Editors Courier : On the morning of April 22, in company with our "better half" ar ? two little girls, Odessa and Annarcssa, and Misses Freddie Hoggs and Cora Trotter, wo left Newry, destined for the old and historic city of Charlostou. After boardiug the train at Seneca, via Anderson, we arrived in Belton about 10 a. m., where we changed cars for Charleston, nt which place we arrived about 10.510 that evening without accident ur mishap. This being our first trip to Charles ton, we found everyone a stranger except the Hon. Archelaus Lay, of our county. Ho and his son wont down on the samo train, so he ren dered us assistance in securing a stopping place, which was at tho home of Mr. Henry Ostendorff, where we had tho pleasure of meeting tho Hon. M. P. Ansel and wife. After a good night's rest and par taking of a good breakfast at Mr. Ostendorff's we boarded a street car for tho Battery, arriving there in n few minutes, where we beheld one of the grandest views it has ever been our pleasure to behold. Tho grand old ocean, with its shipping going to and fro, and ils tides ebbing and flowing, formed a grand scenery be fore us; and as wo looked far ont into the distance wo could seo his toric old Fort Sumter and Morris Island, both of which carried our minds and thoughts back to other days when it was not so pleasant to be in Charleston as now ; but, thank God ! all those days of strife are past, and wo could seo men from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illi nois, Ohio and Missouri sitting here and there and going to and fro with men from all over the South, chat ting like brothers about the exposi tion and the great progress our com mon country has made and thc great possibilities that it still possesses. This manifestation of brotherly love and friendship, the universality of the floating of the glorious old Stars and Stripes over the principal build ings and along the streets of Charles ton, and tho splendid exhibits at the exposition by the several States and the United States Government would very naturally make every thinking man and patriot feel proud of his common country and not regret hav ing paid old Charleston and the ex position a visit. After having spent two days on the exposition grounds and through the city and taking in the harbor, the time arrived for us to begin pre parations for our return home. So early on the morning of April 25 we boarded a train on tho Southern Railway and arrived in Columbia about noon and changed cars for Helton, at which place we arrived about '1 ]>. m. and again changed cars for Seneca, the end of our journey by rail, where Mr. I). 1). Crenshaw, Of Newry, met us with a nice team and carriage to carry us to our home at Newry. Now, Messrs. Editors, in conclu sion I would 1 i ko to say to your readers and tho people of Oconee that those of you who have not gone to the exposition, if you can possibly do so, go by all means; you will never regret it. What you will see and learn will pay you four fold the expense and cost for tho trip. To those of us who have never seen the ocoan, the city of Charleston and the magnificent and splendid exhibits of everything that we could think of (and more, too,) all combined will make us broader men and women and give us that education and con ception of tho greatness and resources of our country which the reading of books can never give.

Her did not answer his calls or hear his weeping, but remained quito still, with her head resting upon his lap as he was stationed upon the ground, beneath thc shade of a wide-spread ing oak. None could bo more de voted than Her and Arnold were ; but this was the innocent love of childhood, that affection which one would expect to observe between brother and sister, for they seemed as such. Arnold attempted to restore her to consciousness, but, alas ! in vain. His warm breath fell upon her checks as ho bent above her. Ile finally became frightened at her long stillness and thought of screaming for assistance, but upon further medi tation decided it wiser to remain silent for awhile and do all in his power to relieve hor, for ho realized that she was bis charge; and then what would his mother say to him for climbing the ladder ? She would scold and perhaps chastise him. "Her, Her," ho again moaned, "do wake up." His tears fell thick and fast upon her brow. At length a deep sigh was audible to him and he was relieved to observe that she was yet alive. Suddenly a new thought sprang into his mind. Ho would carry her to Aunt Fanny, who, in his opinion, was an excellent nurse ; but tho next question appearing for solution was, how ho would manage to get her to the kitchen without assistance, for, though quite small, she was a little too heavy for him to carry. "Oh, I know," ho finally thought ; "PH hitch Fido and Rover to my express wagon and they can pull with my assistance. They will make an ex cellent team." Apparently the idea pleased him, for he immediately tied his faithful pets to the small vehicle and placed Her in it. Ile pushed while tho dogs served as horses, and they roached the kitchen safoly. At tho sound of his voice old Aunt Fanny appeared in tho door way, but stood still in astonishment at tho sight she bohold. "La! Mas ter Arnold, what's tho matter? Is little mistress dead?" "No, only fainted ; don't tell mama. I oamo for your assistance in restoring her to consciousness,' replied Arnold, as a sad expression settled upon his countenance. He poured forth tho entire story into the ears of the negress. "I must go and tell mistress, or she'll never forgive Old Fanny, for that child sure is hurt." And she ran in search of tho lady ns rapidly as possible. When she returned, accompanied by Mrs. Edrones, Arnold was on his knees beside tho form of Her, endeavoring to rostoro her to consciousness. Unshed tears wore in his oyes. s Mrs. Edrones had heard the story from Aunt Fanny and would have scolded tho boy had she not observed his grief. "Mama," he said, his voico tremb ling with fear, "do you think sister will soon be well ? I regret climb ing tho ladder, but did not think of it terminating timi." "Hnah, darling 1 I hope Her will soon he all right ; but you must not talk, for she is quito ill. Tell Jim to go for Dr. Elkins at once," she con tinned, turning to a young negress o? about ten years. iany people suffer through Urn or >y don't know that for all Inflam* Mexican Mustang Liniment. y way ^ reat a case of Sore kill disease germs throat action is to 1 of water put into tx Mustang aiment rout at frequent intervals, throat thoroughly with the lint- I orno on a soft cloth and wrap/ IVE CURE.

