uuuuuuauuuuduuuuauuu
This is the first of a series of arti
cles which we propose to publish on
the advantages GalTney offers to home
seekers. Wo shall not overdo the
thing. We want to build up our sec
tion with good people and we are
fully aware that to do so by misrep
resentation would simply react upon
us, so the care will be taken not to
magnify anything.
Gaffney City, a town of over 3,000
inhabitants, is located in Spartan
burg county, S. C., the banner county
of the State, and in the midst of the
old Magnetic Iron District and on the i
main line of the Southern Railway.
It was located here in 1S73 and has
increased in population within the
last three years from 1.031 to 3,202,
which will ho increased to 4,000 or
over within four mont hs by emigrants
to work her largo cotton mills and
other industries. The capacity of
her lime works, three-quarters of a
mile from town reached by ^ steam
dummy railway, is about 300 barrels
daily. Within the last four years she
has erected two large cotton mills
under one corporation and manage
ment. The mills run ol. I iy spindles,
1,040 latest improved Draper looms
and 300 Whiting looms and manu
factures 12,000 hales of cotton annu
ally into print cloth which finds
ready sale in the markets. This is
beyond a doubt one of the tincst cot
ton mill plants In the South, and is
in the hands of energetic, pushing
men. The merchantile business will
compare favorably with any town in
the State, amounting to from one-
quarter to one-half a million of dol
lars per year. She has four churches
for white and four for colored people,
one Mule and Female Seminary, and
the Foter Cooper-Limestone Female
Institute, the Baptist High School
and two schools for colored people.
All are well attended and share alike
in proportion the free school fund.
The town is on a high, fairly level
plateau, 800 to S00 feet above the sea
level, well watered with limestone
and freestone us a basis. The mean
temperature is about 72 d.egroes and
very seldom in winter falls to zero,
and in summer scarcely ever over 100
degrees. No such thing as sunstroke
known hero. The night sure cool and
a good mountain breeze almost con
tinually. We are out of the track of
cyclones and destructive storms, and
free from musquitoes, sand Hies, fleas
and other annoying insects, as the
Alleghany range of mountains are
in full view, only thirty to forty
miles away. We lay under her pro
tecting wings. Almost any kind of
labor can be carried on comfortably
throughout the entire winter.
Its municipal officers are elected
by the people every two years and
good order is her maxim. No intoxi
cating liquors are allowed to be sold
except by the State dispensary. Her
people are sober, industrious, hospi
table and law abiding and will extend
a welcome band to any and all good
people who desire to make this their
future home.
Adjoining the corporation on the
north and east lies a body of about
G,0(I0 acres of land owned by the Gall-
ney City Land and Improvement Co.
This land extends across Broad River
and into York county, 8. C. About
20% to 25% of which is cleared and
in cultivation. It is of a sandy loam,
well watered and is drained by many
creeks and branches and has many
fine, cool springs. The topograyhy
of the country, as the word “Pied
mont” indicates, is varied—hills and
valleys. This land is traversed by
the Southern Railway which crosses
Broad river about one-half a mile
above the noted old Cherokee Ford
that was famous “before the war.”
Another railray has recently been
surveyed from Blacksburg in York
county nine miles north-east of this
place and through this town to the
county seat, Spartanburg, twenty
miles south-west from GalTney City,
which will be built in the near future,
giving GalTney City an outlet over a
competing line. This road runs
through the Company’s land about
four miles.
The lands of this company has
been recently laid out into farms of
from twenty-five to one hundred
acres, on each of which plenty of
pure water abounds. There has been
erected about twenty-five to thirty
plain tenemant houses on the land,
the farthcrcst of which is not more
than three and one-half or four miles
from the railroad depot in GalTney
City. Almost the whole tract men
tioned is underlaid with line mag
netic iron ore and other minerals.
The lands will produce under ordi
nary cultivation from 750 to 800 lbs.
of cotton to the ucio and from 15 to
25 bushels of corn on upland and
from 110 to 10 bushels on bottom
lands. Oats, wheat and rye grow
abundant. Potatoes and ground
peas are a sure and profitable crop,
also all kinds of garden truck. Sugar
cane for syrup yields largely and is
very profitable. These lands pro
duce'fine tobacco, broom corn and
almost any cereal, and with the ’.ise
of fertilizers cun be made to exceed
these estimates almost, in many in
stances, one half as much more.
Melons, apples, peaches and pears
are raised in abundance with but lit
tle care, and as for grapes this is
almost nature’s vineyard, as also
strawberries which grow wild in pro
fusion. The timber on these lands
is of second growth generally as most
of the virgin forest was cut down
years ago to supply fuel to run the
iron works. The timber on the lands
consist of pine and oak mostly and is
plentiful for fire wood. Soft coal can
be delivered here from $3 to if 1 per
ton or less.
Cotton mills are being built all
along broad river at its many falls.
One, the Cherokee Falls Manufact
uring Con)puny’s mill, joins the lands
of the Company. It has been in suc
cessful operation for many years.
This is no wilderness but a good,
civilized, healthy country, free from
malaria and settled by good, intelli
gent, thrfty people, many of whom
came from the north and west and do
not regret their choice of a home.
Our people welcome all good people
from any and all sections to locate
with us and will extend a helping
hand. This is no land boom, but it
is exactly as it is represented.
Correspondence from persons wish
ing a good home in a good commun
ity will be promptly answered by

NOT
LIKE
OTHERS
There is a difference between medi
cines and medicines.
Those of to-day, as a rule, differ from
those of the past in many respects.
Fully as great is the difference be
tween Dr. King’s
ROYAL GERMETUER
and the ordinary medicines of to-day.
It is unlike them in
THESE FIVE THINGS:
1. It docs not taste like a medi
cine. It is as pleasant to take as
lemonade and makes a most refreshing
drink.
2. It never nauseates tho most
delicate stomach.
3. It docs not swap off one dis
ease for another. It does not set up
one form of disease in order to relieve
another as is so often the case.
4. It contains no alcohol or
opium in any form and is always
harmless even when given to a babe
one day old.
5. lit does not patch simply, it
cures. It reaches as nothing else
does to the hidden sources of disease
in the blood and removes the cause. It
does this with an ease and power that
have never been equaled.
For all troubles of the Blood, Stomach.
Rowels, Kidneys and Nerves, and for all forms
of MALARIAL I’OISON it stands pre-eminent—
without a rival or a peer.
