Scattered along its sides are the men who have won more than ordinary prominence in the Reports Submitted by the County Audi tors. Supervisor Lipscomb returned last week from Columbia, where he went to attend a meeting of the State Equalization Hoard which met to ex amine the reports of the returns in the several counties as submitted by the county auditors. No marked changes were made by the board.

Among have achieved success of their own individual merit can be found the this sketch. W. C. Hamrick was born in Cleve land county, X. C., just thirty-eight years ago. Brought up on tho farm as he was, naturally he became ac quainted with all the hardships and vicissitudes incident to farm life as well as the pleasures attending the same. At an early age he evinced an aptness for books. His boyhood training consisted mainly of the routine attendance of the old field schools for two or three months in each year. However, the manifest love for books developed into a craze and, when a young man, he was placed in a high school and al lowed to remain until completing his Abbeville.... Aiken Anderson...

Attaining his majority, he attended medical lec tures in Haltirnore and upon return ing to his native State successfully practiced that profession, until forced from failing health to abandon it. It was in the fall of 18S8 that the democrats of Cleveland county, X. C., elected him to the legislature of that State. Inexperienced though he was in that branch of business, his versatility and fitness was at once recognized by that body, and in the organization of the House he was made chairman of one of the most important committees in that body, besides being placed on various other committees. After representing the people of his native county for one term in the legislature, he decided to look for fields in which there was a better living. In the fall of 1889 he moved to Clifton, S. C., and engaged in the mercantile business, in which his capacity us a business man was dem onstrated. However, to bring the matter nearer, it was in the spring of 1895 when Mr. Hamrick moved to Gaffney to take charge of the store of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company that he settled among us. Everyone is familiar with his polit ical sagacity exhibited in the man agement of the new county campaign of which he was chairman. The one qualification, however, that some of his friends claim over his opponents is that since he was one of the two commissioners of our county appointed in 1897, by the Governor, to adjust all past indebt edness and claims that exist between the county of Cherokee and the counties of Spartanburg, Union and York, he is the better prepared to enact such legislation for our county as will in the near future arise from our relations to these old counties.

The Blacksburg correspondent of the Columbia State has N the following to say of the recent change in the management of the Cherokee Inn of that city: Cherokee Inn, our large and popu lar hostelry, has recently been taken charge of by Messrs.

Tho Inn, with its splendid ar rangements for a first class hotel, its fine location f° r health and comfort and pleasure, the best of rairoad telegraph and telephone connections with the great cities of the country should be one of the most popular resorts for southern tourists in the summer and northern tourists in the winter.
