The Pickens Sentinel ~LOCAL BREVITIES I Some Thing !oa Know and Some # You Dont Know About Our Towns, County & People Everybody get ready for June 3rd. Easley Graded School closed its term last week. Will the farmers call for rain before they get it? Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jen nings, of Green,7ille spent last Sunday with relatives in the city. Don't forget the entertain ment at the school house Fri day night. A good laugh is a good tonic. School closes here on the 25th. There will be appropriate exer cises of the evenings of the 24th and 25th. Mr,). F. Parsons and son, Ralph, left last Friday for a week's visit to relatives in Birm ingham, Ala. The Big Store talks Oil stoves this week. Mighty nice thing to have in hot weather. Saves fuel, worry and sweat. The closing exercises of Chi cora Collegs, Greenville, will be gin tomorrow (Friday) and end Tuesday next. Miss Bugg. one of the milli ners at the Big Store, has re signed her position and left last Saturday for her home near Danville, Va. TSeveral young people from here went to Six Mile last Sun div toattend the May- meeting. There were some candidates who also attended. Sunday electioneering should be cut out.. The announcement of Mr. J. H. G. McDaniel for Clerk of Court appears in this issue of The Sentinel. Mr. McDaniel is well known over the county and is well qualified for the position he seeks. / Mr. J. T. Anthony, of Car ynegiei Okla., is visiting in the county. He took in the reunion a't' Macon, and then came on to this county to see relatives and fiends, He will return the last of this month. Mr. 3. T. Looper attended the old soldiers reunion at Macon last week and reports a great time. He said also that so far as he could observe the farmers were in about the same condition there' as here with the farm work.. Announcement reacehed Pick 'ens last Saturday of the birth on April 29th to Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Fu m of Wilson, N. C. of a' daughter, Kathryn Ea.rle Fulghum. Mrs. Fulghum was for merly Miss Eva Earle of this place. A rare treat is in store for all who go to the school auditorium at Easley Friday night the 24th inst. One of the souths most noted singers and musicians, Prof. C, D. Tillman and his daughter -will give a musical concert at. that- time. No one should miss this musical feast. "My hat. is in the ring," is the meaning .of the announce ment of Mr. J. Luther Bagwell which appears in this issue of The Sentinel. Mr. Bagwell has served two years as County Commissioner and asks for re election on his record. "Have you read the new book which is creating such a sensa tion-'The Sinking of the Titan " Child, yes; isn't it just sim ply grand; not at all like the newspapers reported it, is it?" - A. M. Jones sells them for.$1.00. Will the time ever come in Pickens when men and boys will not be seen loafing on the streets, at the livery stable, post office and other places on Sunday? Almost any Sunday, num~bers can be seen at these places instead of at Sunday School and church, and fre qpently the larger part of the c'rowd are members of the church, who -should be at church. The republicans of this coun ty are the most silent set of people to be found anywhere. They are all dumb. The truth, is every one (the bunch wants to get to the pie counter and they do not knowv who is going to do the dishing out act. Ordinarly ~numerous conventions and club :meetings would have been held, blit the fight between Taft and a ooee hau put a quietus on The biggest day of the year for Pickens will be June 3rd. The teachers and pupils of the school sold ice-cream at the school house last Friday evening and thereby netted 8 dollars. From reports from different sections of the county the farmers are farther behind with their work than ever hefore. Everybody in reach of Easley should avail themselves of the opportunity to hear Prof, C. D. Tillman, the noted singer and musician at the School Audi torium in that city on the night of the 24th. "To-day we go to press with the announcements of forty-four candidates." This was taken from the Keowee Courier of last week. In the same issue of The Sentinel only four announce ments appeared for County of fices. Are the prospective candidates really afraid that they will have to declare themselves for Blease or Jones? Is that why they are hesitating about annouucing? 