Entered at Piakens Fostoflee as Second 0lass Mail Matter PICKENS, S. C.: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1908. To Sentinel-Journal Subscribers. Under a recent ruling of the Postal Department newpapers are now only. permitted to be sent to subscribers through the mails for a limited period unless paid for In advance, and the publisher who violates this order lays himself liable to being ar rained before a U. S. court and punished, the same as any other aw-breaker. Now, the Sentinel-Journal has carried over many of Its subscri bers to the utmost time limit al lowed by law. , We have done this because we knew our far mers had no money to spare be fore their crops matured, and it pains us indeed to drop from our list names of parties who have proved such true and loyal frionds as the masses of the peo-I ple of Pickens county showed I themselves to be the Sentinel Journal and its editor, Our cit-. izens generally, and our country people especlalj, have noblv stood by s whel wC1nostneed ed friends ;Id q Jullpii f l.

To individual subscribers it, is . small outlay, but when these lit tie ;ecounts are brought togeth e'r it me&anls independence and proerity to the printer. Of course none of our good friends want the proprietor of the -Sentinel-Journal to plac'e himself liable to prosecution, but thisi. just. what we shall do If we continue to mail our paper-t.i those in arrears.s We- - do not want to lose a single one of our old .pptrons, but ask~ them to go to .work for us and get all pf theWf kindi-ed and nieighbors t likewisesiubscribe. Wermean hbusiness-this is our last-call, -and nO bluff. We shali proceed to make a canvas df the county, with .borse and buggy, and, try and see our every pat ron and give them an.opportu~nI ty to settle old scores and r anew. 'Then ,the pruning-knife will sure'y be used on our list and evei-y nanme erased not paid in advance.' Plckens and its Surroundings. One day last wveek my esteem ed friend Hon. Julius Bogga took me on a drive over PIckens and .out into the county a few miles, that I mi.ght see the town and take in.some of the sublime News for which this sectioni Is famous. Since smy childhood days I have heard about this beautiful town and.county-the hospitality of its people and the gi'andeur of its mountain chain. But after. a week's sojourn in Pickens I can truly exclaim that the half has not been told. I have seen neai'ly every sec tion of our country except the Pacific slope, and I do assert that ;there is nothing eatst .of. the Rocky Mounttains that can com ,ar e with this county; and were 1belt of territo tr nsported to the Old Wo1 tJousands '.N uld cross the At oI to look pon, these sce'net 6f0fty and ye4Zspiring; gv1 , at dli 0 4. Orat Weop umes r ra U rlsts.~ AcnI0 Ug o "the elevations rrouing wn it is seen that P14 us 4-s ted in'the center of 4n'ampit We formed of M tipuous n tain chain, co ecing at the knobs below the Southern rAil way,circling arourid so as to em brace the Pinnacle, the highest elevation in our state, and then bending again,'outhward with an extended chain linked togeth er, completing the girdle at Boggs mountain. And - in the heart of the gigaitic basin thus formed is located the lovely little 'city of Pickens, embowered in a grove of forest trees, among which meander crystal streams, and its num -us heights crown ed with cos- 2ottages and impo sing homes, many of which would do credit to the residence section of any great city. And not only is Pickens one of the most delightful places t of , resi dences on the face of our globe, b5ut it is the gateway through which a mountain trade, exten ding far; back into Western North arojina,.must pass. But I am wadering from my subject, for when one attempts todescribe this beautiful -and romantic section his ,pen runs wild. Mr. Boggs contends that this vast basin, rimmed with mountains, was doubtless,, in pre-historic times, a vast inland lake, but during some convul sion of nature a chasm and out let was rent in the barrier at Ca teechee, and through which its waters were permitted to escape, leaving one of the most charm ing spots of land in our state. To confirm Mr. Boggs' theory, beds of water-worn p6bblessare found throughout this basin. T. L. G. Home-Made Silverware. At the jickeni Diug Co.'s, moiig ther i4play of Christ. inas goods, is a case filled with :luadruple-plated siver..v.r 3, mnd which we - were surprised aind gratifted tO learn was uin UL4a10tird In our ow\n state, at HaitOv)lle hi Martboro county by theO E Fdstern Carolihia 4iW Co., a corporpation with al hives ted .capital of $1,250..000. The workmanship an Anishings in every respect etal to the finest goods made. Every article is guaraiteed, and the trade-mark is a Palmetto tree stamped on the bottom.' Every. article ii the line of silverware is there made, and being guaranteed a quadruple-plate is Wlmost as last ing. as the solid stuff. Those of our citizens who Aesire to send some friend a holiday gift could not select anything more suita ble and acceptable than a piece of this lovely -silverware, inclo sing this little clipping from the Sen.tinel-Jouirnal, to show what the old Palhetto State. is doing in the line,of 'new manufactur ing enterprises. Jewelers have tested these goods and pronounce them in every way superior to the celebrated Rogers make. This is not an advertisement, but a merited tribute to Progessi,ve South Carlia. -Call at the Pick ens 'Drug Co.'s and see these new goods an4i you will be proud of your old state.

