. 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

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

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. Northon, Atlanta, Ga.:

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

Tho Michigan Stato industrial Behool
for girls ls being investigated by a legis
lativo committee and BOH?O of tho wit
nesses toll harrowing taloh of tho nioBt
dreadful cruelty practicod upon tho Btu
donts by tho toachors. AB roportcd in
tho Chicago Record, ono of tho pupils,
Ar.iiabolla Echtinaw, was given a hot
bath,, tho wntor hoing heated from a
Btcol coil in tho bottom of tho tub. 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." Mrs. Babcock
cont in nod :
" 'Why don't you cry?' said Mrs. Sick
los, when she finished. Resido was as
white as a shoot ami trembling. She
said: 'I can't cry, Mrs Sickles.' 'You'll
cry or I'll kill you. Take off your
clothes,' said Mrs. Sicklos. Bessie took
ort her eloUics. Mrs. Sickles went Into
Another room and got. a trunk strap au
inch and a quarter wddo. She made Bes
sie Ho aoroaa a sofa thoro in tho ofilco
and gavo her, vory deliberately, about
ton blows on tho naked limbs. I could
not bear thc spectacle, so I stood at n
window and looked out. Bessio WSB
screaming: 'Oh, Mrs. Sickles, don't kill
mel don't kill nie?' "
All'of this occurred in a Stato collcgo
for girls in Michigan. 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.
Ono of their own sox is accused of scald
ing a tender young girl to death, which,
to say tho least, is as barbarous as burn
ing a negro man". Neither is to bo oxcuscd
nr condonod, but. wo should all bo care

tho other hand, it would appear that
some were selected booatiBO no ono else
would take tho place. Some of tho ro
ports aro absolutely unintelligible, and
aro gotten up in "Euglish OB sho is
wrote." At oil oveutfl, Mr. Dorhain will
hnvo to summarize the reports, sou what
thei o is in thom, nud whoro tho counties
report, that they have Hot got $7fi por
Bohool, nor i un for th roo months, ho will
make inquiry as to how much money
went to the school district? for all pur
poses, and how much money was used.
It is evident that nome of tho' counties
aro "fudging" on other oouutlos. Somo
of tho county oflloors aro reporting oil
money received, whilo others aro report
ing only tho money Bpont for tho teach
ers, and uot money expended fer sohool
buildings, charts, improvements and tho
Uko. It will bo soon that under BUOII a
plan a school might spend all its money
Oil school improvements and leave tho
Stato to poy tho teachers' salarios. Tho
not did not contemplate suoli o dis
tribution of tho fund from the dispensa
ry, and Mr. Dorhom will immediately
nsk for a revision of tho statements,
where it is manifest that only teachers9
salaries aro included, oud ho might hnvo
all school expenses included, and whoro
tho payments on behalf of a school aro
$75 or more, thou thoro IB no deficiency
in that district under tho terms of tho
law as construed. Mr. Dorbam hopes to
got tho data in shape in tho noxt few
wcoks, and just ns soon ns it is dono tho
first distribution will bo made. Barn
woll c>u>ity reports o vory considerable
deficiency, and it may bo noted that a
