On tho 30th of May, 1900, at tho city
of Columbus, Ohio, to committee
of the G. A. r., n magnificent floral
tribute was tcndcrcd by the Southerncrs
to be placed on tho graves of the Union
dead in Green Lawn cemetery. This
tribute, in Wow of tho declarations of
the President in Atlanta and other Sou
thern cities, vas peculiarly appropriate
The tender was made by ex-Confcdorate
soldiers who appreciated tho efforts
made to let tho dead past bury it's dead
and to cement North and South again as
ono united nation. But tho committee
of the G.. a. r. declined tho tribute
There is said to be great indignation
among the members of tho G. A. r. over
this action of tho committee, but that
time nor occasion has not been afforded
for tho membership to make their disap-
proval felt. Wo have fclt that all tho bit
torncss OF the past, incident to tho last
war, had been buried. However, if we
must still remain apart in feelings, so may
it be. The South is ready to maintain her

T0NlCS AND SEDATiYES.

THE KEowEE COURIER was brimful
OF news last week. We have heard it
limited that tho change in the manage
mont of this paper has boon kind of

Oconee News, May 18th.
Webster defines n tonic as "a medi-
oine that increases tho strength and
gives vigor of action to tho system" 1t is
always in order to take a tonic, especially
when the flavor is pleasant to the taste.
Such is tho tonic furnished TIE CoU-
RIER by tho Oconoo News in it's present
management. But doctors sometimes
have to tako their own medicine, and
were we to prescribe for tho versatile
editor of tho News at tho present time,
we might find q scdativo moro nccdful
than tonic. He is brimful Of energy,
pluck and perseverance,, but then he has
entered upon a now and untriod fold,
and ho may find tho way both rooty and
stumpy. At this juncturo it might bo

tered by ono of his admirers to an ablo

MILES LEFT WITHOUT AUTHORITY.

Gen. Miles, in the name Of tho Com
manding General of tho Army of tho
United States, has been forbidden to is-
sue any order directing tho movement
OF staff officer unless personally eigncd
by Aiger. Stan officers have been told
to report directly to Alger and not to
Miles. Now the Secretary is dissipating
tho Generals personal staff to the four
quarters of tho continent and tho satire
of it all lies in tho fact that every order
is signed with Milns' name. c.--Clevoland
Plain Dealer.
Criticism Of those in power has be-
como of lato q dangerous procedure,
and especially to those holding positions
in the United States. Cen. Miles ooti-
Ceivod it his duty to criticiso tho Sccrc-
tary of War for the bad beef furnished
to tho soldiers in tho war with Spain.
Although much testimony was taken in
standardization OF tho fact that tho beof
was anything but what tho United States
ought to furnish hor patriots who did
the fighting, still Miles is condemned
and Algor is on top in tho controversy.
Tho whiteWash brush will do much for
those in authority, especially for those
under tho administration. Verify, what
politics will do!

South Carolina is fast forging her way
to the front In tho cotton manuGaot turing
industry. II Il said that Col. James l..
Orr will build a new factory at Anderson
with n capital stock Of $4O0, 900, Capt.
&. "a. Smythe will build one at Belton
with capital stock Of $500, 900, and that
Hon. w. B. s. Whaley will build one In
Columbia with more than 81 900, 900
capital stock. These are but q few of
tho industries now projected in, this
State. Such enterprise we rejoice at, as
it is destined to make this great State.
What we wish to call attention to is
tho fact that 1t is not Che mammoth in
dustriss alone that contribute to the in
dustrial progress Of q people tho small
towns contribute largely to the growth
and life of q people and pay handsome
profits to stockholders. They do not
demand suoh large amounts Of capital
stock to operate them, and can DO built
by small towns and owned and operated
by the home people.
Walhalla is ono Of tho bost locations
in the State for the establishment of q
hard wood factory to make, sp okes, hubs,
fellies, handles, plowstooks. Co., and
such factory can be put on foot by our
own town people with as little outlay as
any place We know Of. We have tho
greatest quantity Of The rosy best timber
right at our door, with q rural people
ready and anxious to furnish it at OK
tremely low figures.
In tho town Mr.. j. D.. Vernon has q
concrete building most admirably adapt
cd for such an enterprise, which no
doubt can bo easily had for tho purpose.
Thus in the shortes space of timo we
could DO prepared for tho manufacture
of many of those things that to-day we
arc buying from tho Wost.
Again, thero is no town in tho State
where knitting factory could be better
and moro pruftably operated. For such
an enterprise wo arc we'll prepared and
fitted. It could be fitted up and started
with reasonably small amount of oapi-
tai, and would we'll accompany tho cot
ton mill hero.
Mr.. j. w. Holloman has commodious
two-story brick building, we'll located
and exactly suited for the purpose, which
ho would contribute to tho stock of such
n company.
Mr.. G. w. Pitchford would, we under
stand, contribute an engine with which
to run tho machinery to tho stock Of a
company. This would bo st least one
third of the amount necessary for be-
ginning such an industry.
AS tho inauguration of such industries
would furnish now markets for tho pro-
duce of tho thrifty farmers of Oconeo
county, and especially those near by
Walhalla, we fool confident that many of
thom would subscribe stock to such en-
tcrprises and tho return would amply re-
pay them, aside from tho dividends sure
to como from such industries in their
midst.
Again, Walballa has number of prac-
tical business mon who could be induced
to take hold and manage such enter
tcrprises and carry them on to a success
full termination. We would thus furnish
to our young men profitable employment
at home and stop their omigrating to
other parts. 1t is worth the trial and we
hope to SEQ it takon hold of.

