Enterprise and Prosperity in Pickens.


The first OF this week we enjoyed a
pleasant visi. to PickeDs Court House.
While not engaged in professional duty
we Mingled freely with the good people
of the town and county, who were attend
ing court, which convened there on Mon
Gay. with Judge Izlar presiding.
We were impressed with the the spirit
of enterprise and prosperity, which mani
tested itself on every side. AT Easley we
aliehted from the car and took private
conveyance to the town of Pickens, a
distance Of eight miles From the pub
lie road a good view could be had of the
route of the new railroad being built
frora Easley TO Pickens. This is county
enterprise. The citizens residing in the
townships through which the road runs,
together with those of the town of Pick
ems. have voted the issue of bonds to
raise the money to build and equip 1t.
All the grading and trestle work is done,
and the cross-ties are on the ground.
The iron rails are wanting, but we were
informed that arrangements have just
been perfected which insure the iron
within the next ninety days. When the
iron horse draws his heavy laden train
into Pickens it will be the forerunner OF
still greater prosperity and enterprise
than has ever been seen in the past.
Wise heads have already looked into
the distant future and anticipated the
the days of still greater things. AS an
evidence of this stands now in all its
grandeur and beauty their new temple OF
Justice. The court house, recently com
pleted at cost OF $4,000, is an ornament
to the town and a lasting monument to
the liberality and patriotism OF the peo-
pie of the whole county. By all odds ii
is the finest court house in the Eighth
Judicial Circuit, and it will not suffer by
comparison with any county court house
in South Carolina. No better index to
the intelligence, enterprise and pros
perity of people can be had than that
furnished by their public buildings. AND
just here Pickens has set commendable
example, which should be followed by
her sister counties.
The public roads of the county are
being greatly improved also. The County
Commissioners are giving themselves tt
the task of procuring better locations
and having the roads graded. The one
idea which prevails is, that the road mus
be level, or as nearly so as practicable
And it matters not if it becomes neces
sary to go right through the center O.
John Smiths apple orchard or fertile
field to get the proper location, why

by the college The sale was made by
the late Richard Lewis. Master, over a
year ago, under Judgment Of foreclosure,
but at the time OF the sale Mrs. Gibson
made certain statements tendi g to chill
the bidding. and the land was b.,, "tf by
her for 800. when it was worth at least
5000 or 500, the amount of the mort
cage debt. Mr.. Herndon, afterwards
ascertaining certain facts which led him
to believe that fraud had been practiced
upon him, or rather upon the college, at
once began proceedings TO set aside the
sale. and have the land rcsold. The case
came on to be heard by Judge Fraser
last July term of court. He decided
against the view taken by Mr.. Herndon,
whereupon an appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, where the decision of
the Circuit Court has been reversed and
the sale set aside. Mr.. Herndon is to
be congratulated on the success with
which his efforts in behalf of the college
have been crowned The land will be re-
sold and doubtless made to bring the
amount of the debt and costs.

DR.. W. J. Bramlett met with painful
accident on Wednesday afternoon, and
one which came very near being fatal.
Being called to see patient few miles
from town. he had his Montana saddled
and then mounted to ride horseback.
But his fiery steed began bucking and
soon threw him headlong to the ground,
in Main street. in front of his residence.
He fell on his left side and was knocked
senseless for several minutes. He was
carried into his house by friends, and, on
examination. it was found that his left
hip and thigh were severely bruised.
On this Thursday morning he is still
confined to his bed, but it is thought he
will be out again in few days.

there is considerable money to. be made

effect: It greatly reduces drunkenness
