The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1913-08-07
"Rrog,essfve'

We print this week a good
communication from Progress
sivc" in reply to an article last
week by "Obscrvcr." From it
we learn that business in Pick
ems has been increasing during
the past five years.
We admit we were surprised
when we read what "Observer"
said about Pickcns not getting
the trade she used to, for during
the year we have been here it
seemed to us that Pickcns had
good trade, especially when
we consider thar last year was
a bad crop year. But no one
will deny that even more trade
should come here and can be
brought here, and we believe
the motive Of "Obscrver's' ar
ticlc was to call attention to
this fact.
We believe ''Progressive'
mistakes the motive Of "Observ-
!or's' article. and on account of
the first sentence in the third
paragraph of the formers ar
ticle we wish to state that "Ob-
server" has lived in Pickens
practically all Of his life, is one
OF our most prominent citizens,
owns both residential and bust
ness property here, and we dare

"Progressive' Replies to "Observer."

We note in the last weeks
issue of The Pickens Sentinel,
observer" seems very much
distressed over the fact that
there is not as much business
coming to Pickens as did a few
years back.
In reply we wish to say that
"Observer" has been misin-
formed or is guessing at the
facts. 1t is possibly true that
not as many people trade at
Pickens as did a few years ago
|! but the volume of business done
has been on the increase for the
past five years. Even last year
when crops were exceptionally
poor, business showed a sub
stantial increase oyer 1911, and
the prospects for 1913 are still
better.
The merchants of Pickcns
nave been very unfortunate in
the past few years in having
articles of this nature to come
up just as they had succeeded
in winning back a part of this
trade that "Obscrvcr" says IS
now going elsewhere. We say
it is unfortunate because people
get the impression that they
cannot get as good goods or get
them as cheap at Eickens as
they can elsewhere, when the
truth is the merchants Of Pick
ems have the largest and most
complete stocks of general mcr
chandisc to be found in the
county, and quality considered,
sell them as cheap as any of the
ncighboring towns. They also,
pay as much, and the majority
Of time, more for cotton, pro-
ducc and all farm products than
any market in the county.
Now as to "Obscrvcr's" reas-
Dns for this state Of affairs, to-
wit: Not using enough print
cr's INK and mot offering in
will say that we

Systematically done always
stimulates trade, but our opin-
on is that hand bills are a very

Rev. NJ. L. Jones Here.

Rev, M. L.. Jones, of Penrose,
N. c., a former citizen Of this
county, is on a visit to his sons
and other relatives and friends
in Pickens county, after all alb
sence of several years. He notes
MANY changes in Pickens since
he left here. Mr.. Jones is still
an active minister of the gospel,
and his churches have given
him a leave Of absence during
August. While at the county
seat Wednesday he gave The
Sentinel a pleasant call and said

"Old Countryman" Writes About Pickens

Mr.. Editor: | had to go tt
Pickcns last week on Il little
business. We tanners have to
go to town sometimes. and |
like to visit Pickcns. Main
street being 50 wide and straight
makes it attractive, and being
away from the depot and out of
the way Of the trains makes it
a pleasant place to do business.
| find the merchants, bankers,
county officers and LAWYERS
courteous and kind. Politeness
in business transaction is a good
asset. 1t is as easy to be polite
in a matter Of business as to be
brusk, blunt and rough. 1t
seems to this old man that the
population Of Pickens is not as
large as it should be, being the
county seat, and a high dry
healthy place with the charm
ing scenery of the old Blue
Ridge mountains in plain view,
with the pure fresh air and cold
mountain water, all contribute
to make Pickens a central point
for education and manufacture
Ing.
Pickens would be a very de
sirable place for a large furni
ture and chair factory which
could utilize the hardwood il
this county. Why not make
use Of the natural resources a
our hands. There are about 81
hardwood factories at High
FONT, N. G. Some of then
could be induced probably tt
establish a branch factory a
rickens. In all progressiy'
towns there is a board Of trad
VINO look after establishing new
enterprises.
There are two things essen

Remarkable Cure of Dysentery

Il was attacked with dysen-
terry about July 18th, and used
the doctors medicine and other
remedies with no relief, only
getting worse all the time. I
was unable to do anything and
my weight dropped from 145 to
1875 pounds. 1 suffered for about
two months when I was advised
to use Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
| used two bottles of it and it
gave me permanent relief"

