Friday, June , 1941 The lato Senator Tillman, didn't do ull he threatened to do when he arrived In Washington with hla famous pitchfork, and, in fact, by the time he had been at the national capital a few years he was Just regular runof-the-mlne. Hut Just the same he turned loose some wild talk, and probubly llko the late Iluoy Long, had l?is staid old associates scared within an inch of thoir lives until they turned hint down. It's a pity there's not somebody up there now with a pitchfork to ram it into that fossilized seniority rule that led a bunch of selfrespecting men for the most part to feel that they woro honor-bound to support Hob Reynolds for chairman of tho military affairs commtttoo. Why not call in Lindbergh, or John L. Lewis? Rules may do very well ordinarily, but in an omergoncy such u? exists today blind adherence to precedent, or to tho strict letter of tho law, might bo suicidal.?Chester Reporter. AN OLD QRI8T MILL More than 100 yoars ago, a pioneer by tho name of Dan Goode established a water mill several miles northwest of the present City of Anderson. Pendleton wus tho nearest town back then; Abbevillo the largest settlement with a radius of 100 miles. As for Anderson, It was Just ft wide place in the General's road known as French Store. Dan Ooode was probably a soldier of the Revolution. At any rate, be was an industrious man working up <iulte a large milling business for that day and time. After C,code's death, the mill changed hands many times. In the early 50's It was washed away by what Is still known as tho'Great August Freshet. Tt wns rebuilt and ready for business by the following summer. Thirtytwo "year ago, George W. Smith bought the mill from the late Jim Martin and operates *lt to this day.
