Mr. and Mrs. A. J. W. Peek, - who have been spending some 3 time with the family of their " son, J. A. Peek, in Pickens, left Tuesday for Turnersville, Ga., .where they will spend a time with their daughter, .Mrs. Dr. W. C. Bryant, before returning to their home in Macon. Mr. and Mrs. Peek were delighted with our town and climate. They made many friends here who would be delighted to see "them become permanent citi zens of our town. R. R. Stephenson, manager of i the Pickens Brickyard, was in Pickens, Monday, from moving the plant to Richland, S. C., where"it will be located in the future. Tle firni of Bivens & Bruce, proprietors, have ac quired a body of land there on which the deposit of clay is very , and they expect to turn out as good a brick at that place as they did out of the Town Creek clay. Mr. Ste phenson -will continue to have charge of the 1usiness, and a mighty fine mlianlager he is, too. Here's hoping success in their new location. E. H. Gilliland, of Piedmont, was in Iickens last Saturday shaking hands with old friends, and, incidentally, settling for his "old home paper," which he says he could not do without. Mr. Gilliland for a number of years has lived near Piedmont, but has recently moved to the Dr. Richardson farm, near Slii loh church, in Anderson county. His address will still be Pied mont, R. F. D. 1. Last year he made 13 bales of cotton and 100 bushels of corn with one horse. This is a pretty good showing and lots of people could set their pegs for this kind of .showing in 1909. IAway back yonder, fifty or sixty years ago, there was a preacher living in this county, by the name of J. R. Hamlin. He was born and raised near Brevard, N. C., and married a daughter of Rev. Jonathan KIng, of the Six Mile section of this county. In 1869 Rev. Ham lin and family moved from this county to Missouri and settled. In the family was a son, who was 11 years 01(d the day after he started for his far-off home. This boy grew to mau hood andl made his mark in~ his adopted state, and four years ago was prevailed1 upon by his friends to run for congress on the Demo cratic ticket, which he did and was elected, and is now serving his second term. During the holidays he was an escort with the body of a Louisiana'senator to the burial in New Orleans, and on his way back he stopped off for a few days' visit to the scenes of his childhood. W. C. Hamlin, now of Springfield, Mo., and N. R. Kennemore, of the Kings section of this county, played together and went to school together around the'old SGates schoolhouse until they were parted by the one going 'way to a new home, where he has lived and prospere'd and is Srespected and loved by all who know him.' It was a joyous re , union by these cronies of for mer days. Mr. Hamlin's friends, . and,friends of the family, will r be glad to that time has tre ' and that n him.' The Legistatire met Tuesday. .e sure and meet Auditor N. A.'Christopher while, lie is out (n his rounds. It might save vou a trip to the court house. Rev. N. G. Ballinger filled his appointment at the Pickens Methodist church last Sunday morning, and delivered an ex cellent sermon to a large con gregation. T. D. Harris at all times is getting up bargains for his cus tomers, which he lets them know about through the col umns of this paper. Col. Wm. R. (Pete) Price, of the upper Oolenoy valley, was in Pickens Tuesday and reports everything quiet in his section,' and says the valley is now in a sober, flourishing and prosper ous condition. Freeman & Co. are through taking stock and have found a lot of odds and ends of staple goods, which they have thrown doWn on the bargain counter at a price that will move them. Watch for their ad. ne,xt week. W. C. Newton has recently gotten in a lot of nice mules and horses which he is anxious to dispose of at bargain prices for cash or good papers. He can be found at all times at the Richey stables in Pickens. Elbert Findcley, who has beel reading la w Solicitor Julius E. Boggs' office for some time, recently stood a most creditable examiniation, in Colt ubia, be fore the supreme cot i,nd was admitted to the b .1.O will very probably locat in Pickens. Here's hoping sic4ss for him, wherever lie may decide hang out. Chief Justice Pope having re signed from the Supreme Court, the name of Pickens county's hohored citizen and worthy son, Mr. James P. Carey is being mentioned as his successor, and our county would be truly proud of the honor conferred. A more worthy man could not be found. Here is hoping that he may be elected. J. F. Kown's hosts of friends in Pickens and elsewhere in the county will learn with a great deal of pleasure that lie has re cently passed a very creditable exam ination and was admitted to the practice of the law. For the present Mr. Kowni is in An derson visiting relatives, and has not yet fully decided where he will hang out his shingle. We wish him wvell wherever he may locate. A cutting scrape, which may yet prove serious, anid even fatal, occurred ini the Six Mile section last Sunday between John Roberts and Walter E. Pinson. It seems that Pinson, who had b)een to church at Six Mile andl w~as on his way home when he was hailed by Roberts, who is a brother-in-law, to stop and see a sick mule of his (Roberts'). As they reached the stable Roberts remarked to Pinson, "You 'have been talk ing about me." Pinson reflied, "If I have I will own it." Rob erts then made a rake at him with a knife, cutting 'a long gash in the back of Pinson' s head and down behind the ear and across the neck, narrowly issing the jugular vein. Pin son ran and Roberts pursued, stabbing him several times in the back, inflicting severe wounds. Il'rom the best information that c/an be gathered the attack was tupcalled for. It is to be hoped .ifaat no complications will arise and the wounds will soon heal.
