Carolina'
Getting 'ightoof
road From Joca
Preilihary steps are now being
taken which will lead to the biggest
industrial development in, the history
of -Pickens county within the next
few ygars.
Wade H. Chastain, general agent
for the Carelina Timber Co., is now
engaged in securing rights-of-way
- for a railroad to. be built from Jo
- eassee, twenty miles above Pickens
and just over the line in Oconee
county, to the town of Pickens, and
if the necessary rights-of-way can
b- secured within a reasonable length
of time the next step of actual con
struction of the railrdad will be begun
without delay, according to authentic
information obtained by The Sentinel.
Plans for the building pf the pro
posed railroad have' been under way
for several years and are ps fully
developed as can be up to the point
of securing the right-of-way and
selecting the 'exact route, but this is
the first news of it that has been
given to the public. The road will l
be built by the Carolina Timber Co.
as an outjet for its timber in Pickens I
and Oconee' counties. 9
The Carolina ,Timber Co., a mem
ber of the strongest timber land fac
tors in, the United States, own 64,000
acres of timber land in Pickens and
Oconee counties, most of which is in
Pickens. This vast tract contains im.
mnense quanties of white pine, yellow
pine, poplar, chestnut, hickory and all
other timbers known to this region
and is the finest single tract of tim
ber in the Southern Appalachians if
not in the United States. '
It is estimated that it will take at
least twenty years to cut and move
the timber now on this tract. The
proposed road would run right into
the heart of the Carolina Timber Co.
holdings and this enormous amount
of timber would be hauled out over
it:
ieft aheve this 64,000 acres is an
cther timber tract of many thousands
of ars owned by another company
and this timber would also be hauled
over the proposed road.
The Timber Co. has three routes in
view for the roan' Present plans ,r
cording to reliable information, are
to built the road from Jocassee down
Whitewater and Eastatoe rivers to
Pickens and connect with .the South
ern railway at or near Easley, or
build to Walhalla and connect with
the 'Blue Ridge railway there or
build to Calhoun and connect with
the Southern at that point.
While it has definitely been decided
to build the road along one of these
routes the exact one has not finally
been selected. No doubt the attitudr
of the people along the proposed
routes will have much to do with the
final selection of the route.
Plans for the railroad hAve pro
gressed so far that it is known that
electricity is being considered as the
motive power for it. As high author
ities state that all, railroads in the
United States will ultimately be elec.
trified is is hardly too much to state
that this new road will be run with
electricity. A semi-official statement
is that the Timber Co. may' develop
its own p)ower from streams on its
property or current may be furnished
* by the Southern Power Co. There are
seftral streams in the Timber Com
-pany's territory which will develop
thousands of horsepower.
In this connection The Sentinel is
reliably infoemed that the Southern
Power Co. wanted to stringj~ a ,line
,,rom Lake Toxaway through the. Caro
lina Timber Co. property and on
through Pickens as early as 1910, but
could not get a satisfactory agree
ment with the owners of Lake Toxa
way dam property.
As stated before, plans for building
the road have been under way for
several years and are fully worked
out. Everything Is ready for wvork
to begin as soon as the necessary
right-of-way is secured and the exact
route definitely 'laid out.
*The Carolina Timber Co. is backed
by unlimited capital and is able to put
through any project it play undertake.
"r It has head officies in. Chicago with
branch offices in New York, Seattle
and Portlanid. During the war this
company was of invaluable aid to e
government, furnishing much fore y
- information which the government ex..
ports did not have andl also gavs the
government use of ltu large' spruce
pine tracts in .Oregen-'where most of
the wood material gr ?irplanes was
obtained.
If Pickens should "get this railroad
-it would be the b esot thing ..that
* ever -happenp toi t1It , for within
a comparatly. short'. tme there
-would be bu~l hero the argest lurnber
mill in this secttiit1 the country,
large acid plants and tanneries, ma-.
chine shops,'etc., 'of the Timber Co,
other manufacturpg 'plant's would
naturally follow and ultimately we
would have 'a railroad aeross -the.
Theris pln Lio me, lowever,
for Pickens ttakabdut getting 'the
thints which will follow the railroad.
What we want'to do ngte is to let
the Carolina Timber CQ, know *e
want them, to come bet'e and that
they have our good will and coopera-.
tion. T1he Timber Co. is not going to,
Timber.C
ray to Build Rail
ssee to Pickens
ask ybody to give them anything.
They have 'ample resources of their
own, but naturally they would prefer
to operate in communities which are
favorable to them. Several of the
company's officials have visited Pick
ens in the past few years and are very
pleasantly remembered here.
Mr. Chastain, who has been gener
al agent here for the Timber Co. many
years, is looking after the local situa
tios and states that he is meeting
with encouragement in Securing right..
of-way.

