views as to
what was best to be done with the il
quor problem, his mail has been quite
heavy with replies. Up to date he
has gotten about 600. From a cursory
examination of one hundred replies d
majority favor prohibition, while the
rest think the dispensary the best solu-
ton. Rev. James Heatherly, Of
Greenville, writes that in that county
it is hard to hold church meetings on
account of the number of stills, and
closes by emphatically saying 81 say
prohibition" He estimates the increase
in drunkenness since the beginning of
the dispensary at 100 per cent. An
other one writes: For the Lords
sake, Governor, don't give US no high
license, nor dispensary. Give us pro-
hibitiou." 1t was foregone conclu-
sion when the circulars were issued
that prohibition would receive the
majority, but no doubt the governor
got some valuable ideas from the views
of the ministers.
Chester Dispensary Shortage Cases.
The Chester dispensary shortage
cases came up before Judge Benet last
Tuesday for trial, says correspond
ent of the Columbia State. In the
case of ex-Dispenser I. McD. Hood,
charged with shortage in his account,
the jury rendered verdict in favor
of the defendant, allowing him $S7.54.
According to the books at headquar-
ters in Columbia, as kept by ex-Chief
Clerk Scruggs, Mr.. Hood was behind
in his accounts something like 5000,
but Mr.. James McLarnon, of this
place, was employed to carefully ex-
anime into the matter at this end, and
it was found that all of Mr.. Hoods
accounts were kept straight and in or
der, and that the apparent crooked
ness was caused by Scruggs's careless
ness in the Columbia Office. In the
case of the present dispenser, J. Mar
tin Mcdaniel, charged with shortage
of $3.50, the court sustained a demur-
rer to the complaint on the ground
that Mr.. McDaniel's bond does not
hold him responsible for stock lost,
but only for money derived from sales,
and the alleged shortage in this case
was in stock on hand. 1t seems that
at the time this bond was given there
was no prescribed form of bond for dis
pensers, and this form was accepted
by the board of control without hav-
ing been submitted to any representa-
tive of the judiciary department for
approval.

Since there is no need to discuss the
free coinage question in the present con-
gress, the Democratic members cannot
employ their time any better than in
sounding the Rebuplican majority on the
repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on the issue
of state banks. Give the people of South
Carolina the right to issue their own cur
rency under safeguards to be provided by
their own legislature, and they will not be
after asking many more favors of con.
press.

was only little while until prices were
up to 5.75. Some of the buyers actually
bid against themselves. A man took a
bale to Mr.. Carson with bid of 5.65.
Mr.. Carson told him that it was already
too high, and on taking it back to the
original bidder to sell it, the original bid
der, thinking that Mr.. Carson had done
better, went to 5.75."
