Satered at PIcken FstoCe as Second Class Mail Matter PICKENS, S. C. .THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 23. 1909, Another Domiant to the Pole There still seems to be consid erable doubt as to who discov ered the North Pole. Dr. Cook claims he is the genuine article and Commander Peary says that Cook is an impostor, and that he is the only white man that ever reached the famous point. Dr. James L. Bolt of this city, believes that Dr. Cook is the real explorer, not merely because he is a physician, but as Dr. Bolt states, no one but a physician could take .the exact temperature of the pole, and he is satisfied Dr. Cook discover ed the North Pole becase there has been no evidence submitted to show where the pole cont-ined the slightest symptons of fever. But Dr. Bolt like a great many others-patriotic and true American citizens-interested in science, decided th-tt the best way to rid one's mind of any doubt would be by making a personal trip to the litigated point, and immediately harness ed up his faithful old horse "Jim" and started in pursuit of the Big Stick. Dr. bolt received the follow ing wireless: "Dr. J. L. Bolt; "North Pole-Glassy Mount ain, S. C. "Congratulations. I am shy a bailiff's staff. Please bring piece of pole large enough for same. R. R.'Roark, Sheriff, Pickens County". Dr. Bolt, after an absence of several days, returned to Pick ens, with the following state ment: "1 have discovered the pole myself, and I want to refute Commander Peary's statement that he is the only white man that has ever reached the pole, because when I got there I found Claud Hester, with a pack of hounds watching a possum perched on the end of the pole, and when he saw me he wanted to know whether the Pickens Railroad had made a change in their schedule, because he had been waiting on a train for five hours." Dr. Bolt says he dis covered the pole with a thermo meter and a prohibition flag. He inquired of Claud whether he had come across the much discussed American flag, and Claud said he saw a flag there but could not say who put it there, and when Dr. Bolt ques tioned Claud as to what disposi jtion he made of same, Claud informed him that he had one hound .'of foriegn extraction in the pack and in order to retain harmonious relationship with the others who were American born, he naturalized the hound -a.f foreign extraction by making himu eat the American FIaer. Since Dr. B's. return to Pick ens his time has been so much engaged in preparing himself to Conlsine the world and Pickens that he is the real and genuine discoverer-.that he has not been able to talk at length to his friends. Dr. J. L. Bolt: North Pole Hotel: How mnuch land could you spare for building lots? J. F. Harris. Dr. Bolt informed the State Dept. of his marvellous succes, and to know what disposition, should be made of the Pole. Dr. 3. L. Bolt, North Pole Arsenal. Congratulations. We have no title in the Pole. It is yours. W. H. Taft. Since the receipt of the Presi dent's wireless Dr. Bolt seeim to think it would be impruder to let the Pole remain there lb cause some one may molest and therefore he is getting u i-to go and help him b aun isi; to Pickens. S"amp-.;~ gentlemer & u do yUL winl Ay B. C inson, A. M. Morris, Bill Jeanes, Claud Hester, Dr. J. L. Valley, B. B. Laboon. i Claud Hester seems to think Dr. Bolt has made a mistake be cause he never saw any pole cats while there, and if he was E at the Pole there is no reason e why pole cats should not be P there. Claud is a member of sl the party however, and states, I that in his opinion the road by tl Glassy Mountain would be the shortest rout to same. Dr. Bolt cannot be convinced that Rocky Bottom is not the nearest route S to the pole. Claud says the I crops up there are very sorry due J to lack of sun and if a change J does not take place very sud denly the entire cotton crop will be gone. Anyone desiring a cool summer house should not hesitate to con-, a suit Dr. Bolt at once, because no i, doubt these lots will sell like hot cakes. As soon as Dr. Bolt S and his party returns a more de tailed article will be given. To My Friends and Customers. Having sold my drug business to Mr. R.
