They will in the future, so it is reported, do away with ticket auditors and return to the old way of having the conductors collect the fares. That will be good news to the old-timers of the punch, who have never been reconciled to the auditor system.

The data assembled by the bureau indicates that it is cheaper by far than the old system of mayor and aldermen. It is simply business principles applied to municipalities.

C. Historical Sketch of 0] Prefatorial to the historicale trticles by Mr. N. B: Carey s lealing with old Pickens dis- ti rict, we publish below a histor- c cal sketh of Pendleton district 1\ vritten by Mr. D. H. Russell of b Anderson and recently read by Y im before the Cateechee chap- J ;er Daughters of the American I Revolution, at Anderson. d t More than 125 years ago this s mtire region which is now a nown as Anderson. Pickens t ind Oconee counties, was the bome of the Cherokee Indians. t Some time about 1778 Gen. t Andrew Pickens made a treaty with the Indians by which they ? eded this territory to the state. The treaty was known as the c Treaty of Hopewell, and until a ( few years ago the huge oak un der which the treaty was made t was standing near the Old Stone C Church. About.1778 these lands lately ceded by the Indians, by the act of the legislature were included in Ninety-Six district 9 and for some years the courts were held at Ninety-Six, and I, myself, have heard my great C grandfather, Thomas Hamilton, who was a soldier of the Revolu- C tion, tell of riding horseback to t Ninety-Six to serve as a juror in the court. He settled in Gar- E vin township about 1783 and the house he built is still standing C and is owned now by W. A. G. Jamison. The country was be ing occupied slowl-v by 'settlers and so far as I have been able to E ather, about the first white family to settle in what is now Anderson county was a family t by the name of Smith, who set ted on Broadmouth Creek. on lands now owned by Matthew Cox, near what is known as the Sallie Reid graye yard. This family was murdered by the 1 Indians, except one little boy, who escaped and made his way to Ninety-Six to inform the t troops stationed. there, and a terrible vengeance was wreaked on them for this and they were driven far off to the mountains. The bodies of the murdered fam ily were throwi into the burn ing house and the soldiers gather ed up the remains and they now lie in the Sallie Reid graveyard. About 1778, or a little later, Ninety-Six was divided into the counties of Abbeyille, Edgefield, Newberrv. Laurens. Spartan burg and Union. There is a1 confusion of dates here that. is hard to unravel, and also a con fusion of namss in sometimes calling them counties and some times districts, and -in this di vision there is no mention of Pendleton district. In 1785 Washington county was erected, which as'near as I can find out included what was later Pendle toi district, and also Greenville, with the county seat at Pickens ville. and the dungeon of the jail hewn out of the rock is still to be seen there. On March 7, 1789, an act wab passed estab lishing Pendleton district, with Peidleton as the county seat. The name Pendleton was given1 in honor of Judge Henry Pen- ~ deton, a distinguished soldier of ~ the Reyolvtion, who seisved dur ing the war in this state. After' the war he was elected to a juageship, and died in Green- ~ ville county in 1789. The first / ourt house was built of logs ' md stood near the railroad cul vert in the town, and later a brick house was built on the . ~quare near the old Farmer's uall.C In 1826 an act was passed rnak- C ng two judicial districts out of ~endleton district, one to be mown as Anderson and the ther as Pickens, and Col. J. C. ilpatrick, Major Lewis and l'homas Garvin were appointed ;he commissioners to divide the istrict. December 20, 1826, rames Harrison, R. B. Norris. W. Gambrell, J. C. Griffin and Wm. Sherrard were appointed :ommissioners to purchase not ess than 400 acres on which to ocate the county seat of And arson county, and James Thomp son, Samuel J. Hammond, J.E. orris, Alexander Moorhead mnd Liewellyn Goode were ap ointed commissioners of public uildings, and on the second Konday of October, 1828, the irst courts were held in Ander ;on and Pickens, and I have ieard old Mr. Micah Milton. who lied a few years ago in his 92d rear, say that he attended the irst court here and lhitched his iorse to swinging limb of a sap ing near where the Confederate nonument now stands. Both ounties were to use the jail at Pendleton until new jails could e built at the respective county ;eats, and the sheriff of Ander on county was to have charge >f the old jail at Pendleton.' The ew jail at Anderson was built >n the spot where the old Wil iite drug store was, and I well 'emember when it was torn lown and removed to the pres mnt site and Granite Row built mn it. Although ANnderson and Pickens were made separate judicial districts in 1828 and had ;heir separate county officers, yret they remained one election listrict until 1852, and I well re member the last election held diere under that arrangement on ;he spot where the Bank of And arson now stands, and the elec bion returns had to be carried to Pendleton from both districts md there the votes were tabulat d and the election declared. T'he reason for this was, the par ish system prevai'ed in the lower part of the state, by which each parish had one representative ad one senator, and thus pre served power in the hands of l inoity.u The first court d Pendleton District I t ver held in this district (for I I al speak of it as a district un- t 1 the name was changed to t unty) was held on the second C londay in October, 1828, as I i ave previously mentioned, and ras presided over by Judge ohn S. Richardson. one of the C ,ichardson family that has been e istinguished in this state for C wo or three generations. The Aicitor was Bayliss J. Earle, fterwards Judge- Earle. and I he first clerk of court was John . Lewis, of the family of Lewis' at have been prominent in his district for a hundred years C nd it is an interesting fact that I 0 of the Lewis family are lying I' a the cemetery at Old Stone < hurch. The first sheriff was I - E W. Foster, but of him and ( is descendants I can find no ( race in the records. The next I lerk was Mr. Van Lawhorn and1 te was followed by Mr. Elijah NVebb, who held that office con- 1 inously until 1864, a period of i tbout 28 years. But let me recur for a moment E o some of the earlier history in ] olonial days. when all of this ountry belonged to the English :rown: Back in 1730 this coun- 1 ry attracted the attention of 4 he English king, who sent Al- I xander Cummings across the !ttlantic to treat with the chiefs I if the Cherokees. The struggle I hich was to last for several dec- I Ades was just beginning between I ngland and France for the pos- i ession of the heart of this conti Lent, and the French were grad- 1 ially pushing southward from I he St. Lawrence through west rn New York and Pennsvlva iia, the objective point being the i )hio and Mississippi valleys, hich they proposed to hold by] L chain of forts and trading 1 >osts, the ultimate design being I o follow the trend of the Appa- 4 achian range and thus confine I he English to the Atlantic sea- i >oard. Cummings Dushed his I ay through the almost unbrok- 1 ilderness until he reached the dian village of Keowee. 300 niles from Charleston, and there ie made a treaty of friendship vith the Cherokees,which made ' hem the allies of the English gainst the French. This town >f Keowee was within the limits' >f old Pendleton district and its I ite is near Nimmons' bridge. I >ver Keowee river, and the land s now owned by Mr. R. L. Nim nons, and frequently during 'ecent years when I was a trav ling man I have crossed at Smmons' bridge, and, as I haye nounted the hill on the other1 ide and looked out over the >eautiful panorama of the valley1 f the Keowee spread out before ne, was not surprised that the herokees fought to maintain hemselves in their beautiful nountain home.' About 25 years later, or about .775, the colonial governor. Jas,1 llenn,made another treaty with I he Indians, securing vast tracts I f land, but the most important I f which was to erect forts in1 he Indian territory, ostensibly or the protection of the back I ountry, but in reality it was i he insertion of the camel's nose] n the Arab's tent, for from this 1 ime began encroachments on]I he Indians which culminated in i Indian war.

