As Boon as the editor of tho Ooonee j Nows is driven from ono false position be flees to another. It is amusing to traco his sinuous windings for tho past two mouths. Ile begins and endB with dogmatic assertion, and in order to shut off tho light, so far as in him lies, ho studiously suppresses the appearance in bis columns of anything touohing upon tho other view. In his last issue ho makes tho burden of his song a difforonco of flvo cents in tho prico of 1,000 noto herds sold the oounty on two difToront dates by The Courior, and ten cents in tho prico of 500 envelopos on two soparato dates. Every intolligeut persou (ho is oxousablo) knows that thoro aro difforout grades of mato rial, aud the naroo grado varies in mar kot prico at difToront datos. Again, why does ho not toll tho public that tho Oco noo Nows had suspouded publication on May 1st and May ?th, 1001, and boneo on thoso dates tho contract botweon the two papers and tho county did not obtain? But since ho protends to think so, wo horohy ofter to refund and pay into tho Treasury of Oconoo couuty tho $2.25 excess over half vate on said adver tisements, and lot him also 1 < fuud ami pay into tho County Treasury the (11.991 which ho eon t esses ho rccoivod iu oxcess of tho contract prico.
