The Southern railway is going
back to old-time ways, it seems.
They will in the future, so it is
reported, do away with ticket
auditors and return to the old
way of haYirg the conductors
collect the fares. That will be
good news to the old-timers of
the punch, who have never been
reconciled to the auditor system.

Most of the large department
stores in New York have made
an agreement among themselves
that they will give their en-

during July and August, with

American worker is coming to
be the best paid and best treated
in the world. That is one Of
the results of organization.

More than 125 years ago this
entire region which is now
known as Anderson. Pickens
and Oconee counties, was the
home of the Cherokee Indians.
Some time about IT'S Gen.
Andrew Pickens made treaty
with the Indians by which they
ceded this territory to the state.
The treaty was known as the
Treaty of Hopewell, and until a
few years ago the huge oak un-
der which the treaty was made
was standing near the Old Stone
Church. About177S these lands
Elately ceded by the Indians, bv
the act of the legislature were
included in Ninety-Six district
and for some years the courts
were held at Ninety-Six, and l,
myself, haye heard my great
grandfather, Thomas Hamilton,
who was a soldier of the Revolu-
ton, tell of riding horseback to
Ninety-Six to serve as a juror
| in the court. He settled in Gar
win township about 1888 and the
house he built is still standing
and is owned now by w. A. q.
Jamison. The country was be-
| ING occupied slowly by settlers
and so far as I have been able to
gather, about the first white
family to settle in what is now
Anderson county was a family
by the name of Smith, who SET
tied on Broadmouth Greek. on
lands now owned by Matthew
Cox, near what is known as the
Sallie Reid grave yard. This
family was murdered by the
Indians, except one little boy,
who escaped and made his way
to Ninety-Six to inform the
troops stationed there, and a
terrible vengeance was wreaked
on them for this and they We're
driven far off to the mountains.
The bodies of the murdered fam
| lilv were thrown into the burn
| inghouse and the soldiers gather
ed up the remains and they now
lie in the Sallie Reid graveyard.
About 177S. or a little later,
Ninety-Six was divided into the
counties of Abbeyille, Edgefeld,
| fNewberry. Laurens. Spartan
burg and Union. There is a
confusion OF dates here that. is
hard to unravel, and also a con-
fusion Of names in sometimes
calling them counties and some
times districts, and in this di-
vision there is no mention of
Pendleton district, In 1855
Washington county was erected,
which as near as I can find out
included what was later Pendle-
ton district, and also Greenville,
with the county seat at Pickens-
vile, and the dungeon of the
Jail hewn out of the rock is still
to be seen there. On March Z,
1889, an act was passed estab-
Fishing Peudleton district, with
Pendleton as the county seat.
The name Pendleton was given
in honor of Judge Henry Pen.
dleton, a distinguished soldier of
the Revolution. who served dur
ing the war in this state. After
the war he was elected to a
iuogeship, and died in Green
Vile county in 1889. The first
court house was built of logs
and stood near the railroad cul-
vert in the town, and later a
brick house was built on the
SQUARE near the old Farmers
hall.
In 1926 an act was passed max
ing two judicial districts out of
Pendleton district, one to be
known as Anderson and the
other as Pickens, and Col. J. @.

M. Gambrell, J. G. Griffin and
VIM. Sherrard were appointed
commissioners to purchase not
less than 400 acres on which to
locate the county seat of And
erson county, and ] ames Thomp-
son, Samuel J. Hammond, J.E.
Norris, Alexander Moorhead
and Llewellyn Goode were ap-
pointed commissioners of public
buildings, and on the second
Monday Of October, 1928, the
first courts were held in Ander-
son and Pickens, and / have
heard old Mr.. Micah Milton. who
died a few years ago in his 92d
year, say that he attended the
first court here and hitched his
horse to swinging limb Of a sap
ling near where the Confederate
monument now stands. Both
counties were to use the Jail at
Pendleton until new jails could
be built at the respective county
seats, and the sheriff of Ander-
son county was to have charge
of the old jail at Pendleton. The
new jail at Anderson was built
on the spot where the old Will
hite drug store was, and [ we'll
remember when it was torn
down and removed to the pres
ent site and Granite Row built
on it. Although Anderson and
Pickens were made separate
judicial districts in 1923 and had
their separate county officers,
yet they remained one election
district until 1852, and I well re-
member the last election held
here under that arrangement on
the spot where the Bank of And
erson now stands, and the elec-
ton returns had to be carried to
Pendleton from both districts
and there the votes were tabulat-
ed and the election declared.
The reason for this was, the par
Eish system prevailed in the lower
part of the state. by which each
parish had one representative
and one senator, and thus pre-
served power in the hands Of
the minority. The first court
