Had little girl's goned clean away.

Yorkville Yromnn.
There was an undercurrent ol
excitement on the streets ol Yorkville
last Saturday night when it
was known that the sheriff had
actually closed the doors ol the
(ianson Dry Goods Co. about 7
o'clock that evening. There had
been lor quite awhile rumors ol
an iinpeudiug crash, but those
who had heard it and were interested
enough to give the matter a
second thought hoped the concern
would be able to tide over its
troubles and continue in business.
But late had decreed otherwise.
The firm owed in round numbers
$18,000, and some of the
creditors were beginning to press
hard (or their claims. One of the
cheif claims was that of the Commercial
and Farmer's Bank, of
Rock Hill, with whom it had
carried an account and ol
whom it had borrowed money.
1'he bank failed about two weeks
ago, and many say this is indi
rectly responsible for the crisis in
the affairs of the mercantile concern.
The bank claims indebtedness
against the Ganson Dry Goods
Company of $9,500, with a credit
of $2,500, reducing the amount to
$0000. The dry goods company,
however claims an error in accounts;
that they owed $9,500
by note, and when $2,500 was
sent down to be placed on deposit,
! it was, without its consent, and
contrary to its wish, credited on
the note; that they owe the bank,
therefore, $0,500, and should
have to their credit on checking
or open account #2,500. At tirst
sight" this would to the ordinary
layman appear to lie a distinction
without a difference; but in tact
there is quite, a dilference,
especially in case o! assignment,
because if the hank should pay its
depositors a hundred cents on the
dollar, or anything like it, and
the dry goods company had to its
credit the amount claimed, i lie
bank would have t > pav over this

amount, dollar ioi dollar, as part
Jot the assets, while lor its claim

Company, through Thos. F.
McDow, Esq , attorney, appeared
before Judge Benet, now holding
court at Camden, on last Saturday
claiming in part what has been
here recited and ashed that a re
ceiver be appointed lo take charge
of the business and wind up its
affairs in the interest of the credi
tors.
Judge Benet granted the prayer
of the petition, and appointed
Mr. B. N. Moore, ol Yorkville,
temporary receiver, and also issued
an order that on February
? he would hear argument and
reasons, if any there be, why the
order should not be made permanent.
As soon as it became known
that the appointment of a receiver,
in the person of Mr. B. N.
Moore, had been made, Ceo. W.
S. Ilart, Esq., of Yorkville, repre
senting a number of large cred
liors, asKed lor an injunction
restraining Mr. Moore until argu (
ment. could be heard asking for
the appointment of a corecoiver,
some of the interests being diverse.
This argument was heard
by Judge Gage, at chambers, at
Chester, yesterday.
Six clerks were thrown out of
employment by the closing of
this store, and the failure will
hurt the town in many ways, as
it was the largest business house
in the place.
Having a nominal capital stock
of $20,000, they claimed assets in
the neighborhood of #40,000, and
owed in round numbers about
$1S,000. The impression has
gained some currency that, a good
deal of the assets of the concern
are scattered in the country in
the shape of accounts, but this is
doubtless erroneous, as the concern
was supposed to do business
almost solely for cash. I
At one time this house did a
magnificent business, running up
to nearly $100,000 a year, with a
clean net profit, it is stated by
those in a position to know, of
$13,000 for the first year. But
sales had fallen off recently, until
the last year's business was only
a little in excess of $50,000. The
live, pushing and aggressive business
methods employed by the
firm when it first opened here
were a marvel to those who had 1
not dreamed of the possibilities
of "push, pluck, perseverence,"'
and the liberal use of printers'
link. It drew trade tor mile? and'
iniles. arid from adjoining towns,;
; gave many genuine bargains, and
made money handover list. Mr.
{Jones, the manager, was pointed
out by those who viewed success
as a criterion in lite.
1 >ut the beautiful picture is
turned to the wall; phenomenal
suecess has been tot lowed by i
crushing disaster.
The stockholders, who are also
i the directors of the company, are j
1 Mr. M. F. Jones and Mrs. Fannie;
Jones, of Yorkville; and T. Yan I