Fifteen Mile, Uighteen Mile,Three-and-Twen y and Six-and-Twenty. After he crossed the Six-and-Twenty he struck a ridge which runs to 7inety-Six without crossing a tream. There are a number of historic iames of places connected with )ld Pendleton. The oldest of hese was Pickensville, once a eat of justice, now a wide place n the big road, with all its ,lory departed, but in my bov iood days it w as a famous place, ioted first as the point at which he circusses, which in those ays traveled through the coun ry, always stopped for an ex ibition on the trip from Green rille to Anderson, and the whole ,ountryside clear to the moun iains would be there, for it was mn event in their lives. "Villi cias and his Dinah," not one, ut many of them, would be here, he in his copperas breech s and brogan shoes, and she in er linsey-woolsey and sun bon iet, and they would feast on he long rows of wagons with heir white covered tops loaded with ginger cakes and beer, and [. have never seen any ginger yakes since that tasted half as rood. It was a life of Arcadian simplicity. but those 'sturdy nountaineers later helped to nake the finest fighting ma yhines ever seen on this planet, ;he Army of Northern Virginia. But the most noted event per aps connected with old Pick sville in the old days was the amp muster which all the mili iamen from the upper division which took in all the districts as ar down as Edgefield, camped ;here for a week and mustered md' drilled every day', and the >rigadier-general and his staff mnd the governor and his staff were all arrayed in their gorge us regimentals, and it was a trand old sight to see them pa ade in all their glorious "pomp md circumstance" with nodding >lumes and clanking swords and rancing steeds, and to my boy sh eyes war seemed a gala day, ut I found out better a few rears later. There were two or three places own as settlements or villages hat had some prominence. Rock fills on the Generostee was a >lace of considerable note. The argest merchant mill in the dis rict, belonging to Maverick and Lewis, was located here; also a awmill, a spindle factory, dis illeries, several wagon makers, Ld some~ stores were located ere, and now it is difficult to ocate the place.