'Messrs. J. F. Rigdon, V. A. Nigdon and W. D. Hendricks, jr., of the Pleasant Grove section. were in town Monday, and re port practically nothing done in that part of the county toward farming. "Sinking of the Titanic," complete story from lips of sur vivors, 350 pages, 50 illustra tions. Mailed to any address on receipt of $1,00. A. M. Jones, Pickens,S. C. Another hat in the ring. Mr. Jas. M. Lawrence says he is willing to stand on the record he has made as County Con mis sioner and this week. announces his candidacy for re-election. The horse of Mr. Thonuis Edens ran away twice in town last Monday, once on Main street and then again near the depot. The first was without serious damage, but the last one demolished his buggy, threw him out and hurt him rather severely. Mcmorial exercises were ob served at Pisgah church last Saturday, Rev. C. A. Waters, pastor. On account of the in clement weather, not many peo ple were present, but the exer cises were held just- the same. Mr. J. P. Carey, Jr., of this, place, was the orator of the day. /The many friends of Mrs. Pickens Stephens will be sid dened to know she was carried to the hospital, in Greenville, last Monday, to be operated on for apendicitis, and will join us in wishing for her speedy re covery. A series of meetings was be gun at the Baptist church of the ~Pickens Mill last Monday night and will continue through out the week. Rev. C. A. Waters, the pastor, is being as sisted by Dr. Henry Miller, pas tor of the Pendleton street church, Greenville, who is doing the preaching. Prof. Charlie D. Tillman, the noted singer of Atlanta, will give a musical concert in the School Auditoriamn at Easley Friday night the 24th inst. Prof. Tillman will use the pih no accompanied by his daugh ter with a violin. The concert will be under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church. Mr. H. J. D. Anthony, of Hill City, Tenn.. after taking in the re-union at Macon, Ga., came on to this county to visit relatives and friends. Mr. Anthony left here 26 years ago, and for the past 21 years has been connected with the City Milling Company, one of the largest flour plants extant. He looks like time has dealt kindly with him and appears to be well satisfied in his adopted home. He lost his wife a year ago, and some time before that, buried his only child, a son, and now has no family. Rev. G. F. Kirby preached an excellent sermon at the Meth od-i ist church last Sunday. The| line of thought was home life and home influences, the pro per and correct living and rear ing children, 1t was dlirected especially to parents. and it is regretted that more of the fath ers and moth~ers of the town and community did not hear it. The loose and lax rein some parents hold over their children is lamentable indeed, and the loafing on the streets, at the post office, the livery stable, pool rooms and other places day after day of the young boys.! ad the padding and aimless andeing ay after day of the girls on the streets, advertises to the world a lack of parental 1 oversight and control and will 1 result to the great injury of the child. Mr. N. R. Kennenore. of near Six Mile, was here Monday. and when asked for the news of his section. replied that he did not know any, as he had just re turned from the re-union at Macon. While there he visited a former citizen of this county, Mr. J. Abe Stewart, whom he reports to be doing well. Several persons from this county attended the old soldiers re-union at Macon and various opinions were expressed about the country. Some thought it fine and others said it looked so forsaken and poor that a crow would have to take his rations with hin in some sections. We have heard of none, however, taking the Georgia fever. Pick ens should be good enough for any man. The large congregation which greeted Rev. J. C. Bailey at the Presbyterian church last Sun afternoon was richly rewarded by hearing one of the best ser mons delivered in Pickens in quite awhile, from the text, "Where art Thou." Rev. Mr. < Bailey is a man of gifts, a fluent I sr.eaker and splendid preacher, and the Presbyterian congrega tion should feel happy in secur- t ing the services of such a man. f .0. ~ ---- The Liberty Cotton Mills, As was stated last week this t mill was sold to Mr J. M. Geer, the president of the Easley Cot ton Mill. Reliable information received since the sale is that the price paid was $80.000. a which is about $100,000 less than the original cost. . t Mr. Geer, it is understood here, bought this property for i the owners of the Easley Cotton mill, and it will be operated by a the same management. Mr. J. P. Carey went to An derson last week to prepare the title and assist in making the transfer of the property. It is said the mill will resume oper- t ation at an early day and that at least $25,000) will be spent at once in new machinery etc. The prospects are that steps will 3 be taken to enlarge and increase t the output of the mill. The peoiple of Liberty are very much gratified that Mr. Geer has purchased this plant as he is regarded as one of the best mill men in the South and his name is synonomous with suc. cess. - - Judge Jones to Speak. The Daughters of