were not cognizant Of them at tho
time, and therefore there was no
criticism; whatever Of good was ac-
complished, we were In no position to
commend.
Two years ago another set Of off1.
cia!s came into power, and conditions
were different. We could not con
denim, nor yet could we commend,
without laying ourselves open to
criticism as having either a motive
Of prejudice or Of fawning for favors
It is the desire for this absolute
freedom to say and do what we think
best, regardless Of who may be hit
or helped, that has kept us ALMOST
free from any political aniliation at
the present. In severing that little
political connection, which was re-
luctantly assumed, we take up ABB
SOLUTE freedom to criticise ad-
versely or favorahly as the case may
warrant, regardless Of friend or en-.
emy.
This Is the position, according to
our idea, that newspaper should
occupy, and it is The Courier's future
position.

COLUNII}IA'S LOSS.

Tho city Of Columbia--tho whole
State of South Carolina, we might
say-has sustained loss in the re-
tiremcnt of Jas. A. Hoyt from the
editorship Of the Columbia Record.
Mr.. Hoyt has SO thoroughly imbued
that paper with his inherent honesty
and integrity, his spirit Of fairness
and justice, as to make his retire
mcnt from its editorship fall as a
loss all but irreparablc to the paper.
1t was characteristic Of him to re-
linquish n post that was SO much a
part OF himself rather than sacrifice
a principle. What sacrifice of self
he made in leaving the paper he had
built on, such high plane few can
realize
But Mr.. Hoyt will not, we feel
sure, be lost to the State permanent
ly lie is sorely needed, and call
to larger and greater sphere will
come to him.

ENCOURAGE FOR THE BOYS

Richard Lewis, an Oconee boy, has
been awarded a prize Of SIS cash by
the management Of the South Allan
tic Corn Exposition, which was re.
Gently held in Columbia. This prize
was given to him for his exhibit Of
corn, which camo in competition
with the exhibits from the entire
State. Mr.. Lewis was also awarded
first prize in the Third Congressional
District for the best showing Of profit
on single acre OF corn.
DO the boys OF Oconee need en-
coura cement? II so, they certainly
have been getting it recently. The
records Of the Oconee local contests
have shown up remarkably we'll;
they are on 4 par with the very best
In South Carolina, and far in ad-
vance OF those in many other States.
The boys Of Oconec should be
brought to realize that they have the
best county in the best State in the
Union. Nature has placed at your
IlhHu every IHluS nctulul 10 make aS-
riculture a success. All that is nee
essary is for the men and boys of the
county to do their part, and do it
we'll.
The boys OF the corn clubs are to-
day showing the world what can be
done; they are showing us what
ought to have been done years ago:
the results Of their labors are sound
promises Of what is going to be done
in tho future.
What young Lewis has done others
can do; what young Tollison, Voll-
rath, the Stribling boys and others Of
the Oconee Boys Corn Club have
done, others can do. They are SIM
ply solving the knotty problems Of
agriculture, and the whole country
IS being placed under lasting obliga-
tions to them.
The work Of 1912 in the Boys
Corn Clubs Is going to be far in ad-
vance Of that Of 1911. The succeas ases
Of the year just past have given an
impetus that cannot be checked.

REV. J. Il. DENDY IS CALLED.
Alabama Presbytcrians Want New
Pastor from South Carolina.

The following notice, taken from
the Birmingham (Ala.) Daily News
Of December 25th, will be read with
great deal of interest by the peo-
pie Of Oconee. Rev. Mr.. Dendy, to

Oconee, and our people feel deep
and personal interest in him:
"Rev. j. Il. Dendy, Of Rock Hill,
S. c., has been rendered formal
call by the Woodlawn Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Dendy was in Wood
lawn two weeks ago, the guest OF
his friend, r. G. Sligh. During his
visit he preached to the congrega-
ton Of the Woodlawn church. Tho
pastorate was made vacant by Rev
W. j. Caldwell, several weeks ago.
He accepted a call at Yazoo City
Miss.
"It Is not known whether Mr..
Dendy will accept the call, as it is
understood that he has an excellent
charge at Rock Hill. However, the
committee was encouraged by the
remarks made by Mr.. Dendy to the
effect that he always went to the
charge where he thought the most
good could be accomplished"

Kill More than wild Beasts.

The number Of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the
vast number killed by disease germs.
No life Is safe from their attacks.
They're in air, water, dust, even food.
But grand protection Is afforded by
Electric Bitters, which destroy and
expel these deadly disease gecms
from the system. That's why chills
fever and ague, all malarial and
many blood diseases yield promptly
to this wonderful blood purifier. Try
them, and enjoy the glorious health
and now strength they'll give you.
Money back If not satisfied. Only Is

OUR FUTURE POLICY.

The town Of Walhalla is on the eve
of another election for local officials,
and so far as any consideration other
than the casting of ballots by indi-
VidUals connected Herewith Is con-
cerned, The Keowe Courier IS "hands
off Tho editor Of this paper will
cast his ballot for that one whom the
citizens Of the town-tho business
men, the property-owners and tax
payers = may designate as their
choice, and we advise every citizen
OF the town to do the same. We can
all get together if we want to, and
unity Is what Walhalla needs.
The Courier has no man and no
set or men to advocate. We are free
from any political obligation what
ever, and no one Is obligated to us.
And that Is just the condition that
we feel IS best for all concerned.
The election will be held next
Tuesday, and prior to that event we
wish to announce The Courier's fu
tnre policy Of local political freedom
Freedom to commend any worthy
official act Of a public official, be he
political friend or foe; freedom to
condemn wrong or folly, no matter
who the condemnation may affect.
For five years The Courier, by
force Of circumstances, has been de-
MED this privilege. For three years
the editor and the Mayor of the town
were ono and the same, and, what.
ever mistakes officially we made, we

from every section Of Oconee, but it
isn't. There are some who have al.

have got the right idea. How long
will it take the balance Of the farm
