Lancaster j. II typical South
Carolina town; it has n sturdy and
loyal population of Carollnians, is
of ancient and honorable lineage,
and its business houses, banks,
factories, homes, educational and
religious institutions are safe, pro.
gressive, we'll ordered and are Of
permanence and worth. New
homes are being built around
those which are about one hun
dred years old; the business hous-
es are altogether of brick; bank,
hotel, graded school and church
buildings are all we'll adapted to
their needs, and one of the best
built cotton factories in South
Carolina has been quietly added to
the growth of Lancaster. About
/ 5000 people are here, railroads,
telegraph and telephone facilities
arc all in use, 10. 900 bales Of cot
ton are the annual receipts in this
line, and what follows in this nee
cssarily condensed sketch willshow
that Lancaster men and women
have done good work for good
town.
You Immediately get II good
impression of Lancaster when YOU
stopat Cunningham $ Home Hotel,
and these good impressions Increase
with your knowledge OF the town
and Of the hotel. Mr. T X Gun
ningham, proprietor of :his house,
keeps thoroughly good hotel.
He understands his business and
attends 80 that which he under
stands. He has large annex
containing eight rooms and his
rooms are all carpctcd and well
furnished. Mr. Cunningham has
game preserves, and birds are
here plentiful. Northern hunters
come here for this sport, and
kennels are provided for the dogs.
At this hotel, in addition to good
fare Mr. Cunningham has a pretty
phaeton for the free use of his
guests. The opr6ptetor of this
hotel is thoroughly attentive to
the wants of'ifis' GUESTS and he is

LANCASTER BUSINESS MEN.

LANCASTER BUSINESS MEN.
1t may not be known that Ian
caster numbers among her mer-
chants some Of the largest inter
ior business men of South Caro-
Ina. This is a fact, however, and
is one that is easily proven.
Messrs T NJ Fitzpatrick & Bro,
have three stores here, each of
which is 11Ox25 feet. They have
large stocks of fine dress and dry
goods, groceries and furniture,
they employ nineteen men and,
they do the business. They start
ed here in very moderate way,
seventeen years ago, with very
little capital, but they have de-
monstratcd that they had business
ability. They had no easy time
overcoming difficulties, but their
annual business now amounts to
over 800, 900 and it is admirably
managed ardis llourishing. These
gentlemen are large planters too,
one of their farms alone comprising
600 acres of fine land on the
Catawba River. This firm is com.
posed of two brothers, T VI and
j II Fitzpatrick, and they came
to Lancaster Il years ago from
Washington, Wilkes county, Ga.
They also have two stores at Kcr-
shaw. They are men of ability
and energy and South Carolina
would welcome more such Geor-
gion representatives.
Another lively, go-head, money
making firm here is that which
was organized by Mr. William
Ganson. Two arc now here-tbe
firm of William Ganson and the
Ganson Dry Goods Company.
This business is well known as n
large and hourishing one and it is
80 because business ability and
worth made it so. Mr. Ganson
established this business here 10
years ago with Mimnaugh, the
wcll-known "big' merchant of
Columbia. This Scotch Irish com
hination succeeded and now Mr.
Ganson Is the proprietor. He
does "nct spot cash business"
and he does large business. Mr.
Ganson is fine merchant, is q
man of great ability and has proven
his worth by an honored career.
He is. a native ScQtchman, born
near John 'Q'Groats, and in .his
up-country South Carolina" homie
he has many. reminders of the
Grampian Hills, of Bonnie Dozen
and Ayr. and ofthes Draw breezes

things in no small style. They
are large merchants large cotton

work of the spindles, which allow
very much larger loom capacity
than if they wee only operated
for twelve hours. The mill build
ing is fine brick structure. four
stories high, 50 by 311 feet. Ten
to twelve bales of cotton are con.
sumed daily, fine sheetings and
convertible cloths are manufacture
ed, and orders, sales and earnings
are now, and have always been,
satisfactory. The very finest
mechanical plant is in use. The
genuine G H Corlis compound
condensing engine, 400 horse
power, is here. Tales & Jenk's
spinners and Knowles's loom are
used, and the Sturtevant hot air
and ventillating system adds to
the general excellence of this
equipment. Automatic sprinklers
and electric lights are a speciality
also, and the brick warehouses
are furnished with the dry air sys-
tenn. The advantage here is that
there is no freezing water, and
only two or three of this latest in
vention are found in the south.
One hundred acres of land are
owned by this company, and they
now have scvcnty-thrcc houses for
/ operators, all of which a:c well
and substantially built, are nicely
finished apd painted. Side tracks
from both railroads run to the
mill, and 81, 800 is the monthly
pay roll. Mr. Leroy Springs is
the president of this mill. Mr..
Waddy G Thomson is secretary
and treasurer, and Mr. G.. b Skip
per is superintendent. Thorough
business management has marked
the establishment of this mill.
VIII ch is decidedly one Of the best
built and finest equipped cotton
mills in South Carolina. Orders
sales and earnings are satisfactory
and its reputation is steadily grow o
inc. The directors are M.ssrs.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
How badness begins.
How to prevent it.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
of age and is q serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant In the
soil. If plant fourishes, it must have
constant attention; it must be wateredi
where it is rooted It's SO with the hair
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
6ciently nourished, begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such a case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishmeut to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength,
and so produce a strong and healthy
growth. All this is done by DIR. Ayers
Hair Vigor, the most practical and valua-
Bile preparation for the hair that can be
obtained. 1t tones up the scalp, does away
with dandruf, stops the hair from falling,
restores the original color to gray or faded
