A triple astorisl1 cofresponent of the
Greenwllo News writing from Easley
says:
'''Wo see that the Pickcns Court House
people have had survey made from
their town to Liberty on tho Air Line
for dummy limo of railroad. If our
I'ickens friends nre willing to risk the
chances Of investing their money in a
tramway to their town, which is now the
county seat, but which may not be three
years honce, don't think it is any of
Easloy's business aud don't think she
Is going to make it such in any way,
shape or FORM"
1t is safo to say that the writer of
the above would not. like to rec
even dummy railroad built TO Plckens.
He did right to use the pronoun "I .
He WAS only expressing his own views.
The great majority of Easley's citizens
always speak kindly of every enterprise
for the benefit Of the county seat. They
would be glad to see her with q half
dozen railroads. The Messenger of last
week puts it mild, but it comes nearer
speaking the sentiment of the commune
ty. Easley is going ahead doing we'll
for herself, but she is far too patriotic to
say anything to discourage any enter
prise that has fer its object the upbuild-
ing of any portion of Pickens county.
Tho News correspondent spoke as if lie
! was piqued on account of the survey
having been made to Liberty instead of
| Easley--as if there was some antapo-
nlsm between Ensley and Pickens.
| 1here IS no good reason for anything of
| the kind, and nothing of the kind has
ever existed, There WAS and is an insur-
mountable barrier to running q dummy
limo to Easlcy. The Cumberland Gup
has the right of way charter, and
this cOuid not be ignored. Several OF
tho friends Of the dummy Inc were anx-
| ious to run the survey to Easley for sew
oral reasons, but the difficulty already
mentioned was sufficient answer to ey-
cry argument
"Which il now tho county seat, but
which may not be three years hence. "
He might have added with equal truth
and probability (which is now Table

rE,iic.NcNY Court HPorrn-

Architect e. B. Rutledge,. of this city,
IS engaged i'll the preparation of plans
for the repairing and enlargement Of tho
county court house ut Pickens. At tho
last General Assembly bill was passed
providing for the expenditure by tho coun-
ty commissioners of Pickens of 81, 800
IN the lmprovemen MT of the court house.
The present building is very old, entirely
too small for tho present needs of the
county and. rather diupidated, and tho
projected changes will be decidedly in
the line of efficiency and economy.
1t is thought not unlikely, however,
that tho 81, 500 appropriated will be
found insufficient to make tho improve
ments that are absolutely necessary aud
, 1t is possible that larger appropriation
may have to be provided for by the next
Legislature. To meet this emergency,
Mr.. Rutledge will prepare two sets Of
drawings, one for repairs within the g.
900 limit and tho other for the enlarge
ment of the building to double its pres.
ent slzc.-Grocnville News.
Tho writer of tho above is certainly
not acquainted with the provision of
the bill passed by the General Assem-
bly, for the enlargement of tho court
house at this place. The bill express
ly provides for tho enlargement, and
competent builders and contractors
have looked at the present building
and are satisfied that the appropria-
ton Of $4,000 is sufficient to make
the building twice as largo as it is at
present and to furnish it in first class
style. There is no need of but one
plan as it would be impossible to
make the enlargement in any other
style than the present brick building
and have it present II neat appear
ance. So let Mr.. Rutlegc submit his
plan for an addition that will make
the court house twice as large as it
now is and a contractor will be forth
coming that will do the work within
the amount allowed. Two months
seems to be ample time for any arch
itcct to have gotten up plans and
specifications for simple building
like this and if they aro not forth
coming our commissioners should
look elsewhere for them, so that the
work may be done in the best season
of tho year for work Of this kind.

need reformation in all branches Of

that the way to 60 about it is not by
antagonizing the Democratic party
but that the right place to begin and
the only way in which they can sue
ceed is by going into tho regular
Democratic convention and reforming
it. The farmers compose the major
ity of the Democratic party in this
State and they can easily put ticket
i'll the field that will be acceptable to

MAKE E8UFs LAND K'AY.

What our part Of the country now
needs is for those who own large
tracts of land that arc of little or no
value rs n source of income, to be
managed i'll such way that it may
be made productive. To-day there is
thousands Of acres Of land in this
region that would, if taken hold of
and properly handled, pay hand
some interest on the investment.
Ono of the best and easiest modes OF
doing this is to make pasture lands
out of every acre that is not suitable
for farming, by cutting down and
clearing of all worthless timber and
sowing grass seed of some kind. 1t
does not matter what variety is used.
Any kind of grass will grow here, and
stock is cheap, so that man who is
possessed Of large amount Of land
and small capital may soon have q
fine pasture and it well stocked.
This can be done by judicious man
aIcmcnt and work at odd times.
There are several months in
the year in this part of the
country that the farmers lo practi-
cally nothing, which might be made
Profitable by working on barren
lands, cutting down underbrush and
brinrs, making fences and sowing
grass seed. Some of the best pay
ing lands in Pennsylvania and Ohio
to-day, were, fifty years ago, just such
lands rs the poor hills and ridges Of
Pickcns county. Now they cannot
be bought for anything short Of a
fancy price. All this was accomplish
cd by making them into pasture
lands. 1t is useless for any one to
say that the grazing grasses will not
grow here, for they will. Our win.
tcrs are short and in 10 part Of the
United States can stock be raised to
n greater profit than here. What is
the sense in ohnmS hundreds Of
acres Of land that is covered with q
growth Of undcrbrush and worthless
tMnbcr and paying the taxes on it
None whatever. Make it into pasture
land and YOU will reap n rich harvest.
