En'e(red Apol 23. 1903*8 CKENS, S. C.. MARCH 192 I Q'7 VnhMP 4 DEMOCRATIC S' REPUBLICAN IN A HOLE AND The Democratic Candidates for th and Ch Special to The Sentinel. Washington, D. C--Thc! Democratic party in the House of Representatives has put the Republicans in a hole and soap ed the sides and pulled up the l ladder. Their latest move has astounded the Republicans and t made their eyes bulge out like I buck eyes on a mud wall. This ( consummation devoutly to te' wished has been brought about by the move the Democrats haveim'ade in bringing a bill in I for free sugar and an amend ment to the Excise Law which I will produce the same amount of revenue cut off by free sugar.-i This proposition means by tak ing the tax off of raw sugar will cut down revenues of the government about $50,000,000. 00 per annum. By $5,000.00 a! year one percent, mean; thati1 $60,000,000.00 a year will be add- t ed to the reveaues, thus adding not less than $10,000,000. 00 per annum more than was received by the sugar tax and saving the] consumers of this country' no less than $100,000,000.00 a year in taxes, and compelling the rich people of this country to pay that tax. This is what I t call constructive statesmanship and Champ Clark and the lead- C ers in the Democratic House of Representatives are responsible I for this piece of legislation that t will make a new issue in the ] coming campaign. The Democrats were very secretive concerning the sugar schedule until the night of the caucus where the whole thing was sprung as a surprise and unanimously adopted by the Democrats in caucus as a Demo cratic measure with the excep tion of the Democrats from Lousiana and Colorado. the two big producing sugar States, one cane sugar- and the othE beet sugar. It is claimed by some that if this bill becomes a law it will ruin the sugar industries of those two States and put nearly a half a million people out of business. In the first place it will do no such thing. it will cut down their pr-ofts, perhaps, a cent and a half a pound on1 sugar, which will go into tne pockets of the consumers of this country and which the conseum ers of this country ought to be pleased at. Even if it did put that many people out of buisi ness what is 500,000 people com pared to the interest of 90,000 000 people who use sugar every day on their tables? As I have said previously, this will save the people of this coun a. try not less than $100,000,000.00 per annum. Now, if the duties on raw sugar place only $650, - 000,000.00 in revenue into the Treasury. where' does the other $50,00,000.00 com from that will be saved to the cons umers of this countryi Simplpy fr-om the pockets of the sug~ar trud and that's all the-re is to it. If this move~ on the~ part o h D~emocrats is not nppliar with the people, savin:g them all iz mnyeveiy year in livimr ex penses andl comnpelg the 11eb who I' afe incomes of over 85, 000.00 a year to make up the i difference in th ' Treasury, t hen 1 cannot conceive of anything that would be popular with thei people- of thi- co u nt ry.

Details of the un fortunate affair are not obtaina ble, but it is reported that the two men, who had formerly been friands, met at Ellison's store, where a dispute arose over some trivial matter. Hot words fol lowed when, it,. is said, Hunt struck Ellison with something, and Ellison fired, killing Hunt. Ellison gave himself up to the authorities, was carried to An derson'and committ-nd to jail, as the tragedy ocer just over the line in that county. Ellison has retained Hon. J. P. Carey, of Pickens, to represent him. Attempted To Kill Judge. Ne:w York, March 16.-An at.,empt to kill Judge Otto A.

