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.

in ISti'.), and is capitalized
at $1,750,000. 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

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

die negro doctor ot' Charleston,
continues to bo the president's
