NEWBERRY COTTON MILL.
A Statement AS To The Rumors-
The Institution Not Hurt By
Any Losses Which May
Have been Sustained.

Since the death OF the late Mr.
Thomas J. McCrary there have been
reports Of a more or less exaggerated
nature concerning losses OF the New
berry Cotton mill on account OF IN
vestments in cotton made by the late
president. These reports have varied
all the way from three hundred and
fiftv thousand dollars and down.
The publication of such statements
al this time is unfortunate. and seems
to have been precipitated by para
graph in the Carolina Spartan OF
Spartanburs. in which it was ANNOUNCE
ed tia. the losses ran up over the
three hunderd thousand mark.
The directors OF the Newberry Cot
ton mil! now have representatives OF
the American Audit company OF New
York at work on the books and
vouchers OF the Newber-y Cotton mill
with a view OF ascertaining exactly
what the amount OF the losses kas
been. if any.
Until the report Of the Auditing
company is available there is no pos
sibility Of getting the exact ln!orma-
ton because the directors take the
position that any statement would b.
unauthorized and without absolute
correctness at this time.
1t. however. appears that the late
president OF the cotton mill invested
largely for the benefit Of the mill
and that purchases were made on
account OF the mill corporation.
These investments appear to have
been on the wrong side of the mar
ket, and, as a result. considerable
sum has been lost, the exact amount
being indefinite. ranging from one
hundred and fifty thousand to two
hundred thousand dollars.
Should the loss aggregate this
amount, or even more, upon a final
analysis it would in no way impair
the mill. and every cent o. the losses
can be liquidated our of the net SUR
plus now on hand, together with tfe
earnings OF the mill for the past six
months. if such were needed. The
surplus of the mill. together with
the earnings for the past six months,
aggregate something over two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, and
any loss in cotton investm ents will be
fully covered by this surplus.
The credit of the mill, together with
it's standing, is absolutely unimpalred.
The property is capitalized at four
hundred thousand. The construction
account is eight hunderd thousand
dollars. or a little more, and this
means that on a capitalization OF
four hundred thousand dollars the
stockholders have property that ac-
tually cost twice that amount; conse-
quently, there will b. no loss to the
stockholders in the actual value Of
their property. At most consider
able portion of the surplus will be
dissipated by the losses that have been
incurred in the cotton investments.
The members Of the board of direc-
tors take the position that Mr.. Nc
Crary's investments were without all
5hor;ty or authorization. but he no
doubt invested in cotton futures as he
did to subserve the best Interests OF
the corporation of which he was the
head for more than five years.
Whatever may be the result OF the
investigation into the matter pertain
ing to the Newberry mill, no other
financial institution in !he city OF
Newberry is in anywise involved.