Her was soon placed comfortably upon a lounge and old Aunt Fanny and Mrs. Edrones wore doctoring her as best they could. Ere long Dr. Elkins arrived and pronounced Her | very ill, and said all of this would have boen avoided had he been sum moned immediately aftor the accident occurred, but as the case had been neglected so long, he feared it would bo difficult to give relief, though ho would try his medical skill and do all in his power to restore her to hoalth. After several hours of difficult labor on the part of the physician, Mrs. Edrones and Aunt Fanny, lier | slowly opened her eyes and gazed about her, until they rested upon Arnold, who stood 'n the doorway ; then whispered softly : "Arnold, tell mo how I jame to be hero ? I thought we woro OD the tower." "Hush, darling, you aro ill and it is necessary for you to remain quiet until yon becomo stronger. Go to aloep, and, when you are well, you shall hear all about it," replied Mrs. Edrones, as she placed a motherly kiss upon the child's forehead. Her obediently closed her eyes and was soon lost in peaceful repose. She was quito ill for some time aftor this day's adventure, but boro hor suffering patiently. Every day she inquired of Dr. Elkins when ho thought she would be nblo to resume her school duties. Her was fond of I her books, theroforc became a studi ous girl. Sho was missed greatly while sick. It seemed as though al most every ray of sunshino had de parted from "Sunny Side," and a sadness reigned in the hearts of the ontire household. She won tho love of all around her and filled that place which had remained vaoant since the death of Alice. Mrs. Edrones desired Arnold to attend school during lier's illness, but as neither of the ohildron would consent to this they were allowed to have their own way. When lier began to improve she wished Arnold to sit by her bed constantly and read to her. She was also delighted to have him bring hor her meals, for | they seemed better when taken from the hands of Arnold. After a long illness Her at length began to improve gradually, until she became strong enough to enjoy walking or riding, and finally was able to resumo her studies. Soon after her recovery a sadness filled her youthful heart. It was tho death of her faithful pot, Fido. Ho was sick for several days, and she oared for him as well as any littlo nurse could, but with all hor efforts to restore him to health, she failed. Sho and Arnold buried him, in a wooden box, beneath tho apple troe in tho garden. Thoy covered his grave with flowers, and dampened it with tears. They had a neat little Costs Oily 25 cen?

