plCkENS RAILROAD

we read an article in the Sentinel
few weeks ago, written by Dir. J.
T. Taylor manager Of the p;ckens
Railroad Company, that should be
given serious consideration in on,
opinion, not only by the merchants
in PicI;cns, but also BY every business
man in Pickcns, and every farmer in
this immediate section. There ;s
more truth than poetry in what Mr.,
Taylor had to say about the pickens
Railroad. A railroad is like any other
business enterprise, unless thew do
business to ut least make expenses,
there is nothing left for them but ia
go out of business a great deal O.
freight for the past year or SO has
been brought to pickens on trucks,
which has cut the Pickens Railroad
Company out Of quite lot Of busi
ness. Some merchants might figure
That they can have their freight de-
iiNered cheaper by truck than over
the railroad this may be true on
small packages, but what are you go
ing to do about coal, fertilizer and
several other items that cannot be
handed by trucks, if YOU didn't hav.
the railroad. Just figure for a min.
ute luSt what effect the Pickens Rail.
road closing down would have on
every business in Pickcns, and o,
every farm in this section.
This road was finished in 1898, ant
we very well remember condition.
existing in this town before that
time. There were several merchant.
here doing business, Hagood, Bruc,
L. Company, W. L. McFaH, A. NJ
Norris, and few others. Uncle
Mike kennemorc and Peter Hagoot
hauled most Of the merchandise from
Easlcy that was sold in Pickens. The
merchants in business here at that
time made a living, but they would
tell you it was just a little inconvcni-
cnt. The farmers in those days who
used fertilizer had to haul if from
Easlcy or Liberty.
We do not know anything about
the financial standing Of the Pickens
Railroad Company for it is not our
business to know, but as Mr.. Taylor
has sounded note of warning, we
just wished to express our views OF
that matter. AS far as we are con
cerncd about the welfare Of this road
we have instructed every wholesale
house of whom we buy goods, tc
ship these goods by freight. If they
are sent to Us by truck they will be
returned. What does few cents
difference in the charges amount to
when as vital Il problem as our rail
roads existence might stand in
jeopardy, when it has made our little
town what it is today
PatroniZc The pickcns Railroad,
ride when YOU can, and have every
thing YOU use shipped over it, cut
out the trucks, for it might pay you
in the long run.

FAMILY REUNION

" Wy 'loSt enJoyaDlc events
OF the autumnal season was the com
ing together of the relatives Of Miss
Emmie Neighbors, including the
brothers and sisters of Mrs. ]. Law
renee Cantrell.
This reunicn was held at the old
Neighbors' homestead which nestles
among the hills near old Ruhama
church about four miles south Of Lib
erty, S. c.
Aunt Emmie celebrated her s9th.
birthday on November 7th. but for
various reasons the reunion was held
on November 9Th.
1t is quite remarkable fact that
although Aunt Emmic is 80 she has
never called in physician. She is
still able to walk about the house
with the aid Of a chair. When asked
how she felt she replied. "as well as
ever
Aunt Emmie is the only surviving
member of a family Of seven brothers
and sisters. Nearly all Of those who
We're fortunate enough to be present
to enjoy the happy occasion were
di. cct 'icscen1cntH Of her sister Mrs.
John s. Newton.
Conversation was at its height
when the aprctz!ng cdcr Of coffee
made the announcements: that dinner
Was almost ready. Soon every one
found the tabl, which had been fill
ed with good things to eat from the
many baskets brought. The hardest
task for each was to say, "No thank
you,' and walk away from the table
which was still bount:fuily spread
after every one had more than salts
fled his greatest anticipationS Of a
picnic dinner.
y striking event of the day hap
pened durin" this noon hour. Al
though every one was busy, their at
tcntion was attracted to 4 loud hum
ming noise which upon investigations
proved to be the passing Of large
acroplanc. Thus, in hrr lifetime

Gus transformations in the modes of
travel since 1882.

N ew Deal In
Indian Land Grants

Washington, Dec 13.-Commis-
sioner Burke of Indian affairs, an
nounced today through his annual
report that he had found it unwise
to continue the recognition of In
dians of one-half or less Indian
blood as competent without further
proof. Nearly million acres oi
land, the commissioner stated, were
allotted to Indians during the year
ending last June 80 and 1.70O pa
tents in fee were issued to compe-
tent Indians. In this connection MI
Burke in his report said it will be
the purpose of the bureau under his
administration so far as possible to
test the applicant for patent in Zee
by actual accomplishments on his
land or in some occupation before
granting full title to his property.
The commissioner announced a re
vision of the course of study for In
dian schools.
The report showed greatly reduc
ed applications for suppression o.
the liquor traffic among the In
dians.
Much credit was given by the com
mission to the labors of the Chris
tian missionaries who now number
more than 600 throughout the In
dian country.

WOMAN CAPTURES
RARE ANIMALS
WIFE HAND COUNTY FARMER
CAPTURES CANADIAN FISH.
ERS-FURS ARE WORTH
$3.50 EACH.

Miller, Dec. 13-Straying far from
their native haunts in Canada, two
Canadian fishers, which are valuable
fur-bearing animals, were caught by
Mrs. PSter Kane, wife of a Hand
county farmer. These are the first
animals of this kind ever reported
trapped in South Dakota and they
evidently drifted from Canada and
across North Dakota nearly to the
central part of South Dakota.
Little has been known of those
animals in South Dakota. They bes
long to the marten family and re-.
semble the American wolverine. The
fur lis very fine, is long and of a
rich brown color, the outer edges
showing grisly coloring and shading
off much darker, the fur being lux
uriant and durable.
Mrs. Kane states that the furs are
worth about $50 each. In some
Quarters they are reported worth
more than that. expert fur men stat
ing that the fisher skins are about
equal in value to the skins of the
natural blue fox. Business institu-
tions handling made fur garments
list single neck pieces made of fish
er fur at as high as s400 for the
best duality.
Therefore Mrs. Kane made q val
liable killing" when she captured
the two fishers. A watch now Is be
ing kept in the vicinity of the Kane
home to discover If any other fish
ers have strayed from Canada to this
part of South Dakota.

PACIFIC Peace
TREATY is SIGNED
SIGNATURES AFFIXED WHICH
SCRAPS THE ANGLO JAPAN
ESE ALLIANCE.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The four
great powers of the world today af-
fixed their signatures to a treaty
which scraps the Anglo-Japanese al
lance and solemnly pledges all to
preserve peace across the Pacific
ocean. With typical American sim
plicity the great document, consider
ed one OF the most important in the
history of the world, was signed in
the office of Secretary Hughes. Only
plenipotentiaries of the four powers
were present. The pomp and cere-
mony which usually is attached to
such important events was entirely
absent. The treaty now goes to the
respective governments for ratifica-
ton by the legislative bodies and
will be put into effect when the de-
posit of the notifications is made
here. That action will formally scrap
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, just as
the signing of the treaty was COM
pleted it was learned on the highest
authority that President Harding
does not intend to submit it to the
senate for ratification until after
the close of the arms conference.
