The absence of G4A. Bli Warren was
remarked hist; week. Only twice we be
lieve during the present generation has ho
fulled to attend Laurens Superior Court.
The reason this time was doubtless the

Important to East Oconee
Subscribers.
By some mismanagement the mail route
from Dublin to Red Bluff has gone ihtb
operation, while there j? no established
Post#»fficc at Condor. This evil will soon
be corrected, but in the mean time we hope
all our subsclbers who expect to get their
mail at Condor will notify us. We intend
to send a Condor package by the mail car
rier outside the mail pouch until the office
is established, which will answer very well
for a while. Wc will get out copies
of the Post sufficient on Tuesday morning
to accommodate our subscribers along the
East side of the Oconee, and send them by
the Red Bluff mail. We intend also to
send a John Woodard package and a
Beachum package. Parties concerned will
please note the above and govern them
selves accordingly. They will thus secure
Ihc-PoBT damp from the press.

for the third time, and though the
water was very deep, sncccoded. in
bolding himself, ns well as tlio child,
abpvo it until ropes wore lowcrod to
him, by which he was safely drawn
out. Tlio child is lcss* than three

boy’s heroism anti presence of mind
in liis successful efforts to save the

Five criminal cases were tried Inst week.
Daniel B. Fisher was tried for murder and
cleared; Harrulson was sent to elmlngang ,, , „
five years for horse stealing; Henry Jenk- 111 0 £ ilS

months in chain gang for stealing a pair of
pants; Byrd Hester who has made the tour
of afi the jails In the lower portion of the
State was lined $00 and costs or five
months in the chain gang for disturbing
public worship.
Another effort was made to release from
jail the Mrs. Perrys on a writ of habeas
corpus. Tlie case was argued, but Judge
Pate has not yet rendered hjs decision.
A true-bill was found against Andrew
Moye who was charged with killing Ches
ter at Colley’s last summer. Judge Pale
could not try the case, Moye being a rela
tive of his, nnd an effort.was made to get
Judge Johnson hero to try it, and, that
failing, Judge ,Thompkins was scut for,'

The above qrc the cases of more general
Interest disposed of during tlio. week.
Several minor civil cases were hoarej... On

Gabriel blows Ills trumpet, unless the
powers that he so arrange the Courts that

something else is done to hasten business

Tho practical results of Edison^
new discoyory in electric light will
soon bo introduced to tho public.
Thoso who have soon it report that
the light is much brighter and at
tho same time softer than gas, while
its cost is not to bo one third that of
coal gas; with a prospect that with
the .parly introducion of improved
means of generating electricity the
expense can be still further roducod.
Tho light gives out no heat and its
amount can lie regulated us easily as
Begging For Money.

placed at their disposal, but they all
seemed to think that money would
go much farther than documents.
They Svorc compelled to go away dis

well close its doors now, and not
wait imtil tho final overwhelming
defeat in November.”

Indiana has gone democratic, and
Hendricks comes to tho front as the

who act with him. Make way for
Hendricks for president and Sanford

Tho Beaufort (S. C.) Trihum of

New York to one of oul’ citizens
says: ‘Who do yon suppose camp to