the Confed- ( eracy have secured a promise from Judge Ira B. Jones, can didate for governor, to deliver I the annual address at the old E soldiers reunion at this place on I the 3rd day of June. Judge t Jones, besides being a gentle- 2 man and scholar, is a speaker of c rare gifts. and all who attend t the reunion here this year will be assured of a great feast from the lips of this brilliant man. The Daughters will hold a meeting this week at which time final arrangements and a program will be made for the occasion. It is expected that the largest crowd which ~ ever attended an old soldier's reunion at Pickens will be here ~ June :3rd. if the weather is good, and it is earnestly hoped th.t the day may be fair and bright. The local chapter U. D. C. will spare no pains to make this one of the most pleasant of all the reunions. The Pick-ens Silver Cornet Band will furnish the music. Olga Farm News. All the people of this locality 1 are puzzling their brains over what has become of our super visor. He very evidently has not traveled over our public roads in this vicinity recently I and I inay safely add, previous-] l also. Before the heavy rains 1 came, the roads were already in I a most deplorable condition, and since, it would be hard to im agine the state they are in new, certainly not passable. And yet we thought we were endow ed with superior wisdom in elect ing a supervisor that would en deavor to attend occasionaly to the absolute needs essential for< safe travt 1, if indifferent to cater to our wants. "For man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long." We hope he will try to gratify one wish of ours by driving leisurely along through this section of the world, and we have no doubt about. it being a leisurely drive under the exist ing state of the highways unless he asl -o in an air ship, nd come preparedi to eithci iuild new ones or get out a new )aten.t on the old ones. Richa rI Foster's f arm wagon, eturning to the house from the leld heavily loaded with farm og implements was almost urned over by one wheel going lown in a deep washout in the oad, and the colored driver was ;hrown violently to the ground he horses became frightened and ran over half a mile, throw ng out a fine harrow damaging t considerably. Fortunately ne of the horses' traces became infastened and they were soon topped. Miss Verner Foster has re urned home after spending a rery pleasant week in Green ille, with her sister Mrs. W. W.

No June Court. The members of the bar held , meeting last Friday and de ided that they would ask Judge >rince to call off the June term f court for this county. This Lction was taken on account of he very busy time with the armers. There has been so nuch rain this year that the armers need every day they an get to catch them up with heir work, and two or three [avs about the first of June vould interfere very materially ith their farm work. There is very little for trial ny way. Only one prisoner in ail, and he awaiting trial for he shooting of Mr. Cantrell at. fr. A. B. Talley's corn shuch g last fall. The other cases or trial are smaller misdemean r cases and the parties are out n bond. Besides the saving to the rmers directly in not having > attend court there will be a ving of at least $500. to the x payers of the county. Clerk of Court Boggs has notl2 udge Prince, who was to have teld the June cou. t beginning onday, June 3rd., of the ac ion of the bar and there will be LO court this summer..

Not many more Confederate reunions will be held. "The ivil war was fought by boys," one historian tells us, but it was half a century ago when the youngsters marched away to war, and even the 16-year-old soldiers are nearing threescore years and ten. They were as hardy a set as ever shouldered a gun, but Time conquers the bravest, and most of them have fallen before the last enemy. Tears came to the eyes as we watch the "thin gray line" at Macon-tears in which pride is mingled with regret, tears for the dead, cheers for the living. They will not be with us many years, these men who survived war and reconstruction. They have been heroes of peace as well as war. After following Lee and Jackson, Longstreet, Stuart and Johnston for four years, they went back to what was left of their homes. From the ashes of the Con federacy has arisin a greater South, and they and their sons have created it. "As I grow older," the late Senator Daniel of Virginia said to a friend, "my mind turns back more and more to myj youth. I seem to live in the~ Confederacy quite as much as in the present time. That was the most glorious period of our lives and no man who went' through it can fail to feel a thrill as he recalls those stirring scenes," The Southern veterans are rich in memories. Their acheve ments are history.
