FORMAL DEDICATION . iA GEAND BAUQ -A BHILLIjAI The Toasts a I The Hotel Chiquola iB completed, and to-day Btands as a monument to the ener? gy and enterprise of a large number of the most progressive citizens of our growing city. Its completion marks the dawn of a new era in Anderson, and shows what can be done by united effort, energy and capital. It is ^he most important enter? prise that has ever been undertaken in Anderson. i For a long number of years the need of a modern, first-class hotel in Anderson has been keenly felt, and occasionally something would be said about building one, but. the matter would always end without any definite action. :! About May 1st, 1838, Mr. Frank T. Wilhite mentioned the project of a new hotel to a friend, and remarked that he was determined to agitate the project un? til something was done to make it an as- - sured fact. With a view of erecting a building at a cost of about $10,000, with only five stockholders, Capt. Wilhite approached several other friends in refer? ence to it. He found that the project was favored by almost every one to whom it was mentioned, and in a few days more than $18,000 had been^subscribed, to the capital stock. This was done in a very quiet way, and the gentlemen interested in the project were convinced that there would be no trouble to secure a subscrip? tion of forty or fifty thousand dollars in a short time. It was then determined to call a meet? ing of our citizens and take subscriptions to the capital.steck of any amount from fifty dollars up. This meeting was held May 20th, 1888, and was an enthusiastic one, resulting in the organization of the Hotel Company, with the following offi? cers: President, F.T. Wilhite; Secretary and Treasurer, W. F. Cox, Directors, F. T. Wilhite^ W. W. Humphreys, J. L. Tribble, S. Bleckley, W. B. Watson, J. E. Peoples:and J. A. Brock. The shares were placed at $50 each, and a subscrip? tion of $20,000 wfis secured at this meet? ing. A committee of location was appointed, and in a few days the present site was chosen.. Another meeting of the stockholders was called to confirm the tjution of the location committee, and a Building Committee consisting of F. T. Wilhite, J. L. Tribble and J. D. Maxwell was appointed. Application was made for a charter of the Company with a cap? ital stock of $40,000, and preparations for the work began at once. Plans and spe? cifications were advertised for, and several submitted, that of Messrs. Bruce & Mor? gan, of Atlanta, being adopted. The work of teariug down the old building began about September 1st, 1888, and thirty days later the contract for the erection of the new building was let. On December 27th, 1888, the corner-stone of the building was laid by the Grand Lodge of A. F. M. of South Carolina, Grand Master R. F. Divver officiating. The contractor continued the work of the building until about the 1st of last February, when the Building Committee took it in charge, and determined to su? perintend the work themselves, having secured a competent foreman in the person of Mr. G. A. Sharpe, of Atlanta. The Committee wanted nothing but the best of material and first-clsss work, and at first they had considerable trouble in getting the material desired, but this was soon overcome. In the selection of the Building Com? mittee, the Company could not have se? cured three more practical, energetic gentlemen. The chairman of the committee (who is also President of the Company}, CAPT. FRANK T. WILHITE, is the eldest son of Dr. P. A. Wilhite, of this city. He was born and reared in Anderson, and is 32 years of age. At the age of 16 he began clerking in his father's drug store, and in a few years became a partner in the business. Closely applying himself until 1886, be went to Chicago and took a course in pharmacy and a special course in chemistry, coming out with the honors of his class. He has conducted the business of Wilhite & Wilhite since he became a member of the firm, and his success proves him to be a gentleman of superior business tact and judgment, Oapt. Wilhite is a member of the present City Council, and is ever ready and will ling to lend a helping hand to any enter? prise that will benefit Anderson. He is a modest young bachelor, but would make a model husband. aoaa OF THE NEW HOTEL. iUET AND BALL. STT SUCCESS. nd Responses. The next member of the Committee is HON. J. L. TRIBBLE, Who is now Mayor of Anderson. Mr. Tribble was born and reared in Abbeville Connty, and came to Anderson in Janua? ry, 1875. Having just graduated from tbe Richmond Law School, he was admitted to the bar during the February term of Court. Since that time he has been identified with the interests of Anderson, and is one of our most popular citizens, and rankB as one of the best lawyers of the Anderson Bar. He is a practical man in every sense of the word, And may be depended upon to do his duty whenever necessary. I The other member of the Committee is - COL/ J. D. MAXWELL. This gentleman is a native of old Pendle ton, but in his boyhood days came to Anderson to clerk in Hon. B. F. Crayton'a store. He secured his good wife from among our fair daughters, which, of course, made him a permanent citizen of Anderson. Col. Maxwell is full of ener? gy and when interested in'any enterprise, throws his full strength into it. He is the efficient Secretary and Treasurer of the Anderson Building and Loan Asso? ciation. These gentlemen have given their time and personal attention to the building, and were tireless in their efforts to see ' that everything was done in accordance with the specifications, and for the best interest of the