ANDERSON.
As Seen by an Eight -Year.Old School Boy
of Miss Hubbard's Home School.
Anderson is situated in the northwest.
ern part of South Carolina in what is
known as the Piedmont region. a Com:
mittee was sent here from old Pendleton
to lay off place for the Court House,
about sixty-four years ago. The Court
House was built in The year 1927, and
the Presbyterian Church, which was the
first Church built in the city, was built
in the following year. The city was
named for Col. Robert Anderson, who
lived on Seneca River, and who was q
brave officer in the Revolutionary war.
Anderson has improved wonderfully
within the last few years. 1t now has
population of 1890. We have five pretty
Churches, namely: Baptist, Presbyterian,
Catholic, Methodist and Episcopal.
There are three Colleges, the Patrick
Military Institute, Female College and
Home School, besides several private
schools.
We have three weekly papers, the An
derson INTELLIGENcER, the Anderson
Journal, aud the Peoples Advocate. We
have one of the. prettiest hotels to be
found anywhere in the upper part Of the
State. There are five large factories in
the city, the Cotton Factory, Shoe Fac.
tory, (which turns out three hundred
pair of shoes day), Ice Factory, Os-
borne's Door, Sash and Blind Factory
and Stephens Buggy aud Wagon Facto-
~. There are several mills here, the
Sullivan Bros. Lumber Mills, Barton's
Planning Mill and the Oil Mill, which
makes cotton seed meal and oil. We.
have Laundry, which does an immense
business, running from Monday morning
until Saturday night We'have Foun-
dry, which is presided over by DR.. R. F.
Diver, which is kept busy all the time,
and then cannot fill all the orders, as it
gets orders from all parts of the State.
We have two Banks, the Farmers and
Merchants and National Bank, either of
which would do creditto city twice the
size of ours. We have handsome Mason.
ic Temple and Opera House, and will soon
have:a Young Mems Christian Associa>
ton Hall. They have bought lot and
given the contract for handsome build
ing, which will be completed at an early
day. We have eight practiciug physi
clans, whose eminence are known
throughout the State.
There are two railroads entering the
city, and there are not less than twenty
trains passing through the city day.
we have new Union Depot, which has
just been fixed up in Northern style. We
hope to have q new Court House in the
near future, which viii add much to the,
beauty Of our little city. The city is,
lighted by Electric Lights, and has Water
Works. We have three good fire compa.
MES, the Pioneers, Hook and Lander and
Rough and Ready. The latter is the col
ored team. We can boast of having the
best colored team in the State. We have
a City Cemetery, which will yet rank
with, Magnolia Cemetery, in Charleston.
Anderson is presided over by Mayor
aud six Aldermen, which consist of
Mayor Tolly, who isialsos st the head of
one of the largest furniture Establishments
in the State. The Aldermen are A. g.
Means, our popular clothing merchant;
j. R. Vandiver, Cashier of the Farmers
and Merchants Bank; G. O. Langston,
Editor Of the Anderson INTEL1IGENCER

lists in the State. We have six Livery
and Sale Stables, and for small sum
the boys can take their best girl for a
ride. We have some lovely drives
around and through the city. One Of
our loveliest drives is two miles distance
to Keys Spring, where you will find
lovely grove and spring of sparkling
water, besides large fish pond. From
there you can go to Crayton's stock farm,
where you will see some fine Jersey cat.
tie. Then there is Mr.. 7. NJ. Whites
vineyard, which is just sight within
itself. Mr.. E. B. Murray, who is an ex.
Senator, owns lovely spring, which WAS
once known as Harrison's spring. He
has also alovely lake, which is much
enjoyed by the young people to row
upon.
Anderson is noted for its delightful
climate and lovely mountain scenery, as
the hottest day in the summer cannot be
called oppressive, and it is very seldom
we ever have heavy snow in the winter,
aud do not think you could find more
hospitable people in the State, nay I
might say in the United States, than you
will fud right here in our little City of
Anderson-the garden spot of South
Carolina. JIMMIE CRAIG.
