L Valley, who have been wortiug out western North Carolina, are now in this couni ty working it out for poplar and white oak timbei. They came to Pickens Friday even. mng and ave made this point their headquarters. It is their intention to handle the timber in the rough and to this end they buy the trees as they stand, cut them down and haul them to the .railroad for shipment. As they ex port this timber there is more in shipping the log than there would be in handling the sawed product, They have fifteen head of stock and run three four-horse teams and one three-ho'so team, and are out now scouring the county for the kind of timLer they want. They pay a fair price for the trees and if you have any 800 them. We are glad they are among us os they may be the means of inducing others to come. One man, or one small onterprise can be of untold benefit to a town, community or county. We welcome them and bespeak for them plenty of timber. A Serious Accident.

The wound was necessarily a most painful one but he bore it hero ically aid is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. His numerous friends will look anx iously for his speedy recovery. In the forenoon of the same day Mr. Frank Williams of this county, and also a Clemson graduate, had the misfortune to lose two fingers at the same mill. Camp Meeting.
