A Voice From Oconee.

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser: :
This is my birthday and I will
tell you something about this coun.
ty. We live between Richland and
Bounty-land, two and half miles
from Seneca city, eight miles from
Walhalla and four miles from
Westminster. At the foothills of
the Blue Ridge mountains, which
is new every morning and fresh
every evening"" and when the day
is clear, one can see them just as
far as the vision can reach.
Oconee county used to be the Red
mans tramping ground and there
were ten different tribes that lived
in this county and Raband county,
Ga. The Tugaloo river divides S.
G. and Ca, this river and Seneca
river forming the Savannah.
In the long ago there were game
of all kind that roved over these
hills, and the streams were flooded
with shad and mountain trout, The
keomee river, the little stream
along whose rugged banks the i'm
mortal Indians scout, Daniel Boone
travelled on foot through an un-
broken forest on his way to Ken
lucky from North Carolins-the
dark and bloody ground where the
willy Red Man, true to his nature
and to the love of his happy hunt
ing ground" resisted his pale-face
brother to the death. The stealthy
Indian is gone, his rude wigwam.
his faithful squaw and the little
papooses ale not here. His flint and
steel muzzle loading rifle, before
which the bear, wolf, panther, and
the fleet footed deer bit the dust,
has been replaced by the splendid
breech-loader, the white men with
rifle, axe and saddle bags taken this
goodly land.
This county is thickly populated
with some of the best people in the
State. While the land is broken it
is all fresh and productive, pure wa
ter and healthy climate, and there
are more old people that live in
Oconee than any other county in
the State. The crops in this COM
munity were better this year than
for long while before and did not
suffer for rain one day. The fall
season never was more beautiful for
gathering, and the heecy staple
jumped from ten to twenty cents.
The cribs are full of corn, barns are
packed with fodder and pea-vine
hay, the hogs have been slaughtered
and everybody is laughing and
growing fat.
We have not had any snow yet,
but the distant mountains to the
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1917-01-03

north and west of Walhalla are snow
capped, and a good stiff breeze from
the west gives a decidedly chilly
temperate here.
You must remember also that
Clemson College is in Oconee and
it is big plant. 1t has IN its en-
ploy ll6 teachers and officers. Its
inventoried property is 81 ,327, 1913.
81. Some time 10 the future L will
write up this plant.
While nature has done great
deal for Clemson, man has wonder
fully improved the surroundings.
We like Oconee county, not only
on the principle that it is a poor
frog that won't praise his own pond
but because it is unquestionably
great county with a great future. I
am about to omit telling about the
pigs that have been killed in the
community. Mr.. Bryant's pig net
him 625 lbs and others from 275 to
585 lbs net. The Durock and the
Berkshire (full blood) are the hogs,
for this county.
The Confederate Reunion meets
in the city of Washington next May
and the railroads have agreed to
sell tickets for one cent per mile.
Now, can't the State of S. G. pay
that one cent mileage which will be
about ten dollars to the man. There
will be host of the boys there who
wore the blue, and that will be an
other peace celebration a kin to
that at Gettysburg. That was an
old time antebelfum Methodist Love
Feast. The State owes that much
to the old veterans who gave four
years of their young life in her de-
fense, together with their blood and
limbs. And then the State can't
afford to stand aside and nee the
railroads give cent and half and
her nothing. I will ask the Hon.
Walker to introduce bill in the
General Assembly to that end.
The State did herself proud when
she paid the veterans way to the
great peace celebration at Gettys-
burg, which did more to bring
about better feeling between the
North and South than anything that
has ever happened since our. cause
was buried in its grave at Appomot-
tox. Another reason why the State
should pay the other one cent is,
that there are lot of veterans who
are not able to pay the price, and
there are many old fellows that
have never seen the Capital of this
great country of ours, and each one

done by a gift of 500, to be paid
in four years.
Mrs. P. n. Lott suggested that
after the Chapter had marked Emf
ly Gieeer's grave, that they devote
their efforts to public library here,
naming the school grounds as a
splendid place for this memorial to
Emily Gieger. She felt that if the
Chapter would raise a certain
amount, that Carnegie would give
the rest.
