WAIdlAIiliA, S. C. WE ONES RAY, JUNE 1, 11)1! I. < 'ONOKATUIJATIONS IN ORDER. Wo want to congratulate Walhalla and community for having the best ho ha ved hoy; and young men that can be boasted of by any community in any section. During the live days of Chautauqua there was not, so far ?is we have heard of, even one inci dent that occurred to mar a most, pleasant and delightful occasion or spoil for any one the enjoyment of ll single feature id tho ideal program of the entire live days. We are moro than ordinarily pleased to bo able lo make Hus assertion because Wal halla is "our town" to a greater do rree and to a fuller measure than many might suspect. Within tho recollection of Hie edi-! tor of The Courier he has attended some largo gatherings in somewhat larger localities, and lie can truth fully say that he has never Wintessod more, admirable conduct, on tile in side and on the outside, than has characterized tho whole tone and tenor of the 1921 Chautauqua season hi 'Walhalla. Tho people have be haved lil n most excellent manner hy instinct and intuitively and ga: Uiitously, The officers have been ob Horvod to move about tho Chautau qua premises with a degree of dig-j tilly thal at once inspired confidence' on the part of the public that all would lie well, and an equal confi dence on the part of any one-If such an one were present-who may have felt inclined to "break the rules of decorum/' that no such procedure would be tolerated for a moment. Everything went ?off without a marring word or act, so far as wo were able to judge, and so far as we have been able to hear. We are glad to commend this ex cellent spirit that has been so ad mirably exemplified, lt ls a mighty healthy sign. Wo feel prouder of Walhalla than ever before. Walhalla' Iso town to be proud of, and her peo ple constitute in the aggregate a cit izenship than which there is none belter to he found.

Brown last Monday Marvin Drowning, who had hoon ar rested on suspicion as being connec ted with the entry and robbery of thc store of W. M. Murphrce, of tho Oconee Creek section, Mr. drowning was dismissed, thora being no evi dence to hold him in connection and nothing upon which even suspicion could rest. In making mention of the case last week we sLltod lhat officers had traced steps from the Murphrce store to the. home of Mar vin Drowning, but we are informed that this information was incorrect. Mr. Murphrce. assisted by citizens ot the community, wo are now in formed, followed the tracks from the stoiv lo within about three hun dred yards of tho Browning home, and when the officers arrived 'he Drowning home was sea rob od, with ibo result \n given last we? k. nenr-'y the Unding of only some loose, flour in the Browning house.

It is said that some time ago Mr. Holden and W. H. Alexander, a neighbor, had some trouble, and it is thought that the shooting is tho outcome of this trouble. Tho shoot ing occurred at tho barn of Mr. Hol den on the evening of May 18th, Just before dark, as Mr. Holden was engaged In feeding his stock. He was shot from ambush, and lay, it is said, In a serious condition for quite a while before he was found and taken to his homo. Alexander was later arrested, charged with hav ing done the shooting. He gave bond for appearance for a lr>\ring before Magistrate Talley, of Salem, on the 10th of June, lt is said'thal the con dition of Mr. Holden is considered quite serious, though he ls not in a critical condition. -Several weeks ago a series of robberies took place In tho Fair Play section of Oconee county and just across the river In Georgia.
