Mr. H. H. Hickman has been the President and 'Treasurer ever since 1807. When he accepted this impor tant position tiie company was over |50,000 in debt, the machinery and fix tures worn toa frassel.and the creditors clamoring for a mortgage on the prop erty. Nothing daunted by this ad verse situation of affairs, like a mas ter spirit he seized the helm and in a short time made such admirable finan cial arrangements in Now York that the debt was provided for, and ample funds secured on most favorable terms to meet all the necessities of the case. In the course of tiie first two years ol his administration the debt had been paid and the machinery got in line running order, and then commenced a career of wonderful prosperity, last- —"ing nntftTtrrre T^onj ago, whlol hardly bo excelled by any other mill North or 8outh.

It includes in its ranks the best citizenship of Graniteville and may emphatically be termed a bless ed institution.

Mr. Tillman Faulkner a native of Madison was formerly a Graniteville Mil is now an incorporat ed town, witii a government of iits own constituted as follows: In- ! tendant, C. T. Johnson; Wardens.

The day of our visit made exactly twenty years si nee he had held his present position. Mr. Faulkner’s 20 year * of continuous service in his sixteen thousands dollars worth of responsible position furnishes unim- atock bought in and cancelled, there- peachable testimony ns to the high by reducing the capital stock from value placed upon his services. He $71Q,000 to its present amount $690,000. This of itself would be a - splendid record for Mr. Hickman’s administra tion, but in addition to this the Vau cluse mill was built at an expense of $381,000 without calling upon the stockholders for a single dollar; the { >roduction of tlie mill lias been dou- *ied, and notwithstanding the fact that great depression has existed in manufacturing circles for tlie last three years, the last fiscal year was Closed with a surplus of $104,000. When Mr. Hickman was elected President tlie stock was worth $02 per share. It is now quoted at $110 ami up to three years ago sold as high as $100. Its par value is $100. The machinery is now in gplcndid order, and last summer the mill was shut dowu for sixty-eight days and tiie machinery changed to the old standards, which }n the past rendered its products famous wherever sold. Everything is moving like clock work, and the best of feeling exists among ihe operatives who Mr. Hick man pronounces, with emphasis to,be “just about the best in the country.” THE MIER.

Many of them ha»e been connected with the mill for a great many years, and there is a fixity about the popula tion that is unusual iu a manufacturing community, Their general conduct is admirable and we heard of no com plaint from any source. THE SCHOOES. The Graniteville Academy is sup ported by an appropriation of $1,000 per annum from tiie Manufacturing Company. It has over 100 scholars and is kept open nine months m the year. Mr. W. M. Marchant is the principal—and has been for many years—and is considered highly com petent in ids duties. Fie is assisted by Miss Ella Nagle, a lady well quali fied for her position. The public school, supported by (lie County fund is taught by Mrs. Benj. Vais. Over the extensive store ol Mr. G. W. Baker, tiie loading i chant of the town, is a line Hall which is often used for amusements and other purposes. The limits of fhe town extend to the South Carolina Railroad of which Mr If. P. Cook is the obliging Agent. This closes our graphic sketch of tiie Graniteville Factory and its surroundings.

The water power, however, is now supplement- fcd by aii engine of 350 horse-powei which prevents tlie possibility of evei having to stop the machinery for lack of power. THE SUPERINTENDENT. Reardon as assistant. Seventy schol ars attend and as an evidence of the punctuality of the scholars we are in formed that during the last quarter fifty-throe had not a single mark against them for tardiness. Tin's is a good record and shows a desire to learn which is highly commendable. Mr. T. H. Rennie, the new Huperin- iendent, is comparatively a young tnan. He was born in New York, but came from Lewiston, Maine. He ha.- been in the employ of tlie com pan \ for four years as Overseer of tiie card ing room and was promoted to hi- S resent highly important position in eptember 1 ast in consequence of the resignation of Mr. Howland. He thoroughly understands his busine and possesses great tact as an execu tive officer of a great enterprise. His 8uperintendency extend? to the V.ui- cluse Mill, which is 3*J miles off. He is well liked by the operatives and is courteous and kind hut firm in the discharge of his duties. Tiie mill is now manufacturing a splendid quality of goods and the New York Agent of the Company Mr. George H. Bird iu a recent letter declares that “the goods are now fully up|to tiiier old standards.” We had the opportuni ty of examining several samples of difierent styles and were struck with the smoothness of the finish and sub stantial nature of tlie fabric. Mr. Rennie is evidently the right man iii attention, the right place. PURRIC LIBRA KAN Graniteville has a public library controlled by a private association ( officered as follows: President, Jas. L. Quin by; Treas urer, H. C. Bardin; Secretary. T. H. Rennie; Librarian, Mies J. Thorpe; Trustees, 8. \V. Howland, G. G. Berry, Samuel Giles, U. F. Dean and T. FI. Rennie. The association owns between offhand 600 volumes, and per forms a useful mission iu the com munity. CHURCHES. There are four churches: Methodist Vaucluse Items. From Our Regular Correspondent Vaucluse,8. O., ) J une 21,1880. J The Graniteville Manufacturing Company is building new houses at Vaucluse, they have built one on the lot where the house was destroyed by tire on Jubilee Bill some time ago, and they have built one on (.'hutch Street where tiie cyclone blew one house away, and they expect to build more. They are also improving their property in Graniteviile. On a recent risit to that place Mr. G. G. Berry kindly showed us through a portion of the mill, aiid we found that .fir I. :I. Rennie, our young and popular is on the 10th out ’ with ;ck lias begu one of push with farmers and wore it not for our ruinous system of over cropping; we would be pretty well up or in a fair way to get up with work now,as it is with few exceptions, so far as I have seen or heard,people are suc ceeding very well. We had a light rain this morning which was not at all objectionable, as the earth was packed and very hard. There is no doubt but ciops are materi ally set back ifnot injured by tlichenv? rains, especially cotton. A few days of warm sunshine lias brought water melons to the front, and they are now being “laid by” vigorously, though it should have been done at least ten • lays earlier, as it is disadvantageous fo the crops to move tiie vines after fruiting begins. G miens are looking well now, but cabbages have boon injured by the rains. Fruit is almost alaihirein our section, and I think the little we have is of.inferior qualify. I think the time ii”’ fardistant when our farmers wdi abandon this branch of industry as one ti nt does not pay. Wo were cheered at White Pond Church on Wednesday last with the presence of Rev. P. W.
