We find that Frank Hill, COM

tragedies that long have darkened
up-country homes.
Pickensvillc, as I remember it
from first sight, in my childhood
days, was small, deserted village,
encompassed by senile gloom. A
large tract of land was grown up in
a tough and then dreaded grass called
"Tom BelP' on account of local
legend connecting it with his Sa-
tanic majesty; scrubby pines grow
ing near by furnished sighs and walls
that the nervous might associate with
the past. A few houses then re-
maincd and the race track could be
defined. A few hundred yards away,
on tract of granite, there were dun
geons cut in the solid rock that is
where some of the old-time terrors
were kept, under the old Jail.
hear this is all changed now.
The dungeons are no moro and the
granite has been blasted for building
rock. Several years ago al enter
prising farmer tore up the face of
the earth and had terrific battle
with the jointed grass and was re-
warded by gaining magnificent
cotton field. The old shacks have
all disappeared, and only a mile
above, on the Southern Railway, is
the prosperous town of Easley, and
cotton mill has been built there
with a settlement reaching almost to
the precincts of Old Pickensville.
The "big house" of the place, once
the hotel, is, | believe, standing and
is the residence Of VIM. a. Neal.
A quaint theory was once ad-
vanced about Pickensville. The
tearing up of the "Tom Bell" grass
was followed, it is said, by an ex-
traordinary outbreak of trouble in
Easley, a mile above. The town
was torn by factions and the churches
were made scenes of war.
An old citizen said that the "Tom
Bell" had mercifully come to Pickens-
vile and formed tough cover and
that the devil was covered in. His
theory was that the tearing up of
the "Tom Bell" let the devil loose
and hence all the trouble.

Statement from Rooster.

MIR. George r. Koester, recently
appointed Revenue Collector, makes
the following statement in The
Record, of which newspaper he is
editor:
81 have been appointed Collector
of Internal Revenue for South Caro-.
lima. The appointment seems to have
been surprise to South Carolina.
This is not strange, as it was equally
a surprise to me, for l was not can
didate for the position, and never in
any way applied for it. have some
strong friends in Washington.
When the wrangle occurred among
Republican leaders as to which one
of them should fit the collectorship.
those friends without consulting me
suggested that I be appointed.
They were kind enough to say some
good words about me and my pro-
gressive newspaper work. The
President later consulted Senator
McLaurin about mo, and as all South
Carolina knows the relations which
have existed between us ever since
his advent in the political arena, it is
easy to understand that while he did
not ask my appointment what he
said of me was favorable. The
President expressed desire to see
me. | went to Washington and
called at the White House last
Saturday evening with Senator Nc
Laurin.
The President, after some pleas.
ant conversation, rendered me the
appointment. l replied that l had
endorsed another and preferred his
appointment. The President said
that appointment would not be made
and then accepted the place. That
is all there is to it. I have been in
the newspaper business in South
Carolina for fourteen years and it
would be strange indeed if during
that time had not made enemies.
| am proud of some Of the enemies
have made. They will condemn my
appointment and already one paper
has attacked it in a most unscrupul-
GUS and untruthful way. will not
engage in controversy with them.
The sincere and hearty congratula-
tions of hundreds of the best people
Of Columbia, which has been nv
home for ten years, the cordial hand
grasps of those who know me and
their warm good wishes, together with
hundreds of kilograms and letters
of congratulation from prominent
people of other States and through
out South Carolina assure me that
my character is safe from venomous
attacks by those who are my enemies
because OF my newspaper work.
Such attacks cannot harm me nor
make South Carolina believe that in
my appointment the President has
departed from his promise that he
would appoint good, clean men to
the Federal offices in the South as
well as in the North.
Believing that the editor of
newspaper should be absolutely un-
trammeled in his utterances and that
his independence of thought should
be like the virtue of Cmsar's wife,
though knowing I would remain in
dependent as editor of The Record
If | continued in harness, havo de-
cided to withdraw from editorial
charge of this paper. For the pres
ent, Mr.. Paul M. Brice, city editor
of The Record, will act as editor.

work for fifteen or sixteen years, to