stockholders. They have secured a building more handsome and substantial, better furnished and at less cost than would have been under a con? tractor. . The Hotel Chiquola is one of the hand? somest and most modern hotel buildings in-the State. The building has a frontage of 115 feet on the Court House Square and a depth of 100 feet on South Main Street. The exterior is finished in pressed brick, with granite trimmings. On the front corner is a handsome turret, finished above the roof line with an observatory, from which an extended view of tbe city and surrounding country may be had. The first floor is arranged into four handsome store rooms, with hotel office and lobby in the centre of the building, with elevator and lavatory closely.con? nected, together with bar, billiard hall and tonsorial departments, also on the first floor and convenient to the office. The dining-room, 40 by 44 feet, with a fifteen foot ceiling, is on the second floor, and is finished with panelled wainscoting and ceiling, with frescoed walls. This room is elegantly, furnished. On the front are two bay windows. In the room there are two mantels, which run to the ceiling and are of carved antique oak and mirrors. No hotel anywhere can boast a handsomer room, and with the tables re? moved it makes a brilliant ball-room. The culinary department is also on the second floor, convenient to the dining room, and is provided with every needed appliance of tbe latest design. On this floor are the handsome parlors and the reading room. The building is four stories high above the basement, and has elevator facilities, with landings on every floor. In addition, there are wide and easy stairways leading from tbe ground floor to tbe top story. There are forty-five guest chambers, all well-ventilated, and lighted with an out? er window, offering inducements in that respect, for the traveling public not often found in large hotels. These rooms are handsomely carpeted and elegantly fur? nished. Bath rooms arc conveniently ar? ranged, and filled with the latest improved appliances for hot and cold water. The hotel ia lighted by gas, but is arraDgod fo use the incandescent electric lights. Tf e entire building is provided with electrc bells, connected with annunciators. The main entrance is protected by a two story portico, from which, on the second floor, a veranda extends around the front and east side of the hotel The hotel contains all modern improvements, and is furnished in a stylo to suit the most fastidious. The stairs, door-facings, wainscoting and all the woodwork is of curled Carolina and Georgia pine, one or the moat beautiful and fashionable of building woods. The china and silver ware used in the dining-room is handsome in quality and design, being especially ordered and manufactured for the Chiquola. The above is only a brief description of the magnificent building. We could write several columns on its many advan? tages, conveniences, etc., but we will have to hasten on, and only add that there are larger and more costly buildings in the country, but nowhere will be found a more attractive, better furnished, more comfortable, more tasteful, more elegant or better kept house than the Hotel Chi? quola. Of course, such a hotel requires an ex? perienced landlord to manage it. President Wilhite and his Board of Directors realized this, and in selecting a manager they exercised the same discre? tion and good judgment that had guided them in the erection of the building, for they had determined that the management should be the very best. After much work they finally secured MR. B. W. SPERRY. Thiu gentleman is a native of Wiscon sin, but the greater part of his life has been spent in Michigan, where he bad charge of several popular hotels at various places. Two years ago he came South to take charge of a big hotel on Lookout Mountain. This he managed through the Bummer season, and in the fall of 1888 went to Tuscumbi3, Ala., whore he se? cured a partnership in the Parsball House, the leading hotel of that city. Under bis management the Parsball House was known far and wide, and the traveling men often spoke of it when visiting other towns. It was through this way that Mr. Sperry's name first came to tbe Chiquola Company. Mr. Sperry is about 40 years of age, and has an amiable wife and pretty little daughter He is familiar with every detail of hotel management, and the Company has done well to secure him. He has a most pleasant, genial disposition, and by his easy, courteous manners makes a friend of every patron of the hotel. Mr. Sperry brought an efficient oorp3 of cooks, wait? ers and stewards with him, every one of whom thoroughly understand his duties. The chief clerk in the office is Mr. W. J. Dawkios, who for years past has been connected with the leading hotels of Co? lumbia and Augusta. He is well known to the traveling men, and is tho roughly conversant with the duties of his position. The night clerk is Mr. E. E. Whitner, recently of Florida. The Chiquola, completed and famished, has cotit about $60,000. THE BALL AND BANQUET. Several weeks ago it was decided to formally dedicate the Hotel Chiquola by 8 grand ball and banquet, and Tuesday night, 31st December, was selected as the date for the occasion. The-following committees were appoin? ted : Finance Committee?R. S. Ligon, B. F. Crayton, T. F. Hill, J. G. Cunningham and J. S. Fowler. Ball and Invitation Committee?A. G. Means, Jr., Julian W. Bruce, Dr. S. M. Orr, F. T. Wilhite, R. S. Ligon and J. D. Maxwell Banquet Committee?B. W. Sperry, J. L. Mauldin and W. F. Cox. Committee of