J s . :>. v t ? . . ' TRIBUTE. TO MR. C. B. SKIPPER. One of the Foremost Cotton Mill Superintendents of the South. The following editorial from a recent number of The Southern Textile Bulletin will be read with appreciation by those who knew Mr. Skipper, particularly those who served in the employ of the Lancaster Cotton Mill while he was its superintendent. The editor was a personal friend of Mr. a- - >jni|>^ci auu inn eniiiuuiH (>l llll' lamented superintendent is based on a knowledge of the man and his work. The Bulletin says: "Elsewhere in this issue will be found an account of the tragic dentil 01 C. B. Skipper on Christmas night. "He was a personal friend of the editor of this journal and during the past year had been a frequent caller at our office, in fact, only a few 'lavs before his death came to show us the contract under which he had purchased a half interest in the Bhevard Cotton Mills and tell us of his plans for enlarging the plant. "Wo have often heard Mr. Skipper rated as the ablest cotton mill superintendent in the South and there car. bo no doubt that he was at lease entitled to a place in the front rank. "While he had his weaknesses, as have all of us, there were many things to admire about him and his example in many respects is well | worth following. | "We have never known a superin tendent who took more interest in training young men or more pride in their success than Mr Sklnnor Snnm of the foremost superintendents in the South today learned the business under him and he always wished them well. He never knew what it was to be jealous of the success of others. i "Those who have followed the career of C. B. Skipper noted that he seldom discharged an overseer. Where other men would lose patience and discharge a man when things went wrong, Mr. Skipper would work with him and show him how to overcome his defects and he developed many good overseers out of apparent failures. "Death came to him suddenly and terribly and we feel that we have lost a good friend." i ???. LOCAL DOTS ?Dr. J. C. Foster has sold his residence on Catawba street to Mrs. H. E. Coffey.
