Letter from Georgia.

New ERA, GA, March 6, 1893.
DEAR COURIER: On Friday we drove
Rex, our ;ai..A.ful Montana, up the Red
Hollow road ,y Martin and Avalon, rail-
road towns on the E. A. J.. Railroad.
Avalon is beautiful town, owned and
controlled by r. D. Vow &; Co. Here we
noticed about thousand bales Of cotton,
brick stores and depot, everything denot-
ing thrift and prosperity. Mr.. Vow is
native of Oconee county and learned his
letters at the knees of the writer in
14S. Hence he reads the COURIER.
Just above Avalon we take the Jenk-
ins Ferry road, crossing the beautiful
Tugaloo at the ferry. Mr.. Gus Perkins
owns the ferry, and the land on both
sides is first-class bottom land.
Much improvement seems to be going
on from here to Westminster. Good
roads, good churches, and good farms in
a high state of cultivation are all along
the roads, and 6enoting the highest ideal
of a grateful and progressive people.
Reaching Westminster at nj stfall, we
stopped at the hospitable hoi.e of Col.
r. E. Mason, where we had good time
with music, mirth and converse sweet" :"
A gentleman of foreign BIRTH called
around, who claimed to hail from Den
mark, and gave us display of success
sion of sweet sounds On the piano and
organ. We played, among other pieces,
Dixie" This did not seem to he rel
ished by the Dane and he sang out in
broken English: From de sublime to
the ridiculous We asked him which
was the ridiculous. The fellow looked
like sapajou. Col. Mason and Bro.
Lcathers treated him like stranger
unawares," for some have entertained
angels, ETC., but we thought the case was
like angels visits, few and far between.
Miss Pauline explained: We were South
erners and Dixie was our national air.
Westminster is making many improve
ments of which cannot speak now.
We came back by South Union and
Knox's bridge Mr.. L. O. BurrisS has
just given the road by South Union a
first-class working. and Mrs. S. NJ. Craw-
ford is very low. No hope Of life.

I" Potato Party"
For the Keowee Courier.]

TUGALoo, S. c., March 7th, 1898.
One of the social events Of the season
was 'sPotate Party," at Longs Hill,
few evenings ego, gotten up by some OF
the young ladies' Of Retreat and Miss
Margurite Sheldon, of Tugaloo. There
was goodly number of young ladies and
gents present. Westminster and Geor-
gia were represented by several of their
very best looking young men, The party
amused themselves playing (of course
they didn't dance; oh, noD Quicker"
Justification etc., etc. The amuse-
ments continued, to the delight of every
one present, until about midnight, when
it was announced that the potato contest
would take place, which was for each
you1g gentleman to selecta partner, each
to have large round yam and table
spoon, the potato to be placed on the
floor, IA time keeper and judge being ap-
pointed), and the couple, or either OF
them, lifting the potato in the shortest
time with the spoon, was to receive a
prize, and the couple requiring the long
est time to pick up the potato also re-
ceived prize. Mr. Henry Werner and
Miss frankie Sheldon, having accom-
plished the feat of raising the potato in
less time than any of the others, (time
Is seconds), were awarded a beautiful
"toy," the prize being presented with a
short speech by one of the party. Mr..
Luther England and Miss Hattie Nc
Clanahan received the other prize, it
having taken them one minute and forty
five seconds TO raise the potato, they
were awarded the taters. Thus ended
one of the most enjoyable parties of II
season. May it, like history, repeat
itself, and that right soon.
Our genial ex-Sheriff, W. ". Moss,
whom we hope to see reinstated at the
next election, for he was in the war and
knows at least how to tote a s,cOrd, came
down to Retreat last Friday in hack
for the purpose of carrying some OF
Retreats lovely young ladies on visit
to your city. His accomplished daughter,
Miss Genie, is teaching at Retreat. She.
together with Misses Hattie McClanahan
and Brevard Werner, got aboard the hack
and went by the Cross Roads. where they
were Joined by Bethers accomplished and
fascinating teacher, Miss frankie Shell
don. They report and exceptionally nice
time and are very grateful for the many
attentions shown them while in Wal
halla, especially some. FAT.