The weather for tie Prst few days ha cqrtainly been delight ful, and farmers have been making good use of the same gathering the'remainder of their orops, sowing wheat, turning stubble, etc.' Sow rmore small grain, plant iorecorn and less cotton is our advice. Corn $1 a bushel at this season of the year, bacon 12*@18c and cotton 9c ought to be a lesson to every farmer. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Garrett, of Norris, left on the 12th inst. for Haskell, Texas, to visit Mrs. G. 's brother, J. B. Tompkins. Mr. Tompkins acted as overseer on Judge Ferguson'a farm, two miles above Pickens, some 30 years ago. He went to Texas, where he has accumulated a fortune. Major Welborn, son of Judge Welborn, is now standing be hind the counter at J. C. Gar rett & Son's store. Major is a good fellow,- and has made many friends on this side of the county. Ed. Ferguson the boss weaver at the Norris mills, has resigned, and - Beaty, of Greenville, now occupiesthe position. Miss Janie Bradley, a charm ing young lady of Greenville, visited her sister, Miss Mattie Maddox, of Norris, last week. W. W. McWhorter, of Pick ens, visited his son, E. C., last week. "Billy" is holding his own well; age 'don't seem to be telling ou him very much. G. F. Norris imade a business trip to Greenville on day lastl wveek.

Manythanks to "Uncle Zeke" for a copy of his paper. We iipu hu wiiievil.ctinuue to sena it, and we will give him all the dots we can. We found the paper full of n6ws, and reads just like "Uncle. Zeke" talks. The business men of Forest City evidently believe in printei's ink, for they i patronize- the paper freely. The many friends of Col. T. C. Robinson were grieved to learn -of his death, which occurred at his late residence Sunday morn ing, 22d Inst., at 1 o'clock. Mr. Robinson was 53 years old. He had been twice married. His first wife was Miss Elah Clay ton. Six living children--Bai ley, of Pickens; Christie, of Houston, Tex.; Jay, of Atlanta; Mrs. Eva Smith, of Easley; Son ley 'and Miss May, of Noriis all of wvhom, except Christie, were at his bedside when the end came. Mr. Robinson was a graduate of Wofford College. He practiced law at the Pickens bar for a number..of- years, and served as county superintendent of education for four years.' He ran for state superintendent of education and came within a few votes of being elected. He' filled the office of magistrate at Pickens for several years. As editor of the People's Journal at Pickens for several years he proved himself an Abile writer, always advocating what he be lieved to be for the best interests of his country. Ho wits a kind hearted mani, always ready to help those in need. H~e was a meniber of the Liberty Method 1st church. After he, married the second time (his second wife' was Miss Carrie Hunt, of Green ville), he moved to his farm near Norris and devoted his time to farming and merchandising. In April, 1907, his secon wife was killed near Norris by A.tree fail ing on her. Mr. Rbinson then quit~ the mercantile business and devoted his time to his farm. The funeral ser.yices were held at his lat'e residence the Monday following his death, conducted' by Ret. Jones of -Easley, afte~r which his remains were.carried to the Libertl cj. rnetery 4l .laid to rest by thie side l ARAIN $AJ ES Do you ever a tafd thi Do ypu ever get bit?
