Talk of Another Cotton Mill.
For some time considerable quiet
talk bus been g<jug the it and; in
this place to the etFeet that the
present year will witness the erection
of another cotton mill in or
I near Fort Mill. 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. Harvey and Win. White,
of Graham, N. C., nephews of ('apt.
S. E. White, and Mr. J. F. Williamson,
secretary and treasurer of
the Fort Mill Mfg. Cotr.i) in v. The
mill, it id also stated, will Ik* located
on the east side of the Southern
railway a few hundred yards
north of the depot in this place.

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.

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..