To be continued. ANDERSON BOY FROM PHILIPPINES. I He Tells of the Cruelties Practiced oa the Natives by American Troops. Mr. Adam Loskoskie, an Ander son boy who has been serving in Unole Sam's army, in the Philip pines, has beent spending a week or so with relatives in or near the oity. Ile left yesterday for South Dakota, where he will locate. Mr. Loskoskie is a son of Mr. Frank Loskoskie, a thrifty German who lives Beveral miles below the city. He enlisted in Company C, First South Carolina Regiment, in the Spanish war, and after the vol unteers wero mustered out he en listed in the regular army. He was assigned to the 19th Infantry and went with that regiment to the Phil ippines. Ile remained in tho archi pelago for three years and saw active service on several different islands. Mr. Loskoskie fully corroborates tho stories that have been printed in the newspapers about tho cruelties practiced upon tho native's by the Ainerioan troops. Some of the atrocities tho soldiers have been guilty of are, he says, almost beyond behoving. Ho saw the noted "water cure" administered numborsof times, and on ono occasion ho saw a batch of fifteen natives taken out and hanged because they would not give certain information regarding the insurgents which they were supposed to possess. "Why did the soldiers do these things?" ho was asked. "It wasn't our wish to do so," was the quick reply, "but we had to obey the orders given us by our officers." Mr. Loskoskie said that the orders given by the officers woro often very distasteful to the enlisted men in carrying out these cruelties, and that there was much dissatisfaction. As to the natives themselves, ho said, they are an inferior race of people, but he does not think they are so treacherous and cruel as they have been represented. The warfare in the Philippines has degenerated into the guerilla, bushwhacking kind on both sides. Tho different islands are populatod by different tribes, having customs and languages differ ent from the others. In Mr. Loskoskie's company were several young mon from South Dakota. Mr. Loskoskie formed quite a friendship for them, and as their terms of enlistment expired about tho same time they persuaded bim to go to their home nud locate. Mr. Loskoskie is known to Ander son people as a truthful and upright young man, and his corroboration of the newspaper reports of the cruel ties in the Philippines will be accepted. His friends hero will re gret that he has decided not to stay in Anderson, but they will wish for him every good fortune in his new home.-Anderson Mail, May 7th.

Tho Southern Railway", tho Atlantic Coast Lino and the Plant System havo arranged to continuo tho salo of tho cheap tickots to tho exposition, as sold during tho month of April, on ovory 'Tuesday and Thursday during tho month of May. This will onablo all who havo not yet visited tho exposition to do so during its closing month, and those who havu visiteo it to again t?ko? ndvantngo of tho low rate ofTorod, as many will undoubtedly do. Thoro has boen a great deal said in tho columns of tho papers in regard to tho exposition and its many attractive fea tures. Thoro is ono, howevor, that has boon almost entirely ignored or over looked by all correspondents, and prob ably from tho fact that its location is such as not to attraot gonoral attention. Reference is made to tho grass gardon of the United States Agricultural D?part mont, which consists of four acres of ground and ?3 located just oast of tho oncampmont of tho marino corps. Every farmer who visits the exposition should visit this garden. lloro are to bo found growing ovor fifty different specimens of forage crops suitable for our Southern suns, as woll as wheat, rye and barloy of many kinds. Tho seeds of tho different forage crops referred to havo boen gath ered from Africa, Egypt, China, Iroland, Scotland, Knglnnd, Australia and many other countries. Tho representativo of tho Agricultural Department in chargo of tho ga rd <-.n is it practical farmor and oan give tho visitor full information re garding oach and ovory species of the crop, and it can be said to evory farmer, if he can spare tho timo to go down, oven if he spends only one day at tho oxpoai J tion, let him carefully study thoso forage i orops, get a list of BUCII as ho wants to j use, and he will bo ton times repaid for ; the expenso of tho trip and for tho timo ho may think ho is losing from Iiis farm.

SLL, WALHALLA, S. 0, UNCLE SAM TO BE KINO OF COMMERCE. Morgamsm and Americanism Have Taken Commerce from England's Control. Henry Labourohere, in a recent issue of the London Truth, under the heading of "Morganeering and the Moral/' tells the British nation that its Bupretnaoy in trade and com merce is not only threatened, but doomed, and that it will take all the best efforts of whioh the empire is oapable to prevent a retrograde movement wbioh, if it begins, will increase year by year. Mr. Labouchere says : "To the impartial observer it is a trifle amusing to watch the pertur bation of John Ball at the march of Amerioan capitalists. For<a genera tion or two past the gospel of salva tion of mankind by the agenoy of British capital has been preached with sincere oonviotion. Whether it was a dying nation in Europe or Asia, a rackety republic in South Amerioa, an unreclaimed region of Afrioa, peopled by idolaters and can nibals, or even a poverty-stricken British colony, the means of regene ration were always the same-let British capital and British enter prise exploit the patient thoroughly and there will be an end to all his diseases, political, economic and so cial. "For 6fty years we preached this gospel and acted up to it religiously. Now comes a little turning of tables. "With a muoh larger population and immeasurably greater natural resources, the United States offers a field for tho accumulation of greater wealth than we oan ever aspire to. "Amerioans, in their turn, now aspire to regenerate the world by American capital and Amerioan en terprise. They practice upon the doctrine which we PO long applied to the rest of mankind. Lastly-for the present-they lay sacriligious hands on the shipping by means of which 'Britannia rules tho waves.' '.'