Sadness and Happi-
ness at CateeChee

|
AS the case is everywhere, the farm
ers in this section are badly behind with
their work. April nearly half gone and
scarcely any blowing done at all.
War is on us, nothing making, rations
going up every day, and whiskcy down
to quart month is the devil to tell
the captain. Well, you can't keep
workingman down, and as long as there
is will there is way. No man ever
perished to death in Pickens county or
died from thirst that we ever heard of.
We thank the legislature for reducing
the amount of that baneful stuff, whis-
key, if they did give us the devil on tax
alton. We never mind paying well for a
job being done if the job is done like we
want it. But "ain't" it hell to nav a
high price and get sorry job? We
have law on the statute books against
selling whiskey We pay taxes to
have that law enforced, and there
are places in Pickens county where
whiskcy land they tell me it is
the pure blockade, too) is sold openly,
board and above board, too. What is
wrong or dead up the creek? Officers
of Pickens county, get busy. No Won
dor the papers in other counties hit
Pickens county SO hard on the corn
question. No doubt the worthy editors
OF those papers get a little touch
when they come over and they feel so
grabbed and i'll next day they are snap
ping and biting at everything. Say,
boys, did you ever try carrying little
back with you?
A very sad accident happened in this
section last Tuesday, the Sd inst. Frank
Norris 17-year-ol white boy, was
plowing for Mitchell Roc, who lives near
Camp Creek church. When he quit
plowing for the day he took the mule
out, got on it to go to the house, and
when the mule got to the watering
place the boy stopped to let the mule
drink, it became excited at tub, Jump
ed over the tub and battling bench
near by, threw the boy off and caught
one foot in the plowline and dragged the
\ boy 750 yards over as rocky a road as
+, there is anywhere and. bit his head as
e many as one time if not more against a
8 rock wall about three feet high The
n boy was dead when help reached him.
He was buried the next day at Camp
Creek church
