The happiest man to-day is the man ! who is not looking for office under the ! new administration. Ile has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Ex-Secretary Tracy says that, in addi tion to the hard labor and constant anx iety, his Cabinet life cost him about 830,000 a year over and above his salary. Parties goinvg on to Washington to se- ? ; cure an appointment would be acting the . part of prudence to provide themselves with return tickets. ^ On a single dollar note a Washington ! < board of health doctor found the germs : < of three different dirt diseases. Ir makes ; : one shudder to think of what a 8100 bill i 1 might represent in its filthy lucre way. j ' The planting season approaches, when j : every editor who knows the difference | between a dinner horn and a fallow field : begins to tell the farmer how to plant his < : crop. Every day brings news of certain classes who need not expect office under , ' the new administration, but there i.< a j pitiful lack of information concerning j those who may. Who is qualified for office is the crying question of the hour, j An elaborate preliminary programme j has been prepared for the State Sunday ! School Convention to bc in session two days at Abbeville, from April 4th to 6th. ; Reduced railroad rates will be procured ? over all roads. A pension office clerk a few days a?

Delegates to the District Conference will be elected on this round. Secretary of State Tindal, one of the Trustees of Clemson College, says there has been a steady increase in the number of applicants for admission to the college. At the last meeting there were only about 250 young men who ha l sent no tices to the effect that they were certain of attending. Since that time enough additional replies have bee? received to run the opening number up to nearly 400. Thc enterprising citizens of Batesburg have f.<rmed a company for the establish ment of a fifty thousand dollar cotton mill. It is said that the mill will be built at once. Why can't Walhalla get up a fifty thousand dollar cotton mill ? We believe it can be done. Who will move in the matter? We know of men in this community who could if they would .sub scribe 85,000 or 810,000 a piece. Let's have the factory. It will help everybody. The wife Dr. B. Frank Smith, of El berton, Ga,, is on a visit to bis father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Smith, of Walhalla. Mrs. Smith is accompanied by her two little children.

On account of advancing years he retired from business four years ago upon a well earned competency.

The new law creating County Boards of Medical Examiners instead of the old State Board is causing serious complica tion.

Greenville Xetcs : "Many of the wit nesses at the United States Court are kicking and are obviously unhappy. Tliey are defendaut witnesses who are touched in the tenderest and deepest recesses of their souls and pockets by the enforcement of the rule that wit nesses of a defendant, unless expressly summoned hy the court, shall not be paid a red cent for coming here to testify. Many of them have had to borrow money to enable them to get back to their homes and it will be a frosty day before they come to testify for an accused again unless ordered by the court. The effect of the enforcement will probably have the result of materially decreasing the number of witnesses hereafter." It seems that some negroes never will earn the danger of leaving home and locking up small children in the house. ?M.; }one YVediicsilav afternoon bv Wnl and Mag ?v u... . ,. . - . ,vho live in Mid way. in a small house on a Co...- e Law lot. They have two small children ami locked them in before leaving. The children put a broom in thc lire and then stuck it to the bed. which caught, and soon the inside was in a mass of flames. A little negro of another family hi p pened just then to be passing. He dis covered the lire and raised the alarm. Fortunately several men were working near by. They ran to the rescue, burst open the door, took out the little negroes and by heroic efforts saved the house, but ail the inside was burned. The negroes lost their household effects. The United States Court at Greenville has determined th? following cases, among many others: B. F. Coward, re tailing, was tried in his absence and found guilty. Sealed sentence.