Arrangements?F. T. Wilhite, J. L. Tribble, J. E. Peoples, W. B. Watson, Gen. W. W. Humphreys, J. A. Brock, J. J. Fretwell, Col. J. D. Maxwell and W. G. Watson. These Committees went to work imme? diately, determined to make the ball and banquet a grand occasion. All of our people felt an interest in it, and every? body looked forward to the night of the 31st December with the most pleasant anticipations. More than a thousand handsome invitations were Bi'sued and preparations were made to entertain that number of guests. Tuesday night soon rolled around, and long before sunset it was evident that something unusual was about to happen in Anderson. Strangers could be seen on almost every corner, and our own people were stirring around lively. The after? noon train from Augusta brought in a large party of guests, among whom were some of Augusta's most prominent citi? zens. An hour or two later the C. & G. R. R. train arrived, and another large crowd of both ladies and gentlemen landed in the city. About 8} o'clock groups could be Been approaching tbe Chiquola from every direction, and the building presented an enchanting scene of loveliness and bril? liancy to their view. Every light in the building, from basement to the roof, was ablaze, and the scene within was more grander than the one from without. The large lobbies, halls and parlors were rap? idly filling with handsome women and gallant men, and almost every tongue was uttering word3 of praise about the Chi? quola. It was about 9 o'clock when the sweet strains of music was heard from the Italian String Band, of Charlotte, N. C, and in a short time twenty-five couples were on the floor ready and anxious to "tip the light fantastic." Dr. S. M. Orr in his usual graceful style, acted as floor manager, and the grand march opened with Mr. G. W. Evans and Miss Kate Marshall, of Abbeville, leading. The crowd kept increasing, and ere long there was scarcely standing room, much less dancing room, but the merry beaux and belles continued the dance. The crowd in attendance at this time was estimated at from six to seven hundred. Besides those present from our neigh boring villages, there were representa tives from New York, Eoston, Baltimore, Ashevillo, Greeuville, Chcrlestcn, Co? lumbia, Chicngo, Atlanta, Newberry, Abbeville and Augusta, It was about 10 o'clock when the spa? cious diuiug-rooin was thrown open, and here another beautiful scene was present? ed to the eye. The room was tastefully decorated with flowers, evergreens and tropical plants, and the tables, which were arranged in a double quadrangle, with one side open, were beautifully set. It was soon evident that thore was not room for all at the tables. The younger portion, therefore, remained outside, the music continued and the dancers kept time to it, When everybody was seated around the banquet tables, each guest was provided with a pretty card containing the following menu, and Rev. A. A. Marshall said grace: THE MENU. .. Saddle Rock Oysters, Queen Olives, Chicken Salad, Chowchow, Mayemaise of Shrimps, Celery, Cold Roast Turkey, Cranberry Jelly, Smoked Buffalo Tongue, Decorated Ham. Newport Tartlets, Wine and Fruit Jelly. Oranges, Apples, Malaga Grapes, Vanilla Ice Cream, Edam and American Cheese, French Coffee, When the banquet had gotten fairly under way, Gen. W. W. Humphreys, chairman of the occasion, arose, and, after securing the attention of the diners, an? nounced that tho intellectual programme prepared for the evening would be shaken up. In the absence of Capt. E. A. Smyth, Gen. Humphreys proposed the first toast, and, as master of ceremonies, conducted 'the exercises of the banquet in an easy and graceful manner. The first toast was one most essential to the occasion?"Hotel Chi quo] a?Beau? tiful in its strength, daring in its ambition, and confident in its hopes. In its environ? ments, its proportions, its appointments and promises, it is at once the surprise of its founders, the delight of its friends, the facile princeps of its rivals." Tt was fittingly responded to by Presi? dent W?hlte, as follows: "Eighteen months ago our quiet little city was sadly in need of a good hotel. Many comments unpleasant, although de ssrved, were made of our hotel accommo? dations, and Anderson was avoided and passed by by those who would have liked to visit us. Commercial men and others who were, of necessity, compelled to come would get away as soon as possible, some of them often leaving town for the night and returning next morning. None of us then thought or dreamed that Ander? son would ever have as magnificent,* as complete and comfortable a hotel as Ho? tel Cbiquola, equipped with all modern improvements and officered and manned by experienced hotel people, the opening of which to the public we celebrate to? night. This enterprise was commenced more than one year ago. and we have built it because we positively had to have a good hotel. We are now in the building ?you see what we have?which speaks louder than words, therefore no descrip? tion of what it is will be made. "It is said that when the Japanese build a hotel that they begin at the top, putting on the roof first. This method is often adopted by men commencing the hotel business; they begin with everything best, at the top as it were, and go down? ward, but we have not done that way. We began at the bottom, have a substan? tial rock foundation eight feet deep, and have built throughout one of the most substantial and best houses ever put up in this country. Not a Ponce de LeoOj a Del Monte or a Klmball, so far as size goes, but considering the general finish and arrangements, is fully equal to them in many