An Interesting Letter From Orcco!a. i
-- > I
Osceola, S. C., Aug. 14.
Editor Times: Illness and other
matters have so pressed upon
me that this letter has been unexpectedly
long-delayed.
After writing to you last spring
about the location of this village
and the trip made through this
section by George Washington,
suggestions from others caused
me to inquire about the roads. I
was under the impression that
the original Steele Creek road
was the present route (except
the part crossing Twelve-Mile
creek at a ford and traversed by
Washington) from Fort Mill by!
way of Doby's bridge, Belairand
Six-Mile church. On inquiring I
iind that Six-Mile church formerly
stood about one and a half
miles northeast of ifs present j
site on the road to Marvin as the
mail route now goes; that the
crossing of Twelve-Mile creek
was by ford at Miller', mill: that
the old road was separated from
the present one about half r ini.
east of Osceola and ran by the
presimt residence of T. W. Se-,
crest, Esq., and, crossing the
creek at Miller's mill, on nor'Inward
by the original Six-Mile:
church, then by J. W. Hall's ginnery
to Pleasant Valley. From i
there it seems that the road ran ;
back of Mr. Jan.js Bailes's,
crossing Shugaw creek at or near
Ward's old mill, and on old
Unity church. Some of ^^^inquiring
minds on your
route must attend to iu^p^r
location beyond Pleasant Vallev
and Ward's mill. This discovery
does not change the route traveled
by Washington, it only applies
to the location of the Steele
Creek road. But tradition further
states that Cornwall is, commanding
the British army, cut
out the old Washington road from
about the present site of SixMile
church southward to said
junction with the original Steele
Creek road, crossing the creek at
the Washington Ford. I suppose
Cornwallis found a neighborhood
trail and enlarged it. probably
finding the old the old read in
bad condition or the crossing of
the creek difficult. There is an
old graveyard ;?t the former location
of the church. The china h
was burned, nfter which ii v is
rebuilt?probably eighty or ninety
years ago. I am not positivd.N
informed as to that date, nor am
I sure of the reason for the
change of location; but it is fa
to presume that the Corneal lis
road had become a more pubiic
thoroughfare and that the heavier
numbers of membership resided
in such locations as to induce
removal.
-Our little city, composed of
twenty-seven whites and three
negros, is now doing some wood
and lumber business; the local
ginner is sharpening his gin preparatory
to putting the fleecy
ptaple on the market: the fisheries
are not remunerative by reason
of continued fullness of the
creek; lire smithv is auiotlv re
posing under its elm shade: the
R. R. agent is a woman?wife of
the man who pumps here and at
Rocky Creek, going back and
forth on tne train, and both are
assisted by a lovely 15-year-old
daughter; our only store lias been
pnlargod and is ready to treat
Customers "with more hostility":
and the weather continues to
make farmers look blue.
The county candidates beam
their circuit today by holding
forth at Belair: they are, like
Bill. Arp's wife and -children,
"numerous and interesting."
Only seven are offering for county
supervisor, which s.*oms to be
the place most sought after, although
the holder thereof gets
more "cussin" than any other
officer: but maybe he also gets
paid for that. There arc twenty-,
three performers in this circus:
all have plenty of associates in
their gymnastics except that the
candidate for probate judge floats '
through space on his lonely trapeze:
however, he does not seem
to grieve over, his loneliness. Tomorrow
they repeat their performance
at Van Wyck.
News is scarce as hen's teeth.
Cantaloupes are exhausted and

ICE,
The Southern Power Co.
Mr, C. S. Mens, a civil engi-']
neer in the employment of the
Southern Power Co., was in the
city Thursday afternoon for a '
few minutes. Mees talked inter
estingly of the work now being , I
done at the Falls. The entire j
surrounding country has undergone
a revolution, and it is des- (
tined to become a center of vast
commercial importance.
Mr. Mees says, and he is authority
on such subjects, that!
the plant at the Falls will be
second only to that at Niagara
when it is hnished. and next to
Niagara it will involve the least
expense for operating.
The full capacity of the plant
will bo about 40,000 horse power,
with probably a few thousand
additional in the way of secondary
current. Mr. Mees thinks
that Chester on account of her
position should be one of the
lirst to reap advantage from the j
Mammoth plant, though as soon
a? the dam is completed, the j
i.rst work to be 'lone will be to
string a line to the power house j
near Fori Mill. The plant will
not be entirely completed b\ the
first of the year, though at that
time there i- ?io doubt that the
company will he able a) hi! their
contract:' for the delivery of
power. Mi*, foees says that orders
are pouring ai with startling:
rapidity, and tin? company could
easily arrange to dispose of a
product twit ? .h great.
The following extract from
The Augusta < nronide will give
some additional light on this
interesting and important plant:
"Few people have any idea,"
said a gentleman from South i
Carolina Saturday, of "the vest
amount of work that is now being
done in dev doping the wat i
powers along the Catawba and
Broad rivers, and at the Narrows i
of the Yadkin river. Several
thousand men are at work, and
millions of dollars will be spent
to develop electrical power.
"The power from the develop- <
ment at Fort Mill. S. C., has all
been contract: d for, and it is
understood from t he seven po\v-1
cr sites controlled by the Southern
Power Company of Charlotte.

Clever Scheme to Held Immigrants.
The management of the Charlotte
Brick company has hit upon a
very unique scheme of getting
foreign laborers for its plant
near this place, and of keeping
them in good humor. Several
weeks ago the concern imported
from New York al.oi' tl 'rty immigrants,
indue': several nationalities.
The men were lodged
in a ro of houses between the
brick plant and the Southern
Hallway, a house inir given to
the men of eacn nationality.
With ,the idea of pleasin.g the
men the management of .he company
a short while ago secured a
1 lag of each nation rem. s,.sited
and put it over the ? ouso :'i v. hich
the men of that nationality were
quartered. i
The f!a<r scheme worked like
a charm. It seemed to keep the
men in a good humor. The
(jjermars. lodged in tne first
housg,retook especial pride in the
Hat? thai boated over theirabode. 1
The Swedes, eyed their banner
with pride also, and even the
Russians seemed pleased. Two
or three Filipinos demanded that
the stars and stripes he placed
over their shack and they were
gratified.
L>ul the good humor of the
men was not the only good result
of the display of the tlags.
A few days after they had been
released to the breeze, two
German immigrant, who were
passing on the train saw the
colors of their country, got oil
the train at Fort Myll. went to
see their brethren the brick !
plant are now at ^*erk there, i