There is no place in thc county, per haps, t! .t will surpass the home and farm of Dr. T. G. C. Fahnestock for the comfort and utility of its appointments. The fust of this week we paid him a brief visit at his home, on the Westmin ster road, two miles from Walhalla. Here the doctor has one of the most valuable farms, containing over three hundred acres. Much ef it is cultivated on the intensive system and its yields are prolitic. But thc greatest novelty for these parts is his ice house, io which is securely packed away over forty-nine te^a of solid ice. During the cold spell in January he gathered from his large fish pond this immense quantity of iee. It froze to the thickness of six inches, and the huge blocks of ice were cut; in squares and packed away as though it was so much wood. The house is built almost entirely above ground, the walls are about one foot apart, and all between filled with saw-dust. The layers of saw-dust, both above and below the ice, are at least a foot thick. Since stcring it away the melting has been so small as to be scarcely perceptible. In connection with his fish pond is an hydraulic ram. which is the most com plete and economical device for a pump ever yet devised. The pond is in a hol low seven hundred and fifty feet from the dwelling house, aud one hundred and ten feet below its level. In the top or the dwelling is a large tank, which is supplied with a constant stream of water from the pond. The water is forced to this height aud distance by the simple little hydraulic ram. which does its work without hurry or flurry and never tires of its endless task. In it is found the nearest approach" to a perpetual motion ever yet invented by the genius of man. It was started on the nth day of August, 1883, and has been silently doing its work, day and night, ever sime. From the tank in his tower the water is con veyed through pipos into every room ol the house, to the lot for stock and to the garden for purposes cf irrigation. Dr. Fahnestock is a successful gardener, too. Just now he is putting out one thousand asparagus plants, several hun dred raspberries and different kinds oi early vegetables. Near by, he has ? thrifty young vineyard, from which h< gathers grapes every year for domestie use, and makes, besides, one or two bar reis of the most delicious wine. It would be profitable, as well as pleas ant, for many of our farmers to visit Dr Fahnestock's farm, to study its appoint ments and manner of cultivation, into the details of which we have not th? time nor space to enter. We feel sure however, that any one would gain som? valuable ideas by au inspection of hi home and farm. The Bead Law. A mistake was made in the publication of the road law last week. Sections 1085 to 1094 of the General Statutes are cor rect and applicable to Oconee county. But the ten sections, under the caption "The New Road Law," constitute a spe cial statute regulating the working of roads in Newberry, Abbeville and some other counties. It has no application in Oconne county. Wo would call attention again to the exemptions from road duty. None but teachers and students of schools and col leges and ministers, who are serving a congregation as pastor, are exempt. Some think that school trustees are ex empt, but they are not. In Oconee a commutation tax of four dollars is allowed, provided it is paid between the first days of January and March in each year. We regret the mistake made in the publication last week. It was done inad vertently by cutting same from one of our exchanges. Our County Commis sioners did not request the publication of the Act, but had simply requested us in a general way to publish the road law as applicable to Oconee county. The mistake was ours and we take this, the i first, opportunity of correcting it. Real Estate Transfers in Oconee Conuty for the Month of February, 1893.

Under thc above heading an exchange has thc following to say, and we endorse every word of it and hope our readers will profit by it and send us iu the news if they have any: "A local newspaper is often accused of bias in regard to giving personal notices, commenting on the coming and going of some and omitting others. The accusa tion is very wrong ami unjust. It is with thc people and not the editor. He is always willing and even anxious to tell who comes and goes, if he can find out; but a country paper cannot afford to have a score of salaried reporters. If you have visitors, let us know who they are and where they came from ; if any thing happens in your community, let us know all about it; if you know anything tell us all about it. You will find cs as ready to notice one as another, patron or otherwise, friend or foe." County Alliance Meetings.

COURIER : On account of so mud bad weather this spring the farmers c this vicinity are not as well up with thei work as they would like to be. Worl has been pushed rapidly the past tei days, and we notice that some corn ha been planted. "Wheat and oats look ver promising, especially the fall sown oats There has been more guano sold an< delivered at Westminster this season thai we ever saw before. Last week th streets were blockaded with wagons o every description loaded with fertilizers The Fanners' Alliance order theirs b; the car load, and there are several mer chants here who sell and are kept bus; most all the time. Prohibition don't seem to prohib? much in these parts. Last fall a socia club bar-room was established just out side the incorporate limits of town j The people here were opposed to it ver] much, but nothing could be done to pre vent it. It closed up on the first of Jan uary and everybody was made glad, foi they expected to see no moro whiskey drinking and drunkenness. To the sor row of us all the same thing was renewe? this spring. It did not continue so lonf this time as before. We learn that or la*t Saturday a man came from parti unknown and soid a large quantity ai the noted "social club house." He die not seem to have any fear of the law whatever. He disposed of so much thal on Sunday the Irishman, the German, tho Englishman, the American and the African all got drunk together at the samt time. On Monday a citizen of this plact went to see him and told him he had bet ter leave OT he would be reported. H( replied that he was not afraid of the law. Late in the afternoon he was seen two 01 three miles above town with the keg or his shoulder and making tracks for th? mountains. The Westminster brass band have beer touching up the town with some nice music the past few weeks. We wish this band success, as nothing improves a town more than good music. Rev. W. B. Justus preached an inter esting sermon to a large congregation on last Sunday on the rules governing the Methodist church. Rev. W. W. Leathers, pastor of the Baptist church at this place, will preach at Toxaway church on next Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Leathers is an eloquent divine and we bespeak for him a large congregation. Miss Daisy Justus, an amiable young lady of Hendersonville, N. C., is visiting her brother, Rev. W. B. Justus. She will remain here for some time for the purpose of teachiug a class in music. She is a fine organist.
