Pickens route 8, August TO-
AS we have seen nothing from
this corner for some time wa
decided to gather up and send
in the happenings which have
transpired in this quiet section
here of late.
The health of this section is
very good with few executions
Col. 0. p. Field is still very
feeble, but we are glad to note
that he is some better. 1t is
very likely that the wounds he
received during the Civil War
are to a great extent influencing
his suffering. He is today
wearing perhaps some of the
worst battle scars Of any veter-
an OF the lost cause; some of
which he received in the great
battle Of Gettysburg of which
the 5Oth anniversary was re.
Gently celebrated.

good. but injured some by the
continued rains and wind of
the past two weeks, vet if no
further disaster befalIs the crops
farmers will go into the winter
OF 1913 in much better shape
than they did the winter of 1919.
Yes, we have been reading in
the different papers of the prop
osition OF Commissioner e.. j
Watson to build a highway
from Columbia by. Anderson
Walhalla, Whitewater end on
to Lake Toxaway. And the
business men and officials of
these points have extended him
hand of hearty recognition
with promise Of liberal aid.
For instance Mayor w. M.
Brown Of WalhalIa, and Super
visor W. G.. Foster Of Oconcc
county, are wide awake to the
proposition. We are influenced
to believe this would be a great
medium of advertising our up
per counties to sections where
the real value of them arc little
known. AS EasleY and Pickens

suggested line of which no bet

Moscley's bridge, thence across
INTO Oconcc county two and one
half miles UP to Whitewater.
The grade from the nlovc points
is fine and with a little rxpcn
diture could be made a grand
road and a great advertisement
ior our county. But as the
broken link from Anderson to
Easlcy exists, why not The

1t is now the custom at every session
Of Congress to consider the currency
question.
1t has taken Congress a long time to
get up TO date in this matter. Every
one else has been considering it from
childhood up.
This wear Congress is to pass a new
currency law and every good citizen
should become familiar at once with the
questions at issue.
The principal currency question at
present and also in the past and prob
ably in the future is the following:
why is currency so scarce when We
need it,
When the patriotic citizen has mused
over this question until the answer
seems indisputable he should proceed
upon the following inquiries:
should our currency be made elastic
or self-propagatinS like the potato?"
should the dollar bill in these times
