LIVELY WORK IN LEGISLATURE

The members Of the Assembly
at the present session have proven
the liveliest set of members that
ever hit the Capitol. AS soon as
organization was perfected they
commenced pilling in bills, yester-
day which was just one week from
organization they had introduced
twenty-eight bills in the Lower
House and nearly half that number
had passed the Assembly. This is
a record. as two years ago there
were less than half that number
introduced in the first ten days.
Afternoon sessions, which is un.
usual at this period Of the session,
have been the regular program.
The committees are keeping their
desks clean. and the Clerk is keep
ing up with the work. In spite OF
all this work every bill is given

They were here but before they
had a chance to get their breath the

Senator Nixon was reelected

Attention, Confederate Veterans!

No Crosses of Honor will be
conferred after November, 1912.
Believing that there are many
Veterans who have not yet OBJ
tanned this valued trophy, the
Pickens Chapter, q. D. c., have
decided to give them one extra
opportunity to do so.
Accordingly January II, 1912,
Gen. Lees birthday, will be Gel
ebrated with appropriate exer-
cises in the Pickens Graded
School, after which the Crosses
of Honor will be bestowed.
All applications must be in
the hands Of the undersigned on
January lst, 1912.
Every Confederate Veteran
who gives proof of his service in
the war is entitled to Gross.
The Oldest lineal descendant
of a deceased Veteran is entitled
to a Cross upon proper appli-
cation.
If a Veteran to whom a Cross
has already been awarded
should lose the same, he is Ieuti-
tied to a second Cross upon ap-
plicatio1.
The undersigned will cheer
fully give all needed advice and
suggestions to any Veteran or
descendant applying for a Cross
under the rules governing their
bestowal, and cordially invites
every one entitled to this bad@
of honor to freely ask for
advice and assistance.
The efforts and hopes of the
Pickens Chapter, Daughters of
the Confederacy, are earnestly
directed towards the proper hon
oring Of every true soldier of
the Confederacy.
Let none entitled to this Cross
pass this opportunity of secur-
ing it. Respectfully,

More About That Railroad.

''Gleanor's'' article on the
railroad prospect up the Oolenoy
valley sounded like sweet music
to the farmers along the propos-
ed line, and many are hopeful
that before many years hence
this rich valley will be traversed
by a railroad.
Nobody will doubt the import
ance of railways, and every
body who has studied the sub
iect knows that transportation
is a big item in the process OF
supply and demand.
But to the farmer the country
road is the broad highway; it is
his trunk-line in transporting
his products from his acres to
the market; but we must have
one or the other. Which shall
it be the railway, or the good
country road?
The railroad is important, and
it is just as important that the
county commissioners work the
country roads.
We feel sure there is some
movement on hand concerning
the road up this valley, as the
mud-holes have met and have
been holding a continuous meet
ing for some time. Occasion
ally a weary traveller meets
with them, but they so out
number him that generally a
loss of time to himself is all he
will tell you about. We had
supposed that the road commits
sioners had the power to break
up these meetings, but so far
they have not interfered.
So the farmers are hoping the
railroad will come, and if it does
we are sure the commissioners
employed to build it will realize
that it is just as important that
it be as substantially built up
this valley as near some town
or city.
We are glad the railroad is
coming. Goodbye TO the road
commissioners, if they are not
already gone.
