WIND AND SEA.

The sea Is jov1Gi comradc;
He laughs wherever he goes:
His merrimcnt shines in the dimpling lines
Tint wrinkle his hale rcpose:
He lays himself down Mt the feet Of the sun,
And shakes I'LL over with glee,
And the broad backed pillows fall faint on the
shore
In tho mirth of the mighty seal
But the wind is sad and restless
And cursed with an inward pain;
You may harls Mt will. By valley or hill,
But you hear him still complain.
10 walls on the barren mountains
And shrieks on the wintry sea;
BE sobs in the cedar and means in the pine
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices,
And know not which is best
The laughter that slips from oceans lips
Or tho comfortless winds unrest.
There's pang in all rejoicing
A Joy in the heart Of pain,
And tho wind that saddens, the sea that glad
dens,
Are singing the selfsame strain.
-Bayard Taylor.

One OF the most noted physicians and
surgeons ia DR.. Job Sweet, of New Bed
ford. Mass. He makes the public state
mont that he has often recommended
the use of DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy to his patients who
have been suffering from nervous
troubles and he has learned that in a
large number of these cases 1t has
proven efflcaoious.
DR.. Willard 81. Morse, F. B. 8. &c., of
Westfield, N. J., the great expert on
medicines, says Of this grand discovery
of DR.. Greene
1.-THE true remedy for nervous diseases
is DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. 1t acts by affecting the organs
of the nutrition, and entering into the
formatio Of new nerve tissue, which
generates nerve force. This means the
making of new nerves."

experimenting physician of the N. Y.

Among the cotton buyers of Ander-
son, and, in fact, the entire Piedmont
section, where the finest upland cot
ton produced in the Southern States
is grown, few enjoy Il higher reputa-
tion for quick and accurate cIassltlca-
ton of cotton and for sterling bust
ness qualities as does Mr. ID. p. Nc
Braycr. and few young men have adj
vanced as rapidly to the front. MIR.
McBrayer was born in Cleveland coun-
ty. North Carolina. near Shelby,
and received his education at the
Shelby Academy. completing his
course in 1881.
At the age of twenty he entered the
service cf MessrS. Carroll Il Carpen-
ter. ut Shelby, who at that time were
the largest cotton dealers in the Pied
mon, section, handling each season
upwards of 100, 900 bales. After two
wears service as bookkceper and ship
ping clerk. Mr. McBraycr was made
resident buyer at that town. and had
also assigned to him three or four
points along the line of the Carolina
Central Railroad ilaviug filled this
position with credit to himself and to
the satisfaction of his employers for
two years. he was assigned to the ter
ritorv surrounding Union. S. C., with
headquarters at Union. where he re-
maincd for one season. buying up
wards of 1000 bales. In 1870 he en-
tered the service of Walker. Fleming
& Sloan. of Spartanhurg. and was
sent to Bennctt>villr, near the North
Carolina line. where the same activity
and close attention to business which
characterized him at other points,
made his stay profitable to his en-
/ ployerS, and pleasant and gratifying
to himself. In 1890 the firm OF Wal

The territory from which this firm
draws trade is throughout the upper
part of the State and Georgia, nearest
to the South Carolina line. Three ex-
perienced men travel through this
territory all the year, and they send
in great many orders in the course
of month. In the machinery de-
partment they are prepared to put up
the largest outfits on short notice and
at low prices. The men who manage
this end of the line are thoroughly
competent and understand all about
machinery.
The Sullivan Company does between
$50, 900 and S75 600 in business every
year, but the trade for the last twelve
months has been considerably in ad.
vance of that amount. Among the
prominent manufacturers this Com
pany represents is the Erie City En-
gines and Boilers; Frick & Co., En-
giues; Oliver. Childc 4 Co., plows,
and other leading machinery manufac-
turerS.
A special bicycle department is run
in connection with this store. which
is under the management of Mr. W.
". Sullivan. The business in this
line has increased considerably during
the past season. The wheels handled
are Of the best make and have become
very popular since introduced in this
section by the Sullivans.
The firm occupies two large store.
rooms, one on the Public Square and
the other just in the rear of this, fac
ing Church street. The buildings are
both two stories high, and completely
filled with hardware. \ large ware
house has been built for the engines
and boilers, from three to five car
loads being carried in stock all the
time
The members of the firm of the Sui
Ivan Hardware Company arc Messrs.
James NJ Sullivan, n. B. Sullivan and
G. S. Sullivan, all Of whom are broth
ers. They are business men in every
sense of the word, and have long been
identified with the progress and well
fare of Anderson.
This firm has established wide
reputation and their goods arc consid-
cred the best on the market. One
feature is that the name of the firm is
stamped on every article sold where it
can be conveniently done. Their bus
mess has been increasing from year to
year. which is due to the superiority
of their goods and their honest deal
lngs with every customer with whom
they have to deal.
Mr.. j. NJ. Sullivan, the senior mem
Der of the firm, has just been elected
member of the Legislature for the
next two years.

