The gentleman who gave The Times this information says that while none of the plans for the erection of the mill, which is to be devoted entirely in spinning, have yet been perfected, there is little doubt that the mill will be built, and that the principal promoters i.f the enterprise are Messrs.

Crescent Mill S.IJ. The Crescent Cotton Mill was sold in Rock Hill Monday by thol receiver, Capt. A. K. Smith.

Mr. (iordon took charge by virtue of his t ommission, a:ul Mr. Chilp \ stepped down ami out. That was ail. lint it st'oms that tis something further to be said. The oiKee of supervisor is a very i?sponsiblo one, and toMiil it properly and satisfactorily, lequires a hii^h order of ability. Mr. C'ulp has diseharoi il the duties of the oll'.ee remarkably well. lie has freqmntly been between the upper and nether mill stones of eeiillietimj inhnsts and pr? j idiees, and he has maintained a Ioiil; ami persistent flight for the pnblie in serest. He m*y have failed in some things. He may have deservedly ineuned many animosities; but he tin h ubtedly incurred many that lie did not deserve. lie tried at an limes anil under all circum(itnucos to do his plain duty, anil taken all in all. he did it remarkably well, lb' poshes eil the resjjeet and esteem of his ft How public servants to tin unlimited extent, and all of them were verv s >rry t<? see him step down and out of the position which lie has tilled with such ciedit. The opinion is expressed quit ? freely that if .Mr. Culp should see tit 11> do so he can again return to the public service t\\t? years from now, if not before. In the meantime he has the best wishes of hundreds t f appreciative friends in all parts of the county. 4*)> Fight years ago .Mr. If. A Culp was living in Pleasant Valley, near this place, but becoming dissalis- j tied with the outlook in that community lie moved to Fort Worth, Tex. Now he is visiting relatives at his old home for the lirst time since he left. At lirst .Mr. Culp did not like Texas and ti ied to ai range his business so as to ret win to South Carolina, but failing, he settled down and has since gotten along splendidly. He s.-ys that farm lands are worth from to ?10 an acre in 1 he neighborhood of Fort Worth, and that a young unmarried man who is cnergelie can do well in that section of the l.one Star Slate, but tliat it is the wrong place for a poor man w.th a large family..
