which shine mit most prominently and
most I.? .mi il nih oie those behind
which can be traced the sure silver
lining ul I it-termination, Pluck und
ICnergy. Here on this certain basis we
lind that Anderson hus built resolution
upon top of resolution, und willi hoi
characteristic pluck, energy, und de
termination has roached out und grasp
ed t ho rewards, ?ind now liohl> them
triumphantly in om- sternly hand while
the ot her is reaching with confidence
lo grasp more nod largei prizes.
Anderson has ri? vei been justly
eburged with being visiounry, lor she
has never bent her energies lo the se
curing ol' any eui? ipi i>e <>i institution
(hut she did not .-? ? ure. She has pos
sibly been too modes) iniiDt demand
ing some lights heretofore liol enjo.i. ?I
by ber. hut we lum- no tears timi she
will liol nsserl herself ;i- soon ns the
other more pressing duties will allow.
Despite a few such hnudiYups, Ander
son bus blossomed and borne u rich
harvest during tim your just closed.
Capital hus rushed into our holders
und ?uiptied with confidence great
horns of wealth into the spacious hip
of munificieut investment. Since the
old new year wc have seen the hirth ol'
enterprises here in the city which
means millions of dollars to the taxable
property and the wealth producing;
II ililli ty of the City und County. It
means many thousands ?d'good citizens
to lie added to our population, und the
precedence over all other Cities of tlu
st ute ns a domestic commercial center.
lt means that old Anderson of IH'.is,
t hen the best town in the State, tho
largest wagon uinrkot in the State, has
now surpassed herself beyond holler
ing distance ami hus no idea of slow
ing up even on thu home stretch.
Among the most prominent enterpris
es of the year may bementioucdtlieOrr
Cotton Mills, on tho southern suburbs
of the City, ii corporation capitalized
at ?400.000, of which Col. .las. L. Orr,
the mill wizard, is President. This
mill will employ ??00 operatives, run
ning (?00 looms and ^3,000 spindles.
Its annual consumption will bc nboiit
s.ooo bales of cotton. The phenomenal
success of that able financier ns presi
dent of Piedmont Manufacturing Co.
is the bunt indication of the bright fu
ture of the Orr Mills. Then the Cox
Manufacturing Co. and the Riverside
Manufacturing Co. the. former a yarn
mil1- the latter a yarn and knitting
mill of $100,000 and $50,000 capital re
spectively, empties into the City mer
chants1 cotters tho wealth of 300 opera
tives and will spin of the farmors' pro
duct 2500 bales per annum. Invest
ment has looked nt Anderson's natural
advantages in open-eyed wonder and
many smaller industries have been
started during the year which bid to
become powers in the industrial world.
The Sloan Underwear Company has
begun operation and is running to its
full capacity. Though it is yet in its
swaddling clothes; its monthly output
is about seven hundred dozen gar
ments.
Then- is another enterprise which
Bceiits determined to spread over the
whole face (d' the curl h. und (hut is the
irrepressible mid tenacious Anderson
Mattress Factory, whose addition to
their mammoth plant of nu overalls
manufactory places them in the forc
iront of any similar industry ol' the
South. The pluenix-like pluck ol' this
concern is only a fair sample of that
article ns exhibited by the genuine
Andersonian upon his native heath.
The springing up of new industiies de
manding cheap power hus forced the
Anderson Water, hight und Power Co.
t.) provide new machinery to supply
increased power, so that inexhaustible
power eau now he had nt a minimum
c isl.
The coining your, then, holds in store
for us a perfect wealth of industrial
development. After the proposed en
ltTgemcnt of the Anderson Cotton
Mills by $100.000, the busy whirr of
about 00,000 spindles, the provisioning
and clothing of about 7,000 operatives
and the annual consumption of 30,000
hales of cotton in Anderson City alone,
a City whose annual cotton receipts
are 35,000 bales, Anderson will contin
ue to hum and bethe pride of a glorious
wealth of back-country forever. Cal
culating the usual difference between
tuu .ion tum nun ive: t, ililli nukunu, UUU
to mill competition, the number of bales
consumed by Anderson mills saves the
Anderson County farmer nearly a quar
ter of a million dollars, hence we have
the most cordial relations between
town and count ry, each mutually intent
upon building up tho other.
As a cotton market Anderson is the
logical feeder of the great mills of the
County, and the coming year wills? o
it firmly established afr the best and
highest market in the State. The com
bined consumption of the County mills
?,ing estimated at 115,000 bales o? cot

t h row around the enforcement ol' the
law. His honor, coupled with the fear
ol the pi'rscrihcd penulties for neeept -

con uptihle a judge as the C/ur of all
tho Ifussias. This is t hc Southern I vpn
ol manhood, hut in Now York, tho so
called center eivili/al ion and progress,
euch juror in tho famous Mid I i n eux
murder ? ?iso is hi ing shadowed hy a
detective to thc point of robbing him
of any private intercourse with even
his own immediate family. Kveii after
a jury has been selected in tho great
metropolis, which often requires a week,
the jurors can not be trusted to walk
the streets alone for fear ol' violation
ul* their oaths, lt is true that juries
herc in the South are kept together af
ter the dosing of a ease until a decis
ion is reached, butwe have yet to learn
of a Southern jury shadowed from the
beginning to tho end of ii. ease like ir
responsible children. Sny what you
please, the Southern type of honor und
manhood is the most enduring, the
most constant, and tho most pronounc
ed, independent nnd fearless of any
race, in any age orclime. Other peoples
proclaim their.weakness by degrading
admissions, tho stout-hearted South
erner maintains his honor by keeping
it unsullied from all appearances ot'
craven doubts. The North might well
protit by tho South's example in purify
ing tile jury box. The Republic would
taro better if the North would also
purify her ballot. Men who can not be
trusted witli their oaths, should not bo
armed with a ballot.

regret that we havu't grown rich, but
we aro thankful that we have made an
honest living.
The time luis come when wo are com
pelled to make a change in our busi
ness. We have been running a Whole
