Nov'. 211 We read an article in the Sentinel a few weeks ago, written by Mr. J. T. Taylor nmanaillger of the Pickens Railroad Company, that should be given serious consideration in our opinion, not only by the merchants in Pickens, but also by every business man in Piekens, and every farnier in this immediate section. There is more truth than poetry in what Mr. Taylor had to say about the Pickens Railroad. A railroad is like any other business enterprise, unless they do business to at least make expenses, there is clothing left for them but to go out of business. A great deal of freight for the past year or so has been brought to Pickens pn trucks, which has cut the Pickens Railroad Company out of quite a lot of busi ness. Some nerchants might figure that they can have their freight de livered cheaper by truck than over the railroad, this may be true on small packages, but what are you go ing to do about coal, fertilizer and several ether items that cannot be handle:l by trucks, if you didn't have the railroad. Just figure for a min ute .iust what effect the.Plickens Rail. riid closipg down would have on every business in Pickens, and on every farm in this section. This road Was finished in 1898, an(] we very well vemember conditions existing in this towun before that time. There were several merdiants here doing business, I- agood, Bruce & Company, W. T. McFall, A. M. :Morris, and a few others. Uncle Mike Kennwmore and Peter Hagood hauled nost of the merchandise from Easley that was sold in Pickens. The merchants in business here at that time made a living, but they would tell you it was just a little inconveni. ent. The farnmers in those days who use~d fertilizer had to haul if from Easley or I,ibr''ity. WVe (0 not know anythin. ahout the financial standing of the Pickens Railroad Comnpany for it is not our husiness to know, but as Mr. 'Taylor has sounded a note of warning, we just wished to express our views on that matter.. As far as we are con cerned about the welfare of this road, we have instructed every wholesale house of whom we buy goods, to ship these goods by freight. If they are sent to us by truck they will be returned. What does a few cents (literence in the charges amount to when as vital a problem as our rail road's existence im ight stand in ieopardy, when it has made our little town what it is today. Patronize The Pickens Railroad, ride when you can, and have every thi ing you use shipped over it, eut out the trucks, for it might pay you in the long run. A Pickens Merchant For over twenty years.

By the time this appears in print und reaches the majority of the read ers of this paper it will be Thursday, Nov.- 24, the day set apart by the chief executive of these United States to return thanks to our lives and blessing us in many ways during the rear. Now on that day let each and every person who may read this stop and think .just how many persons they an remember who have died since last Thanksgiving and the:1 how many you can remember who have had some kind of misfortune during the year. After doing this then stop and think and ask yourself the question; Have I been as thankful to my creator as I should .have been ? lie who has kept watch over me, spared ily life nd provided for me1 day after day wvhile I have been going through life as unmindful as a hog which eats and never looks up from whence it comes. While no doubt my door neighbor has )een taken, or maybe some of his loved ones. I have been spared and ;o have my loved ones, yet I have leglected to return thanks for these lessings and lerd a life as I should end while I have been seeing the learse pass my door I never have for (Ie time stopped to think who 1las kept it fronm stopping at my gate.