respects, and among the names of the finest hotels in the South, Hotel Chiquola now stands -prominent. In starting in the hotel business we feel that it pays every time, and under all circum? stances, to aim for a good reputation pays in dollars and cents?and this we are going to strive for. We are aware that nothing injures a hotel so much as a repu? tation of setting a bad table. No matter if good in other respects, bad cooking, poor food and service is remedied in no other way, and this we intend to avoid by our efforts to serve the best the markets afford, which, together with the conven? iences and excellent service through? out, we intend to gain a reputation for superior accommodations, solid comfort, something good to eat, and attention to the wants of patrons as extended as it is deserved, thus making it the great centre of attraction , for miles and miles around us. Hotel Chiquola is destined to be what we want it, or rather what we make it, and if we all work together, will bo made the great developer of our city, for we have here one of the best countries in the world, unsurpassed in fertility of soil, salubrity of climate, healthfulness, and financial condition, and if we do not push it ahead of others not so well favored, it will be our own fault. Tbc house will not be kept on the you-rope-me in plan, but we are dead in earnest to make it the resort of commercial men and tourists, and we long for the time when each of our forty-eight guest rooms will be com? pelled to have two beds and three in a bed at that, and this we hope to do with the aid of other improvements end attrac? tions that we intend to have. "Invalids and health seekers while here will feel, when breathing the exhilarating air wafted from the Blue Ridge Moun? tains, not far distant, that they are drink? ing in a refreshing elixir that would seom to descend from some enchanted region, and that in all the balmy, Sunny South there is no place that can boast of as fine accommodations and as much comfort to its visitors as Anderson. May the house prove to be just what it is expected to be, with a reputation for the excellency of its menu?unsurpassed by any hotel in the South?and that the comparisons made in tbe future between it and the Kim ball will be: "Well, the Kimball is good, but no better than the Chiquola," and may the time soon come when the only criticism that can be pf.3sed upon it is that it is not half large enough." The second toast was "The Press?That mysterious means of speech, that using the privacy of an Editor's room as a ros? trum, yet speaks to the whole world. "The teachers which can at once beguile The tedious hours and lighten every toil." This toast was proposed by Maj. Jos. Ganahl in the engaging manner peculiar to him: "Ladies and gentlemeu of Anderson," said he, "I have been called upon to make a few remarks about the press. Although It is a great institution, this is an old song, and I am incompetent to say anything new, or in the slightest degree interesting upon this great topic. The gentleman who will succeed me is the great repre? sentative of the press, and he will utter burning words which will remain immor? tal in your memory. To me this repast, this Chiquola spread, is of such import as to fill my heart with gratitude, and excite all the enthusiasm of my nature. "I only ask that the press of the coun? try, which is the great reflector of thought and events in every age and clime, will, through its representatives present, do justice to this occasion, and snow to the world that a little town, nestled in tbe hills of Western Carolina, may rival?nay, sur? pass?the marvelous palacos of St. Au? gustine. I, therefore, give you, "Ander? son" and "Cbiquola," and may the press do justice to both." [Applause.] The toast was responded to by non. Pat. Walsh, Editor of the Augusta Chroni? cle: \ "I assure you," he said, as ho arose to address the audience, "that it is a real, genuine pleasure for me to be here to? night with the citizens of Anderson at the opening of the Hotel Chiquola; indeed, I feel it a special privilege to be here. I have no doubt that the representatives of the press who are present will do full jus? tice to Lhe enterprise of your people, who have done so well in building this beauti? ful hotel, which is a credit alike to your intelligence, your culture and your busi? ness energy. I do not hold myself up to be what the distinguished gentleman who proposed the toast said I was?a great representative of the presB?I am merely an humble worker in the calling, and I am proud of the profession. For what? ever I am, and for whatever I expect to be, I' am indebted to the State of South Carolina. [Applause.] "Many years ago I arrived In the cjty of Charleston an humble, helpless boy, and from that day to this I have been grateful to your State, and appreciative of your people, I have studied with pride and with pleasure tho history of your great men, and when I refioot that tup Colony of South Carolina seconded the proposition of Massachusetts that an American Congress be called to protest against the usurpation and the tyranny of the British Government, I also remember that South Carolina was the first in the revolution to establish the indepeudencoJ of tho States and the foundation of ou[r American Union, [applauae] and thcro/arc / no names signed to that doclaratiou or in? dependence that iliurninothehistory of our country moro than the names of Rutledgo, Middloton, Lynch and tlio other South Carolina subscribers to that great docu? ment, and there are no men who did more to contribute to the success of the Ameri? can