THE CRY ON srAE conGaaEe.


Columbia, January II. Editors Keo-
wee Cousier: These are lively times at
the Capital now among the :iaw-ma
lintermingled with an army of candidates
for different positions. Tuesday next
has been fixcd TO commence the elections.
viii ietyo know later who are elected
TO MI all.the places.
We have just ended hot fight over q
bill to allow tho people to vote on the
matterc of dispensary or no dispensary.
I voted Tor the bill, but it failed to pass
the Hcuse. The dispensary has many
strong friends IN the House.
just at this time the fight is OH tho
bill to give TO the common schools OF the
State $500, 900, which is being strongly
opposed. 1 do not think IL wise to ap-
|propriate very much money at this time
when the condition of our people is CON
sidered.
think, judging from present indica-
tions, the soldiers' home bill will fail to
pass, and / hope 1t viii, so that the pen
sion appropriation can be increased and
allow the old soldiers to remain whore it
suits them to stay and use the money
they have need of. 1t seems to mo that
it would be unfair to send old veterans
off from their homes and friends and
put them in the proposed home, to feel
that they were stamped as paupers. AT
any rate, 1 intend to stand by the vete-
rams of the State and get all the money
for them that the State can afford to ap-
propriate.
The county government and jury laws
have not come up yet. You,will hear
from us when these matters are reached.
Very little that would interest your
readers is being done. We will not get
down to regular work until the elections
are all disposedtof
The weather is fine here to-day--a lit
tle cool.
With best wishes for The Courier and
the people of oconee, remain, very

Industrial Agent Of the Southern Railway.

b. j. Hillidge, of the Land and Indus
trial Department. of the Southern Rail
way, Washington, d. c., is in Walhalla
to-day. This department of the railway
work is organized for the purpose of aid
ing in building up the territory adjacent
to the road. 1t makes n careful study
of the resources of the country and the
various openings for settlers and indus
tries, and through extensive and judi
cious advertising, places this informa-
tion before people in the North and
West, Canada and Europe, thereby at
tracing capital and immigration to the
undeveloped sections along the lines of
the Southern Railway.
During the past summer an attractive
exhibit of the Southern products was
made at the Pan American Exposition
at Buffalo, and also at Cincinnati and
st. Louis last fall. An exhibit was made
at Paris in 1900 and one is now being
made at Charleston. A very wide assort-
ment of interesting literature concerning
the South is distributed at these exhibits
in addition to the great quantities con-
tinually circulated in all parts of the
country.
Mr.. Hillidge paid us an appreciated
call this morning. He is very much
interested in the development of the
Piedmont section.

ANOTHER FIRE IN wALHALrA,
Alfred |. BaIlew. Confined In the Guard Houss.
Loses Life--Iown not Held Responsible.

On Monday night last the guard house
in Walhalla was burned. About Ave
o'clock In the afternoon Alfred L. Bel
lew, white, Was arrested by Marshal j..
A. Keaton on the charge of disorderly
conduct, aud In default of bond, he was
confined in cell in the northwest corner
of the bailding. The marshal returned
about seven O'clock and gave Bellew his
supper. About ten O'Clock the alarm of
fire was given, and when parties first got
there, the fire had gained such headway
that it was impossible to open the cell
door. 1t seemed that the fire originated
in the cell ia which he was confined.
An inquest was held over the dead body
Tuesday afternoon by Coroner w. T..
Harbin and jury, with M. Nicholson as
foreman. The testimony of several wit
nesses was taken, and the verdict was
that Alfred l.. Bellew came to his death
from the effects of burns by fire which
originated in the cell in which he was
confined. NoSlame ATTACHED to any one.
The deceased had been q resident of
Walhalla only few days, having moved
here with his family from Westminster.
He was apparently about sixty years old.
His oharred remains were buried Tues
day afternoon. He leaves wife and
several children to mourn his untimely
death. The sad misfortune is very much
deplored, but no censure attaches to any
one. 1t is thought probable that de-
ceased bad struck match and started a
fire in the cell with view to getting
out. He was very much under the influ-
ence of liquor when committed. Being
in this condition he would nos consider
the consequences as a prudent man, and
in this way brought about the deplora-
BILE accident.
AT one time during the fire it looked
as If the Lutheran church was doomed.
A stiff northeast wind was blowing and
this drove the flames and smoke directly
toward the church. The roof caught
fire twice, but water was thrown on the
blaze just in time to put it out and save
the building. Thus the little hand
engine paid for itself again. But it be-
comes moro and more apparent that
Walhalla stands sorely in need Of ade-
quate facilities for fighting fire.
The hook and ladder equipment was
destroyed by the fire. Total loss, about
$500. No insurance

The New "City Fathers"

The nominating convention last Friday
was not largely attended and dispatched
it's business in short order. Mr.. j. w.
Shelor was made chairman, stated the
object of the meeting, and nominations
were called for. Mr.. j. E. Crosby nomi.
mated MI. j. M. Ward for Mayor. There
were no other nominations, and Mr..
Ward was unanimously chosen as the
nominee. The following were then
nominated for Aldermen: Mr.. j. e.
Crosby, by Mr.. G. w. Pitchford; Mr.. G.
K. Gaillard, by Mr.. w. L. Werner; Mr..
H. c. Busch, by Mr.. j. NJ. Ward; Mr..
w. L. Werner, by Mr.. S. N. Pitchford
Mr.. Jas. Seaborn. by Mr.. j. e. Crosby
Mr.. G. W. Pitchford, by Mr.. II. g.
Busch. A motion to close the nomina-
tions was carried and the six gentlemen
named were chosen as the nominees. Mr..
J. NJ. Ward nominated Mr.. G. l.. Reid to
fill the vacancy on the board of health,
and he was unanimously chosen.
The election Monday was quiet and
only a small vote was polled. There
was no opposition to the nominees and
the vote was solid for the ticket
There are two changes in the body of
City Fathers-one in the name and one
in the personnel. We will in the future
have board of Aldermen instead of
Wardens, and Mr. James Seaborn takes
a seat in The council in the place of Mr..
j. M. Baldwin, who expects to be absent
from Walhalla for some months in the
near future.
The town has Jared we'll at the hands
of the officials during the past year, and
there will be no retrograde movement
during their second term.
