Surrender Their Charters.

Secretary of State Power has re-
eeiyed certificates Of surrender from
two oil mills doing business in this
State. The companies surrender
their charters to the State Of Missis-
slppi, declare themselves dissolved
and order the stock of the companies
TO be sold. The two concerns are
the Columbus Cotton Oil Company
OF Columbus, Miss, which was char
tered on March %, 1900, and the
planters Cotton Seed and Crushing
Association, domiciled at Greenville,
and which was chartered September
3, 1886. These are the first char
tered concerns that have ever sur
rendered their charters in this State,
and no reason is known for the sur
render. The certificates state that
the stockholders did not consider a
further continuance of the corpora
tons advisable nor desirable and
therefore they have decided to go out
OF business. Neither concern owes
any debts and both have to all ap-
pearances been prospering during
the past. 1t is more than proba-
bic that the properties of the two
corporations have been bought up by
some other companies and that the
mills will continue in operation.
Ihls, however, remains to be seen.
