Payseur has been in business here more than 30 years. He came to Lancaster on January 27, 1874, and started to work at his trade next day, which was 30 years ago on the 28th of last month. He did three jobs the first day he went to work. The first was putting a main-spring in watch for the late Cull Mathis, $1.50. The next was cleaning and capping iewel in Wftteh of .a linrso Hrnvnr rf "" " ? V? WW X** w T V named Creech, $1.50. The third job was for the late John C. Secrest, cleaning watch, $1.50. Looking through Mr. Payseur's hook for the next month (February) we find that he did a good business and that he got good prices for his work. But he says, "I am tired of it, and am going to quit." It is noteworthy that Mr.Payseur is the only active merchant in Lancaster that was in business when ho started 30 years ago. Indeed there is none here now tnat was in business 23 years ago, save Mr. W. I). Lemraoud. Mr. liletke Robertson Seriouslf/ Hurt in Charleston. The numerous friends through out the county of Mr. Blake Robertson will be pained to learn that he met with a serious acci dent in Charleston last Wednesday night, the particulars of which are given in Friday's f "< U .. -1 1> 1. HL_ ? uiimiooiuu i urn, iUO UCCUUIll errously states that Mr. Robertson is Iroin York county, lie is a son of Mr. B. L. Robertson, ol O tkhurst, this county. The Post says: Mr. Blake L. Robertson, a student of the pharmacy depart ment of the South Carolina Medical College, who was injured on Wednesday night in alighting from a car on the corner of Rutledge avenue and Beaufain street is reported to be in a serious condition. He was removed from the general ward at the city hospital, where he was placed on Wednesday night, to the Riverside Infirmary this morning. Mr. Robertson is a man of mnflt rn nloru KoKito arts! r\l Ann mwwv %'n v iii m j titvuito aim pioao" ant manners and ia one of the most popular members of his class. When he was hurt he was on his way to the room of a class mate on Kutl^dge avenue to take part in a "quiz." The exact way in which he happened to be hurt is not positively known. Ila may have attempted to jump off the car in motion and was per haps thrown by a jolt of the \car before he was ready to step off. At all events, he came in contact with a tree or pole which bruised his tace and the sudden impact |r55M] j And Barg * We have moved across tin m budding, which has been occ A and are now ready for busir ^ we are no longer crowded fo to show up the matchless bai i Our Big Winl M Continues with increased int m termined to wipe out all he> i THE CASH STO] 0 advantage.

C must have caused him to fall backwards, striking his head on the roadway pavement, causing concussion of the brain. Mr. Robertson's e>e sight is not very clear, which may account for him running into the tree or post which bruised his face and fore head. He must have been hurt about 9 o'clock and was later found by a policeman and sent to the city hospital at 9 30 o'clock. He was unconscious when he was picked up and has not yet recov ered consciousness. Mr. Robertson entered the medical college last October.

They have been notified of his condition and until his father is heard from and special instructions received the Charleston friends ot the young man will do everything possible for him to alleviate his suffering and restore him to his former good health. Although Mr. Robertson had letters and a note book in hie possession, giving his address, none of his friends nor Dr. E. S. Burnham, at whose pharmacy Mr. Robertson was employed between the hours of his lectures at college, were informed by the Dolice department or the ritv hospital authorities of his injury, The failure of the young man tc appear at the drug store and college yesterday started an invesii gation, which resulted in the finding of the student in his crit ical condition in the general ward of the hospital.

Later: Since the following was put in type we learn that Mr Blake Robertson is very much better. His father went to Charleston to see him. "Cuba on Wheels'* to be Here Next Thursday.