Revolution than did your Moultrie, your Sumter, your Marion, your Wash? ington. There are no battles in history that do more to evidence American glory and American prowess than that at Cow pens, at New Orleans and in Mexico; and, directing my remarks to affairs of tho present generation, tliero aro no men who fcave done more to establish the individ? ual manhood and tlio greatness of Ameri? can characters than tho men who fought under Loe aud Jackson, and Hampton and Butlor; and while upon this occasion it is not permitted to pay a fitting eulogi um to the men who fought under the ban? ner of the Confederacy, and who did so much to establish Southern prowess and American glory iti defense of that nation that rose so fair and wbito and fell so free from crime, it will always be the glory of Southern men to honor'those who died in defense of their country. [Applause.] *'I am here," continued Mr. Walsh, "to speak for the press, which is truly the mouthpiece of our fellow-citizens, trust? ing that it will always express and illustrate the best and tho noblest senti? ments of our pooplc, I am, as I have said, but an bumble representative ofthat pro? fession, which, like other professions, has contained many men who have done much to illustrate and perpetuate its his? tory. I might recite their names, but it would be a long list. Therefore, I will only name a few men of the press who, in our section of the country, have done much for liberty, for civilization, for pro? gress. I will mention Francis W. Dawson of our own day, whose name is dear, and will ever be memorable in the history of your State, for no man had a purer and nobler heart and did more to preserve the honor and the glory of South Carolina. [Applause.] I will namB Albert Lamar, of Georgia, than whom there was never a braver or brighter man. I will name a man unknown to fame, but one who well illustrated the historv of Southern thought?H. P. Wright] of Augusta. I will name last him, who by reason of his genius alone, had reached the mountain top, spoken to the ear of our republic and captured the hearts of our people Henry W. Grady. [Applause.] "The press has been, and is a great power for good. We people of the South have no better or braver defender than an honest, independent aud fearless press. As your fathers, your Statesmen and workers in the days of'70 secured by their swords their redemption from British tyranny, so will the press of the South work out. in a great measure, the redemp? tion of these Southern States from the yile aud damnable governments which were fastened upon them after the war. [Applause.] I know thut it is customary for some gentlemen to speak slightingly of the press, but as a monument to the Independence and honor of the Southern press, will stand the truth, that whilst the voices of our Statesmen were silent it spoke out in clarion tones to the hearts of our people which were saddened and bowed down to be of good cheer, for tho day of redemption was near at hand for the brave and chivalrous sons of tho South. That day has come, and We are free, thanks be to God, who rules the des? tinies of men as he controls tho fates of nations. "I am hut an humble worker in this cause, but I feel that tbo men wlu ..ave preceded me* in my profession have done something worthy of this State, and worthy of the South and of all inon who love liberty. Thero is no man whose place cannot, in the Providence that guides us, be filled, but to the memory of those who have passed away, I wish to pay a simple tribute. "Oh! for the silent voice that cboered us in our day, Oh! for the vanished hand that pointed out the way." Though dead, they yet speak and teach us this lesson: We must not expect any more to gather the ripe, gold ears until we have been sowers and worked the giound with onr tears. This world is not all that we take it; life's field preserves as we make it, a harvest of thorns or flow? ers." [Applause.] The second toast was" announced as fol? lows: "The Railroads?The great builders of cities, the foster-parent of all industries, the civilizers of mankiiad." In the absence of Mr, J. C. Hemphill, who had been selected to propose the toast, that duty was neatly performed by Mr. E. P. McKissick, who introduced Col. V. E. McBee, President for South Carolina of the R. & D. system, as a rep? resentative of railroads, whose reputation was not confined to the South, or even to the United States, but extended to Can? ada Col. McBee in responding to the toast, spoke as follows: "It is antirely out of my Hue to make a speech at all, and I regret my inability to sustain my profession, as our friend, Mr. Walsh, has sustained his. I second tbe sentiments set forth in the toast, and I regret very much to say that the people of South Carolina and of the South have not, for several years past, boon filled with that friendly spirit toward combination of railroads, which we were in hopes they might feel; although I can say now that the day is not far distant when tbe leaders of tbe commercial, manufacturing and agricultural interests will realize that the stronger the railroad combinations they have, the greater facilities and accommo datious railroads will be able to give them. The R. & D. system, which I rep? resent, is unquestionably a strong combi? nation of roads, and it has suffered greatly at competitive points, even among our friends by being classed as a foreign cor? poration, and as ono owned by people who had no other interests within the State; but I am glad to say to you now that tbe R. <fc D. R. R. is owned and controlled by old Confederate soldiers, who are always ready