When any thing said here, which may sound so, it ls dono merely to Impress a truth. lt is this correspondent's opinion that a newspaper controversy rarely, if ever, does any good, so, as we have said before, "you cannot (each an old dog new tricks," and we decline to say anything further upon the news paper attacks made upon tho Soneca school and track team by tho young correspondent from Richland. He writes beautifully, and we hope he will always have the "backing" of the good people of Richland In every thing he says, in reading his last we thought it savored somewhat of "the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob" llavor, but that fact only added to its interest to the "staid" correspondent from Seneca. We guess Seneca and her affairs will manage to rock along somehow. Mrs, A. R. N. Folger continuos 111 at hor home here. Her daughters, Mrs. Higgins, of Easley, and Mrs. Leavelle, of Newberry, are at her bed side. Mrs. G. W. Ballenger was hostess to tho Gossipers last Wednesday af ternoon. On account of the Inclem ent weather, only a few were able to attend, but those few were richly re warded for having braved the wea ther. Mrs. J. J. Daniel who lias been visiting her father, O. F. Bacon, re turned to her home at Marietta, Ga., on Tuesday. Mrs. H. F. Alexander has been confined to her home with rheuma tism for several weeks. Mr, and Mrs. W. P. Nimmons served an elegant course dinner to the teachers of tho school and the ,trustees and their wives last Wednes day evening. Tho occasion was a beautiful compliment to the school, and tho appointments expressed this fact, in every detail of arrangement. The school colors, purple and gold, were seen Jn the decorations. The place cards partook of the spirit of tho date (Valentino's) and were dainty heart-shaped affairs, done in gilt with a clustor of violets. The elegant menu was served faultlessly, and tho breath of spring found in tho bowls of gorgeous jonquil.* which adorned tho tables, was a delightful and pleasing contrast to tho stormy weather without. The occasion was one of great pleasure to the number of friends included in the generous invitation._ Charges Misuse of Mails.

No Need for Bural Police. Editor Koo wee Courier: l noticed in your last paper ono farmer friend writing In regard to tho rural police for Oconee. I cannot agree with him', nor with Mr. Harris, notwith standing the fact that thee ls but lit tle difference In the expense of the proposed system as compared with present conditions. But 1 must say that tho new police, if appointed, could not do more than put the time in. and our sheriff and bia deputies are busy very near all the time, and yet the hills and hollows flow with moonshine whiskey In spite of all. What good would the two p?lice do? 1 don't think lt will.work. If Mr. ilarrls wants to put n/o/C forte 'Into plo I think it would be bettor td ap point one or two moro constables and kee)? what we already have. As a matter of fact, tho police In the towns are paid by the month or year and they can hardly keen down the liquor traffic, and they can't keep good order all tho time. 1 believe that every Statt' officer-- thal is, every State constable and United States Revenue officer-should get such pay as he earns, and Mr. Harris would do well to consider Ibis mat ter on this basis, Lot the oinoer get pay for what he does. If he does nothing, let him get nothing. I know lots of our county and lots of our people, and with all kind feeling I must say that I don't think it will do at all to appoint two police and do away with other officers. 1 am a farmer and live where I seo the need of good officers.

Another continuance was granted nt tho In stance of Mr. Herndon for tho absence of a witness. Such complaints as this have come to nie often, and It is common talk that a party must em ploy Mr. Herndon In order to win cases before Mr. Crisp.
