Suggests Plan For
The Roof Creditors.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch.
Since the Meeting of the W. P. Roof
creditors on the End inst, I have been
thinking Of some way in which all
parties could get their dues. If Mr..
Roofs interests. in the cotton mills are
not wholly covered by registered
claims could not the holders of these
claims allow the cotton creditors, or
any others, to buy stock in these
mills? In this way the balance Of his
stock or claims could be liquidated
while his creditors would be getting
pay for their cotton Oh other dues.
These cotton claims are debts Of
honor and should be protected if there
is any way to bring it about. I believe
the people whose cotton he got would
be willing to 60 into this arrangement.
I give this plan for consideration
and as the farmers plan.

Creditors Met Thursday;
Meet Aqain Saturday.

Thos. P, Meetze. G. E. Leaphait and
w. H. Tcwnserd were elected trus-
tees of the estate of w. P. Roof, bank
rupt, at meeting of thu creditors
held in the court house on last Thurs
day. W. B. Taylor, Chalmers T..
Wessinger and r. l.. Keisler, we're
chosen as a committee of three to
represent the creditors and to confer
with the trustees in the matter of dis
posing of the contingent liability OF
Mr.. Roof amounting to nearly $500, 900,
which is made up of endorsements on
mill papers. The trustees hope to be
able to reach an agreement with rep
resentatives of the holders OF this
paper at meeting to be held in Co.
lumbia tomorrow.
The trustees met on Friday and en-
ployed the law firm of Messrs. Tim
norman, Thurmond & Callison to
represent them in all matters pertain
ing to the settlement of the estate.
The trustees have also rented the large
farm of w. P. Roof to Mr.. Sam Z.
Roof, together with all stock, imple-
menJs, etc.
The creditors will meet again on
next Saturday, the 18th at which time
the trustees and the committee will
make a report. The creditors are
anxiously awaiting this meeting; be-
cause it is expected that by this time
some definite statement as to what
per cent. the estate will pay will be
f f,rthcoming.
The meeting on Thursday brought
together the largest crowd of people
that has been seen here in a number
of years. The next meeting on Sat-
urday will likely be as largely at
tended.
