PICKENS.

By the constitution Of 1868, the
territory now embraced within the
counties of Pickens and Oconee.
being then known as Pickcns Dis.
trlct was diyided, the keowee river
being tho dividing line, and the
portion lying to the west of that
river was called Oconee county,
while that to the east retained the
name-Pickens. Steps wero at
once taken for the location of
county seat and commission
consisting of Messrs. w. II. Field,
j. II. Amber, Reese Bowen,
James Lewis, and J. Il. Haeood
was designated and directed to de-
cide upon o suitable place for the
Court House. After , q thorough
survey Of the county these gen tie.
mon located the town where it now
is, being Oh the dividing ridge be.
tween Wolf Creek on the south
and Town Creek on thenorth. The
greater part Of the land on which
the town is built was then owned
by the late Elihu Griffin. Since
It's founding pickens has grown
steadily but surely. Until the
completion Of the pickens railroad,
the town was completely isolated
from railroad connection, and con I,

The Eastern and Southern Sections.

Let us take a short survey of
the eastern and southern sections
OF the county. Following the Sa.
Iuda river attor leaving the point
OF meeting of Pickens county with
the North Carolina line we pass to
tho west most fertile scope Of
country. This country also is dot
ted with NICE new homes where
young couples have had set off to
them from the ample acres Of
their parents comfortable farms
and houses, And they have taken
advantage of their opportunities
and prospered. From fablo Rock
to EAsley, passing almost due
south by good road, one is i'm.
pressed with the fact that inten-
sive farming is the farming that
pays. Small farms and prosperity
arc III evidence, and the key note
to this prosperity lies IN tho indus
try of these people who have not
ovorhurdcned themselves with too
much land. What they are doing,
all can do and must do before they
realize tho best and fullest
fruits of their labors. Good school
houses, good dwelling houses and
barns, good stock, good fences,
lands terraccd and Gnc pastures
well fenced and watcred, higher
grace OF cattle than was common
IN former times, good wagons and
buggles, happy children and pretty
girls and gallant young men and
peaceful and contonted fathers
and m0thers-all seen here, make
me traveller feel as though he had
struck tho promised land.

Letter is Addressed to MAY

Strong Response

The following letter from David H.
Mercer chairman Of the house com.
imittee on public buildings, addressed
to Mayor J. e. Ball, is a strong indf-
cation that congress VIII. during the
present session, pass the measure
which is now pending, for the erec-
ton Of a 100000 public building in
Guthrie:
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. House of Representa-
tives, U. S.
Washington, d. c. Feb. 1, 1902.
Dear Sir: A bill has been intro
duced in congress providing for the
purchase of a site in your city and
the erection thereon of a government
building to be used for postonice and
other governmental purposes This
committee desires accurate informa-
tion from you upon which to base its
action win you Kindly aid us along
the following lines:
What was your population in 1900.
and what is it now?
What is your estimate for popula-
ton in 1920?
win the city or citizens donate a
site?
If not what is t.ia lowest cost price
of site about lOOxl5O feet in busi-
ness part of city?
Give values of land on principal
street and second principal street
Describe location of site in each
case.
Describe general character Of bust
ness done in city, and state number
of railroad lines leading thereto
Mention six Of the best buildings
in the city with cost or construction
Of each and character of material
used.
Why should government build
ing be erected in r5ur city2
Is there a government building IN

and distance from your city Of such
a building Yours truly

Chairman.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1902-02-06

Replying to the above letter Mayor
d. p. Ball has forwarded the follow
ing communication to the chairman
of the committee on public build
ings
Guthrie, Ok Feb 8, 1902.
Hon. David II Mercer Washington.
D. c.:
Honorable Sir: In reply to yours
of Feb /, 1902. allow me to first say
that Guthrie is highly pleased TO
know that congress is now consider
ing a bill with view of building us
la government building.
In answer to your first inquiry will
say that our population in 1900 was
10000. In 1901, at the time our ks-
SCISSOR made his returns. we had a
population Of 10, 400. and think It is
fair TO pre- ume that in 1920 we viii
have a population Of at least 10000,
and believe we VIII have $4,000.
AS to a site for this building we
will be only too glad 10 furnish you
one, and one that this great govern
ment will be very prouG or. The size
OF this tract of ground Is 15Ox2OO
feet and is known as the Govern
ment Acre" upon it Is now located
Jne United States land office; also
the United States postofflce The
business buildings surrounding this
gov 1nment acre are all handsome
structures, built Of pressed brick and
native stone; many Of them are trim
med with terra Gotta and granite.
The buildings surrounding this gov
eument acre. win rage In price
from ten to forty thousand dollars.
The height Of these buildings Is most
ly two and three stories.
Many reasons can truthfully be as
signed why a government building
should be built at Guthrie In the
frst place, the postosfice building Is
so small that It is impossible for the
patrons OF the Office to receive the
service that they are entitled to re-
ceive The postmaster and his faith
