Largest Cotton iVii!l in South Carolina
Effects Reorganization.
Union, S. C„ Oct. 4.—A special meet
lug of the stockholders of the Union
cotton Mill, Union, S. C., one of the
largest in the state, was held for the
purpose of effecting a reorganization.
Stockliolders were present from Bal
timore, New York, and other eastern
cities. Of the 7,580 shares, 6,614 were
represented in person and by proxy.
The feature of the meeting, which
lasted for two hours, was the sub
mitting by expert acocuntants. who
have been at work on the company’s
books for some time, of a statement
of the mill’s condition.
This report showed facilities of
$2,700,000, and revealed the fact that
j the mill had been losing money for
j several years, only maintaining itself
I by speculation in cotton. Since Jan. 7.
however, it appears that the mill has
lost $800,000 by speculation. The report
also showed that President Duncan
was individually indebted to the mill
for $481,000, and the Buffalo mills,
with which he is connected, is indebt
ed to it in the sura of $500,000.
