L. B. O'Dell, ejdjgiapt':Nr den of Piekens county, is promoting a hunter's club that should prove a fine thing for lover's of this sport throughout this section. Mr. O'Dell': idea is to stock the mountains above Pickens w'th turkeys. and then allow members of the club to hunt these turkeys dinin the season. So far he is meetin with hearty co-opera - ticn. Mir. Wade Chastain, who controls some 64.000 acres of land in the northern part of the county, and Mr. WV. R. Pi ice, wvho owvns some 2. t;00 acr'es, and ethei s have agreed to give the use of their land and protect the game that is turned out until the time is rp for hunting. Mr. O'Dell has already received the promise cf about~ forty turkeys. The membership fee of this club will be ene turkey, or. the price of a turkey. There wo'uld 1e no limit to the number of me'mbers, the more mcmbers the more turkeys, although a limit would be plaed~ on the nunm ber of turkeys each member could kill during the season. The bus'iess men of Anderson andl other cities, who are innterested in making the ncew Brevard highway the playground of South Carolina, will be asked to co-opeiate and Mr. O'D'ell believes that the mountains of this sectioni can be stocked with hundreds and hundreds of turkeys in a short timie.

For a while work was stopped on this road, but a new contract has been let, go ing tc J B. Ross, Jr. Mr. Ross stated that. the road would be completed in a comparative ly short period of time. If necessary he will put on a day and night force, and would in all probabil:ty have two steam shovels in place of one. Quite a bit of excitement was caused on last Thursday when the first steam shovel was unloaded. As it went through town a large number of people follow d. wondering how it would get under the telephone c-a bles. This did cause some trouble, but today it is far on its way toward the mountains. Mr. Ross also stated that he could put his hand on 500 men at any time, and if occasion demanded, Bald Knob, Sliding Mt., Round Top, and other of our famous Mt. Peaks would re sound with the noise of workmen. combined with the blasts of dynamite and the ruinbling of steam shovels. Work has really been resumed, and all Pickens county is glad. With the completition of this road, marks the beginning of a new era for Pickens.
