horses, and The Indians, sometimes
on missicAs Of peace and coed will
and al other times lcavingit horrible
with their dcl relations of crime and
of bloOdshcl.
The life of the early settlers Of
the upper country is during this time
seen in its primitive and weakest
stage; the efforts of the Provincial
governors to keep down war with the
Indians by means of treaties; the
trouble with the French, who were
ever on the alert to voy off the Indi-
ans from their .:r tful trad. with
the English, and who were also plot
ing the utter annihiiation of the Eng
lish cn the continent; the French and
Indian war, and humorous other
events that are recorded i'm many in
tercsting volumes, are left to us from
this period of 1910 to 1868.
The next political division made
directly affecting iickcns county was
in the year l16S. The northwestern
part OF the state, including the pres
ent counties Of Oconee, Pickens, An
derson, Grccnvillc and Laurcns, were
formed into Ninty-Six district and
remained within the same until 1791.
1t was during this period that we
fought our last war with the Indians,
which was caused by British agents
for the purpose Of helping Great
Britain in the American Revolution.
Again in the year 1871. another
division of territory was necessary
On account of the ever increasing
population, caused largely by the
steady flow Of emigrants from other
parts of the country. The new dis
trict embraced the present counties
of Oconee, Pickcns, Anderson and
Greenville, and was known as Wash
ington district, with its Courthouse
town at Pickcnsvillc, about one mile
south of Easlcy, S. c. Washington
District remained in existance until
1913.
On account of the geographical
situation Of this part of the State
congcnial climate, and fertile lands
immigration continued, and in l79S
Pendlctoh district was cut off from
Washington, with the other part
taking the name of Grecnvillc. Pen,
dleton district was composed Of wha,
is now Pickens, Oconcc and Andcrso,
counties, and Pendleton was the cour
house town.

sSt,istGry of pickcns ccunty which he
Is rrC Cparng).
4 The political divisions of South
Carolina beginning in 1910 and term
4Inating in the formation of Pickcns
county, forms Il chapter in South
Carolina history both interesting and
ant-intercsting for it's num-
ercus legends and historical infor-
nation, and important for its effects
upon the then weak frontier settle
ments, and that part of the state
which in the future must have its in
tlucnce throughout the state on ac-
count Of its geographical situation.
In the year 1910 when the first
white man set his foot as a prrman-
ant citizen upon South Cardinals fair
soil his only neighbor was the red
man; while the land upon which he
settled was one vast primeval wild
@rness. Roaming over her fertile wales
and wooded hills were animals of
almost every description, and in her
placid streams Of the low country,
and dashing, bostcrous ones of the
upper country are found numerous
'inds of fish in wonderous plenty.
For awhile after the first perman-
ent settlement was made, there was
no thought of political jurisdiction
over any part Of South Caroline save
that Of Charleston, but with the com
jng OF new settlers, and the growth
nnd expansion Of the frail .llt!c set
rlement, 1T was soon evident that new
territory must be acquired; and thus

SUPERINTENDENrS OF EDUCA.
TION OF PICKENS COUNTY.

Since Pickcns county was organized
Nlty-two years ago it has had only
ciNht yuLerintcndcnts Of education.
Majc" ID. +. Bradley was the county'*
first superintendent Of education
Uhcn called school commissioner
and was succeeded by Mr.. II. A.
Bowen. Mr. Moses Hendricks was
elected next. but he died before
he took the office. Mr.. George
Singleton, who was second in the
race, was appointed to the office and
was later elected several times. He
was succeeded by the following
gentleman in the order named: Mr.
Laban Mauldin, Mr.. j. r. Glazener,
Mr.. w. w. f. Bright, who died in
office, Mr. r. II. Hallum and f. v.

lated of this period. The formation
Of the first agricultural society in the
State and the second in the United
States; the beginning Of agitation Of
the slavery question, with that of
tariff and the States rights question,
led by Calhoun from this district;
and the beginning of mastering.
These formed the leading issues Of
this period Of our history.
Pendlcton remained district until
1926 when il was divided, giving An
dcrson the southern part, and the
present counties of Oconce and Pick
ems forming Pickcns district. The
court house town Of Pickcns district
was located about ten miles west of
the present town Of Pickens, on the
west banks of the keowee river. Old
Pickcns remained the district seat
until after the Civil war, when in the
year 1868 the Keowcc river was made
the line and Oconee and Pickens
counties were formed.
Lately, there has been some talk
of another division Of part Of Geo
nee, Pickcns and Anderson counties
into still another county, but as yet
nothing has materialiZed. Whether or
not this new project is really needed
or whether it grew out of prc,iudiced
and discontentcd minds, time alone
will reveal.
Looking back to the very begin
ming Of our country, and scanning her
history briefly, we can easily see hcr
shortcomings, as we'll as her achieve
mcnts; vet with the ever turning
wheels of time, progress has kcp
apacc until now she is ranked will
the first in the State.

The only country that seems to have

king has ordered out the reserves. The
chances are, however, that it is all a
bluff. Greece is poor as a rock and
very heavily in debt besides. A three
months war would cost her a great

even if she should win. It is very
probable that France and England will
prevail on the Greeks to keep the
peace.
