The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1921-05-26
LETTER FROM CATEECHEE.

little matrimonial mill on the pike
has been kept pretty busy of late.
The last happy couple to be sent
out from the little mill on matri-
monial voyage was on last Sunday
morning, the 22nd inst, when Mr..
c. w. Nicholson and Miss Chester
johnson left that abode with smile
ON their faces that foretold happy
young couple. The groom is of Pei
zcr while his charming bride is of
Liberty, and we venture the asser-
tlon that the return trip for the
groomto his domicile will not seem
half as long as it seemed coming.
May all sorrows, trials and tribula-
tlons of the past be oblivilated by the
happiness of the future is the prayer
OF the officiating officer, j. Alonzo
Brown.
Mr.. "Bob" Bowen, of the Alice
Mills, of Easlcy, has accepted a
position as ovcrscer of tn. weave
room at Catecchce and will enter
upon his new duties June lst.
A Lyric" thaater has'bccn opened
at Catecchee. Mr.. Luther Evans. of
Six Mile, being the manager. If YOU
want to attend good show, come
some Saturday night.
"ke ancr" Williams, a small son of
Mr. and Mrs. +. G. Williams, Of Ca
teechcc, is very i'll at this writing.
Little hopes for his recovery at this
writing.
The Catccchec school will close
June 3rd and the patrons of the
school are sorry to note the loss of it's
principal, Prof. Ray Chldrcss, who
has been elected as one Of the teach
crs OF the Six Mile Ac;,d emy for an
other year. Catecchcc's loss is SiX
Miles gain.
Miss Jessie Alexander, one Of the
teachers in the Catccchcc school ha,
! been indisposed fo4 the pass few
days Miss Josie CARAT, Of Ca
tecchee, has been filling her place il,
the school room and makes quite an
efficient teacher.
me closing exercises of the Nor
ris high school took place last week.
There were three graduates from this
school this session, namely, james p.
Garvin, Mr.. Entrckin and Miss Lii
liam Johnson, all of Norris.
Mr.. j. NJ. Clardy, of Norris, has
sold his farm near Camp Creek
church to Mr.. j. B. Bailey, superin-
tendent Of the Toccoa Mills, of Toe
Goa, Ga.
Owing to the continued damp, cold
weather, cotton, corn and all kinds of
farm stuff is very backward. Very
little cotton has bcecn thinncd in this
section and grass has good start.
Court will convene in our county
and we trust that all witnesses as
we'll as court officials Of every kind
VIII not hesitate to do their full duty
in helping to try to check the wave
Of crime. Human life has cot to be
too cheap, whiskcy too plentiful and
the law breaker let off too light If
a stop is not put to it in some way
or other the time is coming when it
will be a hard matter to get peace
officer. Look at the men who have
lost their lives in the past few years
trying to enforce the law, saving
nothing about others who have been
killed. How many Of these law
breakers have been clectrocutcd? 1t
IS discouraging to our peace officers
to see how light the law-brcakcr is
let off when they have risked their
lives and maybe stood by and saw
their brother officer killed trying to
enforce the law as they are sworn
to do and then see the aw-breaker
let off SO lightly. Remember,
those officers are expected to protect
our lives and property and without
their assistance where would we be?
Then if they put their lives at stake
let US stand by them as far as what
is right. A boot logger wants no
cheaper license to sell whiskey than
the fines they are receiving. They
can sell whiskey enough in one night
to pay the fine at the price they say
it is selling for. What do they care
for a part of the sentence being sus.
pended? They just laugh at that
and say it is d cheap license
No wonder the lynch law is in force
/ when the courts fail 70 DO their duty
This is frank but it is a fact.
