WALHALLA, S. C. r
WKDIVKNUAV, JIINE ?5, I1IOJ.
A COMPLETE ROAD-WORKING OUTFIT.
Last wook a coutract wa? dosed by the
County Commissioners with tho Amori
can Hoad Machino Company through Mr,
W. A. Neal, agont, for ono rock crusher,
two wator tanks, two dump carts, two
wheel scrapes and two mule scrapes
This machinery, togothor with tho two
ougincs, two road machines, and two
plows bought th no wooka ago, gives
Ocouoo county a -loupiote and up-to-dato
rond-makiug outfU. Mr. S. H. Snoad will
probably tako chargo of tho ontiro equip
mont and work tho chain gang with it
Thoro is now no reason why Ocouoo
should not havo llrst-class road-bods
along all tho main highways in tho
courso of timo, as work of a pormanont
charactor can ho dono. Whon onco built
tho oxponso of repair will bo roducod to
a minimum. With tho right man in
ohargo of tho machines it is bound to ho
a success, and tho wisdom of tho pur
d?as o demonstrated. lu tho old stylo of
road-working thousands upon thousands
of dollars havo boen oxpondod ovory
year working over road-beds inado years
ago, and still wo havo bad roads. It is
i m possible to keep thom in fair condition
more than six mouths. Tho necessity of
inaugurating a ditTorcnt Bystom has long
boon felt, hut still our County Commis
sioners havo hesitated for years to mako
tho venturo and purchaso an entiro road
working outfit. It is well tho prosont
board has had tho norvo to tako tho stop,
and every citizen who fool'i an interest
in public improvement and good roads
should lend them moral support iu this
important venturo.
Orphans in Neod of Assistance.
Superintendent Wharton, of tho Ep
worth Orphanage, Columbia, has sent
out tho following urgent appeal, which
will surely not bo unanswered:
"Our treasury at tho Epworth Orphan
age is absolutely onipty; wo have nota
dollar to our credit. Provision for our
large orphan family has to bo mado each
day and our bills must bo paid. Tho
current expenses have not appreciably
decreased in any department, yet our
contributions have fallen far below our
urgent necessities. (Sinco our cornice
tl OU with tho orphanage thoro has no ff
been a timo when tho need of immediate
help was moro urgent than now. We
have no source to which wo may look for
support, savo tho benovolonco of tho
ohUrob, whoso wards wc have undor our
caro. Let every one who may read tbeso
lines, or whose attention may bc called
to them, remember in a helpful way the
claims of our homeless and helpless
children."

Mr. 8. H. Snead Want? Information.
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.

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.

Whitmiro leave on Tuesday for Anderson

The Slate Campaign.
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.
