THE ANDERSON CHAra Annual Report of Pre Anderson Daily Tho nnnnal report of Mr. F. G. | Brown, president of the Chamber of t'ointnerce, read at the meeting Tues day afternoon, was aa follows: To the Members of the Chamber of Commerce. Gentlemen: In making this my au nual report, as required by the con stitution and by-laws of the organ ization, 1 wish first of all to expresa my appreciation of tho good and faithful work that has been done by t lie other officers aud the members generally, especially by the varions -(anding committees and the special committees that have been appointed irom time to ome. At times tho at tendance of the members upon tho regular or special meetings has not ix en as large as oonld have beeu de sired, but invariably when there was work to do each member bas cheer fully aud willingly done all as&ed-of him ?md often moro besides. It is due to this spirit-this readiness at all times to wort for tho good of tho city-that tho Chamber of Commerce lias been BO successful in its first year. Tho Chamber of Commerce was or ganized a year ago as a result ot a well recognized necessity for some kind of central organization, repre senting all the interests of the city, winoh would work for the promotion of the city's welfare upon any and all lines that might bo deemed ex pedient or necessary. The meinber .-iiip is composed of men of every avocation in the city, and our offerts have been direoted toward building np the oity as a whole rather than any special or individual interest. PLAN OF PROCEDURE. A year ago it was thought well to undertake to attract manufacturers in the North aud East, who might be' dissatisfied and'want to move South. A great deal of work was done along this line, and some of it, I believe, will ultimately bear fruit. But, as all will remember, there was a tight ness in the money marketa of the country last year, amounting almost to a panic, and for a while there was a complete suspension of new under takings and industrial development. It was recognized that effortB in this line would be labor and money wasted until the times and conditions became more favorable. While our efforts along this line have not been as great aB we at first intended, we have at the same time kept a close lookout and we have at all times advertised and exploited the advantages and re sources of this city and seotion in the quarters in which it seemed like ly to do good. HOME WOKK BIRST. The first thin? we set out to accom plish was to place the city of Ander son in tbe proper light before the peo ple of South Carolina. We have ac complished that most thoroughly. There is not a section in this State, no matter how remote, in whicn An derson is not well and favorably known. The people all over the State talk about Anderson'as they do about no other city, LO go abroad and in troduce yourself aa being from Ander son is to at once command respect and attention. Of conrse, in adver tising the oity wo have had compara tively easy work from the fact that Anderson is in herself an advertise ment of all that represents thrift, energy and progress, bat by persistent and well direoted effort we have made others recognize these qualities, we have induced others to advertise us in endeavoring to build up their own communities. This bas been done by distributing our literature, by direct ing correspondence to outside news papers from Anderson, and by talking and entertaining visitors to the city. This could have been accomplished in suoh a full and complete measure only by organization and concentrated and regular effort. THE GALA WEEK. Our Gala Week last summer is still being talked about over the State. We had within our paten during that week from IS,OOO to>30,000 visitors, from near ana remote points, and every one of them returned to their homes, p?C???u vrlth oho O?i*j aud with ?ho week's entertainment wbioh we fur nished them. The carrying out of the vGala Week, ?ie arrangement and ex ecution of the many details, entailed A vast amount of work, muoh of which was arduous and vexatious. But after it waa all over, and wo heard the congratulations of the vis itors and the ooxomendationB of the home people, those who had been .charged with the dirootiou of affairs felt that they bad been repaid many times over. The anooess of the Gala Week last -summer wens one in which the whole oity may feel a just pride. p FALL FESTIVAL This-week of fun at t rao ted J man y people to the city, created business for the merchants and fan for the young. Best of all, the Chamber of Commerce cleared a ?ice sum of money and it coat the city nothing. FREIGHT RATES. The fig?t which this orsauization, in oonneotion with some of the other commercial bodies of the State, has been making for red need local freight rates is familiar to the publie. The fight was made before tho State rail road commission, which nae not yet rendered its decision, but we hope to have it in a very short time. The fight,we are rare, will result in bene fit, and lt has served to show to th? State that Anderson baa become a commercial center of en ch ?leg that we cannot longer bs imposed upon that we will onere our rights in this and other matters, The determined aud spirited fight made upon thia oc casion has served as few other things have done to attract attention to An derson's growing importance os a wholesale and jobbing and distribut ing.point. WE WILL GET JUSTICE. It hos long been known that Ander son woe being discriminated against on freight rates from Western points, as compared with Greenville, Green wood, Abbeville and other junction al points in this part of the State. Some moo tbs [ ago a ' special commit tee, with Mr. R. 3. Ligon as chair-' man, investigated this matter and collected a great deal . of