.No wouder Johu Bull is in a comic state of consternation. Instead of the exploiter he is becoming the exploited. "For about twenty years we have been beset with a craze of acquiring in the most out-of-the-way parts of the world new openings for British capital and new markets for British goods. The craze has colored all our national thoughts and policy. "While we have been pursuing thin phantom what has the foreigner been doing? He, too, seeks an open ing abroad for his surplus capital and a foreign market for his surplus goods. And where does he first find them? In England. "While we seek to extend the area of our commerce and our invest ments by acquiring control of coun tries which have no population, or of people who have no wants, the manu facturers and investors of Germany and America find in this country the finest opening in the world. While we sink millions on tho construction of railways through thc Africa! in tincut, which cannot yield a i?"urn within the life of the present gene ration, or perhaps the next, tho American capitalist discovers a re munerative investment for his mil lions in improving tho means of locomotion in London. "While we spend countless mil lions in annexing vast tracts in Asia and Africa and maintaining armies to defend them, with the view of sup plying a penniless population with goods from Manchester and Birm ingham, our German and American competitors supplant us in our own country. "Individual fools have, often enough, dropped the substance to grasp its shadow, but never before has a whole .nation deliberately com mitted itself to this folly. "Our supremacy in trade and com merce is not only threatened, but doomed. "Yet, by utilizing to the best ad vantage our resources in raw mate rial, capital and labor, we can hold our own, even if we are forced to seo Germany and America inorease their output faster than we can. It is only by the stupidity of squander ing our capital in foroign countries, overlooking the opportunity of em ployment at home, that foreign oapi tal can supplant British in any home industry. "But at tho presont crisis of our economio history, what aro tho ob jects which chiefly occupy our minds ? The regeneration of South Africa by the introduction into that accursed land of British capital and labot, the expansion of our army at the ex pense of tho labor market, squander ing time, money and energy on tho empty ostentation of the coronation ceremony, which will suspend indus try, dislocate trade and divert publio thought from matters of pressing and vital importance "At the momont while we aro thus engaged Mr. Morgan and bis col leagues desoend upon us, seeking what they may dovour. "Almost within an hour of tho king's feast come forth the fingers of a man's hand and wiite upon the wall. It needs no prophet in this case to intepret the writing. It is easy to roan the warning, and not difficult to accept and act upon it. "Shall we attend to it at once, or shall we finish our wine nnd think about the Modes and Persians after ihe dinner ?"

Oconee and Anderson Roads. Supervisor Vandiver some weeks ago roceived a letter written by two Citizens of Fair Play, Oconeo oounty, stating that tho publio road (?ona Fair Play to Pul ton's Ferry in Anderson county bsd boon put in good condition by tho Oconee commissioners as far as tho Anderson lino, that tho road in Anderson county was in bad condition, and asking that it bo looked after at onco. Now Supervisor Vandivor is jealous of the roads in Andorson oounty. Ho talks about roads in tho daytime and dreams about roads at night. That is why Anderson county has such good roads. He is determined that no other county shall have bettor roads than Andorson. Ho was worried when he got tho letter from the Oconeo people and tl:? very first chanco bo got bo wont up lo see about it. He went through Fork town ship and got Mr. W. W. Cole to go with him in his buggy. They drove ovor to Fair Play ana started down the road to the ferry. Tho road was rough wheu they left Fair Play and the further thoy went the rougher it got. Beforo they reaohed the Anderson lino Mr. Cole said ho would got out and walk, that it would bo wrong to make a horse pull two men over such a road. A little further on Major Vandivor had to get out also, as tue horso simply could not pull the loaded vehicle ovor tho ravines and gul leys and rocks that made up tho road. Ono of tho gontlemen led the horse and I tho other got behind the buggy and shoved, and Anally after a slow and tor turous journey they reaohed the Andor son lino. There the road got bettor right imme diately and tho two gentlemen got back into tho buggy and drovo in a trot on to tho ferry. Supervisor Vandivor ls not ashamed of tho Pullen's Ferry road now. He says ho will koop it in good condi tion, but tho next time ho inspects it he will start in on tho Anderson side and go to the Oconeo lino and stop. Ho wouldn't tako that drive-or walk, rather-from tho lino to Fair Play for a good big con sideration.-Anderson Mail, May 3d. -T. E. Stribling, Esq., is our regular soliciting agent at Seneca.
