RkAIER'TY ENJOYS STEADY
GROWTH.
"Fasthet Greving Town in the State"
Residents Call it; no Business
Failures.
'Ae growth and development of
Liberty, the fastest growing town in
the state, reads more like a romance
than actual facts. From a popula
- tion of 368 in 1900 the town jump
ed to 1,068 in 1910 and last year
when Uncle Sam checked up the folk
who live betwveen the Atlantic and
the Pacific, a total of 1,705 persons
gave Liberty as their home town.
But the town has not stopped
growing since that time, despite the
period of depression Which has grip
ped the nation. Business men, bank
- ~ ers and others here do not talk hard
times. If -there has been any hard
times it is a thing of the past, Lib
erty business men say. And they
believe every word of that statement.
The business houses which were
buyings and selling goods when the
period of depression began are still
going on in the even tenor of their'
way. With the exception of one, or
two minor concerns which were in
business for only a short time, there'
have been no failures recorded here.
The new school building, costing
approximately $57,000, was occupied
last October but it was not until a
few weeks ago that it was completed.
The' erection of this structure was
made necessary by.. the constant
growth of Liberty and the increasing
number of children appyling for ad
ad mission to the chools.
J. F. Bannister, president of the
Liberty Bank and one of the town's
livest wires, talked interestingly of
the g'rowth of this Pickens county
town. Mr. .Bannister came to Lib
erty seventeen years ago when there
were only three brick buildings in
the entire town and only 450 per
sons called this home.
Today the actual number of resi
dents inside of the town limits is not
far from 2,000, while there are 33
brick buildings on Liberty street.
The growth of the town has not
been confined to the number of in
habitants nor to the number of busi
ness houses There are in the town
today two church buildings, the Bap
tist and Presbyterian, each of which
represent an outlay of approximate
ly $15,000.
Liberty also has a fertilizer mix
ing plant, the Franklin Guano com
pany, which has a daily capacity of
75 tons. The ingredients are brought

NEW ROAD BEING OPENED.
Pickens County to Have Outlel
Through Blue Ridge Mountains.
Residents of Pickens county art
rejoicing that approximately one.
third of the road between Pickem
and the North Carolina line has beer
graded and topsoiled and that the
work will be pushed to completior
as rapidly as possible.
This road, known by the Stat(
Ihighway department olli--ials as th
"Pickens-North Carolina line high
way," is 22 miles in length and con
nects Pickens with !Hrevard anc
Transylvania county. North Carolina
It crosses the ilue lRidee mountain
at Eastatoc galp, said to be the low

tains. The grade on this road is no
over five per cent, it. wa. stat e'! '
Sunerv:sor J. T. Alelinnev. Tha
tIhis is an excellent bit of engineer
Ig is evid('ent, wheti it is considere(
that many roads traversing th+
mountains have a grade of from if
teen to eighteen per cent.
''his road is being built from the
proceeds of the 6 1-4 mill levy pass

that hundreds of persons will use
