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."

MAYOR BROWN BACK AGAIN.
1/on gt hy Bombardment With Word
Ammunition.
Walhalla, S. 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

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.

less than last year, tho condition be

93.2 per cont on the corresponding

indicates a production of 1,315,000
bushels as against 1,446,031,000
bushels on June 1, 1919, tho Decem-]

final production of 1 18,000,000
bushels.
Tho acreage of wheat In South
Carolina to bo harvested tills year

this at 40 cents a pound-and it may bring
50 cents-means $44 extra to the acre. This
will pay for all your fertilizer and a good
part of tho picking.
Side-dressing will prevent enough shedding
to make a big diff?rence in tho crop, besides
tho extra fruit it will put on.
First put on tho fruit on tho plant, and
then-fer a sure thing, for a sure receipt,
for a sure remedy, for ii sure preventive
