In this community there are only
four men to whom The Times has
been mailed since its revival who
have refused to take the paper
from the post-office. Of course it ,
is an optional matter with everyone
whether he subscribes for this ,
paper, but it is not a pleasing;
thing to know that there are men
in our midst who after declining'
to pay tor tlic paper borrow a copy
from a neighbor or a merchant.
A meeting of the hoard of trustees
of Winthrop College, Kock ;
Hill, was held in Columbia Thura- |
day morning to consider plana and
bids for the new dormitory which
ia soon to be built for that insti- '
tution. The only objectionable
feature of Winthrop is the fact
that a few Northern instructors
are now employed down there, and
it would be a source of gratification
to a great many people throughout
the State to know that they had
been supplanted by Southern
tutors.

The bridge question has been a
subject of agitation for several
years. A tirst-elass bridge that

The people of the county generally
seem to be willing to spend the
money that will be necossary for
the purpose, but up to this time
the politicians have been afraid to
act. If the bridge is built it will
probably be within a mile of
Neely's Ferry.

Mr. B. 1). Springs, of Charlotte,
came down to Fort Mill a few days
ago and while liore gave the reporter
some information concerning
the purposes of the lleid Brick
Company, in which he is one of
the principal stockholders. The
company has the contract for the
manufacture of several millions of
brick, to be used in building the
now cotton mills at Gastonin, and
the plant will be located in or near
that town until September 1, at
which time the contract in hand
is to be completed. It is then purposed
to move the plant to a point
on Catawba Kiver, and if a satisfactory
purchase price can be
agreed upon for about 25 acres of
bottom land belonging to the estate
of Lawrence Moore, and situate
on tho east side of the river
near tho bridge of the Southern
Railway, the plant will be located
in this township. The machinery
to be used in this manufactory is
to cost $50,000, tho monthly payrolls
will amount to very nearly
$10,000, and the daily output will
reach 100,000 brick. Mr. Springs
is desirous of locating the plant
near Fort Mill, preferably to either
of the other towns which are being
considered, and it is earnestly
hoped that all obstacles in the way
of the purchase of the above mentioned
tract of land will soon be
overcome.
Appreciated Praise.
