The proposed bonus of ten dollars per ounce on gold is ev- ldently waking up some of our old time prospectors in this vii clnlty. judging by the many prospectOrs outfits which have been supplied by local merchants this week.
 The principal consignment of freight is being put up for a party of four, who leave early next week for the Bremner Riv CT country. This section has long been considered attractive to the prospecUor, many have gone there for just one season and been able to come out in the Fall With a good poke the re- suit of 'sniping" without going to the expense of machinery.
 1t takes grit and dollars to make this trips and tho these may not have all the dollars they need, but they have an abundance of grit to make the trip success and it is to be hoped they strike d fortune.

lie IS AN OCONEE MAN.

A recent issue Of the Pensacola,
Fla, Journal carried Us its leading
editorial some yer complimentary
remarks concerning the editorial
page Of the Tampa Tribune. These
rem" rks will be Of interest to not Il
few Courier readers, from the fact
that the editorial writer of the Trib-
unc is Il former Oconecan-JOhn l..
McWhorter. who Is pleasantly re-
mcmbcrcd wherever he was known.
We reproduce here the Journals re-
marks about o III john:
y "The Tampa Tribune,
perhaps the most widely read Of any
of the South Florida newspapers,

WORTH READING TWICE.

In last weeks Courier we printed
an editorial under tho heading. Dol
shevism in Our Midst and we have
had some very favorable comment on
this article, and numbers have ex-
pressed regret that Something was
the matter with it; thai i didn't read
right Something WAS the matter
with 1t, and it certainly did not read
right. In the original proof Of the
article 4 slight typographical error
appeared, was marked. and in trying
to correct this small error a whole
paragraphs sense was destroyed BY
careless correcting-leaving in the
line with the error and substituting
tho correction line in lieu Of a line
about a half inch below where the
error occurred. We do not wish to
be misunderstood in what we have
to say, and we do like to have arti-
cles appear in readable form; hence
we reprint the editorial. with the
original line in its proper place,
thus making sense. We have by no
means changed Il views in the mat
Ger, and it may be possible that CIV
ing opportunity for what we said to
soak in will be Of advantage to
some. Hence the reproduction Of the
editorial below:

SOME FINE MOUNTAIN CORN,
a Comparison in Prices Now and
Forty Years Ago.

Rev. c. b. Henry, Of the Double
Springs section, was in Walhalla for
a short while last Friday. He had
been down to BUY a few articles that
he cant raise on his farm and to
SELL a few bushels Of extra good
white corn that he had raised. He
handed Us one ear of his corn for
inspection, and it is certainly Il most
admiItble ear, showing decided
merit as a milling corn as we'll as
ideal for general feeding and for
long keeping. The ear that we have
measures exectly eleven inches in
length and weighs one pound to the
fullest fraction of the sixteenth.
In speaking Of his crop Mr.. Henry
stated that he was thinking as he
drove along about the past and the
present. Forty years ago. he said,

BOLSIIEVISM IN OUR MIDST.

BY the above headline we do not
mean TO convey the idea that our
government Is about to be over
thrown and a reign Of anarchy to
begin. That, as we understand it, Is
only one form Of b;olshevism. There
are numerous ways in which the
malady attacks the body polite, but
through every one Of them we find
II common underlying principle.
and that is a DISREGARD FOR THE
RIGHTS or OTHERS. 1t is to some
few Of these things that We would
address ourselves. Some one may
ask why We take it upon ourselves
10 make these remarks, and we re-
ply with the words Of that admira-
bic lecturer. Mr.. Bennett. "Becausc
they ought to be made :" and we will
add--AND iIEEDED.
For the last several months il has
hccn apparent that the young boys
Of our town have entirely lost sight
of The rights OF others. and have
added nothing to their own posses
Si0nS by he noise and commot;on
which they persist in making at our
pubic gatherings. We have heard
some OF our citizens say that they
cid not care to 60 to our entertain
mcnts for the reason that you cant
hear anything for the noise Of these
uncOnscionablc hoodlums. 1t is the
right and privilege OF every citizen
10 80 and to hear. and shall the I'M
snly youngsters rob him Of that
right? Monday night at the chautau-
sua concert was no exception. One Of
the most beautiful parts OF the pro-
gram was absolutely demolished by
she wild Indian yelps Of the boys in
the audience, and tho immense as
semblage were robbed Of Il part OF
that for witch they had paid their
good mOney-and the boys gained
not one whit. Is this a form Of boil
shevism? We think so. Can this be
stopped? We think so.
You may say the above Is far
fetched. But how about the cutting

corn at 10 cents. This year | sold my
pea crop at $5.25 a bushel and my
corn at $500"
Mr.. Henry made about 1926 or 100
bushels Of this fine corn, which, he
says, was grown on ordinary land
with no special preparation. Fe has
not been to town yet to buy corn,
and while he doesn't boast of any
immense crop, he said that he has
sufficient to do him-and a little yet
for sale.
The corn that he plants is known
as the Carolina Pride or Mountain
Queen. He has been using this corn
for quite a while and finds 1t entirely
satisfactory.
