What lie Says of Lancaster am ller Business Men. When the narrow guage trait arrived ?t Lancaster the passeti gers were noon out of the coach A two horse vehicle, Nteith grea1 hanging curtains that were loose at. bottom and sides, was waiting for customers. Of the four met that came in on that, train, f drummer and myself took seati in the machine above described In a little while our two horst vehicle, from which the wine spread out the curtains like great wings, stat ted off in a great rust ' for tlie the hotel. We scon passed | the other two passengers win weie Walking nil the sidewalk together. One of them was repu ted to he the richest man 111 town While I wa- being hurried alnnt behind the trotters and hetweei the llymg julaps of tho vehicle, I thought of a little accident, thai occurred many years an??. VVhiU the stat?? fair was going >n a hit. carriage, with two hors ? and t1 <1 river was hired by an dividua whose name is not mentioned The object of hiring that carriage was to take some lady friends otr driving about, the city. Whet having a nice drive, that, wai seemingly enjoyed by all, tin aforesaid gudgeon and his lad\ friends passed Mr. Boattie, I'res ident of a bank in Greenville lie and bis lady friend won walking. The contrast in the waj of our transportation afforded at object lesson, which the gtidgeot never forgot. Mr. Beattie wai able to buy and own the carriage and horses which the splurging gentleman was scarcely able t( hire for two hours. That carriage and horses were soon sent back t? the livery stable, and it was the last, turnout that the aforesaid gudgeon has hired to haul girh around any city. The lesson which Mr. Heattie unconsciously taught has been worth much. EXCELLENT CITIZENSHIP. Lancaster is an old town, with a most excellent citizenship. Like a majority ot the old towns, ll made little progress until aftei some first-class funerals were had and when new blood and new liff began to assert itself, the old town began to make progress. HANDSOME DWELLINGS AMONG MAG NIFICENT OAKS. Lancaster has some very old buildings which stand in conspic uous places, but thero are a large number of handsome new Jvrel lings. Many gr.-at oaks adorn th< lots in every part oftlie town. SUCCESSFUL MEN. Among the notably successfu men may be mentioned Heath Springs & Co. Thoy have made < great fortune in business circlet and have done much in addiDf material prosperity to the place. Mr. Waddy 0. Thompson, is on< of the most enterprising, as wel as one of the most successful met in the town. And what is best, h< is under tongue of good report and everybody likes and respectf him. He is cashier of the Nation al Bank, and is secretary and treasurer of the cotton mill. The cotton mill is built largely iiflo cal capital, and is makinagfhoney The stock is held in goodresteem ' * '\Jt iR EN SEMI-WEEKLY. _ ER~ S7 C.~ SATURDAY' > and commands about par on the street. Some of Mr. Thompson's best I work has been as mayor of the town. He has improved the old thoroughfares and opened new 1 streets. Has brought real estate for public uses, namely : A lot * for building stable and guard house, and a large tract, of land _ for a city cemetery. He has doublr ?? uu iiiv uuuiuci HI jmi11cc'inen, ^ bought a town wagon, and now e lights the streets every night, in- ? stead of only once in a week, as was done before he went into of I tice. And he has done all this ^ without increasing the tax assess- '' meats. w > t? | Til K 1MCYCLE QUESTION. ? The bicycle question which has I ? so long perplexed alike aldermen e and citizens, be lias settled in a T * way which 1 think more satisfac- d r tory than any other that I have p 1 noticed. The town ordinance for- w ' bids the riding of bicycles on the g L sidewalks. But upon the pave- i< 1 meat of one dollar, license is a - given, under proper restrictions, tl 1 to ride on all the sidewalks, ex a ' cept on one part of one street. Persona who ride the sidewalks * without license are lined. Persons ' with license who violate the ordi- J 1 nances, or cause trouble, are ' either fined or their license is re- u * voked. a i A SCOTCHMAN S 11IU FORTUNE. p in me town is a Scotchman, ale full blooded Associate Reformed Presbyterian, who settled there twenty years ago. He carried n with him $500 of his own money, u and $500 which he hail borrowed. " With that capital he opened a c store, and spent $300 a year in r' advertising. He has kept up the n advertising, and to-day ho is said to be worth a hundred thousand dollars. The name of that Scotchn n man is Ganson. t< OOOU NKWSPAPBRS. s| Lancaster has three good news- c nu nnro o ml o $1m *?? a ^ ^1 |/??|/v 4 n, MIIU (% auuuil il is, they do uot quarrel with each (1 other.

