Pickens. R D 2 As there seems to be so much -onfusion in the town of Pick mns--and not the town only, but bhe entire county-I thought I wvould write a few words, if you would publish them. Every where you go the peo ple say, " "What about the Pick ems trouble?" Now, Mr. Editor and readers, there is somebody in error. While I will not try to say who the parties are, it seeTms that the fire was kindled about I r severe whippig of a student by one of the teachers in the 311001. Now, if the child was whipped Is the S.-J. gives it, it is a. shiame on a teacher to discipline L student as keenlv with the rod as the report has it; and the 'onduct of the teacher will re Act sooner or later. And if hIe litor of the S.-J. in vivilng -16 hie publiC. am outll of the )ai lafge(aate , s to details, .nd did not do justico to the b)oard of trustees, then that is bad for the public to be misin rormed by the editorii:al i the TouRNAL, ant the colduct of ie editor will react sure. And if the business men of ;he town of Pickens have')ovcot ed the S.-J. and taken their )usiness ads. out of the paper ~vithout a full knowvledge of the fact that the S. -J. editor was in rror, I think their action was anwise, and their action will re xct as sure as5 the world stand~s. Now, to the people of Pickens zounty, and all concerned in the welfare of edlucation, and all business of the people:-I ask all that have had anything to dlo with this trouble to just think a moment and ask yourself the rquestion, ''Have I (lone unto athiers as I would have them do to me?"' And if you find you have niot, and see where you have failed, just make it right, and the whole matter w;ill be adjusted and everything will he right. I[ wish the school success, and the JOURNA L editor success, and the business men of the town mapeed Svrlthings have apndthat seem to me not altogether' true -Ame(rican. WTith best wishes for all. D. E. GAnntErr. Pickens, R. D. 1. The weather has been very b~ad -.Ior f~arm work for the last. few days, but if nothing hap pens everything will be all right for the farmers, for they work like busy bees. Mrs. D. E. Hendricks, *of this section, who fell some time ago and broke her arni, is getting along as w~ell as could be ex pected. Cleve Davis and Eid. Harris ~pent~ last Saturday and Sun day with Will Freeman, of -this section. The boys had a fine. uJm. D. E. Hendricks, who has been on the sick-list for some time, is not any better at this writing. Mr. Editor, how many of your correspondents are chiceron cranks? I am for one. i - 1 have never had anythin;: with the business, for I be like the little boy was when the old gentleman asked him if his i otlier raised much poultry. He replied that she planted a, right smart, but the chickens scratched it up. So I might plant chicken seed and the poul try might scratch them up. I thinlik Pickens must be on a boom. She is going to have two newspapers soon. One of thei, the Pickens News, is be ing published at Greenville for the present. The nierchants . seem to have found out the bei efit of their ads in the SENTINRL JornNAL at last by using their influence to get a new paper started. They also seem to have a real spite at the S.-I. for good. But I think the old pa per has the svmipathy of a good many country people. So hoping for the success of the S.-J. and its editor, I will ring off.. STONEwA.. It's a Pretty Good Plan to Forget It.
