Concerning the Edgefield Manu-
. featuring Company's Affairs.

The Advertisers representative
interviewed A. S. Tompkins. Esq,
one of the receivers of the Edge
field Manufacturing Company,
several days, ago concerning the
status of the company's affAirs,
and learned, IN substance, the
following:
Owing to the high price of raw
material a year ago, and the
tsteady decline in cotton goods,
+ frr1noy Sasay ! = -ar1l1- --11uu ~ deuy- 1uI
tquite a large sum. For some
months a. large portion of its
manufactured product has been
carried in it's warehouse here aud
with commission ,nen in New
York, being unable, on account of
the panic and the general depres-
sion that has prevailed through
out the country, to convert 1T into
cash at profitable prices.
At meeting of the stockholders
and directors early IN August, II
was decided to double the capital
stock and enlarge the mill, hoping
thereby to put it on paying basis,
but owing to the demoralized con-
dltion of cotton mills all over the
country it was impossible to sell
the stock. This plan having failed,
itseems that the only alternative
for the protection of the creditors
was to place the property into the
hands Of the receivers to be dis
posed of by the court.
Mr.. Tompkins was of course
unable to state when the mill will |
resume operation. 1t may be sold
or its affairs may be adjusted
without o formal sale being or
dered. The oil mill has also closed
down and will probably hot be
in operation again this season.
The ginnery will continue to run
for the convenience of the public.
Before closing down, the oil
mill crushed a sufficient quantity
Of seed to supply the local de-
mand for meal and hulls. The re-
ceivers have had a great number
of letters asking for prices on
meal end bulls, but they have de-
clined to sell either in large guam
titles, preferring to bold and sell
as stock feed for the copvenience
of the people who have been regu-
lar patrons of the mill. Mr.. John
r. Tompkins, the faithful and
efficient cashier of the company, F,
has been retained and is at his
post to serve the public as hereto I
fore.
rhe company has about 1000 c
gallons of oil on hand, and $4,000 $
worth of meal, hulls, cloth, &C., !
besides the same amount of cloth :
d New York, all of which will be
into cash as market
conditions warrant. Last week r
of cloth were made to
indiana and California. 8
Mr.. Tompkins expressed the
'pinion that thu mill aud the ,
,roduct on hand will sell for
nough to paw off tho credrtors,
'ut the stockholders wil lcse +
heir stock I
1t is generally regretted in
Jdgefield that 'be company he
an,a financially embarrassed, aud
is hoped that a satisfactory ad-
ustmnnt Of it's affairs may be ar
anged at an early day in order
hat operation may b. resumed. :,

inside the room, and thinking the
interior was afire, Immediately
turned in an alarm by means of i
private phone. Upon returning to
the place he found that some one
had evidently essayed to start a fire
by the use of kerosene, the flash
from which had led him to believe
that there was fire. Hastily re-
tracing his steps he informed the
man in charge of the engine house
of his error, but the department had
already started, and it was, too late
to call them back.
