The boys seem enthusi astic and new members are expected all along. Officers have been elected, as follows: F. V. Clayton, scout mas ter: Theo Smith, leader of Whipporwill Patrol; Ralph Parsons, leader of Bob White Patrol; Charlie Cureton, Jr., scout scribe. The Scouts meet every Monday and Thursday night. Prof. Clayton has had much experience in Boy Scout work, having organized the boys of several town. The Boy Scouts of America is a well known and highly successful organiza tion of this country and has many mem bers. The aim of the organization may be found in its two slogans which are "Do a Good Turn Daily" and "Be Pre pared. The three principles of Loyalty, Patriotism and Chivalry are instilled in Boy Scouts, and each member subscribes to the following oath: "On my honor I will (1o my best: To 'do my duty to God and my country and to obey the scout law; to help other people at all times; to keel) myself physically strong, men tally awake and morally straight." The Pickens Scouts have already or-1 ganized a baseball team and they expect to take a hike or two soon. No boy under twelve years of age may belong. In each town where there is a Boy Scout organization there is a troop committee of three prominent citizens, who take an interest in the work and make suggestions for the benefit of the boys. The troop committee at Pickens consists of Judge T. J. Mauldin, Dr. F. S. Porter and J. P. Carey, Jr. The Pickens Boy Scouts are as fol lows: Theo. Smith, B. C.

Mr. Alvy Griffin, a well known citizen of the Dacusvillle section, died at his home near Dacusville, on the 30th ult.. from paralysis. Hie was about 64 years of age, is survsved by a wife andl soy eral children, all about grown. One son is in the United States army. ,The funeral and interment were held at D.acusville on the (lay following. Mr. E3riffin was a member of the D~acusville !'ethodist church and was wvell thought >fnan honnet, christar man in te Pickens County Bridges Editor Pickens Sentinel: Without reflections on anyone, I wish to say a few things about our bridges. Undoubtedly, the bridges of Pickens county are the worst in the state, unless we give thanks to the existence of Oconee county. The rule, and not the exception, seems to be bridges above the roadbed, middle spans' below the roadbed with the planks heaped up not nailed down-at irregulr intervals. Going from Pickens to Liberty a short time ago, I had to stop and repair a bridge before I could cross. The bridge had fallen off one bank of the branch, three planks were out of place and the surroundings were such that you could not have forded the branch anywhere near. Then, only yesterday, I started to a point six miles above Pickens. While crossing a bridge composed of four planks, one of the four tr ied for a heavenly flight, which was stopped only after tearing off a duspan and slitting a casing--and rubber is higher than nails. Why not have a nail or two in the bridge and save the expense of buying a crip pled horse or an axle and wheel for an automobile? There is a bridge about one-third of a mile from the Alice cotton mill which is a disgrace to any county in our country. Every time I cross this bridge with a stranger I say, "Here is the line be tween Pickens and Greenville county.'' This bridge is near Mr. Robinson's home, on the road from Pickens to Easley. Anyone having traveled from one place to the other distinctly remem bers it. If this bridge is not rebuilt soon the county will have to pay for someone's life! It is becoming so that anyone hates to go off the main street of a town! Per sonally, I feel sorry that I haven't a big life insurance policy every time I go to cross a bridge! If these bridges are not soon bettered there will be a clause in our life insurance policies which will read like this: "This corn pany is not liable for accidents on Pick county bridges." Let's fix these places r at least don't make them so doggone high that it is certain death for one to fall in! Q, .1. cc . c Iom MI. Gilstraj) EdIitoi Pickens Sentinel: In the issue of ''hie Sentinel for weekj Jefore last I notice that you say that the mass-meetings which are being held in various parts of the county might do harm. In reply I want to say that the people have that right its guaranteed Iy the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Let anybody who doubts this right of the peolple to assemble turn to Amendment I of the Constitution, which reads: "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press or the right of the people to assemble peace ably and petition congress for a redress of grievances. . - Now, this right of the people has never been denied before, during war or peace, and if we are to be depriv'ed of it now, then our government is setting .1 bad example when it pretends to be ighting for ."worl dlemocracy."' To ~ry to suppress these meetings ei ther y intimidation or by any other means ,vould be a step) in the direction of hav zg a dictatorship. A democratic gov ernment (if it is really democratie) should give the peCople this right, and we ire not going to surrender this right to iewspaper editors or anybody else. No treason has been committed or idvocated at any of these meetings. On hie other hand, the meetings hav'e been eaceable and1( the people have been ad ised to use lawvful methods. At our Cedar Rock meeting wve even iad the oflicers of the law with us one Lime and they decided that we did noth ng which was unlawful. Let no one e afraid of attending these meetings. Y"ou can not commit treason by dloing so. 'he Constitution plainly says what treason is--that it must be an overt act lgainst the government. Get it clear n your hends now that you can not comn 'nit treason by anything you say or wvrite. There is no law even to keep a -nan from criticizing the congress or the resident; no, not even in times of war. L ARRIYC. GISTRAP. e CeekFarersOrganize.

DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE UP AGAINST It appears from news which leaked out of Germany, in spite of the unus ually close censorship, that the German officials are telling their men and women that the American troops will cut little figure in the big war. If the German people knew what they were up against they would refuse to listen to such fool ish assertions. The funniest part of 't is that they claim that Americans can't think quick enough. What a joke! That's our reputation--quick to think. The Ger mans will find that out soon enough. In the meantime, we at home should get ready for the big drive. Of course we can't all go to the front aut we can do our hit in just as import mt a manner right here at home.
