Easley is the metropolis of ['ickens county. It is already a live town with good business, attractive residences, growing industries, good schools and churches and mighty fine people. Not content With things as they are, it is proposed that the municipality shall have an adequate sewerage system and paved streets. At the last session of the general assembly acts were passed , enabling Easley to vote upon the issu ance of bonds in the n:nount of $21,000 for the construction and maintenance of a sewerage system and upon a consid erable anun t forstreet paving. Wheth er these honds will h:- voted the News does not know, bu.t in the event that * they are, watch Easley grow. 'T'here is no reason why Easley should not increase l:a population at a rapid rate, for its growth in this respect is marked. Ac cording to the last census, Easley had more people than any other municipality in P'ickens ecnty amp! the township in the townslhi1 in which it is situated en joyed like distinction. In 181.0 Easley had but .121 inhabitants, in 1900 it had 933, but in 110 it had 2,983 people. By this time it, must have between 4,000 and 5,000 population. I ts rate of growth was very considerably higher than that of any other town in the county. If it keeps up it will have as many people in fact as Spartanburg has in fiction. With alvwed streets and a sewerage system which will protect the health of its citi zens, Easley will be a regular magnet for population, a more comfortable and sightly municipality as well as more prosperous generally. Progress seems to be knocking at Easley's door and, if we mistake not, Easley is going to be the New York of the section between Greenville and the Georgia line. It is one of the termini of the Pickens Rail road system and all travelers and tour ists from the North and West to Pick ens Court H-ouse get to see something of this thriving metropolis. Easley has wealth, health, happiness anid a future of progress and prosperity. H-as it jever occurred to you that a worn-out range-wastes money in burn ing too much fuel and spoiling food?
