After Dispatching Much Business.

The Court of General Sessions for
Oconee came to close Friday after

had been disposed of in one way or

most favorable impression on the
entire court, officials and Interested
parties, dispatching business with
great deal Of ability, yet sighting no
detail Of the important work.
In recording the proceedings Of
fthe early stages of tho courts work
an error crept into our report Of true
bills rendered by the grand jury, IN
the case Of the State VS.. Jesse Kill
patrick, Boyce CAN'T and Charlie Pal
mer. who were charged with viola
ton Of the prohibition laws. tho jury
returned it's finding as "True bill as
to Boyce CAN'T, no bill as to Kilpat-
rick and Palmer" Our report car
ried the finding Of the grand jury
under the general head Of "True
Bills" we having failed to note the
mo Bill' return as to Fitzpatrick
and Palmer. We are in receipt Of the
following note from Chas B Palmer
in reference to the correction. which
we are glad to make both-as to him
