TONICS AND SE0ATIVE8. _ THE KKOWKB COURIER wai brimful of now? last wook. Wo havo hoard it hinted that tho chango in tho mauago lnont of this papor baa boon a kind of tonio to TUK COURIER* WO hopo so at loast. This makes us think of what Lord Byron onco Baid : "That ho wroto not that ho thought ho could writo well, but that ho might moko ot hern write bettor." Wo writo becauso wo cannot got others to say what wo wish said. Oconoo Nows, May 18th. Webster defines a tonic as "a medi cino that increases tho strongth and givos vigor of action to tho system." It is always In order to tako a tonio, ospooially whon tho flavor is pleasant to tho tasto, j Such is tho tonic furnished TUK COU-| niBii by tho Oconco Nows in its prcsont mauagetnont. But doctors somotimoB havo to tako their own medicine, and wore wo to proscribo for tho voiBatllo editor of tho Nows at tho prcsont timo, wo might lind a Bcdativo moro needful than a tonio. Ho is brimful of energy, pluok and perseverance, but thou ho has entered upon a now and untried field, and ho may find tho way both rooty and stumpy. At this juncture it might bo well to heed the advice once adminis tered by ono of his admirers to an ablo lawyor who had lately been olectod judgo : "Don't set your coulter too deop for now ground." Our brother writes woll and makes a good paper. Wo hopo it may bo a long timo boforo ho needs a tonic, an occasional sedativo or laxativo hoing taken as tho journalistic machinery may need a regulator. IN OUR NEW HOME. With this issue tho COURIKR finds itsolf in a now homo. Tho two-story brick building, put up by Jayncs A Shclor for law and printing oflices, has boon oom pie tod. Tho first story is occu pied as tho composing and press room of tho CouiUKlt; tho second story by tho law offices of Jayncs & Sholor. All tho rooms aro spacious and attractive. Tho COURIER* office is 30x60 feet with ade quate light and ventilation. Tho law offices of .1 ny uer, & Shclor consist of tinco Inigo ami commodious rooms and a hall. Tho building was designed for a combination of law and printing oflices, and right well docs ir answer tho design. Tho Co UMBU is now ust mundill" up its fiftieth year, and at* ern full half cen tury of growth and dovolopmont finds itself in a substantial and comfortable homo. Wo feel better prepared than over for tho publication of a first-class newspaper. Wo intend to koop abreast of tho times in providing all tho appli ances found in tho equipmontof an up to-date printing office. We extend a cordial invitation to our friends and pa trons to call and seo us as opportunity may afford, lt is our purpose to make our increased facilities for work contrib ute to tho good of our patrons and friends as well as our our own. Wo aro sorvantB nftor all, servants of tho pub lie, and the most that wo can do ?B for tho public good. Wo desire no higher privilege than that of serving an appr? ciative public, and shall endeavor to merit a continuation of its approval. NORTH AND SOUTH. On tho 80th of May, 1800, at. tho city of Columbus, Ohio, to a connnittco of tho (?. A. lt., a magnificent floral tributo was tendered by tho Southerners to bo placed on tho graves of tho Union dead in (ricen Lawn comotery. This tributo, in viow of tho declarations of tho President in Atlanta and othor Sou thern cities, v,as peculiarly appropriate. The tender was made by OX-Confcdorato soldiors who appreciated tho efforts made to let tho dead past bury its dead and to cement North and South again as one united nation, lint the committee of tho O. A. lt. declined tho tribute. Thoro is said to bo great indignation among the members of tho G. A. lt. over this action of tho committee, but that timo nor occasion has not been afforded for tho momborahip to make their disap proval felt. Wo have felt that all the bit terness of tho past, incident to tho last, war, had been buried. Ho wovor, if wo must still romain apart, in feelings, so may it bo. Tho South is ready to maintain her dignity._ MILES LEFT WITHOUT AUTHORITY. (ion. Miles, in the name of tho Com manding General of tho Army of ti.o United States, has been forbiddon to is Hiio any order directing tho movement of a staff officer unless personally oignod by Alger. Staff ofllcors have been told to report directly to Alger and not to Miles. Now tho Secretary is dissipating tho General's personal staff to tho four quarters of the continent, and the satire of it all lies in tho fact that every order is signed with MUo*' name.