VISIT TO LANCASTER.
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

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

stead of only once in a week, as
was done before he went into of

without increasing the tax assess- ''
meats. w

| 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 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.

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

may change the hang of the
doorB.
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. \
