Tho Ure vard Loador says: Tho ottixoMB of Brovard and tho Cppor French Broad Valloy would do woll to "look to thoir laurols." Tho opportu nity of thia dooiulo is abbat to slip through thoir lingers, if tho tido of travo' turns from Bvcvard toward Wal halla it will bo a Bovore blow to this soo tlon. Tho Sapphiro country is fast bo ooming tho most noted resort in tho mountains and Brovard baa roootvod a liberal sharo of tho bonollts realized from tho visiting population to that oommunlty for a number of yoars. Tho Toxaway Company has indioatod a prof oronco for Brovard iu ovox\y matter of diroot importanco to nil interested par ties, but our poople hnvo failed to show thoir propor appreciation in those mat tors, and having, lt scorns, despaired of securing tho completion of tho turnpiko to Brovard, they havo turned thoir at tention to Walhalla with tho result stated abovo. Will our pcoplo longor neglect this important matter ? Tho pooplo of Walhalla havo ontored into tho building roforrod to in tho abovo article with tho determination to com ploto tho enterprise. Tho proposed road is an undertaking that will hoof inoalou lablo bonofit to a largo portie ? of tho Upper part of Ooouoo county, as it will givo thom a well graded road to Wal halla and all tho lowor portion of tho county, which is something thoy havo folt tho need of for many yoars.

EDITONS COUHIKH : Doubtless tho printers, editors and public aro tiring of this thing. Ilowovor, I havo boon told sinco 1 wrote to tho CouiirsR that Mr, Stribllng did writo tho presentment for tho grand jury. Certainly Mr. Niold could have furnished notes, but thou you know Mr. Stribllng could havo gol ton a littlo of himself into tho pieoo, and that is what I objected to and still ob ject to. Now lot Mr. Niold say yes orjno aa to tho statement that Mr. Stribhng "drafted" that presentment. Mr. Niold says that I am rcaponaiblo for tlio condition of county finances. I say not and rofor tho reader to tho ro cords. I may writo in a rambling way, but I alway? do my own writing, and ramble upon things occasionally. Furthormoro, if my pieces do not com pare favorably with Mr. Niold's and thoso who help him do his writing in rhotoiio, grammar, logic and readable ness, then I am as much deceived as ho is when ho thinks tho public boliovca . tiiat Mr. Stribllng did not writo that pro sontmont for tho grand jury. I havo nothing at all against Mr. Nield : indeed I have a high regard for him, and perhaps could say aa much for each mem ber of tho grand jury, if I know who they were; but then you know it is but human to dofond oursolvos when wo aro accused of things of which wo aro by no moans guilty. Sinco writing tho abovo ? havo boon informed that a grand juror said that Mr. .Sf Hiding did writo tho presentment for tho grand jury and that ho charged $25 for that part of it to which ho at tached bia name, and 1 havo boon furthor informed that Mr. Stripling never Baw tho County Supervisor's books at all, but wroto from a knowledgo obtained otherwise Now what do tax-payers think of thisi' $25 for a short pioeo that contains noth ing of real value to the county, and espe cially when the work of writing it must havo bcon a labor of love to tho writer. No wonder tho county ia in dobt and that tliey want moro tax monoy, if that ia a samplo of tho way it ia hoing .spent! Surely tins is enough on this thing. In regard to that spasmodic Jlash qi phosphorescent luminosity that adorned tho editorial pago of tho Ooouoo Nowa last week, I only desire to say, that tho first of it ia directly contradicted by tho last of it; that it contains two falsehoods; that it ?how? an absoluto ignorance of tho subject in hand; that tho fathor of it is such a coward as to be ashamed ?if his own name, and that ho evidently has not brains enough to mako soup for a sick grasshopper. Now let him own his namo, own who struck Billy Patter son, and then I will bo delighted ro at tend to him forthwith. E. K. Vi. KN KU. Three Doctors in Consultation. (From Benjamin Franklin.)