-Cleveland Plain Doalor. Criticism of those in power has be come of lato a dangerous proeoodtiro, and especially to those holding positions in tho United States. Con. Miks con ceived it his duty to criticise tho Secre tary of War for tho bad beef furnished to tho soldiers in tho war with Spain. Although much testimony was taken in substantiation of tho fact that tho beef was anything but what tho United Slates ought to furnish her patriots who did tho fighting, still Miles is condemned and Alger is on top in tho controversy. Tho whitewash brush will do much for I hose, in authority, especially for those under tho administiation. Verily, what politics will do I I was seriously nflliotcd with a cough for sovornl years, and last fall had amore severo cough than over boforo. 1 havo tried many remedies without receiving much relief, and being recommended to try a bottlo of Chamberlain's Cough Bomody, by a friend, who, knowing mo to bo a poor widow, gavo it to me, I tried lt, and with tho most, gratifying results. Tho first bottlo relieved mo very much ami tho second bottlo has absolutely cured mo. I have not had ns good health for twenty years. Respectfully, Mrs. Mary A. Board,Olaromoro. Ark. Sold by j, W. Hell,(Walhalla; W. J. Lummy, Moneen; ll. B. Zimmerman, Westminster. . South ?avoHua is fast forging hor way to tho front in tho cotton manufacturing industry. It is ssid that Col. James L. Orr will build a uew faotory at Anderson with a capital stock of $400,000, Capt. E. A. om v vho will build ono at Belton with a capital stock of $800,000, and that Ho... NV. B. S. Whaloy will build one In Columbia with moro than $1,000,000 oapital ?tock. Thcso are but a few of tho industries now projeoted in thin statu. Suoh ontorpriRO wo rojoioo at, as it is dostinod to make thia a great State. What wo wish to ?all attention to is tho fact that it is not the mammoth in dustrie alono that contribute to tho in dustrial progress of a peoplo ; tho small and needful industrien in tho smaller towns contribute largoly to tho growth and lifo of a peoplo and pay handsome profite to stockholders. They do not demand such largo amounts of oapital stock to operate thom, and nan bo built by small towns and owned and operated by tho homo pooplo. Walhalla is ono of tho best locations in tho State for tho establishment of a hardwood factory to make spokes, hubs, fellies, handles, plowstocks. Sro., and such a faotory can bo put on foot by our own town pooplo with os little outlay OB any placo wo know of. Wo havo tho greatest quantity of the vovy boat timber right nt our door, with n rural pooplo ready and anxious to furnish it at ex tremely low figures. In tho town Mr. J. D. Voruor has a concroto building most admirably adapt ed for suoh nu enterprise, which no doubt can bo easily had for tho purpose Thus in tho shorten space of timo wo could bo prepared for tho manufacturo of many cf those thingu that to-day wo aro buying from tho Wost. Again, tboro is no town in tho Stato where a knitting factory could bo botter and moro profitably oporatod. For such an enterprise wo are well prepared and liMed. It could be fitted up and started with a reasonably sinai) amount of capi tal, and would well accompany tho cot ton mill hero. Mr. J. W. Hollonian has a commodious two-story brick building, woll located and oxactly suited for tho purposo, which ho would contribute to tho stock of such a company. Mr. C. W. Pitchford would, wo under stand, contributo an engine with which to run tho lnachinory to tho stock of a onmpany. This would bo at least one third of tho amount, necessary for be ginning such an industry. As tho inauguration of such industries would furnish now markots for tho pro duco of tho thrifty farmers of Oconoo county, and especially thoso near by Walhalla, wo fool confident that many of thom would subscribo stock to such en terprises and tho return would amply re pay them, aside from tho dividends nure to como from such Industries in their midst. Again, Walhalla has a nunihorof prac tical business mon who could bo induced to tako hold and manage such entcr torprisos and carry thom on to a success ful termination. Wo would thus furnish to our young mon profitable employment at homo and stop their emigrating to other parts, lt is worth the trial and wo hope to seo it taken hold of. EX-G0V. NORTHEN'S SPEECH. Ex-Governor Northen has received tho following tolograin: "BOSTON, MASS., May 2fl, 1800. "Hon. W. .1.

