cd in splendid sytle in the Industrial
edition of the Columbia State, which
made its appearance yesterday. Some
weeks ago Albert ID; Oliphant of the
State staff was sent to Anderson to
secure Information regarding this
city's natural resources and advan-
tages and evidently he was much inn
pressed with this city.

Anderson's handsome homes and bus
mess buildings, the article appeared
as follows:

many different lines of endeavor. One
of the chief assets OF this enterpris-
| ing city is the spirit or corporation

for civic betterment. There hav
been numberless instances of the ef
fleet of this spirit, and Anderson to-
day is monument to corporation
Tho city never leaves well enough
one when there is anything bette
In sight which can be attained by en-
torprise and initiative.
