D Hutchison, Receiver.
Another Receivership.
Yorkville Enquirer.
Last week was recorded the
failure of the Commercial and
Farmers' Hunk of Rock Hill, and
this week wo have to record the
failure of the big Ganson Dry
Goods Company, of Yorkville.
Under an order signed by Judge
Benct, at Camden, last Saturday,
the affairs of this last named con*
cern were put in chargo of Mr.
B N Moore a* temporary receiver.
The failure of the Ganson Dry
Goods Company is due primarily
to the crop failure of last fall, reduced
cash sales and poor collections.
This is from the best in
'or mat ion obtainable; but the
srisis was precipitated by the
ail 11 ro of the Commercial and
Maimers* Bank. So it wppears
r(>m such facta as the reporter
ias been able to gather through
lie most diligent effort.
Tke complaint upon which the
eeoivoi ship order was signed was
undo by the Charlotte Clothing
Jompany, through Thomas F. !
Vic Dow, Esq, attorney, and im?
liediately upon the tiling of the
mpers in this case, Major .Fames
F dart, representing the leceiver
>f the Commercial and Farmers'
Ihink and othor claimants, served
lotice on Temporary Receiver
Moore to appear before Judge
jage, at Chester, tomorrow ?
Phursday?to show cnuso whv a
;o?receiver should not he appointed.
Afterward, a newnotiee was
served fixing the return date on
Eiiday and indicating a direct apdicatioL
for the appointment of a
receiver the same as if -there had
tieen no previous proceedings. It
will he, therefore, several days
yet, prohahlv, before the exact
status of the receivership is set
Lied.
Tho reporter called upon Mr M
F Jones, prosit ent of the (ianson
Dry Goods Company, on Monday
:<? see whether he had anything to
jive out in connection with the
receivership pioccedings. Mr
lonus repliot' that his business
was in the hands of the court, and
ilthough ho was still doing what
ic could ro got its affairs straightened
out, he did not feel warrant- |
f?d in making any statement. It j
would he better, he thought, to leave
all statements to the re- I
r*eiver. as the renresontnti ve of'
- o -- I
the court.
Mr Moore, the temporary receiver,
did not care to ?ay anything
at this time. In view of
(lie notices that had been served
upon hi:n, looking to the appointment
of a co receiver, etc, he
thought it would he netter for

him to await developments.
There ate, of con rue, numerous
rumors afloat as to liabilities and
assets of the Hanson Dry G? ods j
Company; but none of these)
rumors are to be taken as authen- I
tic. It is a fact, however, that 1
the stock of goods on hand -in the
store aggregates a nominal value
of somewhere between $15,000
nnd $20,000, and there are on the !
books many uncollected accounts,
aggregating quite a large sum.
The papers tiled by Major ?T mes
F Hart, as attorney for the re- '
I
ceiver of the Commercial and !
Farmers' Hank of Iiock Hill and j
others, enumerate two unpaid ,
notes to the bank; one for $4,000 ;
and one for $2,500 with attorneys j
fees; and it is the general under ;
standing that these papers were
the cause of the trouble. With
the bank carrying these papers as
it had agreed to do, the Hanson i
Dry Goods Company had reason
to believe it wnnld tie utile
take cure of nil smaller claims and
successfully weuiher the crisis
that hud been made so severe by
Inst year's crop failures. The
failure .of the bunk, however,
made necessary the immediate
collection of the past due notes.
There was not time in which to
provide for these notes otherwise,
and the closing down of numerous
creditors quickly brought about
the present situation.
The failure of the Gnnson Dry i
Goods Company, the largest concern
of the kind that has ever ex
i-ted in Yorkville, is especially
regretable. There is not only
much sympathy to- Mr Jones,
who was the owner of the
niujoiity of stock, and for his especially
clever corps of clerks,
who will l.e thrown out of employment;
hut there is a general
appreciation of die injury that
will be su>tained by the to*, a in a
business sense This, there need
l?e no attempt to deny, is quite
.severe.