Price, and while in makjing this big
reduction we have tak~n upon our

reduc~on -of manufacturing costs,
stilltinat task, In my opinion, is not
larger than the farier's problem of

PICKENS COUNTY GROWS
FINEST COTTON.
"Uncle Buck" Singletonwas a mar
of great common sense, and a keer
observer. In the days long ago peo.
ple often rode horseback when the)
went to Pickers. It was in such s
way that we overtook Uncle Buck
He delighted in speaking of the natur
al advantages that our county had
and on this occasion .he ended hiE
eulogy by pointing to the road over
which we were passing, and said "It
is this red clay that makes PickenE
what she is"
Dr. O. F. Cook, Biologist in the
United States Department of Agri
culture, is a noted Scientist. He is
regarded as the greatest authority
in the world on cotton. He is u
mdlionaire; but no man who is forced
to work for a living puts forth more
energy than does Dr. Cook in this
study in which he delights. He visits
all parts of the world where cottor
is cultivated, or where it grows wild.
lie has visited our county twice to
< bserve its growth here. On his last
v:,it he pointed to our red soil, and
asked, "Do you know the secret of
your superior cotton?" and then gave
the answer, "It is yrir .clay."
We have before referred to the fact
that the Department of Agriculture
wishing to ascertain whether out
claims were well foundsd or not,
gathered a number of bales from va
rious sections of the cotton belt and
sent them to a famous textile insti
tute in Massachusetts, where they
each were subjected to the same ex
haustive tests. The result was that
the bale from Pickens county, and
one from Gastonia, surpassed all
others. These two bales you see were
from the Piedmont. The bulletin sum.
ming up results says, "The geograph
ical comparison is interesting."
It is a well known fact that wher
a bale of cotton is prepared for spin.
ning there is a loss to the mill. It
fixing a price that may be paid 161
cotton this loss is taken into account
It is called the "commercial~ calcula
tion from waste." In this test whici
we are reviewing it developed tha
the bale from our county had so little
waste in it that the mill buying i
would get $12.26 worth more of spin
nable cotton than the average bale
would contain. This was basing th,
price at 20cts' pet pound. So muel
for the uniformity of our county'
cotton.
Again-recently samples 'from flv
bales were sent to the Bureau o:
Markets with the request that they
be graded. In the reply the informa
tion they gave closed with this sig
nificant sentence: "The samples sent
showed such a high grade, some be.
ing strict good middling that they
will command an additional premium
of 300 points."
Now to sum up: Expert graders
and classers find cotton grown in out
county \vhich is worth three cents
above market price on account of the
grade which our land can grow.
Put to actual mill test a bale is
found which contains $12.26 worth
of cotton more than the average bale
on account of its uniformity.
A keen witted and observing sor
of our county who was once with us
told us it was so, and
A distinguished scientist tells us
why it is so.
Nowv there is a question we wisi
every one of our farmcers to put tc
himself: "'What premium do I get foi
making this cotton ? God has lavishly
provided me wvith a soil and climat<
to make a superior product; the work
finally pays for it. Why dloni ? al.
ways get what it is worth?''
Next week we wvish to write aboul
the business farmer, and howv he gol
there.
This will be written for our fan
wvomen. C.
