application is made for city registration.

State registration certificates prior to

workmen are now rolling from the >
west side to the east side of Booth 1
street and which will dwnnv n '
most opposite the Methodist church, is '
one of the oldest buildings in the city, |
having been built by the late Wm. ;
Culp in 1357. Mr. Culp used the build- j
ing as a residence for a short while and i_
it then passed into the hands of the i
late Dr. S. A. Kell, who also lived in it

it was the home of Mr. R. F. Powell, 1
who moved from Fort Mill to Charlotte
