Pickens County The
Garden Spot of
The World,
SAYS UNCLE ZEKE.

Good Health and Fine Gil
mate--Fine Section For
Winter Tourists.


ems county these beautiful days
often finds himself wondering if
the people OF this section fully
realize the advantages of their
county and how much more they
are favored than many who con
slider themselves pamperel chll-
dren Of fortune, and the spot they
call "home" the ideal one of the
world.
While we are willing to admit
That there is 20 place like home,
we can not gainsay the fact that
Nature has done much more for
the locations OF many homes than
for others.
If the stranger should give vent
to his thoI ghts in words it is barely
possible he may be told that the
people are fully alive to all the
good things that Dame Fortune
has bestowed 0n them. and it is
not necessary for outsiders to re-
mind them Of it; nevertheless
when mans daily bread, to a
certain extent, depends OH giving
expression to his thoughts he feels
he has the license to say pretty
nearly what he thinks, and in
entering country IN search of
health, and he succeeds il finding
Et>,GStt- E5tt>GSt pricaless boon, he feels that
he has an inherent right aud an
interest in his adopted country.
AS one in that position we say
frankly we do not believe that the
people of this favored land fully
appreciate the blessings they live
under. For the simple reason that
one accustomed to Il good thing
from birth does not appreciate 1T
:as one who comes suddenly in pos
session.
This section or belt of country
sheltered by tho range Of noun
tains mas climate that we fully
believe is unsurpassed in the word
Perhaps God has made better
but if SO, We do not know where /
is. In an observation OF twelV'
wears We have seen SO many case
Of throat and lung troubles cure
or benefited that eunheeitatingl
pronounce this country Mature
SanitarIum," and tie people Q
Pickens county have III the al
they breathe a greater source O
wealth than in the soil they till
A gentleman, who, by the Wa!
Is from another State, remNrked t
aus few days since that it SCENE
strange to him that there was n,
more of the outside world come
Plckens. Our reply was: "Nott
ing strange about it. They ha'
never been asked to come, and pc
pls seldom go where they are u,
invited"
Now we do not know as'thero
one family within the borders
this county that would be willil
to entertain the winter visitor, y
that fact cuts no ligure. Once
it be known that this favored cot
try exists and turn the attention
tourists this way, and hotels a
boarding honses will spring up
sufficient numbers to take care
all who wish to como.
The winter tourists or visit
are looking for the spot whore TIL
can live out of doors, where,
walking, riding or driving, tt
can enjoy life, and if in the elm
Of this country, and with its g
roads, they fail to find what II
are looking for, they are caro-
kickers, and we would prefer Il
pass us by.
For the invalids there awaits
and health, aud it is not only do
them an untold kindness and bt
fit, but a duty you owe to
"Good Giver" of these .blessi
that you invite tken to come
