Liberty, s. O., April a, 1904.
| The whippoorwills and martius
have been heard in the lana again
the past week.
The impatient farmer began ia
plow in the mud last week again and
some corn and a few cotton seed was
planted.
Fertilizer is still being hauled out.
The peach trees are in full bloom.
About two weeks later than normal.
Wheat is coming out considerably.
Garden vegetables growing rapidly.
| Good Friday was o dry day and
many garden seed were planted.
There was o trial here before
Magistrate O'Dell on the 31st ult.,
between parties from the Flat Rock
section over difficulty that occurred
at Flat Rock church Sunday before
last just after preaching. It seems
the brethren of that section no longer
dwell together in unity as quite q
number of them were involved. A
crowd attended the trial. j. p,
Carey appeared for prosecution and
B. A. Morgan, of Greenyille, for de-
fendants. AS pistol was brought
to light some of the parties will have
to go to the higher court.
j. M. Hoyle is having lumber laid
down for dwelling just south of the
depot.
Wagons with lumber and shingles
still come this way, and land to build
on is hard to get. Many of those
who have it seem to think they have
gold mine.
The night OF the 25th of March,
the school gave historic review of
some of the noted deeds Ct heroism
done by Americans in America and
pupils sang some Of tbs national
songs and Mr.. Martin, young at,
torney of Greenyille, delivered very
interesting address on Southern his
tory, showing how the South was
misrepresented by Northern histori.
ans, thus placing the South in a false
light before the world. He handled
his subject we'll and delivered it in
an impressive manner.
Oh yes, the trolley line from An
derson via Five Forks in Anderson
county, thence direct to Liberty and
thence to Pickens, Easley and Green
vile. The project has been talked
of by citizens along the proposed line
from Anderson county to Liberty;
and at Liberty we propose to lay the
matter before our Easley neighbors
and any others Interested in due
time. We hope our Easley or Pick.
eus friends will not become excited
because we haven't told them. This
matter has been talked of two or
three years. Twelve Mile River has
considerable power going to waste
that may be harnessed to furnish
power to help run trolley line
Liberty proposed to be generous to-
ward Easley and Pickens aud any
other points that might be beneficial
by such an enterprise. We hope our
Easley friends will not rise to the
point of mind that will lead them to
think no good thing can come, save
from Easley. A few other places no
doubt think they are q part of tho
wheel if not tho hub on which the
world revolves. We may have some
thing more to say along the trolley
line again soon.
The trains still run every Sunday,
being neither blind or deaf, we SOC
and hear them. Glad they do not
disturb the Easley correspondent 1t
hae been my imprc cssion that somo of
the grand Jurors lived in the county
and could hear and sec q little, but
will not complain as they are but
humans.
Yesterday was Easter and many
were out in white and shivered be-
fore night.
Mercury fell to 80 last night, three
degrees colder than last week. Q.
