EMI Some More History of 1 Old Pickens District By N. BooNa CAREY W ILLIAM L. ]KEITH was-the fltet 'erk of thet court of common plead' for Old Pickens district,. served twenty eight years consecutively and died in office. He was very pop ular and a remarkable man was never defeated for any of fice though often opposed by good and strong men. He was the father of our late brilliant W. C. Keith, who will be remem bered by many of your readers as one of the best lawyers in the upper part of the State. There was another son, Elliott M., also a lawyer, who Is said to have been no less brilliant and able than W. C. Besides these there were Thomas, John and Marvin, The first two (lied or were killed t in our civil war, the latter hav- t Ing died in Mississippi seveial I years ago.There were two daugh- I ters, Mrs. Mary Towns and Mrs. Eliza Earle, both now of Green ville. Many descendents of the Keith family are living in Pick ens, Greenville, Anderson and Oconee counties and are among the most respectable and influ ential citizens of their respective counties.. Col. Keith was succeeded in the clerk's office by James E. Hagood, who is well remembered by many of us as a most effici ent officer, kind and genial gentleman. He represented the county of Pickens one or two terms in the legislature and for many years was clerk of the United States distirict court of South Carolina. le died a few years ago. LIe was the father of A'. M. llagood and James E. of Easley, B. A. Hagood of Charleston, and Mrs. Mary Alex ander of Picktns. All havesuc (ceeded well in life. Mr. Hagood was the last, clerk of the old dis trict, so it will be seen there were onl y t wo clerks during the existence of the district. I have heard my mother say that i; the early days of O:d Pickens there stood a pillory and public whipping post on the public . square where certain malefactors were punished for their misdeeds. I sometimes think this method of punish Iment would be1 more effective in I preventing crime than that of ' the present day. Within a mile of the old court " house site there is a small plot of ground called the "gallows lot.,"' w here those condemned t.C i dleath were publicly hanged, 3 Several wvere there publicly exe >cuted without any of t he priyacy 3 or electrical refinement of th( r' Present (lay. Criminals wert - punished in those days-juron~ ,were not so merciful and gov t ern~ors so tendler-heartedl as son a( , have been since. Thel nlegroOe of that community say the "'gal lows lot'' is "'hauin ted' " and1 care i fully avoid it at night. Chick - en roosts andl wvatermelons neardl a there woId be seenre't.

An ounce of prevention E counts more than a millon swats. E The week between April 5 and 11 has been designated by Governor Manning as "cleanup week" in all of the towns in South Carolina, and let us hope Pickens will not make a farce of it. In the case of Mr. Johnson, if the constitution were followed. he would be ineligible to be judge of the new western judicial district. But, as the Newberry Observer puts it., "What's the constitution among friends?" Greenville News says whi+ key is quoted at $1.25 a pint in that city since the gallon-a month hkker law went into ef fect. There is none in Pickens at any price, so the Morally Stunted say. S i n c e t h e gallon-a-month liquor law becane effective there is a noticeable absense of empty whiskey bottles to clutter up the vacant I o t s a n d alleyways. After "cleanup week" there should be nione in evidence at all. Over two hundred saloons in Newv Orleans have gone out of business for the want of patron age. If "hard times" does that well for prohibition they should prav for more of it, instead of asking for laws that can or will niof be en) forced. Billy Sunda.y has refused an iniv ita tion t o go to Paris, France, to carry on a religious revival. HeI says there is ''hell enough in this country" to keep him busy. Billy is right, only he might have added, "And then some." Music Hath Charms The Youth's Companion tells a story of a young man in Mad rid, Spain, back in 1868, who succeeded in subduing a mad (dened mob b~y getting a band of musicians together and parad ing the streets, playing rag-time pieces and popular national airs, and wvhen the mob tired of this the young man mounted goods b~oxes and told funny tales to the populace. By nightfall the mob subsided and wvent home and to bed. Thue charms of music Is thus shown; it makes One's mind forget the turmoil and strife of the present. That young man, wvho was only 22 years old, (lid more good in his night's work than all the crowned heads of Europe are (oing today. TIhe only music the poor devils in the trenches hear Is that made by the roar of cannon, the scream of shell, and the moans of the dying and wounded; while at the homes they left so short a while ago there is no music save that of the weeping mothers and the crying of the half-starved chil dren. For be It known that thousands in Europe are at star vation's door, and vet the war is less than a year old.