Good Reason for His Enthusiasm

When a man has suffered for
several days with collie, diarrhoea
or other form of bowel com
plant and is then cured sound
and we'll by one or two doses of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, rs is
often the case. it is but natural
that he should be enthusiastic
in his praise Of the remedy, and
especially is this the case Of a
severe attack when life is
threatened. Try it when in
need Of such a remedy. 1t new
er fails. Sold by all dealers.

poor advertisement for a mer
chant. BY the use of handbills
people get the impression that
you wish to unload some hare
stock, or as the case has been
with some in the past, they are
going out Of business. The
merchants of Pickens seldom
have use for Especial sales"
They have good clean stocks
and any bargains the.7 have to
offer are easily disposed Of.
People are getting wise to these
sales" for they have found out
they get Just what they pay in
value, and that the articles they
need worse are sold out or have
never been on sale. All this
may do very well in cities, but
it does not work SO well i'm small
to WnS.
AS to the amount of advcrtis-
ing carried i'm The Sentinel, will
say that by looking over the
files we find that about the
same per cent of the merchants
advertising that always
have, and while they may not
be carrying as much space at
this season of the year, when
business opens up you will find
them going after the business
with enlarged space.
In regard to 'Obscrver's"
suggestion in regard to a Board
Of Trade for Pickens will say
that we think this an excellent
idea and we hope before the
year is out q good live organiza-
ton Of this kind will be in oper-
alton.
Let's all put our shoulder to
the wheel and make Pickens
the best business town in the
county. Crops have not been
what they SHOULD for the past
two years and people have got
a little behind, but the prospects
now for a good crop are excel
lent, and barring accidents,
people will get on their feet
this fall, and Pickens will
the best business for the
past several years,

tial to make q town grow and
develop, which are manufacture
ing'institutionsand good schools.
Why can't Plckcns organize a
board of trade Or chamber of
commerce! This old country
man believes that whatever
helps the town also is a benefit
to the farmer.
Col. b. a. Hagood owns the
most magnificent and charm
ing lot Of Is acres one mills east
OF Pickens on a gently elevated
hill, a spur of Cannon noun
tain. The summit is level and
affords the most extensive
mountain view in the South,
except possibly Lookout noun
tain, Chattanooga, Tenn. If
there was a three story 3CO-room
summer tourist hotel on this
ideal lot there would be 500
guests here to spend the sum-
mer by advertising properly.
But this old farmer is a crank
on education. Not having an
overload himself he realizes the
need of it. A co-educational
college on this lot would be the
great factor for good results to
our whole country. No proba-
bility of too many good schools
in upper South Carolina.
By town and country people
uniting in hand, head and heart
great things can be achieved.
By joint stock plan these things
can be accomplished.
The old farmer will now close
this article by wishing The Sen.
tinel and all of the young people
great success financially, educa-
tionally and religiously.

say he wants to see Pickens
grow and prosper as much as
any other citizen does.
We have told our subscribers
before, and we say it again,
that few towns the size of Pick
ems can boast Of better or more
extensive lines of merchandise
than can be found here, and our
merchants will treat them right.
We never try to deceive our
subscribers, either
AS to the amount Of adver-
Using carried in The Sentinel"
we have made no kick. We

What the South Needs is The
Small White Farmer.

We are glad to find Mr.. Brad
ford Knapp, in charge Of the
Farm Demonstration Work in
the South. joining us in our
warning against corporation in
stead Of cooperation farming.
We know he voiced the views
of his lamented father when he
said in a recent address:
There is a tendency today
throughout the South to think
that we can do farming best on
a bonanza scale, with large cap
ital. large tracts of land and
fine equipment. Even if it can
be done profitably, | tell you
that it is not a good thing for
the country. The strength, the
civilization, the manhood and
the womanhood Of the South
depend largely on the small
who is devoting all his
energies to the cultivation of
one tract of land for the support
himself, his wife and his
children. What this country
leeds is the small white farmer
living on his own farm and
the greater part Of his
work himself. If we men will
only stick together we can do
ibis and do it better than they
IAN on the corporation plan"

AS long as the present man
agcment has charge of The Sen
tincl we intend to boost Pickens
as best we can, because We
know we are boosting a good
thing. We do say we should
have more advertising from the
business men here, for our mu-
tual benefit, and we ask them
for it. More trade can be
brought here and The Sentinel
is one good medium thru which
it can be brought.

many pleasant things about the
paper, all Of which we appre-
ciate. While he is growing old,
we hope Mr.. Jones will live to
do much more good for the
greatest cause.
Several days ago the Green
vile papers carried a story of a
three-legged chicken which was
seen in Greenville and low
