The People's Journal rUntLrSTI(D WOMLY, T.J.MAULDIN, Emroit. W. L. MATHENY, Bus. Man. Cntered at the Post Office at Pickens a second-class matter. Stibscription, $1.00 a Year. THURSDAY. MAIL. 20, 1902. John P. Altgeld, once Governor of the state of Illinois, and a pub lic man prominent in Democratic politics, is dead. * * * No'r half has yet been told about tho exposition. .l.You must go and see in order to understand and ap preciate it. WIAT has become of the move ment for a cotton mill at Pickens. We need one and can got it with a little concerted action. THE enterprising people of Pick ens might help themselves and tho town a little by planning and carry ing to a successful issue a "JPourth of July" celebration. A r the beginning of this year, don't buy too hastily or too much. Conservative buying and more than usual diligence will bring their good results next November. NouritNm; helps so well as a do termination to do, and the peoph of Pickens county have enough o: the lasting qualitieR to carry thon through this year of noecessary self den ial, R~ Er'our show the sat isfactorj fact that nearly all tho southert states at the last sossiou of theil legislatures have (lone the right thing for tho fast passing Confvd. orate soldior. CoTrroN is still on the up-grade. The rise in price will do those who havo it yet some good, but the plan ters should not be deceived or in duced to plant largely in cotton this year thereby. * *'* H1ow so many people got. to I ho Court House in timo for busine m, Moniday morning, and that from the remote sections of. the county, with the roads in such a desperate condition is a mattor for a fellow to figure on. THlE man who starts his crop f'oi 1902 without cern and~ almost withm out moat realizes the force of the good advice thatt is usually giveni, about lanuting time every year, tc plant so as to be independent of the west. EVERY (lay the Charleston expo. Sitioni gets better. It is a show es sentially southern and moreovo devoted to South Carolina. Th~ing are revealed thiere that will astont ish even those best informied ab~or the matchless resources of thei awn state. Tnlil exhibit of Pickens count ranks well, indeed, among tho loti or county exhibits at the expos tion, but little more than a begi ning has beeni made to give there full indication of what lies d0 mant in Pickens county awaitii only the energy and~ the genius progressive people with capitLa n am a purpose to bring the coun! ty the front. TirE apring termi of court in se sion this week is holdi ny out co siderably longer than usual win the people are pressed for time which to catch up wi't h the alreat belated preparationis for thuis yeal cro1>. Busuncss p~assed over ati continued for several terms has a cumulated and a longer term tI usual is necessary to clear ti dockets of their present burdensa, As has been suggested by son correspondents, through the co umns of this paper, the publicatie of letters giving tho results of e periments in farming is interestix and does good wvhon one wants1 get the advantage of the work< somebody else. We invite suc articles and will do all we cahn I help in giying the readers such it formation as is valuable an timely. IT won't be long till the ba8 ball boys will begin to practics and old "Lazy Lawrence" wi: dance up and down the streets an roads and cotton rows, and prett girl. will come out in pure whit dresses, the fish will bite and thos who haven't been to church ii four months will venture out and talk with their friende and neigh bors and all will forget the bmart time. an4 feel better, There ii ha oanntq esa When Pickens county, gots o cash basis, then we will be in a way for progress. It is said th will be no trouble in placing I per cont bonds, but tho goo( t twenty five or thirty thousand i lars will do turned loose taout 11 is what makes the cash basis it popular, to say nothing of I county's being able to pay as goes. LTr everybody from this hc resolvo to do bottor work and m< of it, live more economically a moro consistently, buy less and sure.to pay for what we buy, b row nothing we can do withc and pay the preacher bofore I needs force him to ask for it, duce living to a comm1on so1 basis, be mon and women like ought to be-afraid of r.ob. giving every man his due. would all get along better to those simplo resolutions.
