History of Old Pickens District
In InStallmentS
By N. B. CAREY

Central. no Liberty, no Easiey,
and no New Pickens G. H. with
their magnificent churches,
splendid schools, fourishing cot
ton mills and other industries.
Such a thing as store clothes"
were almost unknown. The
spinning wheel and the old-time
loom. manipulated by the MIN
BILE fingers of our grandmothers,
converted into cloth the fleece OF
native sheep, dyed with native
herbs. out of which our gar
ments were hand-sewed before
the invention of the sewing ma
chine, that great blessing to
women. Our shoes for the most
part were made of home-tanned
leather with maple pegs. All
our socks, stockings and gloves
were the product of the knitting
needles.
When I think of all this |
wonder how those good old la
dies found time to do so much
and perform their other domes-
tic duties. I also wonder how
many of our sweet college grad
yates would know what to do
with a spinning wheel. old-time
loom and knitting needles,t to say
nothing of preparing a meal
with the utensils then used, for
they had no range or cooking
stove.
The first clerk of the court for
dPickens District was William
L. Keith, who held the office for
2S consecutive years and died IN
office. He was the father OF our
brilliant w. G. Keith. and four
other sons, Thomas, Marvin, Ell
lott and John, all of whom are
dead,
The second and last clerk of
court was James E. Hagood,
who held the office until the di-
vision of the district in 1868. Mr..
Hagood was a very popularman
and was never defeated for any
office. He was for many years
clerk of the United States Dis
trict court for South Carolina.
He was the father of VIM. Ha-
good, banker of Easley, B. A.
Hagood. prominent lawyer OF
Charleston, and James, success
full business man at Easley.

former named in honor OF Gen.
Anderson and the latter in honor
of General Pickens, both revolu-

The country was sparsely set
