MIR. HOLLEAIAN PARDONED.

There was no little interest in
Walhalla last Friday when the an
nouncement came Of the pardon by
Governor Manning Of j. Townes Hol-
leman, formerly OF Walhalla, but
who was a resident Of Anderson at
the time OF his trouble, from the con-
sequences of which he fed the State.
We do not, as a rule, believe in par
dons, but it seems to us that the ends
OF justice have been served In this
instance. The self-imposed exile,
with all it's trials, that MIR. Holleman
underwent for nearly eight long
years-his sickness, his despair, with
bereavements at home one after ano-
ther. and his final return to meet
what the law might impose, could but
add to the constant punishment that
came daily, hourly, every moment Of
time, to the mind and heart Of man
OF the native refinement and high
principle OF j. Townes Holleman. We
rejoice with him that the weight of
the load he could not himself throw
OFF has been lifted from his heart by
the hand Of Governor Manning.
We congratulate Mr.. IIOlleman:
we thank Governor Manning And
in so doing we believe that we speak
the sentiments OF a majority OF the
citizens Of Oconee, who know we'll

liberty and freedom from the Chief
