A Word with Our Subscribers.
On the 20th day of Juno the
Post will complete Volume I, and
several hundred subscriptions will

will renew by that time and pay for
another year. Shortly afterward wc
shall revise our subscription-book ;
hence it is desirable that all should
mako arrangements as early as possi
ble. 2t

.. The assault made on Judge Dun
can by the enemjes of law and order
makes him the candidate of all the
law abiding citizens of the county.
For all good men now sec that his
re-election is necessary to vindicate
the honor of Laurens county. This
we hear on overy hand; and long bo-
fore the election comos off it will be
plain that whoovei is brought out
against him will bo the candidate of
disorder, anarchy and violence. So
the ringsters have made one of the
biggest blunders of their lives.
Last Notice,

The Atlanta Constitution which
has recently spent so many big
charges of ammunition against the
little hip-pocket, now has an oppor
tunity of firing at nobler game in
vindicating the supremacy of the law

Treasurer of Johnson county, was iu

Dublin, June 4 1879.
2t C. S. Guyton.
.Mr, I. T. Keen, postmaster at this
place, desires us to say that lie has
experienced so much trouble in send
ing out mail without a proper order
that in the future he will be compell
ed to obey the orders of the Depart
ment strictly, and require an order in
every case whore the mail is sent for.
That Petition.
We learn that a petition was being
circulated in Johnson county lust
week praying the Governor to have
the Mrs. Perrys released. Now this
looks like a civilized method of pro
coed lire.' And if there had been em
bodied in the jietction a request to
send to jail those who had made tools
of the prisoners, wo would gladly
have signed the petition ourself, and
so would a great many others.
But whether the petition would
have done any good or not, there was
nothing wrong in the effort, and it
would be well if the friends of the
women had refused to allow these
Dublin agitators to decoy them into u
defiance of law and order.
Wc learn just before going to'pross
that there is a report abroad lo the
effect that Airs. Chandler has receiv
ed a letter from Gov. Colquitt stat
ing that if two-thirds of the citizens
of the county would sign a petition
asking the release of the Mrs. Perrys
tfpm jail, he would set them at lib
erty. Mr. G. T. Kellatn, we also
hear, is paid $5.00 a day to circulate
the petition. How much truth there
is in these reports we can’t say, But
it doesn’t matter what Gov. Colquitt
thinks or says about releasing the
prisoners by an exercise of the rights
vested in the Chief Executive of the
State, he can’t dodge his duty in do
ing all he can to put the heads of
these conspirators against law and
order in the chaingang.
That Cheap Postage.
We offered a chromo last issue for
a solution of the question as to how a
certain written communication
reached us through the U. S. mail
from Johnson county, costing only
the half of one cent postage. Wc
have hud no correct solution, but we
have got something else, viz., in
quiries from both the Postmaster’s in
Dublin and in Wrightsville, concern
ing the affair, and informath n to the
effect that the writer and the Post
master who received the communica
tion had each laid themselves liable
to a fine of $50.0(1. Well ! We
think the solution will make these
postmasters feel cheap. Wo said wo
had received one communication;
but did not say, as we nrglifc have
said, that we received two communi
cations costing the half of one cent
each. They were both written on
one postal card. The following arc
the communications:
“Ain. R. L. Hicks :—Please send
me your paper one year, and I will
send you the money in two or three
months. G. W. II

Wc would like to accommodate
these gentlemen, hut we can’t afford
to send out tlio Post without the
money in advance. We have to pay
as wo go, and the credit business
would soon ruin us. Alen who are
so economical, however, as these two
have shown themselves to be, will no
doubt soon be able to send us ovor
$1.50, when we will take great pleas
ure iu sending them the paper. •