peal representative in tho office of the

Enthusiastically of that company's round

American Company's press will not from
$40 to $500 moro than from tho old

ago, mado test of the matter, bringing
tho exact number of pounds of tho same
quality to Mr.. Clements that he did to q
square bale press, without lotting either
gin know he was making the test, and
tho roundlap bale NOTED just 1915 moro

Mr.. Clements says that one season has

continue it's use and abandon it's other

AND OHIO, roo.

We note that in tho State of Ohio re-
comfy hurley brute, of Southern negro
proclivities, made an assault upon res
pectable white woman, and that some
five hundred enraged white mon were
hot aftcr his blood, and that it took
strong guard to protect the negro from
tho court of Judge Lynch. Verify, tho
determination TO protect tho virtue of
oar decent women is not confined to the
recently been preaching that lynch law
had not proved successful in checking
the committal of tho brutal, unnamable
crimo. 1t seems, also, that all the con-
sure visited by tho press on the heads of
those who wreak swift vengeance on tho
criminal has also failed to confno Judge
Lynch's court to tho Southern people.
Tho press OF tho South as woll rs that of
the North have carried thoir criticisms to
n disgusting extent; 80 much so, that in
thoir severe ccnsure of lynchers they
have forgotten 1, condemn tho crime
which calls for swift punishment. Their
condemnation has and will fail TO check
thore is a means of swift punishment de-
wise TO take the place of Iynching, and
that, too, without humiliating our mo-
dest ladies by an appearance in public to
testify on such outrageous charges.
The writer's, both South and North, may
howl against lynchings, but they will pro-
coed all tho samo as long as brutes COM
nit tho crime calling for lynchings. Wo
suggest that tho teachings of editors
might be moro effective should their pens
bo welded awhile against that detesta-
bio crimo. So little has boon written
against the crime that many have almost
overlooked tho fact that most heinous
ono had been committed before thero
was any lynching. Lot us turn loose tho
invoctive against tho cause for lynching
for time and sec If that will not be
more effective.

Ex-Governor John Gary Evans, of

charge of tho city of Havana, called at
tho White House to-day, says a Wash
ington dispatch of Wednesday. Ho re-
turned from Cuba about three weeks
ago. His accounts of Cuban conditions
arc most interesting. He is firm be-
liever in annexation. "If you could havo
seon tho army that marched into Havana
behind Gomez you would have acknowl-
edged tho impossibility of decent self-gov
ornmont on that island. OF all tho heterc-
goncous assemblages ever gathered, this
was the worst. Coxoy's army was q
company of aristocratic gentlemen by
comparison. All this talk about tho
patriotism of the Cuban army Is q myth
They arc largely actuatod by desire for
plunder and for Office. They now want
to rulo the island because they 500 thoir
chances of looting tho treasury will not
DO good 80 leg as it romans under
American control. TO turn tho island
over to the Cubans would DO WORSE
crime again civilization than to havo
allowed the Spanish to rule it,"
