Democrats in Congress are preparing to
make the Beer war one of their leading
issues in the contest this fall for the con-
trol of the next House of Representa-
tives. Yesterday being st. Patrick Day.
1t was considered opportunc to bring the
issue conspicuCusly to the front, and two
ringing speeches in behalf of the Beers
were delivered on the floor of the House.
The speakers were Representative Fos-
ter (Dem.. Ill.) and Representative Coch-
ran (Dem.. Mo-, both of whom, during
the general debate upon the river and
harbor bill, took occasion to denounce
the Administration, and the Republican
majority in Congress for its inaction upon
the various pro-Boer resolutions and for
alleged tacit support of the British in the
South African struggle.

A CORRECTION.

We regret that ON account of mistake
of ono of our compositors in setting up
the report of the campaign meeting at
Reeder's Ford for last weeks issue of
The Courier, the speech made by Mr.. j.
w. Bearden was credited to Mr.. w. NJ.
Brown, in addition to the report of Mr..
Browns speech. Our Mr.. j. w. Shelor
wrote report Of the meeting, and the
manuscript gives brief resume of the
speeches of all five of the candidates for
the House of Representatives. The re-
port of Mr.. Bearden's speech followed
Immediately that of Mr.. Brown, and by
mistake two of the first sentencies in
Mr.. Bearden's speech were omitted, viz
"Mr. j. w. Bearden spoke next. He
said this was his third race before the
people," Then followed tho report of
the remainder of his speech which by
reason of the above omission appeared
as the latter half of the speech of Mr..
Brown. We make this correction in
justice to all parties, and.especially to
Mr.. Bearden, at the same time expressing
our regret that it occurred. Mistakes
of this character will happen occasion
ally in the best regulated Offices, and
while they arc always annoying (more SO
to us, perhaps, than any one else), yet
we take pleasure in making proper COR
rcctions and amends.

the roads and bridges tell us that one
dollar and one mill are not sufficient TO
keep up our roads, but am not certain
this Is correct. The people of Anderson
say they can get along with one dollar
and one mill. This they have been
dong Tor many years and they have the
pest system OF roads OF any people in
che up-country, and feel that with
proper management we can do the same.
Mr. Bea~den suggests that we go back to
the old style of working roads with labor.
lived In the time when this manner of
Keeping up the public roads was in
vogue. had experience with it add do
not believe 1t wise TO return to that sys-
tenn. think with vim like that mani
tested in Anderson county, which was
begun under the advice of the late
iamented X. B. Murray, we will soon be
out of the woods. The roads of this
county should be put in good condition,
and it would take only few thousand
dollars to do it. We are q commercial
people, and. as such, it is important that
wo hovo good graded roads. Such roads
would soon fill our county with the very
best people. | remember when was q.
boy we had nearly no schools at all. The
school house whore was reared was SO
open that you could throw cat through
the cracks. 1t is better now, and we
may improve it, and probably will. We
shall, at least, endeavor. believe our
colleges are now economically conducted.
We spend nearly S!,O00,0o0 annually on
our common schools. They are better
than ever in the past. The dispensary
law is better than the old bar-room sys-
tenn; and it is here, and, in my opinion,
here to stay. We should make it the
very best that we can. We gave this
year 5000, 900 to the old soldiers. 1t is
not, however, enough for them to live
upon, but it is help. This help should
ever be continued. We have asked capt.
tai to come here and invest among us.
We are glad it came and we should pass
no law to the injury of our Industrial
enterprises which is not absolutely nee
essary for the public welfare. 1t is good
for US that capital has come. The labor
ers in the factories are our and our
neighbours children. They are better off
by far than when they first went there.
They have provided for them good
churches and schools, and are we'll
clothed and happy. 1 am unalterably
opposed to the plan of taking from the
heads of families, to whom God has
given children, the government of the
family and placing it in the hands of the
politicians. l voted against the bill to
that effect last winter and intend to do
so again if you send me back. 1t is a
measure introduced into our politics by
Northern emissaries for the purpose Of
leveling down our system on q plane
with that of the East. have no apology
to make for my vote to appropriate
$l2, 900 for the Improvement of the pub
lie buildings. Good public buildings are

has been raised for its improvement.

not recover.
Every physician in town was kept onI

deadly dose. So.
