Facts-Mot Boasts

Our good friend. Mr.. Martin.
editor of the Easley Progress,
made a statement in his paper
about The Pickens Sentinel a
week or two ago which was
without foundation, when he
said the Pickens paper went to
the wall, for some cause, Sept
ember last.
The Sentinel is in better finan-
cial co ,dition today than it has
been since twas born more
than forty-two years ago. and
has some Of the strongest and
most successful moneyed men
in the county behind it. 1t has
a larger circulation than it has
ever had before and the pros
poets for the future are bright.
: We are giving the people a
good, clean, home paper and we
have good reason to believe
they like it.
The S,ntinel has more than
1900 paid up subscribers, which
we claim is twice as many as
the Easley paper has. If we
claim too much. let the Pro
gress come across with a state
ment as to their paid-up circu-
lation and if they have more
than half as many paid-up sub.
scribers as we have, we will
Quit claiming twice as many.
