The Easley correspondent OF the Char.
lesion World, under date of the 18th inst,
says: 1.-THE moving of the court house to
this place seems to be rather quiet-"It is
not dead but sleepeth.'' The people
throughout the country are now beginning
to realize the fact that it must come to the
railroad, and that Easley is the place. 1t
is understood the necessary steps will be
taken when the legislature meets to cut off
Brushy Creek Township, in Anderson
County, and join it on to Pickens; if that
be the case, Easley will then be in the
center of the county, and the court house
will be brought here without any trouble"
Henry Crawford, 12year- negro
boy, who lives few miles east of the
city, seems to be most unfortunate
being. A short time ago he met with an
accident which resulted in breaking two
of his ribs. When he had about recovered
from this accident, he met with another
and broke his left leg in tW places. This
accident kept him in bed for several
weeks, but he had recovered sufficiently
to 60 out and do little work around the
stables and house, and last Monday
morning while in the stable feeding the
horses, one of them kicked him, knocking
him several yards and breaking his right
thigh bone. He is bearing his misfor.
tune with much patience, and his attend
ing physician, DR.. E. g. Frierson, thinks
he will soon be able to go to work again.
