"I am much Impressed with this section of country and the number of good towns we are viewing," said a Westerner while on a recent inspec tion tiip over the Southern Railway in South Carolina, where, by the -way, he his since chosen a location and is now establishing himself in business. "It strikes me most favorably and the op portunities presented are attractive and give promise of much profit," he continued, "and are such as commenu themselves to one seeking a Pew home.'" The representative of The f 1ield who was his iareling companion unfolded a map of the Palmetto State, and using it to Illustrate his talk, gave a few facts and some figures concern ing the State whirli was the text of his discourse. "The Southeni Railway has 585 miles of road in this State, running through 18 counties and by 98 stations, 8 where are employed agents to look a after the company's bueiness. It will interest you to learn that nearly a a third of these towns have a popula. tion of 1,OCO or in excess of that num bei, the 30 towns which figure in that i table being classilled in the latest re u ports ont file in this wise : live 1,000, A three 1,200, two 1,500, three 2,000, one 2,500, one :3,000, two 3,500, one 4,000, sievtn 5,000, two 6,000, one 13,000, one 15,000 one 5,000, the last figure liaving reference to the number of people who dwell in Columbia, the D capital of the State. L "The naitr line from Waslilugton to Y Atlanta enters the State near the in-rthwesL corner of York County and runs through York, Cherokee, Spar , tanburg, Greeiville, Pickens and Oconee counties before covering the f 125 miles which bring one to the Geor y gia border in 3 1-2 hours as run by the y vestih aled trains These counties are in Y what is designatedi as the Piedmont 1 sectioli, possess a fertile soil, are rich m linerals, timber and water power, and grow a great variety of crops. "York County has somec fine level hinds, though its surface is broken to a U considerable extent. A r d and yellow e clay underlays the sandy and clay loam C soils, and in the valleys is found a deep vegetable loani. ''obacco, fruit and grapes all do wvell, in addition to the min1 crops of cottoni, corn and small c grain. 'T'le forests are made up of d oak, hickory, short-leaf pine, ash and >f poplar, and other varieties which at n attanin great size, sone aycamores d measuring more than 25 feet in cir clillferelee ful and with sugar mjaples andi(i the tulip tree attracting attention Y rough their size.

A grani Sito quarry is operated here also, includ .ing im its consigmtnents cars to l'itti iburg arid other points North and WVest. ,Glendale, Cowpens, Welhford arnd Dumn > can are othier towns uipoii the bouth r ern system at which there are mills a tributary to the stations. 3 "The main lIne bisecti Grecuville ' County, and~ the branch between Co. i' lurmbia and G#reernville is laid through .its southwestern section. The soil is y gray to (lark stand loam with red clay subsoil frequently gravel mixed i and with extensive bottoms on the 'creeks - and rivers. Its agricultural products include cotton as the main crop, in addition to grains, grasses andl i frits. Grapes and apples are remut a nerative, and stock-raising is followed with profit A nood quality of grnite is quarried, and gold and iron are among Its resources. The B:iluda river marks Its westerin boundary and with the Reedy and Enoree furnish its water-powers. Qaks, hickory, ash, Dhestnuts and walnut appear in its woods. * In the center of the county is Greenville, the seat of Its government, at the junction of the lines before men tioned and the Carolina, Knoxville & Western, a short line terminating_ in the northwest part of the county. With its 15,000 population, its mills with thousaqds of spindles, its factories, its educational advantages and splendid business facilities, Greenville is easily recognized as one of the leading towns of the State. Piedmont, a town of 8,500, and Greer's, with 1,200 popila tion, and other towns in the county which have important textile indus-| tries. Four mills at Piedmont have 59,000 spindles and 1,838 looms, and at and near Greer's there are factories turning out cloth, yarn, hose and bat ting. "Between the Seno.a river on one side' and the Saluda on the other lies Pic.kens, one of the mountain counties, with much broken land, rugged, pic turesque scenery, beautiful valleys and valuable resources. Its mineral rich ness includes gold, copper, corundum, feldspar, iron, asbestos and gianite. In the forests are oak, hickory, chest nut and pine, and through its valleys course creeks and rivers which supply good water-powers. Corn and grain are chiefly grown, with cotton, clover, hay and some tobacco. The main line of the Southern runs near the south eastern border of the county, passing through the villages of Easley, Liberty, Central and Calhoun. At Easley, the junction point with a small road run ning to Pickens, the county seat, nine miles away, is an oil mill, and at Lib erty a simdlar industry and a planing mill. Four miles from Central is a cotton mill employing 200 hands, and a mile from Calhoun is Clemson Col lege, the State Agricultural and Me chanical behool. "Oconee is the. northwest county of the State, heavily timbered, well watered, and with a fertile soil, sandy and clay loam. The precious metals are in its hills and, besides, are lead, copper, graphite, mica and corundmn. Fifteen falls, from 30 to 100 feet high, are within the county, which has sev. oral rivers and creeks. Red, white and post oak with hickory, chestnut, pine and dogwood are its timber feat ures, with ash and beech. The soil is particularly adapted to apples, many magnilicent specinpens going to the outside