Editors Courier: In reply to Mr. Muck Perry, i v, .un definite information from ulm in regard to 1 ?fusing a bid some where for eight dollars, and later letting tbs ?ame work for twice tbat amount. Salem belog iu my section I want Mr. Perry to give tbe name of the bidder and tell where the work was. I certainly have not refused a low bid on any con tragt and afterwards accepted a higher bid on the same work and specifications. I think Mr Perry got off tbs traek when he went .to Georgia for evidence concerning tbe condition of Oconee's grades and roads. Oconee surely h?s ss good and reliable evidenoe concerning roads, or other matters, as Georgia has. Now, Mr. Perry, please give us a full statement of tho ease. Put ou your gov ernor belt so your little stem of justice can shut off your big head of nonsonse. (Jive facts just as they are, for I will engineer your part of the county for the groatest public good. Now I oome with you to the Burnt Tanyard. The work let to Mr. Rodgers thoro was duly advertised. I let it to tho lowest bidder. There were a num ber of Oconee's best ol tl zen s at the lot ting for no other purpoB? than to bid for tho work. The bidding started at $360. 1 cried the salo down to $0Q. Moat of the blddiug was 50, 25 and 10 oents off at a bid. It took some time to dose the salo. I gave ovorybody a fair chance to make up their minds and bid. There woro i present two of the bo8t Stone work mon in Oconee oounty for the sole pur 1 msc of blddiug on tho work, and they wore tho first to stop bidding. It was all rock work and In suoh shape that no ono could tell what the cost would be. After the bidding stopped I still tried to got lower bids, and statod to tho crowd that I did not think it would coBt as much as tho lowest bid. Some rook is harder to work than others and it was impossiblo to tell what tho cost would bo. Mr. Rodgers did a first class job and it matters not what he may havo paid for work doue by others besides himself and sons. If Mr. Perry has tho best interest of tho county nt heart. I don't seo why ho docs not come to tue lotting of adver tised work and mako reasonable bids so wo cnn savo tho county's monoy. S. H. Snead, County Commissioner.

Following is ai: extract from a privato lottor recoivod from Mrs. Ludio M. Coleman which will provo interesting to hor largo circle of friends in tho county and particularly to those who aro inter ested in silk culturo: Our next point was Floronoe. This city is quite interesting, in many respects, as Romo. Wo only had three days hero, much to our regret. This is the place whero tho most beautiful mosaics in the world are made. Wo saw thom being made, both tho jowolry ladles and great pictures. The next point was Venico, by far tho lovoliost placo of all. Wo visited all tho groat points of int crest, tho Dogos Palace, now a museum full of picturos by the old masteis. Thou we wont across the bridge of sighs, and saw the oxaot spot whoi'O the condemned were executed (hoads cut off); took in tho National Museum and tho laco manufactures; we also saw thom making Yenotian glass in tho glass factories. I never dreamed t bei e woro so many beautiful things in this lino before. As it was not tho right time of tho moon for riding in gondolas at night, we wore nat ?stied with ono rido on tho Grande Canal, but overy night thoro was music and dancing in tho squares. Evory timo wo wont out we passed Robert Browning's house, as it is on tho Grande Canal, very near our hotel. It is a lovoly palace of white marble (or was). Everything in Vonico looks like tho old houses in Chariest on. Tho next, placo was Milan, tho finest and most progressive city of Italy. It is tho capital of Lombardy, aud tho conter of tho silk-growing industry. TII?B waa my second visit to Milan, as I wout thoro from Gonoa when I came. I am quito satisfied that this work can bo as suc cessful in Ocouoo as it is hero, iu faot, I am moro encouraged about it than ever. The whole of the silk-growing rogiou is a porfeot paradise Vegetation is much later there than with us and thoy never hatch out their worms until the middlo of May. I saw the worms at work and also saw the silk mills. Tho silk farms look just like orange groves, except that in many inst anees grapo vinos are draped from ono treo to another, and grain is planted in tho same field. The trees are not allowed to grow large, but made to hunch. Thoy aro planted about twenty feet apart En routo from Milan to Vionnaour way lay between tho nallian and Austrian Alps, and words cannot describe tho views. Tho highest peaks woro perfectly white with snow. The great Summering Pass is the grandest sight I've over seen. Vienna is a beautiful city and contains moro handsome blocks of buildings than any other city in Europe except Paris. Mrs. Ida M. Board spent two days in our town last week solong hor book ou t it led, "The