NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIX.

With this issue The Courier closes the
covers of another volume, and with the
coming week we will start on our work
for the 56th volume of one of the oldest,
and, according to the verdict of our
friends and patrons, the best of the
weekly papers in the State. We close
this years work with a feeliug of salts
faction-uot that we have attained the
highest round of the ladder that leads to
the star chamber of newspaperdom, but
because we have done our best and our
efforts have beon appreciated. From
every quarter our friends gratuitously
announce their satisfaction with The
Courier and commend the paper as the
best weekly in the South. We appreci-
ate this, and it is stimulus to try for a
greater usefulness in our present terri
tory, and for constant efforts to extend
our borders. During the year just clos
ing The Courier has been literally
patronized by its advertising patrons
and subscribers. We appreciate it, and
we feel that we merit it. The Courier
is the only complete home-printed paper
in the county, and we propose to con-
tinue this policy of employing home
6alcnt in issuing the paper. Every page
of The Courier during the year is printed
in our own Office, and the range of news
matter, local and general, is wider and
better than it has ever been. Notwitb-
standing this we propose to make bet
ter paper during 1906 than we have dur
ling 1905. We have one more year of ex-
lperience to guide u.s. and we feel that we
soan profit thereby.
We hope to see this section of the State
make rapid strides upward and forward
Certainly we have section blessed by
natural advantages far beyond other sec.
tions. What we want now is greater in
dividual effort and cementing of inte-
rests and unity of purpose. If we will
each work steadily for our county and
the Piedmont section of South Carolina,
this coming year of grace will give to us
a forward move of which we can we'll be
proud, and which, at it's close, will not
only be pleasure, but a surprise to the
most hopeful. Let us strive continuously
to build up this great section intelligently,
uioidiiys luuuStTlally anu nnanClally.
There is room for vast Improvement in
all these lines, and wo have but to set
yourselves to the task with real determi-
nation to accomplish the desired result
Let each man set his shoulder squarely
TO the wheel and do his full duty, and
Ehings will move.
In closing this years work we wish to
shank our friends and patrons for their
liberal support. We feel that we shall
merit even greater favor during the
coming twelve months. We are hoping
and working to make 1905 better, more
prosperous and more useful year than
any of the 55 preceding years of The
Courier's existence. To each and every
one of our friends and patrons we ex-
tend our thanks for the past years
favors, and we hope the coming year
may be one of progress, prosperity and
happiness for each and every citizen and
FOR this section as a whole.

Canal Development In Europe.

With the progress of the times The
capacity Of the railways in solving the
question of freight traffic is seen to be
limited, and attention is again turned
TO canals as factor in transportation.
Recountlng what has been done in
canal development in European coun-
tries during the present industrial era,
the London Standard says:
The digging of the great canal across
the isthmus of Suez, a colossal feat Of
engineering in those days, aroused the
world and set mems minds thinking that
perhaps, after all. the day of canals had
not passed away. The new - of affairs
ON the continent brought about by the
Franco-Prussian war proved in a curious
way to be an important factor in pro-
noting the use and development of the
canal system. On the one hand, France.
seemingly crushed by devastating war
and the burden of a huge indemnity, set
to work to improve the Industrial condi-
ton of the people To this end a COM
mission was appointed to inquire into the
railways and other means of communica-
ton 1t followed naturally that IL found
the canal system of the country neglected
and falling into disuse, and at once money
was voted for its improvement.
On the other hand, the statesmen or
Germany, recognizing that the true great
ness and supremacy of nation come not
alone from war and conquest, turned
their energies to facilitating the CONNER
cial growth of their empire. Before 1870
canals languished. but by 1875 public opin-
ion was sufficiently educated to under
stand the necessity for a development of
the inland waterways. This feeling was
stimulated by the dissatisfaction with the
high rates of the state railways, and
traders began to avail themselves of the
low freights on the then existing water
ways During the ten years, 1S9O-99
sum of G14 $50, 800 was expended on inland
waterways mainly on the canalization Of
rivers.
The Standard points out that the
same active policy is being pursued
throughout Europe to develop the use
of waterways and canals. While the
total tonnage using the canals has been
doubled and in some countries trebled
in the past decade, the increase has not
been gained at the expense of compel
ing railways. BY natural process OF
adjustment the railways carry the
lighter and more valuable materials.
which must be conveyed rapidly, while
canals carry goods of less weight and
value and for which quick transit is
not essential.

War and Literature.

Whatever tends to stir the magma
ton and enthusiasm of people very
deeply awakens all their powers TO
fresher vigor As literature Is the record
of the thought wherein man surveys his
own actions and the things related to
them, the result of war is quite sure to
stimulate what may be called this eff
forescencs of national life. The influ-
ence may not be perceptible in war
times themselves. The Intense interest
IN the actual at such a period rather
finds its outlet nowadays in the news
paper and the magazine than in book
making and book reading. But after
the war is over and thought subsidies
from its effervescent to the reminiS-
cent mood then the effect is apt to
show its strength. The lover VINO
brow is not at that moment the victim
of grand passion in all its fury, but
he must have felt something like it
previously. Petrarch could not have
written his exquisite poems If he had
been actually signing at the feet of
Laura.
There was a magnificent outburst of
literature In England during the Napo-
leonic wars, it is true, but there were
influences at work besides the current
war spirit to produce the result. 1t
was rather the fruit of the French rev.
olution which preceded Napoleon's rise.
SO in the magnificent Elizabethan pc
Rod. when England was fighting life
and death struggle with Spain, then at
the apex of its power, the chief ferti-
lizing force was the vision of a newly
discovered world, with all its boundless
possibilities, which intoxicated the
Imagination as men specialized on its
marvels. During our civil war, which
shook the country to the roots, there
was but little done i'll literature. But
the fertilizing effect was very evident
after the war ended and the period
since has been one of brilliant literary
activity.
1t would be easy to multiply proofs
that the stimulus to literature from
war takes its active form after the in
tense excitement has subsidized alike for
the people who make books and those
who read books. Then human energy
finds in it's reminiscent and reflective
attitude a greatly enriched field in
which to work. 1t is natural to expect
an outburst of literary vigor in the far
east. The race which produced Turge-
neff and is represented today by Tol-
stoi and Gorky will express in books it's
new resentments and new aspirations.
And the japanese will not feel that
they have conquered place in the
western world until they produce ma
tional literature to be read of all man.
kind.
