Mr.. L. Seybt. dealer in dry goods,
notions, shoes, millinery and other
articles of that trade, was born at
CokpSbury, Abbeville County, June
4, 1861. He spent his early life at
that place attending the country
schools and learning to some extent
the business which he was to follow.
In 1881 he came to Anderson and Sc
cured position with W. \. Chapman
and remained with him for six years.
During that time his work was of the
best kind and he gave perfect salts
faction. He also gained considerable
experience in this line, and when he
left was master Of his trade.
In February, 1888, Nlr. Seybt went
into the firm of Crayton. Jones & Seybt
and remained in that partnership for
some time, but at the present time is
in business by himself. He has by
hard work built upa large trade and
won the confidence and respect of the
people in and around Anderson. He
has always made it a point to give his
customers the very best goods for the
smallest amount of money. and by
honest dealings coupled to this he has
amassed considerable business in this
section.
Mr.. Scbyt carries general stock of
dry goods. notions, shoes, carpets, rugs,
and in fact everything that one could
call for in an establishment of this
kind The millinery department is
complete and is presided over by
competent ladies', who throughly un-
derstand that business.
In the spring ard fall of each year
this department is exceedingly popular
with the ladies of Anderson and the
surrounding towns. He frequently
gets mail orders from distant towns
for goods, and none of these have ever
been known to come back to him. All
who have had dealings at this store
know that when Mr.. Scybt recon-
mcnds an article to be first class that
it certainly will be found to be just
like he said it was.
He carries big line of ladies fine
shoes, of ali styles and makes, and
these 60 at rock bottom prices. Mr..
Seybt goes to the Northern markets
himself and buys such goods as he
knows will suit the Anderson people.
He pays cash and gets some fine bar
gains in this way, and is therefore en-
abled> to offer special inducements to
his customers. He is fine judge of
dress goods, and the other things he
keeps in stock.

There is one man in Anderson who
runs truck farm in Florida and sells
his own goods. Everybody knows
that Mr.. James +. FAINT sells the finest
fruits that can be found anywhere,
but all of them do not know that his
fine oranges are raised Oh his own
farm.
Mr.. FAINT was born in Marion Coun-
ty, Florida, in 1866. He is the son
of Mr.. Valentine FAINT, who moved
from Anderson county to Florida just
before the war Young FAINT spent
his early life in Florida, and, in fact,
remained there until 1889, when he
came to Anderson. He had been in
business for long time before leav-
ing Florida, and had been very sue
cessful. Since opening bnusiness in
this city he has met with even great
er success than he did in Florida.
What he has made here has been by
hard work.
Mr.. FAINT handles large supply of
fruits and vegetables shipped mostly
from his plantation He carries Il
nice line of confectioncries, tobacco,
cigars and family groceries. lie also
handles fish and oysters in season.
He is agentf for the Anderson Ice Com,
pany and sells great deal of ice dur
Ing the summer months.
Mr.. Fants owns Il fine plantation in
Marion county, Florida, and runs an
extensive truck farm and orange
grove. The stuff that he keeps here
is shipped from his farm, and by that
means Mr.. FAINT knows that he gets
the best on the market. He does
both Wholesale and retail business
in oranges, the grove in Florida
bringing in to him large returns every
year. Mr.. FAINT enjoys large and lu-
crativc trade in this city, where, by
close attention to the wants OF the
people, he has won Il ma jOr share OF
the fruit and confectionery trade. tic

Mr.. FAINT was married in 1883 to
Miss Essic Sassard, Of Florida: and is

Mr. James Albert Brock, President
of he Bank Of Anderson, was the
second son of the late MIR. - Brock,
and was born at Honea Path, in this
county. He received his early educa-
tion and training at the schoolsin this
State and made rapid advances in
every department. ut an carl V age
he embarked into the mercantile busi-
ness, and his first venture proved a
great success. Some time later, how
ever, he was offered the position of
Auditor of the Columbia & Greenville
Railroad, now branch of the South
ern system, and held that Office for
some time, proving to be cmincntly
qualified for all the duties connected
with that position. At that time the
road was not on very firm basis
financially, and much Of the credit Of
it's later snccess is due to the unfailing
labors of Mr.. Brock.
When the National Bank of Ander-
son was organized. in 1872, MIR. Brock
was unanimously elected cashier,
which was his first work in a bank.
Under his able management, this in
stitution had remarkable success,
attaining third rank among the banks
of the South as to book value of it's
stock. Mr.. Brock continued in the
office of cashier until the bank went
into voluntary liquidation in 1891,
when he was unanimously elected
President and still holds that position.
He is also Presiden5 of the Ander-
son Cotton Mills and Of the Anderson
Oil and Fertilizer Company. He is
connected with almost every enterprise
in the city of Anderson. and is di
rector of the Port Royal and Western
Carolina Railway company.
Few men have had a brighter career,
and which, too, was based on their
own merits, than j. A. Brock. He
began life as merchant on very
small scale, but by his close attention
to business and his fine business
qualities, he rapidly forged himself to
the front, and in this respect to-day is
one of the leaders in South Carolina.
His business career has been marked
with unusual activity and success,
and his life characterized by integrity
and usefulness in prominent degree,
in every sphere of duty-his church:
of which he is an active and official
member, not excepted.
Mr.. Brock has won for himself the
confidence and esteem of every citizen
of Anderson, and no man has taken
more interest in the welfare and up
building of the city than himself.
This has been one of the means of his
great success, and what he has done
has been without any outside help.

