0fcourse, such hotel requires an ex.
perienced landlord to manage it.
President Wilhite and his Board Of
Directors realized this, and in selecting
manager they exercised the same discre
tion and good judgment that had guided
them in the erection Of the building, fol
they had determined that the management
should be the very best. After much
work they finally secured

Anderson to clerk in Hon. B. F. Crayton's
store. He secured his good wife from
among our fair daughters, which, of
course, made him permanent citizen of
Anderson. Col. Maxwell is full of ener-
gy and when interested in any enterprise,
throws his full strength into it. He is
the efficient Secretary and Treasurer Of
the Anderson Building and Loan Asso-
citation.
These gentlemen have given their time
and personal attention to the building,
and were tireless in their efforts to see
! that everything was done in accordance
with the specifications, and for the best
interest of the stockholders. They have
secured building more handsome and
substantial, better furnished and at less
cost than would have been under con-

MR.. B. W. SPERRY

This gentleman is q native of Wiscon
Sin, but the greater part of his life has
been spent in Michigan, where he had
charge of several popular hotels at various
places. Two years ago he came South to
take charge of big hotel on Lookout
Mountain. This he managed through the
summer season, and in the fall of 1888
went to Tuscumbis, Ala, where he se-
cured partnership in the Parsball
House, the leading hotel of that city.
Under his management the Parsball
House was known far and wide, and the
travelling men often spoke of it when
visiting other towns. 1t was through
this way that Mr.. sperry's name first
came to the Chiquola Company. Mr..
sperry is about 40 years of age, and has
an amiable wife and pretty little daughter
He is familiar with every detail of hotel
management, and the Company has done
vel! TO secure him. He has most
pleasant, genial disposition, and by his
easy, courteous manners makes friend
of every patron of the hotel. Mr.. sperry
brought an efficient corps of cooks, wait
ers and stewards VITA him, every one of
whom thoroughly understand his duties.
The chief clerk in the Office is Mr.. W.
J. Dawkins, who for years past has been
connected with the leading hotels of Co.
lumbia and Augusta. He is we'll known
to the travelling men, and is tho roughly
conversant with the duties of his position.
The night clerk is Mr.. E. E. Whitner,
recently Of Florida.
The Chiquola, completed and furnished,
has cost about 100000.

THE BALL AND BANQUET.

Several weeks ago it was decided to
formally dedicate the Hotel Chiquola by
grand ball and banquet, and Tuesday
night, 31st December, was selected as the
date for the occasion.
Thefollowing committees were appoin-
ted:
Finance Committee-R. S. Ligon, B.
F. Crayton, T. F. Fill, J. g. Cunningham
aud J.S Fowler.
Ball and Invitation Committee-A. G /.
Means, Jr., Julian W. Bruce, DR.. S. M.
Orr, T. I. White, R. S. Ligon and I'D.

Banquet Committee-B. w. sperry, J..
L. Mauldin and W. F. Cox.
Committee of Arrangements--F. T.
Wilhite, J. L. Tribble, J. E. Peoples, w.
B. Watson, Gen. W. w. Humphreys, j..
A. Brock, ]. j. Ftetwell, Col. ]. D.
Maxwell and W. G. Watson.
These Committees went to work imme.
diately, determined to make the ball and
banquet a grand occasion. All Of our
people felt an interest In it, and every.
body looked forward to the night of the
31st December with the most pleasant
snticipations. More than thousand
handsome invitations we're sisued and
preparations were made to entertain that
number of guests.
Tuesday night soon rolled around, and
long before sunset it was evident that
something unusual was about to happen
in Anderson. Strangers could be seen on
almost every corner, and our own people
were stirring around lively. The after.
noon train from Augusta brought in q
large party of guests, among whom were
some of Augustus most prominent citi-
zens. An hour or two later the G. & G..
R. R. train arrived, and another large
crowd of both ladies and gentlemen
landed in the city.
About 81 o'clock groups could be seen
approaching the Chiquola from every
direction, and the building presented an
enchanting scene of loveliness and brill
liancy to their view. Every lightin the
building, from basement to the roof, was
ablaze, and the scene within was more
grander than the one from without. The
large lobbies, halls and parlors we're rap.
idly filing with handsome women and
gallant men, and almost every tongue was
uttering words of praise about the Chi.
quola.
1t was about 9 o'clock when The sweet
strains of music was heard from the
Italian String Band, of Charlotte, N. c.,
and in short time twenty-five couples
we're on the floor ready and anxious to
"tip the light fantastic" DR.. S. NJ. Orr
in his usual graceful style, acted as floor
manager, and the grand march opened
with MIR. g. W. Evans and Miss Kate
Marshall, of Abbeville, leading.
The crowd kept increasing, and ere
long there was scarcely standing room,
much less dancing room, but the merry
beaux and bellies continued the dance.
The crowd in attendance at this time was
estimated at from six to seven hundred.
Besides those present from our neigh
boring villages, there were representa-.

age of t8 he began clerking in his fathers

took course in pharmacy and special
course in chemistry, coming out with the

that the responsibility and the duty rests

plause. The greater the responsibility
that is placed in our hands, and the more
strictly we shall be held to account for
the manner in which we may perform
those duties. AS od.fearing and
christian people, we must see that the
laws we make are supported by us, so that
no stain shall rest upon this State to mar
the glorious history which she has given
us. In the Revolutionary war, from
Moultrie's fort to Kings Mountain peak
the valor of South Carolinians was tested.
In the war of 1912 the most glorious vic
tory which was gained on the American
continent was achieved by forces led BY, q
South Carolinian. Later, in the war With
Mexico, the banner of South Carolina was
the first planted in the halls of tie Mon
tezumas. In the last heroic struggle, in 0
glorious and holy cause, South Carolina's
courage was tested and fcand true on
every field of battle. Applause 1t IS
