A RECEIVER APPOINTED.
i Suit IlrouKlit A^stinst the ME’l by a Stork-
holder KmaltM in the Appoint iiieiit of >i
Kereiver for the Mill I'erdlnu itn Invruti-
KHtiou of Its Kiimnrial Affairs.
Like a thunderbolt from a cloudless
sky, cume the intelligence last Thurs
day that the Gaffney Carpet Manu
facturing Company was in trouble.
It was difficult for many to believe
the rumor that was abroad and when
the officers of the company were ap
proached for information none could
be obtained. The Ledger was prom
ised the first facts that should be
given the press, and for that reason
said nothing in its issue of Friday
concerning the matter.
Later it was learned that a suit was
begun against the carpet mill by one
of its stockholders a few days ago.
After the suit had been commenced
the board of directors held a meeting
and the company being somewhat
embarrassed it was decided at this
meeting that no contest would be
made against the appointment of a
receiver. The hearing was had at
Chester, S. C., last Thursday, at
which time and place Mr. H. D.
Wheat, of this city, was appointed
receiver of the plant.
The mill has been closed down for
a few days for the purpose of making
certain repairs and ordering certain
material which is necessary to keep
it going. The Ledger representative
has been informed that the order ap
pointing Mr. Wheat receiver provides
for his continuation of the work. The
exact status of matters have not yet
been arrived at and it may be ten
days or two weeks before an accurate
schedule of the mill’s assets and lia
bilities can be made up. However,
the appointment of Mr. Wheal as re-
cei T er has done, much to restore the
confidence of not only the local but
also the foreign stockholders and
creditors. It is certain that no credi
tor will lose anything, and it is earn
estly hoped and strongly believed
that in a short while the plant will be
reorganised and put on a paying
basis.
The appointment of Mr. Wheat is
an absolute guarantee that the best
interests of all concerned will be ju
diciously taken care of. He is a man
of extensive mill experience, and
while he may have some things to
learn concerning the carpet manufac
turing business, it is quite certain
that he will master it as quickly as
any one else would.
Xo one regrets this temporary em
barrassment more than The Ledger.
Mr. Kierck has been a warm friend to
the paper and we had assiduously
hoped for his success. His failure,
if failure it can be termed, was due
to causes over which he had no con
trol It.is more than probable that
had he been able to give the business
the personal attention in the last few
months that he did at first that no
difficulty would have arisen. Mr.
Bierck has issued a circular letter to
the stockholders and creditors, a copy
of which was sent this paper, but
owing to the fact that we do not deem
it of interest to the public, and the
additional fact that we have not been
requested to do so, we will not pub
lish it
It gives us pleasure to state that
the business of the concern will be
continued and that the mill will con
tinue to operate.
The officers of the company and the
local attorney, Mr. J C. Jefferies,
were non-committal when approached
on the subject. In fact, they shut
themselves up like clams.
