Capt. R. A. Fisher
Meets Tragic Death
it A sad and shocking accident happened
on the Pickens railroad near the Alice
is; Cotton Mill last Friday and resulted in
. i the death of Capt. R. A. Fisher, who
y had been section foreman for the road
, for the past seventeen years. Mr.
Fisher with several others were riding
d on a small gasoline motor car when a
r large jack lever fell from the car in
front and upset it, throwing him off and
overturning the car on him. No one
d else was hurt. The injured man was
rushed to Easley, where all possible
medical attention was given him and
t the Greenville hospital ambulance was
phoned for to come and take him to the
hospital. lie was placed in the ambu
lance but died on the way to Greenville
between two and three o'clock. lieI
had been injured on the head and back
and probably internally. The accidentf
occurred about 10.50 o'clock.
Mr. Fisher was born at Abbeville,
July 5, 18(33, and came to Pickens sev
enteen years ago to take the place as
I section foreman of the Pickens railroad.
lie was a quiet and modest man who
attended strictly to his own affairs and
it is doubtful if he had an enemy in the
world. Many are the hearts 'that are
sad because of his tragic death. He
was never married, but is survived by
his aged mother, Mrs. Sarah Fisher, of
P'ickens, two sisters, Mrs. I). 8. Finney
of Pickens, and Mrs. J. E. Tollhson ofI
Laurens, and two brothers, W. B. and
'T. F. Fisher of Anderson.
The funeral service was held in the
Pickens Methodist church and conducted 1
by Rev. E. '1'. IIodges. Mr. Fisher was
a member of the Woodmen of the
World and he was buried in the Pickens j
cemetery with the honors of that order. ii
'he pall bearers were Messr.. C. L.
Cureton, II. A. Nealy, F. (. Ailgood,
F. R. Moon, \V. C. lendricks, J. A.
Pickle.
A dispatch from Columbia says the
railroad commission has ordered a meet
ig to he held at Pickens on August 9
upon a petition for the establishment of I
telegraph and express service here. If i
our people really want this service they
should be prepared for this meeting and
ready to furnish any information they
may be called upon for. Get busy and
let's have that express ofice, anyway.

John S. O'Brien, of the Comptroller
General's office, was in Pickens las
week checking up the county treasurer';
books and getting things in shape fo
the new treasurer to take charge o1
the oflce. This checking up resultei
about the same as that made by Mr.
Bradley some timb ago and found a
shortage in the office of something over
$4,400, but the ex-treasurer has made
payments which reduce the shortage to
$3,380.42. The auditor's books were
also checked up and found correct.

A Mixed Up Affair
)ear Mr. Editor; If you publish this
letter you head it "A Mixed Up Affair."
I notice an article in your paper that
has been running for some time headed
"Go to Church.'' All right; that's
food. Now I have a few questions to
nsk concerning going to church.
1. What church does the writer want
ne to go to? l it the Baptist. Metho
list, Wesleyan Methodist, Presbyterian,
seventh Day Adventist, or the Roman
atholic church that our editor an
nounced the dedication of some few
eeks ago at Walhalla?
2. 'Then what must. I go for? To hear
he preacher preach raise more food -
tud's, buy liberty bonds, Prepare to go
:) France to kill a (e'rran or give
honey to send the gospel to China where
he People are dying and going to hell
n ignorance?
come on with your rat-killing.
!'hose juestions are fair and honest.
Now someone ;answer them. To give
you a little idea of what I am striking
at I will give you a little scripture:
Matthew 23:1.1 and 21: \Voe unto you
scribes and p'harise.s, hypocrites, for
ye devour widow,' houses and for a
pretense make long Prayers; therefore,
ye shall receive the greater damnation.
2 1. Ye blind guides which strain at a
gnat and swallow a camel.
