Editors Krowek Couhtek: Referring to Mr. V??uov's eomowhat rambling let tor of last week, 1 desire to stato if ho is as good as his word ho will certainly have to kneel to the grand jury, and ? think that it would ho wo?l for him hil !n that humble attitude to offer an abject apology for the gratuitous insults and Mings at the grand jury in tho letter referred to. I take it that it would bo in as bad taste for mo to presumo to dofond tho action of tho grand jury as it was for Mr. Vernor to attack it. I will simply Btato that tho notes from which tlio pre sentment wore drafted wore made by myself and amended at the suggestion of various members of that body, until tho document mot with unanimous approval. Mr. Stribling's report is published ovor his own signature and for that alono is ho responsible. Mr. Vernor, to my mind, is now doubly culpahlo in that lio has not only committed a very grave error in placing tho county in a position in which it cannot liquidate its honest debts, but glories in his error. Now, Mosern. Edi tors, I am no politician or ollico ficokor, and merely write this from a sonso of justico to my fellow-mombors of tho grand jury. Yours, respectfully, C. M. NlBM>.

Editons: As it has boon eomo timo fiinco wo havo givon tho COURIER any dots, wo concludod to lot its many readers hoar from Pickens county again. Picking cotton is tho order of tho day. Tlio report ib that there is not going to bo near as much cotton made this yoar as tho farmers thought thoro would bo. With a short crop and four cords a pound what is to becomo of tho men who mako their broad by tho sweat of thoir brow ? "Tho way of tho transgressor is hard." Surely tho Lord meant thoso who raiso cotton when ho wroto that Bontenco. The corn ero; s in this county are lino, tiiat is tho upland corn. Bottom corn is damaged moro or loss. Owing to so much rain a good deal of tho fodder was loft. Most of what was saved Is damaged to somo oxtont. Thoro has boon moro hay saved in this county than was ever known before. Mont of tho farmors havo bogun to ro ali/.c that thoy must bogin at littlo things to accomplish big onos. Tho Norrie Cotton Mills aro running day and night. They mako a fino grade of goods. Tho superintendent Bays ho has orders for thoir goods twolvo months ahead. Thoy havo moro bands to apply for work than tiioy can accommodate. If ono happons to loavo and goes to Romo other factory, it is not long until ho returns and wants to bo takon hack. The locality and salubrity, as woll as many othor advantages, of tho Norrie Cctton Mills, are such as to ontico omploycoB of othor factories to como boro.
