Receivership for Carolina Coal Company Will Protect Rights of Families, June 18, 1925

Kennedy Made Receiver. . . Carolina Coal Company Goes Into Receivership to Protect Rights of Families of Victims

Carolina Banner, Sanford

That operations will be resumed in the mine of the Carolina Coal Company seems assured by the appointment of John H. Kennedy as receiver, with A.A.F. Seawell as attorney.

John R. McQueen, president of the company, says that the receivership was made to protect the families of the miners who were killed in the explosion which cost 53 lives.

Mr. McQueen asserted that some of the bereaved might get priority judgment through some of the well-known blood-sucking attorneys, and thus deprive the others of their proper proportion.

A number of the families of the dead miners are still making their home at Coal Glen in the expectation that the operations will soon begin again.
