Local and
All subscriptions to The Pick
ens Sentinel which are not paid
in advance by January 1, 1915,
will bediscontinued. We hope I
we shall not nave to discontinue!
a single subscription, but in
order to be fair and square to
all of our subscribers we posi
tively cannot make an exception
to the cash-in-advance rule. It
would be manifestly unfair for
us'to discontinue some and let
others run otr, and its an im
possibility to successfully con
duct the paper on the credit
system. Attend to this today
ere you forget it. .

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by oca aplict~usi as -they cannot
re thea sed ortion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure. deafness.
and that Is by constitutional 'remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the MUCOUS lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. when this tube Is inftamed
you have a runbling sound or Imperfect
he-rlng and when it Is entirely closed.
Deafness IS the reult, and unless the in
flammatlon can be taken Out- and tfl-3
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.

The other day white we were
sitting under the juniper tree
watching a tussle for supremecy
between the sun and the clouds
our mouth was watering for a
good juicy apple and we were
trying to figure out a scheme
whereby we could get the four
cents we lacked having enough
to buy a nickel's worth of the
luscious f r u i t, when Capt.
"Billy" Allgood drove up and
stopped in front of our sanctum
sanctorium. We went over to
greet the genial captain and he
handed us a basket with a peck
of apples in it, saying he had to
come to town and just before he
left his wife said he had better
bring The Sentinel boys a few
apples. (We sure are glad Mrs.
Allgood happened to think
about that.) The apples WERE
of the Shockley variety, in fact
pure Shockleys, and were just
right for eating purposes. From
the one small tree from which
these apples were gathered Mr.
Allgood gathered four bushels of
apples.
This present and thoughtful
ness were greatly appreciated
by us and we assure Mr. and
Mrs. Allgood of our hearty
thanks.

Rey. N. G. Ballenger, who at
one time was pastor of the Pick
ens Methodist church and lov
ingly remembered heie, was re
cently assigned to the Seneca
district in the Anderson district.
For the past year or two Mr.
Ballenger has been unable to
preach regularly on account of
ill health. ___
When Rev, and Mrs. L. E.
Wiggins returned home from a
visit to his mother in the lower
part of the state Satur day they
found that the members of the
Methodist church had paid the
parsonage a visit and left an
abundance of groceries and
other useful articles a.s a small
token of their love and esteem
for the popular pastor and wife.
The people of Pickens are glad
that Mr. Wiggins was returned
to this charge.
The revenue officers and con
stables have been on the job in
Pickens county lately.- Only
last week they destroyed four
illicit distilleries and more than
3,500 gallons of beer in this
county, all in the upper part of
the county, one of the largest
copper stills being on Laurel
Fork mountain. The beer de
stroyed would have made nearly
00gallons of whiskey. The of
ficers also seized several gallons
of shipped whiskey in different
parts of the county last week.
Messrs. Wade Chastain, of
near Pickens, and W. J. Bridges
and Ferb Finley, of Easley,
hunters of wide renown and
reputation, spent two days last
week hunting in the Rock Bot
tom section of the county with
much success. Among the ani
mals they killed was one of the
largest wild cats ever seen in
the county. They sent the skin
of the wild cat to a taxidermist
in Greenville and it will doubt
less be on exhibition in Easley
or Pickens.
IBill Bowen, one of the best
known and most respected col
ored citizens of this county, died
at his home near Secona church
Saturday night,after a protract
ed illness. Old Bill was an hon?
est and industrious negro and
had accumulated a nice prop
perty. He was a small boy in
slavery time and belonged to the
Loopers of this county and his
ways were typical of the'6Id
time darky. Years ago, before
The Sentinel put in an engine,
Bill used to turn the "big" press
every week and he always did
his work quietly and well, never
shirking. He leaves a large
family. His body was laid to
iest in the colored people's sec
tion of Secona cemetery.
Last Sunday saw the inaug
uration of the "blue laws" in
Pickens, and now nothing but
medicine can be bought here on
Sunday, and it is said that you
have to be pretty sick before
ou can get any medicine. You
have to be suffering from some
thing at least as bad ;;s a snake
bib it is said. Picktns has had
a Su a closing law for some
years, -h- s not been en
forced, beca ie majority of
the peoplc did n eem to be in
favor of it being rig' ly enforced.
We understand th a recently
circulated petition v~ s the cause
tof law being put bac into effect.
In regard to the unday law
Pickens is now in t class with
Columbia, Anders n, Easley
and Rice's Crossing.

The South for 50 years an All Cotton Country is today
staggering-hundreds of thousands of her farmers without
food or homes-not knowing which way to turn-it's a hor

bring us our rewards. So Act Today-fill out the following
