Planting More Food
stuffs in Pickens Co.
Farmers from every section of Pickens
county report that more foodstuff is
being planted in this county this year
than ever before. The farmers seem
to be awake to the situation and know
that the salvation of the country de
pends upon them.
People in town are also paying more
attention to planting gardens. Dr.
Hallum at the Pickens Drug Co. store
says that he has sold more garden seeds
this spring than ever before, and the
same is true at other stores.
The present indications are that with
good seasons the people of Piekens
county will not have to call on other
sections of the country for something
to eat this yeur.
New Oolenoy School
House Is Completed
OOLE1NOY, April 22.-The finish
ing of' a coat of white paint practi
cally completes the replacing of the
Oolenoy graded school building that
was destroyed by fire a few days be
fore the Christias holidays. The
work was hegun the 3d of January.
DuriT'Wthat month and the one, fol
lowing the greater part of the vork
was done-without even a glance
at the weather calendar for that
length of time we can readily recall
those extreme conditions-with stoic
perseverance a squad of hands work
ed at the building while others, with
teams oftentimes ankle deep ini mud
or with their "shoulder to the wheel"
of their own or a neighbor's wagon,
to hel1) out of a bad pull, were en
gaged in the arduous task of laying
down .the lumber and other building
imate rial.
The contract was let to W. F.
llendrick3 for the sum of $2,100,
but those who are in position to es
tiniate the actual cost are of the
opinion that this will fall far short.
The material throughout has been of
the be't. The structure is a two-story
one, the lower to be used for class
rooms, the upper to be fitted up as
an auditorium. It is modeled from a
plan given out by the State and is in
every respect modern. Plans abreast
of the times were insisted upon. In
many respects it is superior to the
Old building-- -mistakes which were
made in the one were corrected in
the other.
The spirit in which the citizens
met this crisis which arose at the
destruction of their school building
is most notevorthy. They had sus
tained a great loss-the loss of a
building which was practically new
----a small debt still hung over it. It
had been a hard struggle to get it.
Many were opposed to the undertak
ing. They thought that it would be
out of keeping with other surround
ings--but at last it was built-a
pioneer, it stood in all this up-see
tion. With its white coat, nestling
as it were among the green hills,
cuts of it were shown in educational
jouirnals. Passersby rt iced and coni
mented on it. Old people nodded ap
provingly at it and spoke of the prog
ress of the times. All were proud of
it. But history is ever repeating it
self. Memory goes back to the Judas
of the twelve J)iseinle-; -to Bene-I
diet Arnold of his time :and others I
of ignoble fame.
For a traitor had likewise arisen
in our very midst, and at an early
hour on that leaden Decembher night
he left that magnificent school house
in char're-l ruins. But thanks and
honor to the courage of these citi
zens who arose' with a dletermination
to re-build and to do it better than
bef ore- -to take another step near
townard the ideal--"Truth c rushedl to
earth will rise again."'

WANT TELEGRAPH
OFFICE ESTAB
Efforts are now being made to
get an express office and telegraph
office established in Pickens, as the
following self-explanatory letters
Will indicate. Other developments
will likely soon take place regarding
the establishment of these offices
here and we hope to keel) our read
ers posted as to. them.
Following is a copy of a letter
written by Sam B. Craig, Esq., to
Frank W. Shealy, member of the
South Carolina Railroad Commis
sion:
Pickens, S. C., April 19, 1917.
lion. Frank W. Sheal'y, R. R. Com
missioner for S. C.
Columbia S C.:
Dear Mr. Sheafy:
The citizens of Pickens are very
anxious to get an express office anl
a telegraph office located at Pick
ens. As it now stands we have to
plhone all of our telegrams to Green.
ville, S. C., a distance of 20 miles
and frequently the line is busy and
connection bad, and we are forced
to send all telegrams and receive all
telegrams by phone.
T'he neurest express office is loca
ted at Easley, S. C., a distance of
eight miles from Pickens.
Under the present system we have
to pay forty cetits to get an express
package from Greenville, S. C., a
distancen 20 miles and the same pack
ae can be sent from Greenville, S.
C., to Walhalla, S. C., a distance of
about R0 miles, for 25 cents. This
seems to us that it is an injustice
and we beg to get this matter be
fore your Board for your consiider
ation, and shall be glad that-you ad
v+ie me what. s'l.a you require of
us to get it before you. Please write
me if we will have to take this mat
ter u) before you by petition and
about when can we be heard on the
watter.
The business of this place has
--rown so that we feel as it would
pay either of the companies to place
an office at this place. The town has
cotton mill, two banks, oil mill coun
ty seat, and some of the best retail
m1eraillf.He establishments in the up
per part of the state. The town of
Pickelns ;i not the only argumient
that we have for this matter. The
territory north of Pickens and west
of Pickens, is fine farming country
and in fact this office would affect
one-half of the farming interest of
P.ickens county.
We have o.ne of the largest voting
piecincts in the state, voting here
and at the Pickens Mill almost one
thousand votes.
In giving you better idea of the
people that would be served from
these offices, we have six rural mail
routes and one star route.
Thanking: you for giving this mat
te- proi.mpt attention, advising me
at your. earliest convenient time, I
am Truly yours,
SANT 1. CRAIG.

Twelve Mile Union
Meeting Was Good
The Twelve Mle River union met
with the Fall Creek church April 28,
1917. Rev. E. M. Bolding, moderator,
and Bro. James Finley, clerk, were at
their places.
The introductory sermon was preach
ed by Rev. R. F. Jones. Then came the
real expression of the genuine hospital
ity of these good people. Itis sufficient
to say plenty of dinner was on the
ground for the whole crowd.
In the afternoon the union assembled
and began its program work. First
came the organization, in which Rev.
R. A. Hudson and J. 1). Vickery were
elected moderator and clerk, respect
ively.
The first query: (an a person be a
true Baptist without having a real mis
ion spirit? was opened by Rev. J. A.
Bond and discussed by Brethren E. M.
Holding, C. R. Abererombie, .1. 1).
Vickery, R. A. Hudson, H P. Murphree,
R. F. Jones and David Ramey. The
lsver: No person can be a true Bap
ist without he exercise a true mission
;pirit as God shines the light on him.
Then cane the second query: What
s the du(y and responsibility of the
?xecutive connnittee of the Twelve Mile
River association? Opened by Rev. B.
. Murphree and discussed by Brethren
R. Abererombie, .J. A. Bond and E.
N1. Holding. The answer was to advise
'ifter becorning acquainted with exist
ing1 conditionsm.
The arranging coImi ttee was alp
)ointed, as follows: Rev. E. N. Hold
ing, Central route 2; J.. 1). Vi.ery,
C'entral rout .1; .:Joe M1assingill, Pickens
route 2.
Requests andl queries imay be sent to
either of the above brethren.
On Sunday morning the appointed
minister, M. J. Stancell was absent and
the committee selceted Rev. 1. F.
Murphree to fill his place. We think
Bro. Murphree was at his hest, as the
sermon was rcal good.
Again we en joyed another grand
feast.