NARROW G1TAOK PROSPERITY. Sometime ago the narrow guage ailroad between Chester and .ancaster was sold because of its nprofitableness. Citizens of Lan* ster bought it. Under the man gement of Lancaster men, the urchasers have been repaid ev ry cent of their outlay. The same enterprising people ave recently bought a cotton nil at Chester, which had been nprosperous. Under the samel innagement as that of the Lanaster cotton mill, and the nar uw guage railroad, the Chester lill will likely prosper. COTTON MILL TALK. It might not be amiss to speak lore fully ot the Lancaster cotMi mill. The structure is a fourtory build 50 by 339 feet, exlusive of engine room, boiler lorn, and opening room. It is linn a naiuiRome numiing. ts engines and boilers re first-claRs, and its different lachines are good. The managelent has been very satisfactory i the stockholders. The paid in apital stock is $132,000, of which mount $50,000 is held by norttiro investors, and the remainder ( held by citizens of the town. ,ast year a semi-annual dividend f six per cent was paid, and the oating debt was reduced from 00,000 to $70,000. 'the mill takes rders for yarn or cloth. 480 joms are in the mill, about 100 f which are standing; just now rhile the yarn department is bei?g run night and day. The looms o not run at night, but everyhing connected with the spin ing or yarn making department una on full time. 325 operatives nd employment, and live in 50 r 60 houses belonging to the nil).

The tower is placed in the cenre of the building, in front, and xcept in that particular does nut resent an outside appearance ery different from the Abbeville lill.One thing I noticed was that he door of the tower, which is the ntrance to the mill, opens Inrard, instead of outward.

In cane of a panic from tire the door would closed by the pressing crowd, and the building whieh is now ineir source of making ? living might become a r^al death* trap. With a ureal multitude pressing against the door shutters they could not tie opened, and even if those persons inside were not destroyed Uy lir?- the children, as well as grow n lolk, might tie trampled to deuth. While our legislators are looking after the welfare of their constituents it might not tie amiss to enact a law requiring the doors of all cotton mills and all other buildings in which great multitudes assemble, to open outward instead of inward. TI1K OUTLOOK AT AliBEVILLK. While there was much to admire in the Lancaster mill, yet I atn partial to the Abbeville mill. The Abbeville mill has been a little slower in making a dividend, but I hold my shares with a tinner grasp since seeing the Lancaster mill. The Abbeville mill is much more expensive to build. Its walls are thicker, and its equipment is much more cosily. In the course of a very short time, 1 hope the results will be correspondingly greater. For instance: The looms in the Lancaster mill will cost, say, $00 a piece. The 40inch looms in the Abbeville mill cost $147.50, the 30-inch .$127.50 each. To this sum may be added freight, shafting, belting and sitting up in each instance. One good weaver runs 6 of the sixty dollar looms, while one weaver at Abbeville runs 14, 10 or 18, looms according to proticiency. (liven two helpers, at small pay, one weaver at $1.30 a day now runs 40 of the looms at Abbeville. The average pay of a weaver ib a little over a dollar a day. The Abbeville looms run during the dinner hour, with little or no attention at all. ^superintendent Thompson is at work orgonizing his weavers at Abbeville, and will furnish each with two helpers, so that each weaver will run about forty iooms, bringing tne skill of weaver to a higher degree of efficiency than was ever before attained, and reducing the cost of weaving far below any liguro heretofore reached in any mill. \ l>r.