Ten Stills Destroyed In a four days' raid, made in the Riverview section of Gree*n ville county and the Saluda riv er section of Pickens, the Unit ed States revenue officers found and destroyed ten stills and poured out something like 6,000 gallons of beer. No arrests were Pickens Railroad In Fine Shap( Columbia, S. C.. March 1st 191 Mr. B. L. Caugbman, Chm. Railroad Commission of S. C. Columbia, S, C. Dear Sir: On February 29th, 1912 I in spected the Pickens Railroad of South Carolina from Easley tc Pickens, S. C. Generally speaki'g, I found this road in good condition. Fifty pound rails are in use and while the grades are very heavy still the roadbed is otherwise in good .condition. The drainage is good and the cross-ties are ex ceptionally fine, as they are en tirely of oak. The roadbed is ballasted nearly its entire length of more than nine miles with fine gravel, which makes a sub stantial roadbed. The railroad company has recently erected a new depot at the town of Pick ens, that is in every way ade quate and is a credit both to the railroad and to the town. There are a great many trestles on this short line but the timbers have been recently repaired and are in good condition. The management of this road has recently purchased currugated iron pipes sufficient to carry the water under these trestles and I am informed that they will oon begin to fill in all trestles in compliance with instructions of the Railroad Commission in ts Circular No. 158 fixing a limited number of years in which to complete this work. I feel that it is well to empha ize the fact that this road has he distinction of being one of he few in the country that does not operate its trains on the Sabbath day. Respectfully submitted, J, G. Richards, Commissioner. Prospector at Anderson. Plans are on foot for the study or development of the fine min ral section lying between Ab beville and Anderson. along Rocky river. Mr. J. R. Dendu rant, a practical miner of Idaho who has been at work down there for some time, reports Tuesday that he has signed a prospedtor's bond for a lease and will remain there for a year. The property on which he has engaged to work belongs to Messrs. A, R. and R. M. Mc Adams. Mr. Dendurant has been pros pecting in the gold fields of the West for 20 years, and says he knows gold quartz wvhen he sees it. Specimens sent him from Rocky river before he came here assayed fairly well-$4 to $15 per ton. This appears to be free milliag gold, and he thinks there is a large deposit. The free milling gold does not re quire the use of a stamp mill, and therefore can be handled more readily and more profit ably. Mr. Dendurant reports that there are also la-rge deposits of tungsten' a metal from which guins are made, in that same section? The point at which he is working is on the line of the proposed rail way from An erson to Abbeville, and is also on the ledge running diagonally across the State, showing out croppings of. gold all the way from Dorn's mine at McCor mfick, to the Hale mine in Lan castor and the Brewer mine in Chesterfield. He thinks there is a large sect ion of the county in Anderson and Abbeville counties which could be mined with great profit. He predicts the success of Capt. P. K. Mc Cully's copper minifig interests near Donalds. He is not a placer miner, but is a quartz nner. Fine Farm For Sale. Contains :300 acres. Half in -ultivation. Good bottom land.

PRETTY Pit;KENS Will You Help to Make It So' A town or city is iudged by strangers by its apppear ance. The thrift and enterprise of the people are known by the same sign and surrounding conditions. The farm er who never cleans off his ditch banks, repairs his ter races and ditches will soon have no land to cultivate. When he lets his tools and farm implements be scattered over tho field, here and 3onder, he will soon have no tools The progressive spirit of a town can be shown in many ways. The business houses can be made attract ive by keeping the goods in their proper place and deco rating windows, though in a simple way. A town can be made inviting at little cost by keeping the streets re paired and clean. When rubbish and mud, and this and that are allowed to accumulate on the streets, it shows carelessness and indifference. The fences, gates and lots testify strongly to the en terprise and spirit of the people of a town. To see these dilapidated, sometimes swinging on one hinge, the lots I full of weeds, grass and trash-it is unsightly and unin viting. The time has come for the people of Pickens to clean up. Spring is here, and every citizen should begin to bestir himself for a City Beautiful. There is no reason why this town should not be the prettiest in the upper part of the State. Main street should be paved as early as possible. The other streets should be put in apple pie order. All the lots and private yards should be early cleaued and made nice and healthy. A coat of paint on some of the residences and business houbes would help the cause, without much expense. There are several places where lime and whitewash could be used to ad -vantage. Last, but not least, the court house groands should be made to look better. It occupies the central. place in the town and could be made beautiful by the ex penditure of a little money. The lower half of the lot should have trees on it. The entire lot should be laid out in walks and sodded with grass and flowers and a neat fence placed around it. Ho, for a beautiful Pickens!
