The IsIuc Ridge Railroad.

Tho stockholders Of the Georgia and East
Tennessee Railroad met recently in Knoxville,
Tenn. Col. Cole, President of the Road, said
his management controlled nine hundred miles
Of railroad, md these roads wcrc in good cond-
ton, and the income from the same increasing.
lie spoke hopefully of the future of Knoxville.
He said road would be built connecting Lou
isvile, Ky, with Knoxville, and also looking to
the connection with the Atlantic seaboard by
the way Of Asheville, N. c., Columbia to
Charleston and other plnoes. He likewise made
the statement that in all probability the road
from Knoxville by the way of the Rabun Cap to
Augusta, would bo completed in few years.
All around us We hear OF movements being
made TO get to the SEQ from The West. The
Blue Ridge route is the best and cheapest and
we hope some one III assist in infusing new
life into this greut undertaking.

THE NEW VOLUME.

81, This Is our anniversary and wo have word
to say to our friends and the public. The
CouRIER has been published for thirty .one
years. During this relatively short period
history has been crowded with most important
events. A revolution has swept over the land,
Destroying In its path our institutions and en-.
dangering the liberties Of the people. Never.
theless. time, with its ceaseless tide, waits for
neither man nor events Time is constantly
pressing forward and the laggard will be left
behind.
This is in effect o new era. Impressions Of q
serious and lasting character have been i'm
pressed by the people on their government. II
Is now plain matter Of faot-no theory or
vagary to fret and worry US on tho way. The
idea Of Hamilton hos prevailed and strong
government has its powerful hands on US. We
of the South do not take to this fact kindly and
readily, but we have The facility for doing so Us
readily as any other people, and probably moro
so.
But the CoURIEn is q fixture in the affections
Of the people. Firm and conservative, we have
stood for good government against oil comers
We shall continue TO do so. We shall also strive
for the material welfare Of tho people-their
education, their elevation and growth in oil that
il good and great in the present aud the future.
TO do these things effectually wo must have tho
support Of the people, not q fragment, but the
whole people. This Is net &C much for the
benefit of ourselves, as it will be for the welfare
of the people. And to do this we must be re-
warded. The OK that treadeth out the grain
must not be muzzled. Our subscription price
is low, very low, within the reach Of oil. Come
to the support Of your county paper and by
your patronage make 1t one Of tho best in the
country.
To our patrons who are in arrears We have
word. Everything We use costs money, and
good round sum at that. Do you owe us any
thing2 If you do, come forward while money
is abundant and liquidate your Indebtedness to
US. 1t will help us and mako you feel happy.
For another volume we have nothing to promise
outside of the past. We shall be waohtul and
jealous of your rights and interests. Commence
the volume with us and get rs many of your
friends as possible to 60 along with you.

Prescription.

The work Of prescription has been com :
menoed in small way in Greenville. It is
not a remedy for anything. aud We are eur.
prised to see sensible people Attempting tho
impossible with it. Besides. it is morally
wrong. We will find that the political strain
is already great enough. Peuple would pre-
fer more freedom in politics than they have.
1t is only necessity that has knit Us 80 clnsely
together. Perhaps nero excuse, as in
Georgia, will split us wide opon. We should
let well enough alone. Whenever novices
begin to play in tho political fire somebody
will bc hurt.

Our County Affairs.

We published last and again this week tho
annual report Of the County Commissioners
showing the expenditures Of the county from
November, 1870 to November, 1880. The
amount of xpenditurcs.-$6,s sl4. .30-is a large
one for small county like ours. There is to
be added to this sum about $400 dollars for
State witnesses, which amount is paid by the
County Treasurer without the same passing
through the Office Of tho County Commiss oners.
This would make an aggregate annual expendi-
ture Of $6,7l4.39. Tho tax Of three mills will
raise $4,67s.8l, leaving deficiency Of So, ,Os6. SO
for 1880.
We have not called attention to this report for
the purpose of laying fault at anybody's door,
for the very good and sufficient reason that we
do not know that fault Of any kind can be laid
at the door of anybody in respect to this matter.
We call attention to it for very different thing
or things, IL the reader please.
Being behind year by year becomes chronic
after while and should not be permitted
Then what oan be doneS Can our expenditures
DO retrenched? We see no hope for it, The
reader will see that the expenditures for bridges
are not large, but that the amount of SOFIA 80
entirely. There are too many Of these items
but We do not SEQ our way clear to reduce the
number nor amount
There is ono thing, however, about whici
there can or ought not to be more than ont
opinion: If we make debts we ought to pay
them. Four mills will not raise $8,7l4S9; i
will take nearer four and one-half mills. Thi
is large sum and the whole thing demand
CLOSE scrutiny at the hands Of the tax payers.
The new Board Of County Commissioners vii
10 into Office soon. If they can run the count
on three mills tax they will deserve we'll Of thei
county. II they cannot do so, then the mem
bers of tho Legislature must levy an extra tax

Having obtained the agency Of

cleans the clothes more rapidly