finest drug establishment in the city.
Mr.. Evans was born in 1868 in An
derson, and in 1883 he entered the
drug business as a clerk for Orr 4
Sloan. He was a small lad at this
time, but it was not very long before
he was rapidly progressing and win
ming the confidence and esteem of
those for whom he worked. Mr..
Evans remained with Orr & Sloan un-
til 1893, when the Evans Pharmacy
was established. DIR. j. {. Harris
and Mr.. j. NJ. Evans constitute the
remaining members of the firm. j
NJ. Evans entered the drug store of
MessrS. Orr & Sloan in 1889 and re-
maincd there until the present firm
was established
George Evans was given license by
the State Board of Medical Examiners
in 1887. 1t was said at that time that
he passed one of the best eXamina-
ton that that body had ever seen.
The Evans Pharmacy is located in
the Hotel Chiquola block. at one Of
the most desirable stands in the city.
1t is handsomely fitted up with all the
modern cnnvenicnccS SuSed in the drug
eist's line and by close attention to
business the firm has been able to
command very large share of the
trade in the city. Besides, the many
small towns around Anderson are sup
piled to great extent from this
house. This is a proof that the prices
charged for goods are very low, as the
druggists in this section can buy from
the Pharmacy and then sell with a
| reasonable profit to themselves.
Strict attention is given to the drug
trade. Every article purchased in
this line is of the best quality and al
ways guaranteed Inks, oils, varniSh-
es, cigars and tobacco are kept in
large quantities. and the sales Of these
during year amounts to great deal :
They make a specially of prescripaa
tons, Mr.. Evans, who has had con-
siderable experience in this line, per.
sonally experimenting the work.
The store inside, as well as on the
exterior, is one Of the most handsome
in the city. 1t is kept in splendid
condition. and is great resort for la
dies in the summer months who want
the very best cold drinks from their
magnificent fountain. This depart
mcnt receives much attention, and the
drinks at the Evan Pharmacy are very
popular all over the city.

Mr.. Hubbard was awarded the con-
tract to furnish all Of the sllvelware

Mr.. C. S. Minor, Of the firm of c.
S. Minor &; Co., was born in Hancock
County, Ga, in 1864. He lived on a
farm until he was It, when, with his
fathers family, he moved to Milledge-
Vile, attending the schools and grad
uated from the Middle Georgia Agri-
cultural College: a department of the
State University, in 1887, receiving a
medal for oratory and one for scholar
ship. He afterwards taught school in
Georgia, and then travelled for tomb
stone house. Later he was connected
with the firm of Wood & Co., of Gads-
den, Ala, and in 1889 moved to An
derson, where he has been in active
business ever since.
Mr.. Minor began business in this
city on small scale, selling nothing
higher than ten cents, and conducting
his affairs on the plan of one price
and short profits. The demand for the
higher priced goods compelled him to
add this feature, which increased the
volume of his trade. He has now
nearly everything in stock, which is
estimated at S25, 900. His stand on
the South side of the Public Square,
occupies three floors, and every bit of
space in his establishment is filled.
Mr.. Minor makes speciality of glass
ware, tinware, crockery, jewelry, no
tions and novelties. He also carries
dry goods, wooden and willow ware,
and splendid assortment of house
hold hardware. In the last two or
three years he has done considerable
Wholesale business, selling to the
merchants near this city. This de-
partmcnt of his establishment is rap
idly growing.
One of the clements of Mr.. Minors
success has been the treating of every
customer alike, and always has the
same things that he advertiscs.
Mr.. Minor success has been phc-
nomcnal Nine years ago he left col
lege pcnniless and in debt, but with
stiff backbone and lots of pluck and
patience he has pushed his business
during that time with Il v!m seldom
exhibited and never surpassed. His
motto has been never to allow the
business to push him but to push the
business. He never acts on the de-
fcnsive but invariably on the offensive.
Another of his mottos is to undcrbuy
and to underscll, "and hcw to the
line, letting the chips fall where they
may
Mr.. Minor buys everything on an
extensive scale. such as one hundred
dozen brooms. 80 cases of lamp chin
ncys. &c. He makes big contracts
far ahead, which is Il big risk, but by
this means he manages to get goods
at much lower rate than otherwise.
Quick sales and small profits has been
the one reason of his great success,
and to day Mr.. Minor does one of the
largest and most profitable business
in the city of Anderson.
