"Ob, what a tangled web we weave, When fitst we practice to deccivel’’ — Forger Stubbs.' We are often asked, "where Is Condor?" It is the name of the post office at Holmes Cross Roads. Plenty of Blount tickets will be found at all the Precincts in Laurens county, printed by the Post. Dublin now has a regular chain-gang at work on the streets—one white man and one negro. The infant babe of Mr. John Bales of Wriglitsville died last Monday night of pneumonia. If you have patriotism enough to desire to see that $10,000 honestly expended come to the mass meeting next Tuesday. Laurens county polls on a pinch about 1500 votes. So it is seen that eight votes constitute a pretty heavy minority. Some honest men supported Stubbs’ res olution on the 22d Inst; but after this is sue of the Post, they'll wish they hadn’t. Ecce Homo 1 4 Behold the man ns shown up by affida vits in this issue of*the Post, into whose hands eight men t oted away $10,009 of the people’s money. The sin of omission is sometimes ns bad as the sin of commission. Bo don't omit to. come out on next Tuesday to the mass meeting and perform the duty of an honest citir.cn. Read what our Representative-has Jo say on the abolition of whiskey. Mr, Burch wants to get the views of Ills con stituents to the end that he may properly represent, them. He is right. It is a duty you’owo to your country, to orgnnixed Democracy, nud to a statesman who lias served you ably anil faithfully for six years, to go to tlie polls next Tuesday nud vote for Blount. Unless another great occasion like the present one demands it, the name of John Stubbs will never again defile these colums. But we thought it as well to give him a rattler while we had hold of him. Mr. Daniel Coombs suggested to us that we should invite the people living along the Oconee from the Rail Rond Bridge to the Altamnha from whatever county to come to the mass meeting oh next Tuesday. A good idea. Hope they will come. The writ of habeas corpus is still sus pended iu Laurens county. The Inst offort to release the Mrs. Perrys from jail result ed like all the others. They will probably remain in jail till April court, when the case, wo suppose, will be tried on its mer its. Honest men may in the future, like Mr. Wright, employ Stubbs to do their dirty work for them, but we don’t think after the exposure In this issue of the Post that any honest man will over nttempt to put him where he can reach the public money bags. Mr. E. J. Blackshenr (Ned) writes us from Neals Landing, Flo. that the “yellow disease" is raging at a fearful rate in that vicinity. Its victims arc generally those who have been reduced by chills. Recov er}' Is rare. Ned lias had a chill or two, but we hope bo is not sufficiently reduced to be subject to the fatal yellow disease. He don’t know when be will be ulijc to visit Lhurcna. On last Sunday morning Mr. Newton Johnson was endeavouring to punch a bog out of bis father’s mill house with tlie breech end of his loaded rifle when thcgtin went off and sent a bullet through his right side, coming out about four indies from whore it entered. Dr. Carter who was called in thinks it possible, but not probable, that the wound will prove fatal. , Moral: Dont shoot ducks on Sunday. Judge Jethro Arlino of Johnson county, saw Maj. James Hicks of the same county make Stublis take liaek a counterfeit $50. 00 bill of confederate money. The bill tea* bran new. lie passed c ounterfeltmoncyalso on parties in this county and Emanuel. Stubbs was in the employment of the Gov ernment and paying out Government mon ey. Is it likely that the Government sent him a package of counterfeit money? Attention is directed to the throe cards of three of Mncon’s mnmmouth house fur nishing emporiums. They arc all doing a tremendous business mid if you want any thing in tlicir line, you will find it at each and nil of these three houses, of the best quality and at bottom prices. Read tlie cards. Thomas Woods’ furniture store in Ma con is well known throughout this section as one of the largest and best furniture houses in the state. He keeps a heavy stock of the finest furniture and carpets constant ly on band and selliug at very reason able prices. Sec bis card iu this issue of the Post, and when you visit Macon call nt bis store. Wnxelbauin’s Dry Goods Empo riums—Wholesale and Retail. ' For Oriental magnificance, no es tablishment in the South equals the Retail Store of Waxelbamn in Ma con. As one saunters through the establishment and notes the felici tous arrangement, and happy display of ton thousand dazzling articles of ladies’ apparel, whoso names and uses can only he contained in a female memory, as he watches the regiment of clerks and hoys moving in the poetry of motion and to the music of the almighty dollar, and all with tlio precision of machinery, ho can hardly realize*that lie is in a South ern city. Tho Wholesale Emporium is equally as wonderful, of loss daz zling but more tremendous propor tions. The whole establishment throughout all the ramifications of its half dozen stories is arranged with tho most exact system and tho most exquisite taste. When you visit Ma con ho sure to ‘"do” Wuxelbauni’s two big houses. Country and village merchants should nob fail to call before purchasing elsewhere. 