There are number Of business and
professional men in Anderson who
stand at the top Of their profession,
and, by their daily work and labors,
do much to advance the interest of the
city and advertise it to as great al
extent as possible. There is no nobler
gentleman and popular citizen in An
derson to day than Dr. \. P. John
stone. As dentist he has built up
a large business in the city and coun-
ty, and among the class for whom he
has worked he receives the highest
praise and Communications.
DR.. Johnstone was born at Chester,
S. c., September 18th, 1917. He at
tended the schools of the day, and in
a short time began to take up the
study of dentistry, but he did not
complete this for some time, as he
partly gave up. Later, however. he
renewed his studies, and in 1915
he attended the Pennsylvania Dental
College at Philadelphia. He settled
in Newberry and practiced there for
three years At that time Anderson
was beginning to grow to great ex-
tent, so he moved here in December,
1877, and has continued to reside here
since that time. By his efficient
work DR.. Johnstone soon built up a
large business, and has been quite
successful as dentist from the time
he first began. For one term he was
President of the State Dental Associa-
tion.
Another honor bestowed upon DR..
Johnstone was his election to the
position of Demonstration in the Van
derbilt Dental College, and held this
place for three years. He resigned:
however, and returned to Anderson,
where he has resided continuously ever
since. This election was a distinct
honor to DR.. Johnstone, as there are
always number of applicants from
all parts of the United States, and he
was unanimously chosen to the posi-
tion over all of the contestants.
Through the income from his busi-
ness he has accumulated a great deal
of property in the city, and owns his
office, and also the store-room occu-
pied by Mr.. W. r. Hubbard.
DIR. Johnstonc is an elder in the
Presbyterian Church, and by all OF
his acquaintanccs he is spoken of III
the highest terms.

Mr.. r. +. LTGON.

There arc few young men in any
calling of life who hold a higher posi-
ton of trust and honor to-day than
Mr.. II. L Ligou, the Secretary and
General Manager of the Anderson
Cotton Mills. BY hard study, and a
keen eye to business, he has forged
rapidly to the front, but is still Oh q
road to higher positions.
Mr.. Ligon was born September Sth,
1868, and is son of the late Prof. ".
j. Ligon, one of the most prominent
educators Of that day and time. Prof.
Ligon educated his | oys and gave
them many advantages and early
training, which was Of untold benefit
in after life. Mr.. Liyon was reared
in this city, and at an early age began
clcrking, the first business which he
ever entered. He worked with num-
Der of merchants, and they all speak
in the best terms of the faithful SER
vice that lie performed. He gave per-
feet satisFac ton, and was rapidly ad
vancing. lie secured 4 position in
the Bank of Anderson, then the Ma
tional Bank of Anderson. and remain
cd with that institution for some time

goods. and giving employment to about
twenty-five statesmen and salcsladies.
The business is conducted on large
scale and the trade is something
enormous for this section of the State.
The business is not confined to the
city alone but all through this and
other counties. Mr.. Hill is man
with fine judgment and buys his
goods in such way that he can let
the people have them at the lowest
prices and then Ike Il legitimate
profit. He receives number OF
orders by mail from towns near An
drrson, and at no time of the year are
the salemen idle in his establishment.
1t is one of the most reliable houses
in South Carolina, as all those will
say who have ever had any dealings
at that place.
Almost every description OF an
article that one could call for in any
kind of store is kept in stock at this
store. and the prices are the lowest
that one could possibly wish.

land, S. G., and was born in the year
1910, at Rockville, Wadmalaw Island.
He went to school in Charleston until
1853. when, after recovering from a
case of yellow fever, was sent to Ash
vile, \. c., to attend the schools in
that city. but on account Of lung trou-
bic from the cold climate he was sent
to the Mount Zion Academy, at
Winnsboro, and from there to the
South Carolina College.
In April, 1861, Mr.. Townsend vol
untecrcd with the collegc cadets for
the coast defence. He served through
the war in the Rebel Troop, Company
|. 3rd South Carolina Cavalry. In
1866 he returned to the Islands, hav
ing recovered from the Freedman $
Bureau the landed property of the
family, and lived there for about ten

Mr.. Townsend's health was poor
and he was advised to move to the
up-country, which he did. and came
to Anderson January =, 1876, to take
charge of the Broadway Grain Mill
under certain conditions. In 1881
these conditions not having been
complied with he moved FROM Broad
way Mill to the city of Anderson and
ran grits mill and cotton gin. Not

ton oil mill was added, which was op-
Grated entirely by himself and his
three small boys. Two years later a
number of prominent business men
in this city held a meeting on the adj
visibility Of establishing a larger oil
mill (say ten tons.) This met with
hearty support. and the proposition
was made to Mr.. Townsend to have

TO take charge of the larger one. He
accepted the offer. and the present
Anderson Oil & Fertilizer mill was
established, which still conducts bus
mess on Il very large scale. Mr..
Townsend was given the position Of
Superintendent and still holds that
place. 1t wa due in Il large measure
is his hard To K that the mill has
been made Success, and Mr.. Town

ted with the cotton seed oil and ferti-
lizer business.
He is one of the leading citizens Of
Anderson, and takes an active interest
in everything that tends to advance
the interest and prosperity of the city
and county of Anderson.
