PickenB County, 8. O.


I ...... g., ~,.t.
This county ID in the State OF Sout1r
Carolina, and embraces, perhaps,r a
greater variety ofthe GIFTS OF NATURE,
than the same amount Of territory in
any other section south of tho line of
the Blue Ridge mountains, which is
the northern line. It consequently
includes the southern slope of it's
portion Of these mountains, composed
OF a varied assortment of rich hills
and valleys, ch eckered with it's MANY
beautiful rivalets, creeks an d branch"
es OF pure water, 90 clear that a pin
may be seem in some Of them at O
depth of from three to seven feet.
These streams abound with a variety
Of fish, from the salt water shad In
the Keowee-the western boundary
to the jumping sucker, leaping up
the shoals on tho smaller streams
descending the valleys. The water
conrees of this county all head south
of tho line with North Carolina, which
is the meandering ridge on top of the
Blue Ridge, and generally make
thoir course in a southwestern direC-
ton, on the west side of tho county
to the beautiful Keowee; on the east
sldo in southeastern direction to the
rich valley of tire Sauda. These
streams all have more or less valley
Tor bottom land, as it is called) which
ia rich, productive and continually
fed from the slopes of the hills on
either side. Much Of The northern
portion has not been disturbed since
the the Red man left it, and yet re-
mains quiet as when left by the hand
of nature, except when entered by
the seeker of game, with his horn,
dogs and gun. The southern half of
this county begins at the foot of the
slope of these hills, which as it we're.
build the southern side OF the grand
old Blue Ridge, and breaks off in a
beautiful level plane, interspersed
with its streams, running in divers1-
he'd directions through moro thickly
settled section OF the county, and
through which runs the AIRLINE
hallway. In this portion of the coun-
ty by use of fertilizers or manures,
one acre Of land is frequently made
to produce one bale of cotton, twenty
tive bushels of wheat, and from thirty
to forty bushels of corn and other
products in proportion.
From the results Of the late war.
this county remains undo veloped.--
Very few improved Implements for
farming have been introduced, the
old system of labor being kept up.
There is, perhaps, no section on tho
North American continent that has
80 many advantages for factories az
this. The county has its idle water
sites, its virgin timbors, it's mineral
resources, with its powers of produc-
ton, all blended, which whom prop
erly utilized, will make Pickens
county second to none south of the
Blue Ridge. '''.
Tho crops of this whole section of
county, now beng gathered, are nm
usually large, produce is cheap and
land is now cheap. The capitalist
can doubtless make investm ents In
this county that will soon and abun-
dainty pay. Go, see, and yon will
find that this is no exaggerated ac-

The Usury Law


AS the time for the meeting of the
General Assembly draws nigh the
people should be alive to the best in-
terests of the country, and urge upon
their Legislators the enactment of
such laws as will advance the gener-
al peace and prosperity of our dear
redeemed Carolina. Urge upon our
representatives the great Importance
of placing the farmer and the labor
or upon an equality with the more
fortunate, and in many cases, the
more rascally capitalists, who, under
Hsdica! rule, have been able to live
upon the high and unjust rates of in
terest demanded from the "bone and
sinew of the land" One of tho most
injurious and unjust laws that has
como down to us through the corrup
tions of that monstrosity, Radicalism.
is that which permits one who lends
money to charge fifteen, twenty, or
thirty per centum interest. The ae-
ricnltural interests, in fact, the gen
oral prosperity of the State, call for
tho enactment of reasonable and
equitable usury law. 1t must be
passed at the next session of our
Legislature. 1t is hardly necessary
to argue that this high late of inter
est effects tho farmer, although he
may never borrow, and whatever
operates against his progress is
curse to any country. Hundreds OF
brave hearts have been crushed in
the attempt to build up farm which
wonld' pay the individual and prove
blessing to his fellow mon, crushed
by the unbearabie weight Of interest,
which, with the substance of tho
hardest kind of labor, fuds q resting
place in the capacious pockets of the
capitalist. Hundreds of acres Of on,
best lands lie idle and unlmproyeC
because he wb" holds tho money car
live sumptuously upon the interest,
without work; while he who would
till these fields and cause them to
blossom as the rose has not the means
and cannot borrow and pay the usury
demanded. And again, hundreds of
