The Quaker City Constructiqn Company and Statesville Gas Company, in the above entitled cause, through their attorneys, D. Howard Evans and Clement & Clement, come into Court and enter the following exceptions and objections, saving and reserving to themselves all of their several exceptions and objections heretofore made, to the report of the Receiver, filed on the day of October, 1915, in the Superior Court of Iredéll County, and to each and every part of paragraph four thereof,on the following reasons, to-wit: FIRST: That the said findings in said paragraph four are not % supported by the evidence-introduced before the Receiver, and that the Receiver had no evidence upon which to base said findings, SECOND: That the Receiver is not autherized by the order signed by His Honor, H. P. Lane, at August Term, Iredell Superior Court, to pass upon the matters alleged in paragraph four of his report. THIRD: The said parties further object to paragraph four for the reason that the Receiver requests the Court to decree that no ge Gistribution be made upon any bond’, unless said bond: cazrtes with’ . it all coupons originally attached thereto. The mortgage from the Statesville Gas Company to the Aldine Trust Company securing $100,000.00 worth of bonds aleo secured the interest of the coupons thereon. The said bonds run for a term of twenty-five years from January lst, 1912, and are not yet due. The coupons on said bonds were due on July lst, 1912, January lst, 1913, July lst, 1913, January lst, 1914 and July let, 1914, all prior to the appointment of a Recedver in this cause, and none of said coupons have been paid. These coupons which became due and payable prior to the appointment of a Receiver have priority over the bonds and are entitled, as these defendants are advised, informed and believe, to be paid in full out of the funds now in the Receiver's hands before any payment is made on the bonds. That for the Court to decree the payment of tne bonds, and the cancellation thereof would work a grave injustice to the holders of the coupons; that many of these coupons nave been filed with the Receiver for the payment of the amount due thereon. That the Quaker City Construction Company, debtor, for value received gave notice to one of the holders of some of the coupons wnich were due prior to the date of the Receiversnip, to deposit the coupons so held by him, the property of the Quaker City Construction Company, with the Receiver, and did so deposit the coupons for the face value of $5,550.00, and those coupons are now in the hands of the Receiver, and this defendant is advised, informed and believe that it would be a confiscation of the property of the owner of said coupons to have the Court deoree that tne dividend should be paid upon the bonds wich are not yet due, without satisfging or paying any dividend to the holders of the coupons, which are now due. That these defendants are advised, informed and believe tnat this Court has no power or authority to require the bonds to be deliver- ed up for cancellation. | d All of which is respectfully submitted, thie 23rd day of October, 1915, Ly ttorneys for r y Construction and Statesville Gas Company, ee eps ee f 7 | ib ‘ ‘ ; a) | oe , . ° — zs cima i . : : woe -F wae .

However, expecting to be called upon to pay the State of North Carolina the said sum of $40.00 said amount was deducted from said sum and distribution has been made upon a basis of $4,455.28. This sum under the decree of the Court was ordered paid pro rata to the holders of the bonds of the Statesville Gas Company, as said bond holders filed their bonds with the Receivers. At the time of the institution of the Receivership proceedings four coupons on each bond were past due. This made the face value of each bond $560.00 and made the entire issue worth $112,000.00. Upon this basis each bond with the past due coupons was entitled to have paid on it as a dividend -2- the sum of $22.18. Each one of the past due coupons was in turn worth .59. This would make a bond with one coupon off entitled to receive the sum of $21.59; a bond with two coupons off the sum of $21.00, a bond with three coupons off the sum of $20.41, and a bond with four coupons off the sum of $19.82.

W.H.Hunter and Grier Hunter , plaintiffs -ve- COMPLAINT. The White Company , (incor- porated) defendant. The plaintiffs above named complaining of the defendant for cause of action ,allege and say: First. That the defendant is a corporation ,duly organized under the lawe of this state ,engaged in the mercantile business ,with its principal office and place of business in the City of Statesville., North Carloina. Second. That the capital stock of said corporation was originally Twelve Thousand Dollars ,divided into one hundred and twenty shares of capital stock of the par value of $100.00 each. That the plaintiff W.H. Hunter is the owner of Ten shares and Grier Hunter is the owner of Five shares , of said capital stock. Third. That,as plaintiffs are advised and believe , the defendant for sometime past has been unable to earn dividends or profits on its business ,but in truth and fact has been running at a loss ,and is now heavily indebted to various parties ,including certain notes due the First National Bank of State- seville N.C. , for abput $3.500.00,upon which the plaintiff W.H.Hunter is eurety . That the entire outetanding indebtedness against said defendant is now approximately Eleven or Bwelve Thousand Dollars, and of this amount there is now maturing and due 4 large part thereof which the defendant is unable to pay off and discharge ,not having on hands ,and being unable to obtain, sufficient*funds for this purpose. ty Fourth. That ,as plaintiffs are advised and believe, the defendant is insolvent ,or in imminent danger of in- solvency ,and that in order to preserve its assets ‘and secure the equal distribution thereof among all of its creditors it is necessary that said corpora- tion be dissolved and that a receiver be appointed at once to take charge of ite said assets and set- tle up its business. Fifth. That at a meeting of stockholders held in the office of defendant on June 328th 1913., at which a majority of the stock of said corporation was rep- resented ,ite affairs were discussed but no means could be devised to provide the funds necessary to meet ite obligaitione and successfully carry on and continue ite business;that failing in this,plaintiffs are advised and believe that it was the opinion and desire of the stockholders representing a majority of the capital stock of the defendant ,that said cor- poration be dissolved and that a receiver be appointed for this purpose ,though no formal action to this effect was taken by said stockholders in said meeting. Sixth. That,with the exception of T.Foy White, the Directore of the defendant corporation are engaged in other bueinees and are now in widely different sec- tione of the country so that they can not be gotten together in any reasonable time to take action to dissolve said corporation, or apply for a receive there- for ;that unless a receiver is appointed creditors whose claime are due will commence suite for collection, and those whose claims are within the juriedioctio n of &@ justices court will enforce collection by execution, thus gaining a preference and advantage over the larger oreditors and those whose claims are s&&&i not due,whioh will force oreditors to resort to the expensive pro- - a LSS, Wy LO ce Jl qxt** wo, a ceeding in bankruptcy in order to recover the prefer- ences thus obtained ;that thie unnecessary litigation will entail heavy loss both to creditors and stock- holders of defendant as plaintiffs are advised and believe . Wherefore plaintiffs demand judgment :; First: That a temporary receiver be appointed to im- mediatly take charge of the assets and business of the defendant corporation . Second: That notice be issued to the stockholders and creditors to appear before this Honorable Court,at such time and place as the court shall determins, to show cause if any they can, why said receiver should not be made permanent and said corporation dissolved. Third. For the appointment of a perminent receiver and for the dissolution of said corporation,requireing all creditors to come in and prove their claime in thie proceeding, and directing and requireing the assets of said corporation to be applied to the pay- ment ;firset to the debte of said defendant equally and pro rata ,and second,that the surplus ,if any, be distributed among the stockholders in propotion to their respective interest therein,and for such other and further relief as plaintiffs may be entitled to receive.