sponsibility as a watch repairer.
Eight years later he added the mercan-
tile feature to his business, which in
creased year after year. Mr.. Hubbard
did not own dollar when he branch
ed out on his own responsibility, and
what he owns is the fruits of his own
labor. Very few men in any business
nowadays can say as much. 1t shows
what pluck and strict attention to bus
mess can do, and to Mr.. Hubbard it is
record that no man need be ashamed
of. Another record that he has made
in that time, and which, to some ex-
tent, is indicative of his success, is
that in the twenty-five years that he
has been in business in Anderson. he
has only missed about twenty-five days
during all that time. He was always
found at his post of duty, except when
he was kept away through dire neces-
sity He is also proud of the fact
that he is strcitly an Anderson man,
where he will always live and continue
his business.
Mr.. Hubbard place of business is
in the Chiquola Hotel block, and he
has one of the incest arranged store
rooms in the CITY, Every article kept
in stock is of the best quality, and his
stock is complete. Among the things
in stock are diamonds, watches, clocks,
silverware, fine French and japanese
china, fine lamps, vases, novelties, &c.
Special attention is given to the opti-
cal department, and all the latest ap-
p]iances are on hand for correctly fit
ing the glasses. This has been a great
help to those who are obliged to use
glasses. as they can be fitted up as
well in Anderson as anywhere else.
Another feature Of the business is the
fine line of engagement rings carried
in stock, both plain and set rings.
He has line to suit the most fastidi-
Gus, and it IS an easy matter for him
to please all classes and conditions of
customers.
John NJ. Hubbard is a business
man with strict attention to his own
affairs, whom the whole city honors
and respects.

borhood of 5000 bales. In 1895 he
closed contract with the Pelzer

son Cotton Mills, as buyer for both,
and during the season just closed

has this young man come to che front,
but not without due merit. He has
worked hard and kept himself true

On January 10Th, 1896, he married
Miss Eugenia Benson, one Of Ander-
sons most charming young ladies,

cations and courteous manners, have
won for him a host of warm personal
friends.

There are great many business
in this city who are doing much to
build up Anderson that have only
lived here for short time. 1t does
not take man long to become enthus-
ed with the progress of the city after
moving here, aud by their strict at
tention to their own duties soon begin
to make a respectable stand among the
old time leaders in the different classes
of enterprises.
Mr.. G. Fl. Pack, who is manager of
the firm of Freeman & Pack, has been
living in Anderson only since January
last, and the trade that he has estab-
lished is indicative Of his success as a
leader in business circles.
Mr.. Pack was born in Clarendon
County in 1859 and was raised on his
fathers farm. He spent most Of hi
early life in that country, and in ~ :
he moved to Greenville, where hn.e"~

this city was thrown upon MIR. Pack.

of furniture at prices ranging from
the lowest to the higher prices for the
finer grade of material. In the bed

article, they all being thrown open
and on the same footing. The store
on Main street is handsomely fitted
up. both the stories to the building
being crowded with the best class OF
goods.
Freeman & Pack have gained con-
siderable share of the furniture trade
in this section. and, by their court
cous attention to business and their
coustomers. have been able to increase
the volume of business a great deal.
They sell goods at the lowest possible
prices for cash. and on easy payments
where parties have not the money at
the time.
They are always clad to see their
friends at this store whether they

SULLIVAN HARDWARE co.

Anderson can boast of having the
largest hardware establishment in the
upper part of South Carolina. and an
examination of the Sullivan Hardware
Company store will prove this asser-
tion to be true. They have been in
the hardware business for fifteen
years, and during that time they have
been gradually increasing the amount
of business every year. They do a
iobbing and retail business, handle
implements, machinery and hardware;
by this is meant every article under
these heads.

at Pendleton, among them being that
of Miss Mary Hunter, a noted teacher

graduated from West Point in the
same class with Sherman and Grant.
My Taylor has one child, David S.
Taylor. who is now about seventeen
years of age.
When he left the farm Mr.. Taylor
was considerably involved, owing to
reverses of fortune, but after working
several years for salary he began a
small business for himself under the
firm name of 4. W. Taylor & Co., and
later as Taylor & Crayton, but at the
present time he is in business alone.
By close attention to his work he has
accumulated competency, and carries
