JOHN E\ CRAIG. ANOTHER ANDERSON MAN OUT For Solicitor of Tenth Circuit-IiOon L. Rico Announces Candidacy. Leon L. Rico, Esq., of Anderson announces his candidacy for the of fice of Solicitor of the Tenth Judi cial Circuit. Referring to bia candi dacy the Belton Journal says: "The friends and acquaintances of Deon L. Rico will be interested in the announcement that he will enter the race for Solicitor in the primary this summer. Four years ago he made a very creditable race for this position, It being his first offer for public office. He was born and raised in Belton and is known by practically everybody in and around his home town. "He has practiced law at Ander son since his graduation at the Uni versity of Virginia In 1907. and dur ing this time has tried many cases in alt the courts. Ho has made a suc cess of bis practice, and has a rec ord of which his friends may well be proud. "When the call carno for men to go to France he voluntarily loft a wifo and three little ones to do his bit for his country and the boys. He went to Franco In the summer of 1018 and was there until the armis tice, and remained until June, 1019, when he returned to his practice of tho law at Anderson. "He ls so well known In Belton that nothing need he said of his qual ifications for the position of Solicitor. Ho is fair and abovo reproach, sober, honest and true. Tho position of So licitor is an important one, for lt can I bo made one of persecution rather than of Justice to big and little, rich and poor, groat and small, but every ono who knows Leon L. Rico knows that every man will get a square deal at his bands." Keep Pouitry Clean Enormous Baby Chick Loss Caused Annually by Dice. "I would not try to koop poultry without Dr. Led ear's Poultry Rem edies," says Mrs. L?. V. Rose, of Cuero, Texas. "Wo have never had any of thom fall to do even moro than you claim for thom."