to do what they can to advance cho interests of our country. Onr Board is composed of more South Carolinians than members from any other State, including Georgians, Tenneseeans aud North Caro? linians, and I am satisfied that whenever the commercial, manufacturing and agri? cultural interests of the country look at the matter in the right spirit, they will find that tbeir facilities and accommoda? tions are great in proportion to the strength of their railroads. I am much obliged for your kind attention to.my re? marks." [Applause.] The next toast was "South Carolina Our common mother; in our infancy she cradled us in liberty, in our young manhood she' has nurtured us in every public virtue, and in our mature years she bids us to go forth to cultivate e'yery art and industry that is calculated to pro? mote and enrioh civilized life. To-day she holds out her arms to welcome to citi? zenship all who aome to help us make her fertile fields smile with ampler harvests or to enlarge the circle of her commercial prosperity." Lieut. Governor W. L. Mauldin re? sponded to this sentiment in a happy manner: "I am glad to be here to-night," he said, after a few pleasant remarks of an intro? ductory nature. "I am glad to Btand upon this floor, surrounded by the evi? dence of industry, energy and wisdom of the peoplo of the city ot Anderson. I am sure there is no other town in South Caro? lina that will sympathize with you on this occasion more earnestly than will the City of-Greonville, where I reside. "We glory in the fact that the people of South Carolina?her young men, and her men of middle and old age?have faith and a firm belief in tho future of this grand old State, a State of which we have been proud of in the days whose history has been transmitted to us as pure and as glorious as ever any Anglo Saxon people have given their children. We have a land that has been free., and whose sons say shull forever be free; but while we enjoy the privileges of a free people, while we govern this land and intend to govern it, we must remember that re? sponsibilities come with privileges, and that the responsibility and the duty rests upon us of inculcating obedience to the laws that wo make for ouraelves. [Ap? plause.] The greater the responsibility that is placed in our hands, and the more strictly we shall be held to account for the manner in which we may perform those duties. As a God-fearing and Christian people, we must see that the laws we make are supported by us, so that no stain shall rest upon this State to mar the glorious history which she has givon us. In the Revolution?r war, from Moultrie's fort to Kings Mountain peak the valor of South Carolinians was tested. In tbe war of 1812 the most glorious vic? tory which was gained on the A merican oontinent was achieved by forces led by a South Carolinian. Later, in tho war with Mexico, the banner of South Carolina was tho first planted in the hallfc of the Mon tezumas. In tbe last heroic struggle, in a glorious and holy cause, South Carolina's courage was tested and found true on eyery field of battle. [Appiause.] It is well tfrop that our people should love and honor the post, and as iaithfuj.ly in tho future performl6c dutifis which may de? volve upon them. "In rogavd to this magnificent hotel, which I may truly say has not a superior iu South Carolina," continued Mr. Maul? din, "i tru?t that the most abundant suc? cess jwill atiOiid the efforts of thoso who hayo crccteu it, I know that it will be a sjrtcccws, for it cannot fail. 1 am glad to Jseo your wives and daughters and sweet? ie hearts .'ioro to-night, and I am glad ln-ex rtond, in the name of South Carolina, n I welcome to our visitors from other States." I After a few more appropriate words Mr. Mauldin closed bis response by wishing tlio people of Anderson joy upon the occa? sion which brought them together, and upon all future occasions of a similar na turo, of which the Hotel Chiquola might be the scene. The next toast was "Anderson," to which the programme dedicated the fol? lowing inscription : "The coming city of upper Carolina, thoroughly alive to the possibilities within her grasp and determined to make tho most of them, careful of her resources and conservative in her aspirations, she points with pride to her commercial houses, hor newly born industries and to the teeming lielils that surround her. Tho reoenUlevelopraent is but the promise of a greater growth destined to make hor tho largest city in tho upper portion of the State." This toast was proposod by M. F. An? sel, of Greenville, who said that it needed but little introduction, for of course everybody felt a great interost in the topic suggested. It was ably responded to by Mayor J. L. Tribblo, as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: Nestled here in the woods, among the hills where the clear mountain streams leap joyously over rocks, or peop from beneath laurel covered banks, as they rush toward the great oceun, it was supposed that Ander? son was asleep. So she was, a few years ago, enjoying that quiet repose, that brought energy and vigor for the strug? gle of coming days. Morning broke on tbe vigor of her young sons and brought energy, activity, hope and confidence for the future. But t?s it is not my purpose to indulge in oratorical license,- while speaking of Anderson, I will content myself with a few facts concerning our young city as she is. No one can tell what a dav mav bring forth, much less a year. On 'Dec. 27,1888, tho corner stone of this building was laid. There are somo here to-night who still remember the difficulties the com? mittee charged