FROM cA'gEEc CHEZ.

haven't seen but. two loads Of guano
hauled out this season up to this writ
ing. Our opinion is the guano COM
panies will not spend as many Sleep
less nights brooding over accounts
for the year 1921 as they have over
accounts made in the year 1920.
With the present price of cotton the
farmers haven't got any heart to
commence cotton crop. Let the
farmers plant corn, raise their meat
and other stuff to live on at home,
darn up the windows" in their
breeches, wear course shoes and
cheap hats, let the world get hungry
for cotton and then keep it that way
cotton will then demand a price to
justify raising it.
Mr.. C. l.. Potter, who has BET the
general manager of the company
store at this place for some time, has
resigned his position and gone to
Cowpens to go in business for him
self. He was superseded by Mr.. w.
A. Burgess, who served in the same
capacity for some time few years
ago. Magistrate l.. l.. Leopard, who
has served as clerk in the company
store for some time, accepted Of Mr..
Burgess place and is now outside
boss.
Little Luther Leopard, son of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. l.. Leopard, of Cateechee,
who was seriously burned by his
clothing catching on fire from the
CRATE few mornings ago, is getting
along as well as could be expected
considering his burns. Luther is a
bright child and his friends hope for
him speedy recovery.
Chief Holcombe, of Easley, had
many friends in this section who
were sorry to hear of his death.
We are glad to know that Pickens
| county have some officers who are
willing and fearless enough, if cir
cumstances justify it, to die to up
hold the laws of our country as we'll
as the boys in France offered their
| lives and some lost their lives in the
defense of their country. Rural Po-
liceman r. L. Chapman deserves
commentator for his bravery in fol-
lowing and capturing those law
breakers after they had killed Chief
| Holcombe.
If each offender would feel the ef-
fects of breaking the. law as they
should there would be less violations
of the law.
l am sorry to say our chief execu-
tlNes, our magistrates, our jurors and
our judges are too easy. Let a
burnt child realize the effects of the
fire and it will not be so quick to
Venture.
After the dead man is gone the
sympathy is always for the defend
ant. Remember, jurors, the defend
ant can tell his tail about it and the
dead man cannot. If l were chief
executive of the state there would
be very few cases l would pardon.
would not want the blood of the slain
man on my hands.
