The manufacture and sale of oleo-
margarine continues TO increase, in
spite of the opposition. The edlbility
of oleomargarine has been q subject OF
much discussion. The dairymen hold
that the bogus butter is made Of hog
fat. soap grease and other unpalat-
able IL not unwholesome materials.
while the manufacturers contend that
the article is but a preparation Of puri-
fed tallow and is every bit as nour-
ishing as the high-priced creamery
butter. While it may be difficult To
give a decision as to the truth of The
arguments for and against oleomar-
garine, the fact that the manufactur-
ers continue in business with increased
trade seems an indication that they
have the best of the debate so far ms
the masses are concerned.

A Visit TO WaIIlalIa.

We had tho pleasure Of spending last
Sunday in tho quaint old town of Wal
halla, Since our last visit good Dor
tion of tho town had boon swept by fire
and tho old buildings have boon ro-
placed by now and substantial brick
buildings and tho work still COOS on.
or course wo went to SEQ our friends of
tho KE0wEE COURIER. When we looked
at their nico brick building it made lib
almost covetous. Up stairs arc tho law
Offices Of Jayncs & Sholor and tho lowor
story is occupied by tho Offices and tho
composing rooms of TIE COURIER, one
of tho oldest and best county papers in
the State. We graspcd tho hand of that
old veteran, Mr.. Dresden A. Smith, who
has been large factor in making THE
COURIER what it is and who still kceps
1t up to high water mark. And then We
mot Jaynes and Shelor, who stand
solidly at his back. It was not our
pleasure to meet Mr.. j. A. Stcck, but we
hoard only good things of him. We mot
n number of gentlemen who wero SO
kind to us that We wore mado to feel
ID
place we would like to live in Walhalla.
We greeted Col. II. S. VanDivierc,
Mcssrs. James Seaborn, N. l.. FAINT, ii,
A. H. Gibson, Joo Norton and othors
whose names wo do not now recall.
Walhalla has superb climate and is II
most delightful place to spend tho sum-
mcr. Were we not SO closely engaged in
trying to make the journal worthy of
keeping the company of TUE COURIER,
we might spend week the. ourself.
On Sunday We preached at tho Baptist
church morning and night. Tho breth-
rem Of Walhalla have moved their house
of Worship to good location and arc
now prepared to do solid work. The
house is worry neat and when completed
will be nico enough. All that these good
people need is a first class man for pastor
who will 1.-Two with thcm and do faithful
work. We do not know any place which
presents finer opportunity to sorvo the
Lord than this fold. Tho church has in
it sOmo excellent and preacher
who would 60 thoro and preach tho
gospel and do pastoral work would soon
have as good a field in many respects as
any church in tho State. Wo were sadly
reminded while in Walhalla of our dearly
beloved and departed friend and brother,
Rov. G. II. Carter, who served the church
there so long as pastor.-Tho South Caro-
