Saturday afternoon. The lumber was
loaded on a specially constructed wag-
on, at a saw mill on the Oates place
near Kings Mountain battle ground
and was drawn to Yorkville by means
of traction. engines. One engins
brought the load out to sthe Kings
Mountain road near Bethany church

The hauling Of the lumber was quite
q difficult and tedious proposition, es-
pecially because of the wagon tires
which were only 81 inches wide. and
the wheels gave a lot of trouble by
sinking down into the soft earth. II
required about two days to come q lit
tie more than ten miles. On good
road the engine was able to walk righ,
along like a team Of stout mules hitch
ed to an %. mary wagon.