Please wire answer. "BOSTON POST. "Hy E. A. Grozior, Editor." Much lins beon written in tho South pro and con about Northon's Massachu setts speech. Wo of the South havo ar rived at tho point whon wo proposo to "toat" our own skillet and wo caro vory little, what Northern politicians think of us. Wo propose to do what wo doom best for our own interest, and advance ment and Northorn politicians may draw their own conclusions. AND OHIO, TOO. Wo noto that in tho State of Ohio re cently a burley brute, of Southern negro proclivities, mado an assault upon a res pectable white woman, and that somo livo hundred enraged white mon woro hot after his blood, and that it took a strong guard to protect tho negro from tho court of Judgo Lynch. Vorily, tho determination to protect tho virtuo of our decent womon is not conflnod to tho South. Tho editors of tho South havo recently been preaching that lynch law had not proved successful iii chocking thc committal of tho brutal, unuamable crime. It scorns, also, that all tho cen sure visited by tho press on tho hoads of thoso who wreak swift vongoanco on tho criminal has also failed to confino Judgo Lynch's court to tho Southern pooplo. rho press of tho South as wol) as that of tho North have carried thoir criticisms to ii disgusting extent; so much so, that in thoir severo cousuro of lynchers they have forgotten ti condemn tho orimo which callB for swift punishment. Thoir condemnation baa and will fail to check tho mob, as they denominate it, until there is a means of swift punishment do vlsi to lake tho placo ot lynching, and that, too, without humiliating our ino ilest ladies by an appearance in public to testify on such outrageous chargCH. Thc writers, both South and North, may howl against lynchings, hut they will pro ceed all tho same as long as brutes com mit tho crime calling for lynchings. Wo suggest that tho teachings of editors might be moro elToetivo should their pons ho wielded awhile against that detesta ble crime So little has been written against tho crimo that many have almost overlooked tho fact that a most hoinous ono had boon committed boforo thoro was any lynching. Lotus turn looso tho invective against tho causo for lynching for a timo and seo if that will not bo more effective Mr. P. Koteham of Piko City, Cal., says: "During my hrothor's lato sick ness from sciatic rheumatism, Cham berlain's Pain Balm was tho only romcdy that gavo him any roliof." Many others have testified to tho prompt roliof from pain which this linimont affords. For salo by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lun ney, Sopcca; H. B.

Ono of tho toachors, M?SB Oaks, who was present, described it as follows: Tho girl cried out: "Aro you going to scald mo?" Sho was hold th twenty minutes and on coming out becamo un conscious and died in twonty minutes. Miss Oaks said hot baths wore a method of punishment. Sho also testified to holding a girl's hands while Mrs. SicklcB gave bor twenty-fivo or thirty blows with rubber tubing split into piocos. Sho had alBo scon girls' mouths covered with courtplnstor for answering back. Ono of tho pupils testified that she had boon strippod and given thirty-six lashes with a rubber hose as a punishment for a remark about ono of tho toachors. Sho was black and blue for a month. Tho roport continues: "Mrs. Helen M. Babcock, a former housekeeper nt tho school, testified that tho boatings tho girls got woro sicken ing. Ono instance sho spoko of was that of Rcssio Force, who had boon imperti nent, Mrs. Sickles toro off hor clothos and gave her thirty blows af tor sho had boon in a solitary cell."

As an evidencoof barbarity it is pretty conclusivo, but no ono will bo BO foolish as to bcliovo on that account that Michigan is not civil ized, although tho occurrences certainly clo not speak well for that State. It would seem that thoro is a lino fiold for Mrs. Homo and hor Boston co-labor ers who havo worked themselves up to such a pi tell over Southern barbarism.