evidence and submitted it to the* freight traffic managers of the, diff?rent railways. Ait*r reviewing the evi dence submitted they agreed that Anderson was not being fairly treated; and at once pledged their word ?nat they would have it remedied. This promise nos been carried out to the ?otter, aa evidenced by a telegram ?BER OF COMMERCE. isident F. G. Brown, Mail, April 7th. received by Mr. R. 8. Lagon, chairman of the committee, a few days since from Mr. T. C. Powell, freight traffic manager of the Southern Railway, ray in? that freight rates had boea ad justed in compliance wicn our wishes and that tho new tarin* would go into effect at or.ee. I am glad to say, therefore, that Anderson now enjoys as low a freight rate as any city in up per Sonth Carolina. This was secured without going in to tito courts or bei'oro a railroad commission, and I think it ?B by far the most important point we have .vet scored. By thit ons thing tho 'Jhamber of Commerce, if it never ac complishes anything eise, will have justified its existence and paid for it self many times over. Its impor tance cannot be overestimated. WHAT IT MEANS. While Anderson has for years en joyed practically the same freight rates from Eastern points as other townB in this section, the rates from Western points have been much high er. Tilts includes flour, grain, meal, meats, livestock, machinery, etc, and in many oases the difference hat" amounted to from 4 to 6 cents per hundred pounds. This gave merchants at other pointe a tremendous advan tage over Anderson merchants. It is estimated by thoBe familiar with the subject that Anderson has been pay ing from 520,000 to 930,000 in esoess freight rates every year-that is, that tlie reduction we have secured will result in a saving of that much every year to our people on freight rates from the West. Wb MAKE SCHEDULES. Last fall the management of the Southern Railway was inveigled into malting a change of the schedules of their passenger trains between Colum bia ?nd 'tho up-country, which ohange resulted in great inconvenience and injury to this section. A vigorons protest at onoe went np from every town along the road, and without exception each town asked Anderson to take the lead in having the old schedule .restored. This organization took np tho tight, and we went at it with ^gloves off. The result is known, the old schedule was restored. It is worthy of mention that in one day ?the seoretary received three telegrams, within -a few honro of eaoh other, one from a Southern Railway official in 'Columbia, one from a Southern j Railway offioial in Atlanta, ana an other from a Southern Railway offi oial in Washington, eaoh announcing that the old schedule would be re stored. This will give you an idea of the vigor and thoroughness with which we worked on this matter. IMMIGRATION. While an organization of the people of the olty, we have endeavored to promote the intered of the whole county SB well. We recognize that for the olty to grow and prosper the agri cultural intereata of the county must be fostered. When the State immi gration Society was formed Ander son county was assessed $200 to pay tao expenses of the society. The Chamber of Commeroe at once pledg ed one-half of the amount, and Mr. W. Q.. 'Hammond, one of our public spirited farmers, gave the other half. This money is now in onr treasury and will be turned over to the State so ciety whenever called for. In addi tion, we bave been doing some inde pendent work with a view of securing a desirable Claas of immigrants to pop ulate the farms of the county. Our acore tar y is in correspondence with several parties in the West with a view of.getting a professional immi grant agent to take up the work, and be bas seemed a list of farm lands in the county which may be seourod for immigrants. We are trying to soon re bat one ?class of immigrants, however, farm ara from the Northern and West viu States, who are dissatisfied with their present conditions and surround ings and who want to como South. These people are American citizens, they are imbued with American ideas, and .they will .be desirable as farmers or in other vocations. We want farm era ?who will bny their own. homes and improve them as well as good ten ants. PUBLICATIONS. The oommittee on statistioB and puDlications has issued three publica tion daring the year-a booklet telling of the Advantages and resources of the county, the official programme of tho Gala Week, and * recent booklet for the ase of Congressman Aiken before the committees ia oongress in his., ef forts to secure the much needed post office bu lld i URB. These publications aggregated more than 10,000 copie a and eaeh edition has been exhausted. They dave resulted in mucli good to the city in many way p. The secretary is arranging to issue a new book soon, more elaborate and comprehensive than any thing y?t undertaken. It will be issued daring the early summer. THE COLLEGE. Some time ago the matter of secur ing tho establishment of a college was taken up. A pian was deoided upon, and a oommittee was appointed to canvass fer subscriptions. For vari ons unavoidable reasons this oommit tee has not yet been able to get to ac tive work, bnt the project has not yet been abandonad. Tu fact, we heard of some proposition that might come from other sources which lead ni to believe that a short delay wonld be ad vantageous. Such has proven to be the case? as we have just received a proposition from the Methodists of Greenville District to build'a college at this point provided. Anderson will .contribute a moderate subscription for the purpose. They do not ask for a very large outlay of ianda, and we hope in a few days to present a letter to our people in more definite shape. I am sure we will do the