A large crowd assembled, though the

"a Voice From Old p;ckens."

AIr. Editor: Under the above cap
tion you take the Pickens County Su-
pervisor and Commissioners to task
for letting a job Of work on the
bridge at Old Pickeus. Yoa do not
make any direct charges, but some
very strong insinuations that we are
extravagant, or in collusion with the
bidder, or that we manipulated the
matter in such a way as to get ''rake
off," These insinuations are unjust
to say the least of them. If you have
any proof to sustain any of them We
demand it, if you have no such proof
! We ask as q matter of simple justice
/ that you so state.
In your comments you say ''some
explanations are now in order. Who
will make them?'
We beg to say that the statements
in the correspondence from cold
Pickens" are entirely incorrect. The
truth of the transaction is this; On
the day the above work was to be iet
County Commissioners Welborn and
Talley met the Oconee Supervisor
and one Commissioner at the iron
bridge to let to the lowest lesponsl.
bic bidder, certain repairs. Super
visor Stephens was not there, he be-
ing at home sick. Commissioner
Welborn was auctioneer and the low
est bid was by Mr.. Richardson, an
Oconee man, for $376. When this,
the last bid was made, Mr.. We'born
promptly announced that he would
not accept it, believing it to he too
high. The Supervisor If Oconee
then asked what to do, aud Mr. Wei
born replied to re,advertise and re-
let the work. The Supervisor OF Oco
nee and Mr.. Richardson then went to
one side and had a talk, and when
Mr.. McAlister, the Supervisor, came
back he asked if We would re open
the bidding, as he thought we could
get the work done for $1O0 less. To
this we consented, the bidding was
opened and the lowest made was by
Mr.. Richardson for $276, and the
work was awarded to him.
Now we ask you Mr. Editor who
had the eagle Eye" and whose ex-
travagance or "rake off, was it? Or
who was In collusion?
We do not object to any or all of
our official acts being made public,
but we do object to being charged by
Implication or othe rwise with corrup-
ton OF <stAeastfhg stAatifihg unless fns sasGs % s=s
be proven. And we demand the proof.
In your issue of the 7th inst, you
fall into another error when you say
the pier at the Birch's Ford bridge
was accepted by the two Supervisors,
McAlister and Stephens. The truth
is all the Commissioners, except pos
sibly Mr. Talley, was present when
the pier on the Pickens side Of said
bridge was found to be defective, and
this defect was discovered by Mr..
Stephens and the work rejected. After
this, Commissioners Welborn and
TaIley were sent to inspect the pier
on the Oconee side and it also was
not built according to contract and
rejected. Ard both piers were re-
built according to contract after this
and received.

Dota From Twelve Mile.
TIE ARK AGAIN SPGED.

Mr.. Editor: Allow ms space to
say few words and tell the peo-
pie that We are living, for We can't
get away to see them on account OF
the Internally bad roads. What is
the reason our Commissioners can
not have them fixed? Are they
too scared to risk their precious
6ecks over them to show the over
seers how 'tis done?
The health OF this community is
extra good at present; We are truly
glad, too, for we could never send
for doctor over these roads.
The farmers are about done
planting except some late patches.
The small grain is looking very
well, but what bothers US is how
we will get a thresher up here over
the bad roads, and how can we go
to mill.
We have up here one of the
grandest things you ever did Sea,
or heard tell Of; some say it is the
Pickens county chain gang; others
say it is the Pickens Ark, so we
call it the ark. In Noah's Ark
there were birds Of every kind and
animals of every kind, while there
is "birds" of every kind and mules
OF every kind in the Pickens Ark
Noah's Ark rested on Mount
Ararat and the Pickens Ark is
floating towards the mountains but
we do not know which one she will
rest on just yet, but We think it
will stop on Bald Knob and be
turned into a summer resort hotel
and We understand several parties
from the upper edge Of Anderson
and the lower edge Of Pickens
counties have registered at $l.00
per day and board.
This ark is creating intense ex-
element rongst the children as
they are taught in their Sunday
Srhcols that in the TINA of Noah's
Ark and the food there was none
saved except Noah, his three sons
and their wives, and they
want to know if this ark
is portentious of another flood.
but we tell them that the world
will never again be covered with
water but that everything in it
will be covered with high taxes,
and when this food comes there
will be lone saved but "Noah",
his three commissioners and their
sons, who are now sticking close
to the ark.
If this escapes the waste basket
I may worry you and your readers
again and tell you when and where
the ark lights.
A FRIEND OF THE PAPER.
P.S. What do you reckon, Mr..
Editor, that little Easley Progress
will saw about this ark and Noah
and his three commissioners and
their sons? But it shoots off halt
cooked and don't hit a thing.

Six Mile May Meeting.

Notwithstanding the rather c!sa'
greeable, clustering day, last Sunday
was a great day at Six Mile. A tre'
mendous gathering it was from every
part of Pickens county and there
were numerous representatives from
neighboriug counties A conserVa-
tive estimate of the crowd was from
1900 to 1900. Six Mile, as is gen
erally known, is one Of the largest
churches in the county. The buil1.
ing is spacious and comparatively
new.
It is ir one Of the most prosperous
i, sections of the County and is settled
by thrifty anil intelligent class OF
citizens.
In the morning . strong sermon
was preached by the pastor, Rev. B.
c. Atkinson, after which the Sacra-
ment was administered. At the con-
clusion of the service for the spiritual
man, came the GLAD hour for the
nourishment of the physical man.
There Was an abundance of everything
good to eat. These good people live
we'll at home and know how to pre-.
pare good things to eat. .
After dinner all reassembled in the
church for a song service. If there
is one thing these Six Mile people do
better than another, it is to sing.
They don't hum or mumble-they
sing, and most of them seem to be
the singing kind. Itwas worth a long
trip to hear one song, clark the Song
of Jubilee" rendered by big musi-
cal man-whose name it is hardly
necessary for rs to call-everybodv
knows him by his big, flowing mus
tache.

trLities for the study of human La

and pulling the tent that will cover the
three rings and three stages and seats
for 14,S00 is raised.
The sides are soon put up. The plac-
ing of the seats requires but little
time. In this a distinct innovation has
been introduced. Every seat is num-
bered and no general admission tickets
sold. Each ticket entities the holder
TO a particular seat; in reality, a re-
served seat. The day of the board seats,
arranged in tiers, is also passed, and
in its stead are seats with comfort
able backs and footrests.
Around the rings there are boxes,
separated by nickel plated railings. In
fact, the tent is monstrous open air
theatre. While. the seats are being ar
ranged other workmen are busy hang
ing the aerial apparatus and getting
ready the rings and stages. Instead
of the old fashioned turf bank rings,
the circles are banked with wooden
contrivances.

person having a particular thing to do,

MANY WOREMEN COMING
TO WILMINGTON
Increased Business Of Local
Plants and New Industries
Swelling Population

That Wilmington is fast becoming
great city is best demonstrated by the
large amount Of people coming here every
dav to get employment and they are not
turned away. The business Of almost
every plant in tho city has increased to al
most twice its former capacity and snll
men ore needed The city bids fair To be-
come the railroad centre Of the East with
its big railroad shops, immense freight
yards and busy transfer stations.
The completion Of the shops will mean
employment OF hundreds of additional men
and the fame Of the city is spreading as
demonstrated by the hocks of mechanics
and others arriving here every dayl
The new manufacturing plants are also
doing much TO advance the city. Those al
ready under construction and the ones
promised 10 come within the year will
give work to hundreds OF others and the
prophecy Of those I'm a position TO know
Is that within two years the population OF
Wilmington will have reached the 1oo.-
O00 mark.
