Other Side of tho Olympia Case.
Columbia Record, Wednesday:
Messrs. Abney & Thomson, attorneys
for Leonard Phinizy and Mrs. Alice
Hull Of Augusta, Ca, in the suit
against the Olympia mill for the ap-
pointment of a receiver, will be served
this afternoon with copy OF the re-
turn Of the defendants in the case, who
are the board Of directors OF the
Olympia, CRANKY and Richland mills.
This Is the last day for return to be
filed, the case coming up before Judge
Simonton in Charleston next Monday.
| 1t Is understood that the return Is full
and complete and supported by nu-
merous affidavits which, 1t Is claim
ed, will present the matter IN an en-
tirely different light from the COM
plant filed by the plaintiffs. 1t Is con-
fidently expected, and was so stated
this morning, that, as result OF the
answer and the showing made, Judge
Simonton will decide that the plaint-
ifs are not entitled to any action. II
Is also understood that nearly all OF
the creditors have agreed to the reor-
ganization plan of the mill, and In view
Of the fact that upon the fate Of Olym-
pia mill depends that Of the CRANKY and
Richland and also that the appointment
OF receiver would mean the shutting
down Of all three, it Is admitted that
this will have considerable weight,
seriously affecting the city. The at
torneys for the mills are John M.
Steele of Baltimore, VIM. c. Miller OF
Charleston, VIM. Elliott, Jr, Of this
city and H. ]. Haynesworth Of Green
vile.
Railroad Earnings In tho State.
Columbia Record: From the report
by Secretary Duncan Of the railroad
commission it will be interesting to
know which roads out of the total of
nineteen made the most money and
the net incomes Of which were the
greatest. Out Of a total income of
s13,117,1S1.10 from all sources 1t is
found that the consolidated Coast Line
and Plant system received the largest,
the figures being s3,7s0,536.25, and
their net income less all expenses In
cluding cost Of maintenance and taxes
was s1,407, ,20s.61. The Southern oper-
ating the Carolina. division came next
with a total Of $2,S16,S05.95, and net
income Of $685., 1861. The total in
come of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air
Line was less than that Of the Sea-
board, but their net income was great
er, due no doubt to the heavy expense
Of building which the latter has had to
go through. The total income from
Charlotte Air line was s1,478,61S.07,
and the net income was $5S0,O69.39,
while the total income Of the Seaboard
