No man in Pendleton has done more
to advance the interests and welfare
Of the town than Mr.. Z. L. G. Terrie,
the present efficient Intendant. The
short time that be has served in this
official capacity has shown that his
whole heart is set on the progress and
development of the little town that
has had such an interesting history
from the time that the first house was
erected, many years ago. Mr.. Terrie
took hold Of the reins Of the town
government when everything was in a
bad state of affairs, though by no
means the fault of his predecessors,
and at once began to get everything in
order again. In this lie has succeed
ed remarkably we'll, and the work he
has done shows splendid results.
Mr.. Terrie was born at Pendleton,
in February, 1857. When he was
only seven years of age he went to
Charleston, and his early life was
spent attending the schools in that
city, and his first work was with Mr..
T. S. Nipson. shoe merchant of that
city. Mr.. Terrie gained the respect
and esteem of Mr.. Nipson, and was
gradually promoted from the time he
entered his employ. He remained in
this establishment for ffsecn years,
and when he decided to return to his
old home at Pendleton, Mr. Nipson
offered him extra inducements to stay
with him, hut this Mr.. Terrie dcclin-
ed to do He went to Pendleton, and
was Immediately offered 4 position
with James Hunter & Sons, and has
been connected with that house regu-
larly fer 6fteen years. He still holds
that position, and is the trusted and
confidential friend and adviser of the
present owner.
Mr.. Terrie is man of splendid
Judgment and foresight, and in busi-
ness circles he stands at the top Of the
ladder to-day He takes great inter
est in his. work. and by his faithful
ness and attention to his duties, has
gained the highest regard by those
for whom he works. Mr.. Terrie has
been elected several terms as mem
Der of the City Council, and at the last
election he was unanimously elected
Iutendant. Those serving with him
are P. FL. f. Sloan, jr., J. Dawson
Smith, j. n. Hunter and William
Campbell, all good, honest men, who
are on the alert at all times to give
the town good administration. This
has been done, but the credit is due
Mr.. Terric, for if Il man has ever
worked hard for the town, he is the
man. He is public spirited gentle
man, and believes that brighter day
will dawn for the old town, and the
people must wake up and help them
selves. Mr.. Terrie is member of the
Knights Of Honor. He intends to
make his home in Penileton, and for
that reason will uscall of his influence
and aid to increase the volume of
business done there and to help to
bring new settlers to that part of the

There arc L Great many gentlemen
| of the old school around Pendleton,
who, BY their noble acts and deeds,
have proven to the world that they
possessed the real merit and ability of
their forcfathcrs. Among this class
none stand higher in the estimation Of
the people than Mr.. Edward Henry
Shapklin, who has spent all his life IN
Anderson county, and no citizen has
had the interest Of his county at Geart

and was one of the leading settlers of
the old Pendleton District.

Virginia and South Carolina, who
have always been prominent and in
hucntial in all the walks of life.
Henry Shanklin received his acade-
mic education at Pendleton, attend

not have to take up any profession in

Mr.. Shanklin was member OF the
22d Regiment. under Col. Goodlett,
and was transferred to the Seventh
South Carolina cavalry, under Col. A.
c.. Haskell. Every soldier who knew
Henry Shanklin during the war, can
tell of the bravery he displayed lrc the
face of danger, and whenever there
was a perilous task to have done, he
was alweys selected. for his officers
knew that in him they haG Gre who
