0169
Description:
Letter
from William M. Justice (at the time he was the Superintendent of
Schools for Polk County) to one of his brothers, probably C. B.
Justice, dated April 13, 1907. Among other items, he advises him not
to place any more options on Grant 1024 for 90 days. As a company in
Landrum is planning to put a dynamo on the river to generate power
to be transferred to Landrum to operate some mines. "If they do
this, the first thing they will do is build a railroad to be able to
ship their machinery. Joe Lee of Landrum is so confident that the
thing will go through that he has invested considerable money." If
this enterprise succeeds it will open up means of transportation
whereby timber products can be moved. This has always been "one
great hindrance to selling" land. "I tell you this for what it is
worth." Signed ___ and William M. Justice.
