The Pickens sentinel-journal. (Pickens, S.C.) 1903-1906, 1903-12-09
From CateeChee.

The ia, m"ra in thus section are
about through gathering and about
MI the cotton il sold The report is
little over hoif crop.
We would like to hear from the fel
low in the north who predicted such
n large cotton crop for this year
Maybe he has never woke up yet to
view the situation When he docs |
wake we want to hear his cxplaua
tio". Du! Ike the poor fellow was
that wanted fore.runner sent back
to warn his five brothers of tho tor
ment;ny flames, whom ha received au
answer similar to this; s'They hayo
Moses and tho prophets and they
would not believe, yen they would lot
believe though one was sent from the
dead.' Speculation is great thing
! when mnn is always on top and
"morey is the root of all evil"
Money will do anything except
carry q man to heaven. It will carry
him to that hot country and we fear
many are going there daily on the
strength Of it. Why even the dead
have to pny to be carried on the
train 10 their last resting place. We
long to S. . law enacted to force the
railroad company to carry the dead
free gratis. It is shame 10 charge
for convo, ing the dead.
Gilbert Holler, rock mason from
Statosvi!le, N. G, and who had been
employed by Messrs. Beattie & john
son, OF Charlotte, to help build a
rock wall at the new dam at this
place, droppocf dead in A. j. Cranes
market on last w Wednesday, morning.
Coroner Parsons held an inquest over
him and The verdict Of the jury was
that the deceased came to his death
from heart failure. Ho was about G1
years DID, Very little is known here
Of his life, rs he had been here only
a short while, but those who had
, dealings with him here say hc seemed
I to be an honest man. His remains
D We're sent back to Statesvlllc, where
= he has a family,
Born unto Mr.. aud Mrs. D. j.
Prince on tho 25th ult., a fine boy.
Dave says he is large enough now to
run the plant at Cateechee.
r. a. Bowen, of Pickens, visited
his son inlay, j. T.. Banister last
Thursday.
We were glad to see on our streets
last Thursday evening, Messrs. A. j.
Boggs and Nj. +. Hester, of Pickens
We arc always glad to see those gen
tlemen, for they are just like "home-
) folks."
The mill at this place suspended
work for seven days last week and
a wock before, owing to some work
that had to be done.
Messrs. Beattie g. johnson have
just completed rock wall at the
electrical dam 1913 feet long and
, from p to 13 feet high. They arc
now digging tail race at the same
=, place.
1t was our pleasure to pass by Six
Mile Oh last Thursday evening. We
were surprised to soc the improve.
ments that had been made there of
: late. The first thing that caught
. our eyes was A. NJ. Gorrett cutting
wood in hls shirt sleeves and seemed
to bo as comfortable MS if it was the
25th day OF August. Tho writer was
wrapped up as long as he could get
; a rag on and was then 50 cold he
( could hardly manage his lines. But
those old fellows that waded snow
knee deop many night from 'GO-'65,
can stand more cold now than tho
rising generations.
Among other improvements we
noticed was that Mr.. Rice has nice
stock of goods but noticed no was
buslly engaged with drummer
Six Milo would he a beautiful place
for cotton mill. What do you think
rbout it Old Riddle?
Vel, wo notice several compli-
ments have boen passed. between
Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes, etc. We
would be pleased to pass compli.
ments with some of the girls.
