Mr. and Mrs. y. M. Knox, Of
Anderson, we're in Walhalla for a
short while last Thursday among
friends. Mr.. Knox is very much
elated over the prospects Of benefits
to his section of Anderson county,
in which a great deal of dredging
on "Six-and-Twenty" is being done.
1t is estimated that this work will
reclaim something more than 1900
acres Of land that has been subject
to damaging overfows. The work
is now progressing satisfactorily for
the first time in months, the short
age OF labor incident to the war hay
ing greatly interfered with opera
uons for time, eventually closing
them down entirely. Mr.. Knox and
his good wife are always welcome
visitors in Walhalla.

Prof. Y. G. HARRISON, accom-
panied by r. W. Shields, paid The
Courier Office a pleasant call Mon
day morning. Prof. HARRISON is an
old friend, known to many of Oco-
neeS people, especially those Of the
upper portion Of the county, for he
has for many years been living at
Highlands, N. c., though his duties
call for his presence in practically
every section Of the South. He is
connected with Harvard University
in the capacity of Southern Field
Botanist. He was home for a few
days and met with Mr.. Shields, who
is Forest Supervisor, with headquar-

taking great interest in the pro-
posed "Three-State Road" which Is
the main highway from Walhalla to
Highlands. Recently the govern

the National Forest Preserves are
located. and nearby territory. We
are, fortunately, near the Appa!a-
chian Forest Preserve, and we can, if
we will benefit by the Federal gov
ornments generosity. 1t is desired
to make the mountain road from this
section, through small portion of
Georgia and on to Highlands one of
the ideal roads Of the country. I'll