needful whon the matter ls fairly presented. THE CLEMSON? ENCAMPMENT. . The Chamber of Commeroe has se cured the encampment.of the Clemson cadets to be held in this city this Sear. The?o are over 50v) cadets nt ie college, coming from every section of the State.. Tr?ese yoong men will come to Anderson, spend several days here, and become acquainted with the city. They will inspect our mills, electric light plants, business houser farms, learn of the way Anderson peo ple do things, andN whop they go to tholr different homes ' they will carry with them stories about Anderson. In this way Anderson is advertising her resources and advantages in every seotion of the State and in the most practical and direot way. FINANCIAL. Thc report of our treasurer is worthy of uote. Ic sliows that wo ha*o on* baud nearly fi, loo. All bills have been paid as they fell due, but for tho money on hand a considerable portiou is pledged for 6uooifio purposes. Wo owe $200 to tho ?tate Immigration so ciety, wo will soon owe tho Charles ton News and Courier $160 fer ad vertising in the centennial edition of that paper soon to be issued, and wo still owe a balance for attorney's fees and other expenses in connection with the freight race hearing. These bills, which will be paid npon presenta tion, will leave us something Uko $500 on band. The [Clemson encampment will oust us something- though uot a great deal. There are other expenses which will soon develop, and which must be met, so that wo will need all the money wo have ou hand and moro besides. We recognized at tho very beginning that th s organization could aucomplish nothing without money to back its efforrs. Tho report of tho treasurer will show tho various sources from which our income has been obtained during the year, as well as tho expenditures. FOR CHARITY'S SAKE. Lust Juuo a destructive storm aud flood swept over our sister county of Spartauburg, destroying severul largo cotton mills, hundreds of operatives' cottages and loaving thousands of peo ple homeless aud destitr.ee. It was a timo of great distrow nod sufferiug for them. As soou n? tho extent of the terrible calamity was kuowu our direotors met and telegraphed the sum of $?00 to the muy or of Spartan burg to be used as a relief fund. This was the first contribution of any size made, and was much appreciated by the people of Spartanburg. I have the satisfaction of Knowing that this aotion of our direotors met with the fullest approval of oar entire mem bership and of the people of the oity as well. While working for our own interests we still have a brotherly feeling for others, and ou.- people have endorsed the action of helping a neighbor community in distress. THE FUTURE. I believe it will bo conceded that the Ohamber of Commerce has ac complished good for tho city. The need for such aa organization is greater now than it ever has been, for, as our city grows end develops, as new possibilities and opportunities open before ns, the wore and ssope of the Chamber of Commerce will con stantly increase. While the present membership is very full it could be made larger. There is not a business or profession in the city that cannot be benefited by belonging to it and taking aa active .part ia its work. Aad this point I woald especially em phasize. We neect to have a more active co-operation and active inter est on the part of ali our members. It is only by this means that tho or ganization can do its fullest and best work. The members have been very loyal and liberal whenever called np on, bat a great many of those who willingly and gladly pay their month ly dues in order to give the organiza tion support seem willing to leave the work and management in the hands of a few. This spirit, while not intended so, is unjust alise to the members and to the officers. I hope to soo ? change, aud th?t cur meet ings in future will be better attended. It may be argued that "there is noth ing to do" at some of the meetings. This may be true in a sense, but we could'c-^ry easily find something upon which we oonld concentrate our ef forts, something we could accomplish for the good of Anderson, which we all iovo so well and of which we are all so proud. t i THE MEMBERSHIP. There are always prophets of ovil. There were some who predloted, when the Chamber of Commerce was organ ised, that it would not be kept alive more than a few mouths. The organ ization is now a year old, and while we have lost a few membors the num bers who have kept np their member ship is most gratifying. The first month we oolleotod in does the sum ol $95. Tne past month we have collector] m dues tho sum of $88. we have loni perhaps ten members all told. Some, though, will return; so I thiuk thc actual ldss is le BB than that. I wiL endeavor to have the committee on membership make aa active canvass for new members soon, as there arc many citizens who ought to belong tc the organization and who would bi benefited thereby. However, mem bership haB always been voluntary, and we have never sought to moke people belcng to it. A man's public spirit, and his love for the welfare of the town, will taite ?sro bf that. THE CITY'S FUTURE. Before concluding I want to con gratulate the members of the organ ization, and oil the people of the city ns well, upon the bright proa feote for the city in the near future. believe Anderson jsriH be, in a very few years, the largest and foremost oity xn the upper part of the State, as she is now the most enterprising and the most ambitions. We have more cotton spindles than any city ia the State; have more banking capital than any oity in the Stace per capita; we have more large and successful mercantile establish ments than any oity m the Seato of equal size; we are now sore of two large and important