The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1913-07-03

(This article has been correct
ed a little as the deceased and
daughters decided to do when
he read it to them Friday morn
ing. In no instance has the
meaning been changed, only q
few grammatical corrections.)
The above article was written
by the deceased June 10th about
three hours after he read the
news item from the Easley
MILL. as printed the second
time in the Easley Progress. He
read it to his daughters Friday
morning. who begged him not
to print it, but see the parties
on the other side. as they
(daughters) were sure the item
would be corrected when they
understood how the family felt
about it. This he agreed to do.
and put the article away. He
went to town to see the parties,
but, while Mr.. Harris agreed to
have it corrected, "a farmer
felt that his character had been
assailed and he was a victim of
wrongful accusations.
In justice to Mr.. Harris we
wish to state that he carried
some of the eggs to his home for
table use, but later his mother
took them to put under the odd
speckled hen" The deceased
knew this Friday morning, but
still he felt that a thrust had
been made to injure his charac-
ter and profession.
The following is a copy of
the note found on the front
piazza of Mr.. Fred Williams
house a few minutes after he
shot himself:
II will that all my property
remain intact until Una is 81
years Of age. I owe no one any
thing, having paid T.. j. Smith
for Ramon's buggy. I have
wronged no one willfully. Uni
versalism is right; nothing else
will do to live or die by, Wife
and children, do the best for
yourselves. Put very little OK
pense on my funeral. God has
been with me all thru life. [

or deed or word that I have
done; while l have been greatly
wrOnged by others, I hold no
enmity to any. I do this be-
cause [ think 1t best for myself.

Merry war is threatening up on Gastineau Channel over a series of baseball games now being played between a Juneau team and one of players from Douglas and Treadwell on the other side of the channel.

The Island team started out by anneXing five of the games 10 three by Juneau, and there the last papers from the north left them, except to say that bad blood was being en- gendered on account of the a. mount of money wagered on tle series.

FROM TIE WEST COAST
GOAlMUNICATEI.

Editor Ketchikan Miner,
 Dear Sir:
 For the past two or three yaars we have noted with con. siderable interest the prompt ness and regularity of the $. S. Northland in making scheduled hips upon what is known as the west coast run, winter and summer, regardless of weather conditions. But one who has not had the opportunity of ac- ccmpanying this ship over at least a portion of the route and observing conditions, difficult lilies to be encountered when under the most favorable con- .tions, work to be performed, can not possibly have the least conception of what is required Of the Skipper in charge to. make these trips with the reg uiarity that they have been made in the past.
 On the last trip up of the Northland, by the invitation of Captain Brunn, we had the pleasure of accompanying her on the round trip from this print northward, calling at K,acock, Hecate cannery where lies the S. s. Curacao with forward parts on the beach, bow protruding above the water, reminding one of water spaniel trying to make lending after an unsuccessful swim for a "winged" duck, yet withal sad and melancholy sight, causing one to think with qualms what might have happened to the hundred or rlore human souls aboard of Ter when she struck, thence lo Port Armstrong, Port Con- ciusion, and Toledo Bay on Earanoff Island, Tyee, the old whaling station, and Peters, burg. The weather conditions could not have been more fav- orable, yet when we stood on. he bridge and observed what extreme care and watchfu)- ress was required of the Capt. to avoid dangerous rocks, mostly invisible, treacherous currents, and tide rips, that he might make with safety and on tme the ports and designated points, where cargoes were to bp discharged and received, we were filled with awe and won- der, awe at the magnitude of : .lie dangers encountered, and wonder at the skill and cool, calm aierlness with which the" were avoided. But this characteristic, this quickness tO act with cool, calm alertneSS ii' face cf danger, is the true talsman Of all good pilots ana captains.
 It was not however, of all ihls that we intended to speak . when we begun this commun- icatlon, but simply to call at tention to the fact that the :. Northland $. s. Co. by reason of the promptness and regu- ldl'ity which it's steamer North land has made our ports, has more to do with the develop ncnt of the West Coast of the Prince of Wales Island, and made it possible for our busl- ress ventures to reap the pro- ifs, than any other factor, in CWldual or community.
 Now We do not desire to be c1nsidered a booster for this SDecisl company, but only Noicing what our people over here think is due it, for years VIC su red for proper trans portation and until the North

The salmon continue to come in freely to the canneries of this region, and the Ketch-

necessary to maintain a representa-

The association also considered
