"That Pickens is the best place in South Carolina in which to ss the hot months of summer 1 own fact., but for some 6eason or other, heretofore visi tors from the lower parts of the State have not been encouraged. The accommodations have been poor and those who came have had to board at various private homes out in the country, where at best one must put up with much that was inconvenient and where the solitude is well nigh oppressive. All this will be changed now. With the comnpletion of the hotel which is being built by Mr. T. D. Harris, one of the most progres sive merchants in the town, Pick ens will have a modern and strictly up-to-date house, espec ially adapted to the comfort and pleasure of the summer tourist. About July 1, the building will be thrown open to guests. It is a well proportioned frame and brick building of three stories, and contains forty rooms, all of which are well lighted and ven tilated. A piazza twelve feet in width encircles the entire build ing and the halls are wide and cool. From the dining room the vis itor will have an unsurpassed view of Glassy and Si Mile mountains, neither tof which is more than three milesdistant. From the upper story a bean tiful view of Bald Knob, Table Rock, Caesar's Head an.bther well-known peaks can be had. The building will have w#AW works and a telephone w; con neck with the Bell" em. aesof a family as hotel managers, and it is safe to say that no guest of his 'will ever regret having come to enjoy the delightful climate, the delicious water and the beautiful scenery of Pickens." The above clipping from the Pi< ens correspondent in the News at - -. . i dvari their local interests is true not or -. because it helps them but it he] - Pickens, and when Pickens is helpe 'the whole community takes courag as it were, and new life springs in works and the community interei thrive. Mr. Harris is building a hotel proportions most creditable tG Pi< ens. It would be a credit to a town in South Carolina, and espe ally is it an attraction in a place thi like Pickena, bids for the sumrm business in the hotel line. It will ''with the n esarv -ill insure was terprise, a to wise mi *ig, n the endt, mn.,.d he m~ent to Pi< ens. This spirit of investment speaks confidence in the future of Pickens a confidence most commendable. The people are moving all aloi the line. Lots are being bought al new dwelling houses are being phe ned and built. The merchants building substantial brick structou additional to their already commo .ou :ame buildings. They are vith the spirit of substant *, and they are placing th - . in a form of real estate and ~e where only a little time v prove that they are making no m take. Pickens is growing. She can't he growing with so much of rich al fast developing territory contributi: to st.ch growth. And the people unanimous in this movement towar bringing this town to the realizati of its natural possibilities. We can't speak too much for Pi ens. Every concerted effort to gr means a mutual prosperity for to and country, and our people real this and are moving for it. A fortune teller in New York I struck a new plan of telling fortun lie does it by the lines on the sole a person's foot, and claims that it just as reliable as palmistry, whicl probably is. The United States will be sure have trouble on the isthmus of P ama when the work on the canal gins. More men have died tb than in any place of a like size in world Rosedale, Kan., had an election 1 week, which was won by the vote the wvomen. The progressive pa hired a lot of automobiles to ta voters to the polls, and the womx fairly fought for the pleasure of r ing in them and voting the progr sive ticket. Commenting on the Postoffice 1 * artinent scandals and Postmasi them, the Galveston News (Dem.) says: '-Irregularities' and 'inexcu sable extravagance' are merely soft terms applied to relatives, friends and workers in the party, whose misap propriations of public money have been accidentally discovered. Our dictionary is something wonderful. Isn't it? A thief is not always a thief in this country." e. An awful cyclone struck Gaines ville, Ga., Monday afternoon at about 6 2 o'clock, and left debris, ruin, de struction and death in its path. The seene beggars description. The three top stories of the Gainesville cotton mill was completely destroyed, At the new Pacolet mill all of the cot tages were destroyed. Stores and dwellings in the city proper were de stroyed. Latest reports estimate that over 200 people are dead and fully 500 injured. Clerk of the Board RepUea. Editor Sentinel-Journal: In your issue of the 21st of May a lengthy editorial appears: "Turn on the Light," in which you make some very serious charges against the Clerk of the board of County Commission ers, which I am forced from a sense of duty to reply. I dislike very much to be drawn into this uncalled for controversy. I am not seeking notoriety through the press, but standing on the defen sive and propose to ans .ver for myself touching those things whereof I am accused-I am not an officer of Pick ens county-but I am here as clerk of the board of County Commission ers; not as a matter of choice either. I had hoped that when you purchased The Journal plant, that you would lead off in marshalling the masses along all the lines of progress. I was not looking to find you trying to create distrust, and sowing seeds of discord. The press is represented as an engine of power, and that power is-either for good or evil-and ought to be handled with care. Yoo seem to have gone out on the war path of late. You had thought to leave the Commissioners alone and lt the matter drop, but not beiD satisfied with the 40'ginvou gr-e Stephens-and-Welborn, you a e newd the attack, and include the - -erk of the board and give him a little spanking. Well, we shall see later how that will work. You have sniffed the breeze and want some one to believe that there is something wrong up the branch-the stench is very great-and you have decided that it is in the Commnissioners office, and call upon the Grand Jury to get ready for the prey -but the case is such an offensive one-better send off k- and get some one from a distance to dlook after this matter. Where on earth would you expect to get better men than is' Un the panel of that d~Grand Jury? Men tried and true c Chosen because of their fitness for at the important trust confided in them. p.This office was not so offensive last cfear. It was a splendid place for you. A place that you visited fre 17 quently. I am aware that you are a s little bit sore. The tax payers know ad what's the matter with you. The ,light will be turned on in due time, oand we shall see where the extrava gance comes in. I am not authorized tto say one word for the Commission ers. They are able to take care of of themselves. I have been watching k the Commissioners, and there can be no doubt but what they are acting in 2ygood faith; doing all in their power i- to give the people better roads, with t, as little expense as possible. They er are working and planning almost day and night to make thoir administra tion a success. The people are call c ing for better roads; the business of its the county demands it. I don't rid blame the people, they ought to have n better roads. I say hurrah for the people. Demand good roads and a-stand by your Commissioners as long kas they do right and use your money judiciously, and let this little croak a ing kicking crowd, who think they - can hol-1 the world by the tail, and stop progress, try it, and see where they will be landed. Nobody scared g or hurt yet. d Now, as to my voting in the courts nof the Commissioners, or charging efor making changes in the public reroads, or offering you a consideration es to keep your mouth shut, or taking i- the place of the board's attorney, I ll want to say here and now, it is abso la'ltely false. CxIR OF THE BOAuD. in EXPLANATION FROM A. J. WE L ill BORN. 'As the editor of The Sentinel-Jour. nal has turned'off the light, I will lp now explain to the tax payers of the ad county the consideration that was ig made to our worthy editor of Ths Sentinel-Journal. re As the Easley Progress is a county paper, I thought it only just to share on the profits of the County's advertis ing with said Progress. Icontended kfor same and we Commissioners agreed to give the Easley Progress a psi t of the advertising. For which n our friend editor of The Sentinel ize Journal got his nap up and said what are you roing to do about having our claims and stationery printed? I spoke and said, Jim, if you will hold your tongue and quit grumbling, I s-will not contend for the Easley Prog of ress to have any of that work, we will is get you to do it. I meant if be would it do it as cheap as we could get it done elsewhere. This was the only con sideration offered. I did not mean for- him to keep any of my official acts to out of the paper. I am willing for tnall the world to know all of my offi be- cial acts. I have no quarrel again t re the editor or any- of his correspond heents, but I feel it my duty to my fend to make this explanation. A. J.