The Fight Over the Taxes.
columbia Evening Journal

The Attorney General gives out the
States petition for !-rit of habeas cor
pus proceedings in the case of the She
riffs now held for contempt of the United
States Court. The whole is a pamphlet
of eighty-six pages, embodying the peti-
ton of the Sheriffs, together with numer-
Gus afiidavits of the several Sheriffs and
Chairr1en of the Boards of Assessors,
etc.
The petition holds that the several
Sheriffs acted under the orders Of the
County Treasurers of their respective
counties, and in so doing were only the
representatives of the State in the dis
charge of their official duties, and that
the controversy is with the State and not
with the several Sheriffs in their individ-
ual capacity.
The petition also claims that property
in the hands of receiver is not exempt
from taxation, and further denies that
the Circuit Court of the United States
has jurisdiction in the matter.
The petition also sets forth that tie
laws of the State provide for the refund
ment of taxes illegally assessed and col
lected, upon petition to the Comptroller
General, and that no such petition has
been made in this case. 1t also AYERS
that the several receivers as appointed
by the United States Court were ap-
pointed subject to the laws OF the State
of South Carolina; that the receivership
did not relieve the properly from its
obligations to the State any more than
if it had remained in the hands of its
original owners.
The petition concludes by insisting that
the injunction proceedings are against
the State; that to enjoin the functionary
is to forbid the function of the State to
tax by its own laws; and that the petit
toner, as the State officer charged with
this State function, is sued by the re-
ceiver, which is in fact suit against the
State and contrary to the eleventh
amendment of the Constitution of the
United States; that the exigency which
induced the appointment of receiver
does not in any respect abridge the right
of the State to the collection of its taxes
in accordance with its own statute laws.

DEAR COURIER: Road working is the
order of the day.

seen seventy-seven winters, is seriously

Rabun county, Georgia, is in big
notion of building bridge across Chat
tooga river at Rogue's Ford. 1t pro-
poses to build one moiety, provided oco-
nee builds the other. The bridge is badly
needed and will supply long felt want
We don't want any Cabinet Office, post
Office, nor any other kind of office, but
we do want Gov Tillman to recommend
to the next Legislature that the dog tax
of South Carolina be appropriated 70 the
county of Oconee as public school fund,
said fund to be used in paying the teach
ers' claims IS they come due. A county
that is forced to ask credit Of its public
officers ought to dissolve copartnership
or ask relief from some source. For our
part we will be satisfied with the dog tax.
Old mother earth seemed to have sus-
pended with the regular laws of nature
on Inauguration day, and jumped North
about 25 degrees to take part In the
national celebration. If the office-seek-
ers received as cold a reception as the
weather seemed to indicate, some Of them
will certainly get left. We hope Grover
and the other big folks got frost bit
enough to put them in the notion OF
moving the Capitol South, where it ought
to be.
Last week some parties on the South
Carolina side took the dispensary fever:
and with two little oxen hitched to lit
tie wagon, they set out with little kes
of whiskey for parts unknown. About
sundown one afternoon they had reached
the summit of the hill, on the Georgia
side, near the river. The oxen, perceiv-
ing that their masters had taken a little
too much whiskey for their own good,
took advantage of their now perpendicu-
larity and dispensed themselves of their
woke and returned to South Carolina.
The dispensers, having become aware OF
the existing circumstances, set out in
pursuit of their servants. After rambling
for some time they bethought themselves
of their little keg and returned thither,
when 10! they found that it had dis
pensed with itself. And now to the
sequel: The oxen dispensed with, the
wlliskey dispensed with, and they, too,
must be dispensed with, and they were.
Truly, "the way of the transgressor is
hard.'' NJ c. b.

Just TARIFF REFORM.

The people of the United States have
decreed that on this day the control Of
their government in its legislative and
executive branches shall be given TO
political party pledged in the most posi-
tive terms to the accomplishment Of
tariff reform They have thus deter
mined in favor of more just and equita-
bic system OF Federal taxation. The
agents they have chosen to carry out
their purposes are limited by their promi-
ses, not less than by the command of the
master. to devote themselves unremit-
tingly to this service. While there should
be no surrender of the principles, our
task must he undertaken wisely and with
out vindictiveness. Our mission is not
the punishment but the rectifcation OF
wrongs. If, in lifting the burdens from
the daily life of our people, we reduce
the inordinate and unequal advantages
too long enjoyed. this is but necessary
incident of our return to right and JUS
tice. Ii we exact from unwilling minds
acquiescence in the theory of an honest
distribution of the fund of governmental
benefcence treasured up for all, we but
insist upon the principle winch underlies
our free institutions.
When we tear aside the delusions and
misconceptions which have blinded our
countrymen to their conditions under
the vicious tariff laws we but show them
how far they have been led away from
the paths of contentment and prosperity.
When we proclaim that necessity for
a revenue to support the government
furnishes the only justification for tax
ing the people we announce truth SO
plain that its denial would seem to indi-
cate the extent to which the judgment
may be influenced by familiarity with the
peryersions of the taxing power, and
when we seek to reinstate the self-confi-
dence and business enterprise of our
citizens by discrediting the abject depend
ence upon the government favor we strive
stimulate those elements of American
character which support the hope Of
American achievements.
THE DEMOCRACY on TRIAL.
Anxiety for a redemption of the pledges
which my party has made, and a solici-
tude for the complete justification Of the
trust the people have reposeI;; in us, con-
strain me to remind those with whom ]
am to cooperate that we can succeed IN
&C.. work which has been especially
yus only by the most sincere,
W rs sand disinterested effort.