markets. Peaches, pears and grapes do well, and other fruits are shown to equal advantage. Seneca and Westminster are towns of 1 ,0o population through which the South era p-isses. The former is at the junctlon point of the line running ic the county-seat, and has someo valua. ble near-by water-powers which arc not utilized. Four miles away is t cotton mill on whose pay-rolls appeai the names of 400 operatives. West minster employs 25 muen in a shuttle and bobbin mill. '"Corning down from Chaurlotte, N C., the line to Augusta, Ga., first, passei thrroughi Fort Mill and Reck Hill in~ York County, and thenr runs through Chester County, the line s[plitting it in a nrorth and~ south direction. Chester is dlesignrated as bieing in the 'hill coun try,' and~ has a reputation for first-class results in agricultIural p nes, growing cotton anrd grain, sheep anti cattle. In timrber there is oak, walnut, hickory, pine arid ash, and in minerals, gold, irorr, chalk, granite and limestone. Plenty of water-power is available. Ahnrost in the centre of the county is Chester, a town of 5,000, thre seat qf governmenrt, whrere threre gg--["' ginglranr_'/? il~a sininug mill withI ,u00 spindles. Blackstock, a small town near thre south border, is sup. poi tedl by its agricultural resources. "Next, and~ near thre centre of the State, is Fairfld, a county with char. aster-istics of both the Piedmont andi sand hill secthons, andl with rolling lands, varying from broad, level acree to high and~ broken acreage. The sanrdy soil mixed with gravel pas red clay sub-soils and in addition to cottorn and~ tobacco yields grasses and grains in nbund~ance. Woodtwarts and~ White Oak are stations in agricultural comn mimnities passed err route to W'inns boro, the county seat, with a pop~ula tion of about 2,000, where there is a cotton mnill1 emploeying 125 operatives. Next belo0w it is Rtockton, whore are thre granite quarries operated by a Char lestoin company, which has pl:rced it in many public and private buildings, inclurding tire Carnegia Library, Pitts burg. W Ite, gray s and blue are va rieties furnished, the absence of iron in thre stone rendering it free from dis coloration and streaks. Exposure to the weather but increases its whiteness of coloring. Ridgeway arid Blythe wood are stations farther to thre south. Following tihe Broad river an the west sidle of the county is a portion of the line connecting Spartanburg arid Co lumbia. The towns on this stretch of thirty miles of road are small arid have errly the business esta blishmeonts inci dcent to small villages In agricultural commumnties. "Between Fairfield and Spartnbur Counties is tire connecting link of tire litre last mientionedl, tis running thr-ough Union County for a (distance of thirty-one miles. Union 'is one of tire Piedmont cunrties, with soils of light gravel arid sand arid red clay learn and~ sub-soils of r-ed and white clay, andi, occasionally, rotten rock. Ther lands re broken arid rolling, very pro uuctive, with meadows given largely to stock-raising. Cotton and cornr are uisiul crops, with tobacco, clover and hay. it possesses a fine building grarnite, sonic diamnondl-bearing rock, andt iron, limnestonie and soapstone. Oak, walhut, hrickor-y, beech, p~olar arnd pirne appear in its list of timbers. Numerous water-powers are alopig thne rivers and1 creeks. Going toward Co lumbia tihe fir-st stop) is at Jonesville, whore threre is a small knitting mill, but tis is also thre shipping poit of thre mill at Lockhart, somne miles away where 600 emrploy ees are at work. Union, the~ county stat, Is next In view, brinrging within one's vision a town of 5,000 people, where there Is an oil mill, a plant on cotton goods and another on hosiery. Farther down are antun arid Canlihle, pointn about which are nour and feed -ills and kindred establishmente. "Two of the Southeri liaes join at Columbia, the capital, in, Richland County, In the' centre of the 'State. This county is said to have some of the model farms of the South. It is on what is called the "sand ridge" with rolling lands fine bodies of level coun try and fertile lowlands. Pipe clay is used for briek -and pottery making, and there are large granite quarries which ship large quantities of stone. Cotton, corn and tobacco are grown. Columbia, with its 25,000 population i, the second city in the State, and carries on an extensive manufactur ing business. The Congnree river furnishes an immense water power through a canal five miles in length, developing 20,000 horse-power, The industries comprise cotton mills, fer tilizer plants, oil mills, planing mills, machine shops and lesser enterprises which aggregate extensive pay-rolls. At Killian, ten miles above Columbia, kaolin and fire clay are found, a fac tory employing forty hands using the latter in its works. "Running through the eastern por tion of Anderson County is the line connecting Greenville and Columbia, a branch ten miles in length running from Bolton to Anderson, the county seat. The county is in t, e Piedmont region, rich in agi iculture and pro gressive in industrial enterprise. The soils are clay, producing remunerative returns in cotton, grain, grass and fruits. In mnicials there are iron, copper, coal, manganese and corun dum, and in woods, oak, hickory, pine, poplar, maple and gum. . Water power is supplied by several large streams and smaller creeks and branches. Two of the towns in the county have in ex cess of 5,000 population-Pelzer and |Anderson. Pelzer turns 105,000 spin dies in four mills, has a forty-ton oil mill, a foundry and a broom factory. Anderson has 35,000 spindles and 1, 120 looms at work, in addition to an oil andl fertilizer plant, lumber mills, foundries and minor industries.