2t An Explanation. Wo cun best explain our relation with Stubbs during tho past six or seven years by reciting a conversation between ourself and Gen. Eli War ren during hist April Court, a man who is known all over tho State as one of the best and purest men in Georgia. It was just after wo had ventilated Stubbs a little about that wild land swindle. Ho said to us,_ “If Stubbs is as had as you say he is, are you not afraid poople will think you lmvcrbctm Uoop^. -> v ' jug very had company?” We replied, “General, when we canto to Dublin six yean ago, wc know hut little against Stubbs’s character. Wlmt we did know was susceptible of explana tion or palliation. Wo found that all tlio tnon with whom wo associa ted, some of tho best men in the couuty, looked upon Stubbs as an honest man. Ha acted honestly in all his dealings with us and with every one else so far ns we knew. In spito of our previous suspicions, wo naturally, under those circum stances, came to regard him as a gentleman. But as soon as we be gan to learn )ii3 truo character we began to luivo nothing to do with him except in a business way. Wo discussed his villianios freely with our friends, hut wo had no idea of driving him from tho patronage of our school simply because wc knew him to he a scoundrel, so long as we could retain him without compro mising our own self-respect; though for a longtime he has been known to its as such a recking, rotten stink of villiany, that it has been almost ini possible to onduro him about us without holding our noso. You, General, are rarely not afraid that any one will think yon guilty of keeping had company whilo employ ed, by a man whom you know to ho deserving of the gallows: von do your best for him as you would for the purest, and most innocent man alive. Ours is a simular case. If there is any difference, wc have the advan tage of you. For we hoped that Stubbs’s children lind enough of their mother's blood in them to mako no ble men and women, and we did our very best for them till Stubbs pil fered us, and then came the delugo.” “Well,” said Gen. Warren, I hadn’t thought of it in that light. You are right about it. Tho reason I spoke to you about it is, I heard some other parties making remarks about it. If you will come out in an explana tion of this * sort you will silence all such. “But,” ho added, “are you not afraid Stubbs will shoot you? That extra is tlio severest thing I over saw in print.” “No, General,” said we, “there is hut one danger that wc apprehend at the hand of Stubbs, and that is the danger that he will steal something from us.” THESE THREE FACTS. Stubbs offered to publish tho Grand Jury presentments freo last week rather thnu see them go to the Post. But tho Grand Jury in obo- dionco to what they knew to ho pub lic opinion, paid no attention to the proposition, hut rocommoiuled by a unanimous vote that they ho pub lished in tho people's paper, and paid us for tho same at rogular ad vertising rates. When wo first approached our officers aud asked them wliat they intended to do about the county advertising, they told us that that matter would have to he controlled by public opinion. Wo ropliod that wc asked no more, that wo would not have it unless wo thought it was tho will of the groat mass of pooplo for us to have it. What was tho result? Tho Comi ty advertising redo into tlio Post in its third issue on a perfect tidal wave of public opinion. When Judge Duncan brought us tho notico of change lie told us that Stubbs had a few days beforo told both him and tho Sheriff that they might keep 25 per cent of the adver tising fees, hut that neither of them made any reply to him. Judge Duncan then said that if wo could afford to do the Work for any less than tlio prosont rates he would bo f ind to have us reduce them for the onefit of the people; hut us for his taking any part of tlio foes ho did not consider it right to accept money for services not rendered—that the county paid him for all his work, and lie wanted no crooked money. He seemed to speak also for the Sheriff who was not present. Wo told him that tlio oxpenso of run ning a paper was very groat, and wo did not think the work could ho dono for any less than tho present fees. Ho acquiesced and the matter has never neon mentioned since. The Judge explained liow this corrupt and unjust practice of allowing offi cers to retain part of tho fees came about.- Before tho war, the busi ness was carried on on a credit, and the officers were allowed to keep 25 per cent, to pay them for collecting and to indemnify them for that which Was not collectable. After Stubbs swindled us so out rageously last. Spring in the Wild land business, ho scoured heaven and earth to get an editor for his paper. But lie could nowhere find a man who had a reputation to lose who would touch it, These three facts show in wluiff estimation the old knave is held by tho Public. Laurens County, Oct. 28tli, 1878. Ed. Post: I desire to say through your valua ble paper that I look forward to our mass mooting on tho 5th of Nov. next with great interest.