with this work ' had to surmount, and the cold jeers and wag of the heads of tho doubting Thomases? from the numerous bosses who were disgruntled, because they wore not first consulted and their advice takm;. i'-u' the committee had arranged their own work and pursued it to the eud, and this is the result of a year's labor, of which we are not ashamed, To-night we cele? brate its completion. To the tired travel? er, here stands a home, for rest and repose, and to the pleasure seeker it stands open, inviting to tbe comforts of its beds and parlors, and joys of its menu. When men said we meant business, the restless became quiet; other enterprises began to take definite shape, and soon the capital stock of the cotton factory was complete, the company organized, the buildings erected and the machinery lias been ordered, and in two months Anderson's dream of her late sleep is to be a living reality when tbe sound of the loom and spindle is heard in tbe land. June 25, 1889, witnessed tbe laying of the corner stone of the new Masonic Temple, which is not only the pride of tho fraternity in Anderson, but also of the State, in testimony 'of which the Grand Lodge at its late session renolved to hold its next session with Hiram Lodge. Since wor-k began on this hotel, in addition to the buildings mentioned, twelve store rooms with handsome fronts have been finished, and all are occupied or rented; three have been remodeled with handsome fronts; fifty-three residences have been erected ; three large livery stables have been built; an Ice Factory built; six large warehouses and two large cotton platforms; three Wood Shops and Black? smith Shops; tbo Farmers' and Mer? chants' Bank, with a capital stock of $50,000 paid in, and a handsome building erected, and considerable work done on the new Baptist Church, which is being remodeled at a cost of $10,000, and how much more remains to be seen, making eighty-three buildings, besides a number of small houses not counted, and last, but not least, I hope, the Anderson Female College. I think this is a fair showing for a coun? try city to make in one year, in view of the fact that most people thought we were asleep. To do all this work bos required, in round numbers, $277,-900. A close cal? culation would, perhaps, show the invest? ment to be more, but I bad rather err on tbe safe aide. 1 But I am not done. The friends of the Female College, started lust September under so many disadvantages, doubts and supposed competition?feel justified in making a further effort, and during the year it is contemplated to put up hand? some buildings. The present attendance of the first session justifies them in believ? ing a Female Colloge of the very highest grade in tbe land can be made a success In Andefson. Another enterprise recently put on focfc and an assured fact is the Anderson Shoe and Tannery Factory. This company has been organized with a capital stock of $50,000, to be paid in on the instalment plan, and enough has already been arrang? ed to be paid in to justify the erection of buildings at an early day. Then there are several new handsome residences that I know of, to be built soon, and will be built within the next six months. Re? cently the city council has made a contract with a company to put in a complete system of Water Works. This work is guaranteed under the contract, with a forfeit, to be in operation July 1 next, and will bo completed. A young man of Anderson is at the head of it and that is as good as to say it is done. In a fow weeks the proprietor of the Anderson Machine works?Dr. R. F. Divver?will enlarge his plant and add to it a complete foun? dry, and Sullivau Bros., will Boon put up a large Wood Manufacturing establish? ment at a cost of $20,000. Now, aroypu wondering where all this money came from to build up these enterprises ? Then I answer. "In Anderson.'' And we have not near exhausted our surplus. There is now on deposit in tbe Banks of Ander? son over ?400,000. I know that this is not big money to the rich, but it sounds big among us poor folks hero in tbe back? woods. When we get rich we will think it sounds small, but you know we s,ro admonished by the greatest of all hooka not to despise the day of small things. This money has all been made here in Anderson County, whose agricultural resources are unsurpassed?skirted as we are on tho northwest by the Air Line road?taking the produce of Fork, Pen dleton, Garvin, Brushy Creek and part of Hopewell Townships, to Westminister, Seneca City, Central and Easley; on -the north and east by our big sister Greenville, and then those magnificent cotton mills of Piedmont and Pelzer, and then by the towns of Williamston, Bel ton and Honoa Path, and then with the little towns springing up along the line of the Savan? nah Valley road, with the railroads squeezing our merchants for the last nickel; and, by the way, ono merchant in this city told me, some two months ago, that be had paid freights during this year in round numbers $10,000; and he is not the largest merchant in the city either, and yet with all these drawbacks Anderson, since the first day of August, 18S9, has bought more cotton and cotton seed than any city or town in the State this side of Charleston. The receipts of cotton on Dec. 24 were 19.5S7. Cotton bought and sold from wagons on the streets and the amounts, received sinoe make in round numbers 20,000 bales, and the aggregate amount of tbe cotton and cotton. seed alone sold here this season is over $1,000. 