PICENSTHEPAPER OF PCKENS "OF THE FOOTHILLS .CUT A NEWSPAPER WITH A CONSCIENCE VOLUME 5S2-CUMBERI11 5 PJULY6S1922SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 A YEAR .PICKENS MAY GET ANOTHEI COTTON MILL Iuke Interests Will Be Offered In ducenents to Build New Mill Here Reliable information from Nevi York last week stated that the J. B Duke interests have about perfecter plans for building a string of cottor mills in the South and would spenr about $50,000,000 in the project. Th< mills will undoubtedly be built wher they may be reached by the Southerr Power Co. which is owned by th( Duke interests. It is believed here that the towr of Pickens stands a good chance t( get one of these new mills. Certainly Pickens is a most favorable location for such an enterprise. Pickens can offer several fine loca tions at unusually low prices. Our pure and plentiful water sup ply, natural drainage and fine health conditions would no doubt receive the most favorable consideration. But probably the biggest factor in A' our favor is the plentiful supply of native white labor of the very best type which Pickens county has to offcr. That the class of labor Pick ens county has to offer is the best in the world has been amply proved. Pickens people would also subscribe liberally to the stock of the mill if asked to (1o so. Another large cotton mill for Pick ens would mean great things for the town and cntire upper section of the county. The Sentinel suggests that the loc.al chamber of commerce call a mass 4 meeting of citizens to discuss the mat ter and bring the advantages offered here to the attention of the Duke in terests. With another cotton mill, a South ern Power Co. line, a railroad to Jo cassee, the trans-niountain highway and good roads radiating in every dircetic.::; Pickens wcult soon develop 4 into the city it ought to be.

A survey 's now be ing made of the five and a half miles of the road from the Pickens county line to Rosman, N. C. Worthy of the Pen of James Fenimore Cooper Erskine Dalle= Pioneer By JOHN FOX, JR. Distinctly a Cooper character is this highly interesting fron.. tiersman-trapper,bhunter,guide, soldier-in whose veins flowed the undiluted blood of Vir ginia's proudest, but whose boy hood had been spent entirely among the Indians. Erskine Dale spoke a little French, less English, but was fluent in the Shawnee dialect when fate called him back to the home of his ancestors. We witness a surprising unfoldment of the character and ability that had been submerged by his savage training. He speed ily became more than a match for the gallants of the time Colonial~days -in every sort of contest, even to the winning of hearts. It is a stirring tale of romance and adventure in pioneer times, especially commended by its fine patriotism. It Will Appear Serially The Pickens Sentinel A LETTER FROM A. B.

The object is to keep the cotton thoroughly (lust( d until the Weevils are under control. This may require a varying number of apoliettions ot poisionI, depending on the season, and ether conditions. If weevils should become sufficiently numerous to sev crely :lljur the young bolls, one or two more applications late in the season shouldl be made.
