Charlotte Obsorver, lltli, inst. .Judge C. II. Simonton, of the United Stales Circuit Court, yesterday made an order at Richmond, Ya., placing the plant of the Olympia Coitou Mills Company, at Columbia, S. C., in the hands of a receiver. Mr. W. A. Clark, president of the Carolina National Rank, of Columbia, and Mr. Wilie, .Jones, cashier of the bank, wote named as receivers, and it was stated in the order that the operation of the plant should be continued without liiterruptioo. W hile the liyures aro not given with autho.ity, it may bo stated Cut the liabilities of tiic mill arc said to tie $1,500,00''', and tiic in.-scts over $2,000,000. j The appointment, of the receivers was made, it is said, at the 111- i stance of Mr. Leonard C. Phinizy, ol' Augusta, Gu , who is one of the diiectois of the plant, and Mr. A. 8 Hull, of Augu.-ta, Ua. Mr. \V. U.

W. R. SmithWhnley is president; W. 11. Rose, secretary and treasurer, and 10. j W. Thomas, general manager. The mill makes print cl< lb.-: h 2,000 broad looms and 100,000! spindles. Tho plant is the largest in tho South and is said to bo the most finely equipped mill in the world. A MEETING FORESTALLED. Tho fact that the Olympia Mill was suffering from financial em- , barrassmont had been known for a long time by manufacture!s in j this city; and it wus also known that a meeting of the stockholders had been called for tho J 4th inst., at which time it was hoped to tako sotno delinito action that would relievo tho situation. It was understood that an effort would be | made to bond tho Olympia, O ran , by and Kichland Mills, which are practically under one management, for $3,000,000; and it was be lieved that tho money thus secured would enable tho Olympia to light herself and satisfy all ci editors. Mill men who discussed tho mattor last night wore unable to fathom Mr. Phinizy's motive in asking for tho appointment of a receiver; but it is thought that bis action will inaugurate a fight over the management of tho three mills. THE RECEIVERS DISMISSED. Richmond, Vs., Nov. 11.? Judgo Simonton today dissolved tho injunction recently issued to restrain the Olympia cotton mills j iroin continuing us plan of roor gnnizntion and dismissed tlio receivers for the mills. As soon as the order was signed ho sent telegrams to those named as receivers toilintr them of his action. At 1^ CO o'clock today a number j of lawyers representing various interests appeared before Judge Sum out on in line United Slates court house lu re and moved to have order appointing receivers rescinded. I no a'torneys were Messrs. John N. Steel < t Baltimore: W. 11. 1( s, K. \V. Sllnud and Win. Klliott, dr., of Co'iuml>ia; and W. C. Miilor ot ( liar lobton. i ho plan of reorganize lion was laid before the judge and , the stuuding and ability of those , who were in charge of the oigan , ization wcro fully shown; in addi- | tim the legal lights of the plaintill', l'lnnizy, were discussed brief | ly but forcibly. , After a tluc.c hours' argument Judge Simonton decided to rescind | his former order lit once, on ac- j count of the irreparable damage it wonld do all parlies. The plaintiff is permitted to go on with his suit, but without 11113' in ^ junction or receivers. This is a distinct and clear victory for the plan _of reorganization. as it fully and fuirly laid m fore the judge, it al-o amounts , to an expression of conlklence in | , those in eh a: g" of tin: 1 "U "mi/.a- i , lion, as it is only in unusua'iy | strong cttse.-j that a judge will d.s- | solve an in j un- li n without notice , to the adverse part3*, and tha? is j what was done today. This order of Judge Sunonton i leaves ti j 1 co/gani/ation com-j miltco free to | eta d with its | , plans at the moeLng to be he'd on tbo 14th inst. in ( oln.nbia. Contests Hideous Crime. .