C., June 14, 1920. Editor Keowoe Courier: We are coming again asking space in The Courier in which' to vindicate ourselves and the town of Walhalla from the attacks made against us in your paper of June 2d and again of June 9th. . In your editorial column of June 2d. under the glaring headlines of "Bolshevism in Our Midst," you most assuredly used your little hammer with the rapidity of a twenty-two hundred volt charge. . We, in as modest and ao kind way as we knew how, called your atten tion to the fact that we attended the chautauqua regularly, and during this entire week did not see anything but good behavior. We rather apol ogized for taking no much of your valuable space. Bu', since your issue of the 9th we can come more boldly, because it seems as for printers' ink and space you have an over abund ance. Not being satisfied with giving us one dose of your "Bolshevism" you take the trouble to re-produce thc entire article, for the reason, as you give it, there was some little ty pographical error. Also you had some "very favorable comment on this article, and numbers expressed their regret that there was something the matter with it, and it did not read right." This, Mr. Editor, is just what we think. And lt was for this very reason that wo called your at tention to the matter In last week's Courier. It did not read right; it was not right. For a further dose of "Bolshev ism" you say in "unconscionable hoodlums,,-, "lt is a shame to our town that our citizens cannot safely leave their property standing on the streets of Walfialla In this year of Grace and Enlightenment. It is a shaine and a disgrace that our friends from other towns and sur rounding communities cannot come here without running the risk of be coming victims of our lawlessness." And then the final reason for repro duction Is, "lt may possibly give op portunity for what wo have said to soak in." This is not the first time we have heard of things being done and then rubbed it in. It Is vory common in most cases to give to each side its even number of innings. But tho editor bad the bat on the first inning and three times of the last issue, and firmly estab lishes himself in the belief that ho is still right. Admitting that "some FEW of our citizens, our town offi cials as a whole, and our police force have seen fit to seok to discredit our statement, and to impute to us the motive of KNOCKER." if the editor will take the trouble tb Inquire as to how many constitute that "FEW" citizens who believe It was a knock, ond altogether uncalled for, we be lieve thal something will begin* to SOAK IN on the editor. Mr Edit?*1?-, we have long recog nized that you are the "watchman''j .Mid if tho watchman falls to warn, (hen Ute responsibility rests on him. Von say we aro Dolsh-.vista--wo are [nwloss. We want to ask tho editor if ..iii these th Inge are true--and you say they are and that "you seek to correct an evil that exists, has ex isted unchecked for long months, and oven years,"-if you knew, or now know of such evils, why do you, or why have you not reported them to the proper authorities, so that they might have been nipped in the bud. Have you ever, (and we want to put tho emphasis on the ever) gone to those vested with the author ity of our town and furnished them with one whit of information or a clue by which they could run down the lawless set in Walhalla? If you have and they have not acted, then let's have a new administration some one who will make the viola tors of the law afraid to come out in open moonlight anti utterly destroy so much, of the people's property. You, in your burst of patriotism and oratory, exclaim "Is that the form of democracy that our boys fought for to make safe? If it is, we think It better had they not fought." The citizens of Walhalla, we believe, have as great a respect as any peo ple on earth for the boys who went and came back, and also as great a reverence for those of them who made the greatest of all sacrifices. They well deserve to rest in peace and not be dragged into every little newspaper controversy to give em phasis to what YOU have to say. You say this has existed unchecked for months and years. We wonder why you did not go back still farther and carry us back to the time that two little boys had a row Just out sido the Gorden of Eden, and espe cially to tho time of the "Bloody Thirtoen," and give us hail Columbia for what they did. We say that as far as the order at the chautauqua and grounds was concernod. wc saw nothing that would have offended tho most sensi tivo lady or gentleman, or any one I who was not Just hunting something i with which to givo us what tho Cat gave tho Owl. Mr. Editor, we accept your com parison with tho ostrich so far as this week of chautauqua ls concerned, except that wo had our heads under the tent and wore not trying to find fault with everybody oise. Wo would say further lu this connection that wo have more respect for tho wild hirds of Africa that bury their bills in the sand than we have for a cer tain other kind of bird with a red head, long hill and sharp claws, known ns tho Wood KNOCKER. Four years ago a certain gentleman ran for tho Presidency of those Uni ted States against Woodrow Wilson. About nil tho honorable gentleman did In his public uttorancos was to knock tho Homoerotic administra tion, without giving them ono blt of roal constructivo ideas as to some better plan. Wo Invite tho editor to como forward with evidence noces snry for conviction or with any plans for tho botterment of our town. We j aro ready to Join hands for a moro perfect day, and make Walhalla a real Utopia. As wo havo'said before, wo have nothing personal, and do not believe that the kind of newspaper advertls ment we are giving the public is the We luivo had flvo short crop this may ho unothor. It will p all tho cotton you can this > docs, hut it will pay you unui year, as cotton may bo linus full. Tho fertilizer used in sid< cotton pays bettor than any You apply it after you got yoi and cleaned, and tho crop g there's nothing ?Iso to got it. Wo aro making tho best Fertilizer put In sacks.

Tho reas is bccan.so it is short of plant application of fertilizer is nc by tho timo cotton begins to is when there is tho greatest cotton plant, and then is whei plant food.

Ho would .'shed" too not think of not feeding yo timas a ?lay when you aro wor Anderson An !_ bout; But ?yon have had the first, sec I piid, ihird und fourth Innings? while ] thin $ our second, and we prefer it' to h our last. We fire ronilhdod from I the nimbbr of articles that appeared j in last week's Courier of a man and his wife who could never agree. The husband said to his wife, "If you say ono other crooked word I will throw you in the lake and you may drown." Running through her mind like a flash she said, "Ram's horn." This was the crookedest word she could recall. She was thrown tn the lake and rosa with blubbels in her mouth, but no words came. She sank again and rose as before. At the third time, realizing that if she had the last word she would have to do it In some other way, she crooked her finger as the last possible effort to say the last crooked word. Wo are done with the matter ff the editor is. Still we re serve the right to claim our third inning. In conclusion, we insist in all good fellowship that if the editor knows ? the statements he has made to be true, we fnvlte him to our confidence, assuring him that we will be only too glad to assist In any way possible in righting these tremendous evils.