000-to say nothing of the other country pi o duce sold here every day on the streets?to say bothing of the cotton shipped here oyf the cars. Now, if the railroad companies would give our merchants and business men an equal chance with our sister cities, Anderson has as a bright future before her as any city in the State. Her business men are recognized in commercial circles among the soundest and best in the coun? try, and this is why she has held her own amid so many disadvantages; and to-day Anderson oflors one of the best inland marts in the State for everything that is for sale, and has as fine climate and water as can be fonnd in tlio Piedmont belt. By the census of 1880 we had a population less than 2000?to-day we have not less than 3800, whilo others insist that the population is nearer 45G0. I have thus briefly stated somo facts about Anderson without exaggeration, I hope. Then if we have a feeling of pride in our little oity, only seven years old, it is a just pride, I submit; a pride without i offense and that injures no one. To those who might see fit to cast their lot with us, who would be willing to lend a helping hand in building up and devel? oping this heaven-favored clime, wo bid you a hearty welcome. There is room Jor more. To all onr guests to-day I say, we will be glad to see you ju our midst as often as you oan find it convenient to call, remembering that you are always welcome in Anderson. The final toast upon the programme was "Woman?God's last and best gift to man, the angel of an earthly paradise, soft as the memory of buried love, pure as the prayer which childhood wafts above. "And nature swears the lovely dears Her noblest work she classes, 'o, Hor 'nreutiue hand she tried on man . And then she made the lasses 'o.'' Chairman Hijmphreys remarked that this toast was the best of all, and tbe ap? plause which greeted his assertion showed no disposition on the part of his hearers to dissent from this proposition. The response was delivered by W. C. McGowan, of Abbeville. After a few humorous remarks about woman's dispo? sition to use her tongue and the very suc? cessful manner in' which she had been handling it during the banquont, the eloquent speaker said he believed "wo? man" included four of the dearest words tbat tho human tongue could utter?wife, mother, daughter and sister?"I ivish," said he, "that I could take each in turn and bestow upon it the praise that it deserves. Probably I have omitted one word which I, perhaps, have little right to say; but when I look back upon tbat kind of f?roraise and of love's young dream hrough which I once passed, I still think of the queen of hearts?the sweetheart. I have no word nor gesture, Mr. Chairman, neither look nor sign to express what I ouce felt on that subject, und T can ex prass it best in the words of England's sweetest poet, wlion he said: "Ho'll never meet a joy so sweet, In all his noon of fame, As when first he sung to woman's ear His soul-felt llame, And at every close, she blush'd to hear The one loyed name." "I give you woman, as expressed in the toast, 'God's last and best gift to man,' aud when I look around and see so many beautiful women I feel disposed to ad? dress my remarks solely to them, but when I remember the embarassment that I once felt in addressing one. I think I would bo embarrassed to ad<i:essso many. "0, woman, noble woman, Nature has made you to temper man, We had been brutes without you ; Angels are painted fair to look like you ; All tbat wo believe of heaven is in you? Amazing brightness, purity and truth, Eternal joy and everlasting love. Woman, God bless her." The programme was declared at an end, when Mr. Walah had arisen and,' amidst the applause of his hearers, spoken as follows: "Speaking for the citizens of Augusta, I feel that you are bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, and pledge you here to-night our influ? ence and our support to make this city great and prosperous." The speeches were listened to atten? tively, and the merry banqueters were highly enter:nit:ed. The tables were cleared and reset, and the seats were again filled by those who were not so fortunate ?s to get seated at the first table. After a little rest the music and danc? ing was resumed and continued until 3 o'clock a. m., when everybody retired feeling tbat the occasion had been a ver? itable feast of reason and flow of soul. Everything parsed off most pleasantly, and too much catmot be said in praise of the various Committees who managed the occasion most perfectly. THE GERMAN. Wednesday night the Cbiquola again preaented a brilliant scene, the occasion being a "German," under the auspices of the Anderson Dancing Club. There were about two hundred persons present, a large party of young ladies and gentle? men having come from Greenville and other places, especially to participate in tho "German." The dining-room was used for the dance, and the evening throughout was highly enjoyed. The music was luroisbed by the Charlotte Band. The German was led by Mr. George Evans, of this city, with Miss McGowan, of Abbeville. The dancing commenced about 9} o'clock,, and continued tiQlil after 2 o'clock. In addi? tion to the dancers, there were quite a crowd of lookers on present. During the evening favora were distri? buted by the leader, Mr. Evans, to the fair dancers, and with each was a number enclosed in a small envelope.* It was then announced that the young lady holding the highest number would be presented with a beautiful scarf pin, which bad been given to the Dancing Club by its President, Dr. S. M. Orr. Miss Gamrbell, of St. Louis, was so for? tunate as to secure the highest number, and the pin was presented to her by Mr. Evans in a few appropriate remarks.