Story of my Lifo, or a De scrted Wife." Tho novelty of tho situa tion attracted many to buy the book, and after roading it your correspondent is of the opinion that modern authors, Ellen ( d.c.eon, Mary Johnston, and others, had best "go way back and sit down." While we doubt tho assertion that "timidity in woman is an obsolete term," wo do not doubt, but deplore, thc fact that tho gontleman of yo olde school is becoming a stranger to those parts. Ob I for just a glimpse into tho past, when man was not too absorbed with the affairs of this lifo to recognize the presence ut ladies by a tip of the hat and at least, a "good morning," to say nothing of his obligations to society. What a pity that tho man who accepts hospitalities doesn't realize that tho duties from host are no lei.s obligatory than those of guest. Peaco to Du- ashes of Chesterfield I What a reliof to know that at last there's a copyright on suoh murderous attacks upon tho King's English as "He cailod for you and I," "Please exouse he and 1 a moment." Seo "A Deserted Wife." It is an error heard frequently, but a gi ie vous and simple one. Wo aro glad to noto that in mnny of our public schools corporal punishment is growing into disuse. This is a good sign, anet tho day is coming whon tho {n act iee will be looked upon an a relic of ?arbnriam. Mrs. T. E. Stribling and Miss FrancoB Whitmiro leave on Tuesday for Anderson for n visit of Bovornl days.

Columbia, Juno 22.-The first week of the State campaign is over and no ono is tho wiser as to tho prospect of olectiou of any oandidato any more than when the canvass bogan. Candidates who havo beer hero aro loud in thoir com plaints of the vory sparse attondanoe at tho meetings and thoy fool very much discouraged over tho feet that they have met so few people. They think that since they havo boon put to so groat oxpense thoy should have some pay for thoir money, but tho largo majority of vot?i s are unmindful of this condition and aro stioking striotly to thoir own business, and aro making tho best of tho fine woathor for keeping their orops in good condition, with tho hope of gather ing abundantly later on. The fact is that it is becoming gonerally accoptod that tho primary, as now conducted, has lost all the interest formerly taken in it and that it has practically lost its useful ness in several respects, and there is con siderable quiet discussion concerning some substitute plan of nominating offi cers. No plan has as y ot assumed any definite shapo, but it is freely suggested 'hat a compulsory canvass of the State bo abolished, for as conditions now are the canvass is necessary on tho part of any candidate who hopos to win. In plnoo of this it is suggested that candi dates ranko thoir own appointments or accept any invitations that may bo given thom to add ress tho people of any county or section of tho State. As long as thoro are no issues, or if thoy aro and tho can didates aro unanimously agreed as to thom, which is tho present condition, tho people will not attend and liston to long, dry speeches on a summer day when thoy can stay at homo, attend to thoir duties and mako a norse nal choice of candidates just as well as if thoy had attonded tho mootings. It ii agreed that I it is not right to compel candidates to go to tho groat oxpense of traveling, through out the Stato and dolivor address 's to a handful of tho votoiB of oaoh county, v.-idle tho thousands romain at homo. 'Those, who advocate this idoa say by this niau a candidate could spend as little as no pleased or as much as ho could afford, ana that by going it alone ho could bo come acquainted with at least as many |<it" tho people as ho can uudor present con ditions and likely at a less cost, but that depends upon tho candidato himself. It is undoubtedly truo that campaigning costs a good doal more now than ovor before, but why it should no reason is known. Keports aro current that some candidates havo already suent what is a year's salary of tho offico to which they aspiro, and several of thom havo publicly and privately made complaints about the expenso, without suggesting any remedy. Tho crowds attending tho mcotings hoing so small in comparison with tho number of voters, thoir expressions for or against, a man cannot, bo taken as a ] criterion as to how tho counties will go. Everybody romombors the enthusiasm with which John Gary EvauB was re ceived in his csnvas with Judge Karlo for tho United States Sonatorship and tho frosty greeting given to his opponent. Tho rosult was confidently predicted on tho strongth of tho prodictions of tho ] crowds, and the whole St atc was docoived as to what would be tho outcome. Tho candidates aro remomboring this, and that is one reason that a change, is de manded, in tho hopo that by some means I this overwhelming silent vote may bo reached before an election takes place.
