held service on account of the greater
facility with which accidents can be re-
paired; but if this were. not reason
enough iron would be unsuitable for it in
a climate where the temperature falls
Frequently TO sixty degrees below zero,
which would render iron as brittle al
most rs glass.
Some of the slcds are made with pro-
jecting handles behind to steer with
and with side rails, to which is secured
the load. The runners of the slcds on
the coast are usually shod with bone or
ivory, but in the interior it is customary
to protect runner with a shoe of ice.
The ability to make an ice shoe which
will stand the wear of days travel is
one of the tcsts of good Eskimo hunter.
A team of dogs usually numbers five, al
ways driven tandem, and they are trained
to travel long distances without food,
and are never fed except in rare cases
until the end of the days journey. Each
dog is then given small quantity of
dried fish soaked in oil by a native who
stands ready with whip or club to chas-
tisc any dog who tries to get more than
his share
The natives idea of distance is very
vague, and it is therefore hard to find
out exactly how fara dog team can travel
in days journey. Much depends up
on the condition of the snow, the state
of the weather, etc., but from the most
reliable sources learned that sixty miles
is about an average days run under
favorable conditions. But even this can
not be kept up for any length of time, as
the dogs feet get tender and they be-
come peevish, morose and quarrelsomc
to such an extent that even the natives
ingenuity cannot Get any work ont of

A.rLowER WITH a SOUL.

Every springtime forth / go
Searching for this spirit-fower,
For who knows but it may grow,
After some inviting shower,
With tho blossoms by the stream,
Just to see how it would seems
No one yet has ever found
Such flower, i am told:
But il thus the frozen grounI
Lives OF violets can hold
And the frail anemones-
1t might harbor one of these.
Will it blossom white or blue.
Will 1t meek and modest grow,
Or, with perfume that is now,
Like stately lily blows
Will it bear some sacred rams
or the land from whence it camee
Loving quiet ways the best,
Answering some plaintiye word,
1t may grow beside tho nest
Ola shy, brown mother-Sird-
And the little birds below
Be the only ones to know.

Nice weather for foddering and people
are making good use of it. Some people
in the lower counties don't pull their
fodder. They say the cost of pulling.
the damage of the corn and the risk of
losing it on the stalk exceeds its worth.
They SOW peas and reap vines and grass
with much less cost.

have good school in their midst. He

A Card from Mr.. ]. c. Mickler.

EDITORS KEowEE COURIER: l beg to
state to the Democratic voters OF Oconee
county, through your esteemed journal,
the utter falsity of the damaging and
derogatory charge made against me, that
l had ''gone over to the Sheppard side,
and had, therefore, gone back on the
Tillman side, or that of the people
This report was dextrously circulated on
the eve of the primary election, too
late for me to correct, and which, there
fore, am satisfied did me great injury,
by causing a great many to vote against
me, who otherwise would have given me
their hearty supporc at The polls.
desire to say that have always been
an ardent supporter OF Capt. P. R. Till
man. and have all the time enoocsed his
administration of the State government.
l have publicly stated on several occa-
sions that if my support of Gov. Tillman
would defeat my election to the office OF
Clerk of Court. l would rather that 1t
would do so. than for the rule by the
people. as represented by Gov. Tillman,
to be defeated.
AS candidate for Office. l desired in
the first. as now do in the second pri-
mary, the votes of all of whom | am
their choice for tie Office for which am
candidate.
At the solicitation of several personal
friends. who desired to vote for me, and
also intended to vote for the Sheppard
electors. had few such tickets printed,
but distinctly stated to the parties that
I wished them to understand that If they
voted that ticket they would be voting
for a straight Tillmanite Clerk OF Court.
Notwithstanding this statement many
were misled and am frank to confess
that in this act committed grave mis-
take. I believed that the lines had been
strongly drawn and that such tickets
would not lose Gov. Tillman single
vote. but that l would thereby get the
additional votes of these few personal
friends. This is the reason that inti'l-
enced my action in the matter.
Since the first primary have been con-
fined to my bed with serious illness and
have not been able to canvass among the
people. :,
trust that this communication will
refutc these erroneous impressions al
luded to. and that the people may have
no cause longer to misjudse my politica
principles and preferences.
take pleasure in again placing myseI
souarely upon the record as heartily II
: favor of the present able State admins
tration and as strongly in favor OF eter!
dc,onnd of the Farmers Alliance. II
; am favored by your ballots and elected
Clerk of the Court on next Tuesday, th
18th. will faithfully endeavor to dis
t charge the duties of the Office cilicientl
S in the interest Of all concerned.

No Third Party.

On our first page will be found anlnter-
view of J. W. Bowden, Esq, by a reporter
for the Columbia ReqiSter, relative to the
formation OF Third or Peoples Party
in South Carolina. We think Mr.. Bow
den is counting without his host when
he claims that there are 10000 men at
his back ready to join his new party at
this time.
There are doubtless that number OF
men in the State who entertain political
views in accord with Mr.. Bowdcn. but
they went into the recent primary and
voted. while Mr. Bowden did not. He
remained out for the reason that he
expected to affiliate with the Third Party;
but he is alone. and neither he nor any
honorable man can advise those who
took part in the primary election to fol-
low HIN in his revolt a! s.the national
stand aearers of Democracy
Moreover, .svoss.y..;man whose name was
on the Democratic club rolls last spring
was represented IN the conventions e''iie'
for the purpose of sending delegates te
the Chicago convention, and good talth

This is not cracking the party lash over
any man. but only ask nc him to carry
out his contract obligations voluntarily
assumed by him. No man is bound t(
enter his name or q Democratic eln'
roll nor take part in Democratic PR
