OF INTEREST TO SOLDIERS. We are inreceipt of tho following letter from J, II. Wideman, represen tative of the war risk insurance de partment of the Federal government, with request that we publish for the Information and for the good of the ex-soldiers of our community: "No Armistice with Heat!'.." "There ls no armistice will? death. "Notice ls hereby given to all ex service men and women that served in the world war. that, no matter how long you have boen discharged, or how long your insurance has boen lapsed or cancelled, you may rein state your war risk (term) insurance at an ytime before July 1st ,1920, or within IS months after your dis charge, whichever may he the later date.

"In the county of Oconee there woro .lt; deaths reported in tho month of March. "Suppose as many buildings had hoon destroyed by lire, each with a value of $."?.000. The Oconee county tires for the month of March would have netted a loss of $ 180,000. Thir ty-six bros with a loss of $180,000 would make any county sit up and take notice. "Suppose 36 families bad been robbed of all their possessions in the month of March. This county would have gone wild. "Many of theso deaths wore of women and children that do not have earning capacity: but suppose that three-fifths, or 22 in number, wero mon with oarning capacity: If they had been insured for $10,000 each, which ls the value placed on a life hy the government, there would i'savo been practically no loss to tho co, n ty, bul If only hall carried tl\is amount, the county would still lose $1 10,000 in the month of March.

There is a lot of good, sound, wholesome food for Untight In tho above, and it will bo well for our Oconee ex-service men to more than merely "nibble" at the - food." noo nee has a very live post of the Amer ican Legion, and those who lead In this organization will ho only too glad to give help and assistance to any ex-service man desiring to take advantage of this extra liberal In surance feature. KKK I* RECORD CLEAR. Al the beginning of the year 1920 The Courier announced thal it would publish every week a record of the local police court. In doing this ?ve have no malice toward any one. We hope that the day will come when there' will be nothing for us to pub lish. Hut when thal time comes it will be because no laws have been violated, no arrests made, and con sequently no record made in police court for us to publish. Wo started this "feature" of news giving not for any value it may havo to us, or to satisfy any morbid or sordid curiosity on tho part of tho public. Wo do not claim to be art ists; therefore wo draw no man's picture with our pen and print lt for the public gaze. Wo aro lotting Tho Courier stand simply ns a mir ror, into which tho public may look if it doslrcs and soo roflocted there Just what tho individual has put into tho glass hy standing beforo it in tho police court. Wo havo published sovoral things thut wo sincerely wish had never been put into "tho glass." Wo fear that wo will In the futuro publish things that wo will regret to pub lish. Hut all may bo assured of ono j thing: We are going to publish the | record Just as it is made. We have no whitewash in our establishment, and would not use it if we had. To start now and eliminate from the public record any caso that is put there would he bul to undo the work of the past six months and to nullify the possibility of good in the fu i ure. Wo have said "no" four times, to four separate requests for omitting four names from tho record. "No" stands as our answer to any such ro quest in tho future. We havo nothing to do with the making of the record. Wo will publish the record as it is made by the Mayor from tho various rocords made by individuals. What a groat opportunity tho Re publican party lost when it failed to combine two elements in tho g. o. p. There was a considerable faction in tho convention favorable to Gen. Wood, and thero ls a not inconsider able force wedded to anti-prohibi tion policies. It would have been a groat stroko of what doubtless CJen. Wood, hoing somewhat of a militar ist, would term "strategy" had they permitted these two forces to have formed a coalition undor thc name of the Wood-alcohol gang. It might have proved finite a drawing card for the party. Til li IMO.WK It I) AM ASSOCIATION (>r tho Baptist Church will Meet with Wolf Stake Church, Aug. 3d.

Wo were still handicap ped because a great many of the em ployees of that company in their printing establishment were absent because of sickness, and have only recently been able to catch up with their work. Very few printing establishments will take the Job of getting out min utes for the association because it ls very unusual work, and very few concerns aro familiar with this class of work, lt is difficult to get out and arrange minutes so that they will be satisfactory. The printing profession has been unusually abnormal for the past two years, and wo hope that we aro now past this abnormal condl tlon.
