Many Changes At
Cateechee Town

J There is going to be general migra.
tion in this section.
Mr.. j. w. Thomas, the boss carder Of
the Norris cotton mills, and Mr.. H. A.
Shirley, the boss carder of the Ark.
wright mills in Spartanburg, have ex.
changed places.
Messrs. j. H. Chapman of Central
route and John Roper of Six Mile have
swapped places. We are sorry Mr..
Chapman is getting farther from us,
but glad that he will be no farther than
I Six Mile. We welcome Mr.. Roper into
our section.
Mr. Mitchell Roe of Six Mile has
bought the Thomas Pilgrim place near
Camp Creek church and will move to it.
Mr.. Thomas Pilgrim has bought part
of Mr.. d. M. Newton's farm near Nor
ris and will move to it.
Mr.. D. M. Newton has bought house
and lot in Central and will move to it.
We are sincerely sorry to give Mr.. New
ton and his good family up, for they are
Christian people and a shining light to
their community, but Cateechee's loss
is Central's gain.
Mr.. w. R. Hutchinson, general man
ager of the Company store at Catee-
chez, will leave the 18th inst. for Pelzer
to accept similar position. We are
sincerely sorry to lose such man as
MIR. Hutchinson, for his place not only
in the store will be hard to fill, but he
will be missed in the community as q
citizen and in the church as an earnest
and untiring worker. He has been sec.
retary of the Cateechee Sunday school
for sometime and is always present.
Rumor has it that Mr.. G. F. Norris
is soon to move to Greenville. but we
have been unable to learn whether the
rumor is true or not, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Norris are on an extended visit tc
Batesburg and Orangeburg. We hope
the rumor is not true.
The many friends of MIR. j. F. Viii
liams, our efficient postmaster and tn,
cotton weigher at Cateechee, will b,
sorry to learn that he got his ankl,
broken last Saturday by two bales O.
cotton falling on him. We hope he will
soon be out again. B.

New Clerk of Court
Assumes His Duties

| u. 5. Stewart, who was elected as
clerk of court of Pickens county in the
recent election, assumed the duties of
that office Tuesday, January 2, 1917.
i The new clerk is the oldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Stewart. He was born
IN 1868 on the west side of the county
and was reared on the farm and received
ms education in the common schools.
Ills first job off the farm was in store
and ne remained with the same firm fif-
teen years, during which time he took
a business course in Greenville bust
ness college and served as bookkeeper
for several, years. Men whom he had
been associated with in business way
were among his strongest supporters in.
his campaign for the clerk 8 office, which
fact speaks well for any man in public
or private life. Mr.. Stewart is proba-
bly, the first Pickens county officer ever
elected who is exactly the same age as
the county, having been born the year
Plckens and Oconee were divided into
two counties. He had an even start
with the county and it is safe to saw he
will keep up with it.
For many years Pickens county has
enjoyed the reputation Of having the
best clerk of court in the state, and we
feel sure that it will continue to enioy
this distinction with Mr.. Stewart in the
office. He will.be assisted in the office
by that excellent gentleman, j. M.
Stewart, who was for many years clerk,
and by Mrs. Lena Cox.
Mr.. Stewart is the first of the recent
~ elected county officers to go into office.
Auditor Christopher's term Will expire
in February, while Treasurer Stewart
and Superintendent Hallum hold over
until July /.

Wants Better Roads
I'm PickenS County

Editor Sentinel: AS the New Year il
here and our law makers are about t.
enter upon their duties, think it is the
time for us to get our minds together
and tell them just what we would like tt
nave done for another year or more
l, for one, am not satisfied with oul
roads and bridges. don't think this is
the time to lay up money for the coun
ty, and it seems to me the present gu
pervisor must have a big sum to the
credit of the county, and if this is not
true we certainly are going to the bad
for the past three years.
Oconee county has improved her roads
wonderfully for the last four years, and
with a lot less money than we have been
using. Greenville county is building fine
roads, but using lot of money, which
think she will be proud of, and deserves
lot of credit for making the start.
Plckens county has no outlet across the
mountains and very poor roads all over
the county. Shall we sit still and con-
tlnue to go backward in road building?
l think everyone should speak out and
say so if you are satisfied.
| for one have no choice in who is su-
pervisor, even though he refuses to listen
at my troubles, and think this is a pretty
good plan, but I am wanting to see come
results from the other fellows plan.
Let us all come together and work for
the upbuilding of our roads and county,
and let 1917 be known as the most pros
porous year in our history in the i'm
provement of our county and roads.
Respectfully,
SUBSCRIBER ON ROUTE 3

Christmas Tree at
the Pickens Mill

Saturday night. December %, Was q
happy occasion for this community. We
had both an entertainment and Christ
mas tree all in one. The school children
gave the entertainments and Santa Claus
gave the tree. Two trees, in fact, and
both well-laden with gifts for both old
and young
At six-thirty the children came troop
ing in. Joy, mingled winh serious re-
sponsibility, shone in each little face;
for getting into ones costume in crowd
ed dressing rooms, and being ready
when ones time came, was no small
undertaking for sixty-odd small people.
The aim of the evenings undertaking
was to set forth the true meaning of
the Christmas festivities.
The children acted their parts well.
Each little person was ION the Job"
when the time came. The band gave
good music, the decorations were beau
tiful, the committees did excellent work,
and the whole occasion was big sue
cess, due largely to the management of
Mr.. Jewell, the superintendent of the
Sunday school. CORRESPONDENT.