enterprises, one, the Interurban Railway line, the pri mary organization of which vas ef fected- his t week, and the snrv ay oj same is about oomploted, at- A h ich time work will begin. This enter prise is largely dne to the Indomitable energy of Dr. Geo. E. Oonghlinof In dianapolis, who has spent much time and money in this oity and territory, and who says that we have the bright est fut oro of any section with which he i H acquainted. This road will con nect Anderson with the neighboring towns of Belton, Williamston, Pelzer, Piedmont, Greenville and the inter vening farming territory. It is ah assured fact now that we will soon have a street oar line throughout our oity, including a belt line. Dr. Conghiin has his plans about perfected and will soon be ready for business. This day is our annual meeting in moro than one sense. It was this day one year, ago when this organization held its first meeting that a special committee was appointed to confer with Mr. J. J. Fret well and associates with tho view of purchasing the Hut ton's Ford water power on tho Toga too river. This committee has been >hard at work ever since to get Mr. Fret well to a dosing point and finally suc ceeded.. Your committee met again .today and handed to Mr. Fretwelland his associates the cash for the water power, all of which has been only I transferred to the new co tapoo y. ? This will bring into Anderson some 8, OOO moro horse power, which will be used in manufaoturing. ' Two of ? our cotton mills have arranged to doublo since the first of January aud I we have lau nebea a new cotton seed oil mill, rope and yarn mill, beverage and bottling factory, suspender fac tory aud handkerchief factory. Cheap electrical power ?B one of tho great inducements to manufactures, both great and small, to locate at this point. New honses aro going up all over tho city, new people aro coming in, and tho oity is expandiug aud growing in every direction. Our merchants say their trade is constaut ly increasing, our farmers aro besom ing more prosperous aud moro pro gressive, there is a spirit of activity and progress and conttdenco pervad ing all our people. There aro abun dant reasons for encouragement and thankfulness to canee UB tn forgo ahead and bend all oar energies to ward building up aud developing tho city. It should bo tho duty of lim Obamber of Commerce to lead lu this work, to gourd the interests of our city and our people, and to placo^our advantages aud tho work wo are do ing iu tho proper light before^ tho world. lu this work we will need the support of all tho people of the city aud couuty, aud this I most earnestly ask tor in tho coming year. To the membors of tho "Laities Civio Improvement League :" 1 greet yon, and iu the name of this Organ ization I extend to yon che rigbt baud of fellowship cordially wishing you unbounded success iu all of your uu dertakinge. Yours is tho youngest Organization to offer its servioes for the upbuilding of this progressive city, and I sincere ly hope yon will not lind a member of this Chamber of Commoroo who will not gladly and willingly givo tho tottering infaut a helping baud flnanciallv or otherwise. I: has al ways boen the policy of the United States government to foster infaut in dustries, and I do not think our city, or the members of the Chamber of Comme.co, or ourselves individually could do better than to adopt this polioy.

Homo Remedies. About caring for the Ptlo ones : I have three of my ow? 'he eldest eight, and tho baby three. Tho small uilnents incidental to childhood 1 treat myself, but I never trust home remedies unless they bring relief very quickly. I have a good physician with the patient as soon a? I can get him. For an ordinary cold, I give a teaspoonful every hour of honey and whisky mixed, half and half. If croup is threatened, get a red flannel cloth, make a bib of it, with high collar band to como up arouud the neck: rub on it until it ?3 thoroughly sat?rate*? camphoric?, n. box of which can be bought at any drug store for a dime; now sprinkle over the catnphorico spirits of turpentine, not enough to blister, but just to burn good; give a dose of laxative medicine, and quick relief follows. If croup develops, take tablespoonful cf powdered alum, mix with honey or syrup, aud give the child until it throws up; this is in stant relief. For chills and fevers, I usc calomel in small doses until the liver is arous ed, and follow with juioino, which is our accepted treatment in these Louis iana swamps, which have a bad namo among the hill people, but, as a mat ter of fact, arc a great deal healthier than any hill region I know. For a powder burn from an explo sion, gun bursting, etc, use grated Irish potato poultices. They will take every milo of powder out of tho skin, and are very soothing and cool. For small burns on fingers or hands even bad ones-contrary to general advice I make the little ones hold them under oold water, away from the air. It is instant relief, and oh 1 what a boon to one suffering from a burn. In the case of my little four-year old girl, who scalded her whole hand miserably just after Buppcr, I covered it entirely with cold water in which a handful of soda was dissolved. When I put her to bed, I drew a ohair up near her, put the bowl of water on it, let the poor, bloated little hand rest in it, and she slept peacefully all night. Next morning every bit of pain was gone, but the hand needed treatment. First, I used carbolized vaseline as a dressing (ten drops car bolic acid to o bottle of vaseline, well mixed) for a day or two, then where the skin was bioken I sifted powdered bismuth, followed the next day by iodoform, using, all the time, though, the vaseline preparation, to prevent the skin drying too fast, on bandages.
