The trial of Stiles Mooro, charged with rape, was begun last Thursday, went to tho jury Friday aftoruoou, and a verdlot wan rendered at 7 .'IO Saturday morning. Thc indictment charged (1) rape, (2) criminal assault, (:t) simple assault, (4) violating a female child under age of fourteen. The jury found Mooro guilty on the fourth count of tho indictment, returning a verdiot of guilty with recom mendation to meroy. This recommenda tion saved Moore's nook, a straight verdict of guilty calling for capital pun ishment. Judge Trinco passed soutence about 10 o'clock Saturday morning, giving Mooro fourteen years in the State Penitentiary at hard labor, this hoing the maximum punishment under recom mendation to mercy. This trial in detail was one of tho most harrowing that bas boen before the Courts of Oconeo. Sallie Tilley, tho victim, is an orphan child, now leas than sixteen yoai.. of ago and tho mother of an infant born last April. S ho was adopted by the Moores somo years ago, and was in their caro up to a few months ago, when she was sent to relatives in Abbevillo couuty, whore tho child was born. Tho Moores claimed whoo she was sent away that she was sick and suf fering from dropsy. After tho birth of tho child, hovovor, Sallie Tilley told of ber treatment at! Moore's hand, and this led to a thorough investigation by load ing citizens of Wost Union, where tho Moores lived. Thou followed tho arrest of Stiles Mero about a month ago when sufficient evidence had been secured to convict. Ho was arraigned itt prelimi nary trial before Magistrate A. V. Crisp, Who sent tho casu up for trial in tho Court of (louerai Sessions. In the faco of direot testimony by Goorgo Mooro, an UDOlO of Stiles Moore, that ho had caught1 tho latter in criminal intorcouso with tho child, Moote maintained his innoCODCO to tho last. Just aa tho case was turned ovor to tho jury and as tho jurors retired fruin tho court room, Moore requested that some one pray for him. No case has elicited moro interest than this. To tho untiring eliot ts of Kev. C. I). Maun and Jas. <.. Shockley, of Wost Union, is duo tho thanks of tho corn mu nity for their work in tho interest of hu inanity and decency. Since tho birth of thc child hy a more child-mot .they, with others, have spared no ' ir to as certain thu facts, fasten the g.. vbere it bclouged and punish tho criminal. Moore was takon to tho penitentiary Saturday afternoon to hogin his term of fourteen years' imprisonment. Alto gather it was a case too horriblo to n.oio . than cassually mention in public print, and it is to bu hoped that Oconeo will ho i spared a repitition of such a crime in tho ' future. _ HERE, THERE AND YONDER.

This is a good time to olean up your premises. We hear frequent complaints about certain portions of town, prinei pally Main Btreet property. Look after your premises. There are some places ready now for attentiou by tho Hoard of Health. We call attention to the statements of tho five banks of Ocouee. They aro shown to bo in excellont condition and each is doing \ good business. The sav ings departments of these institutions should be better patronized. We sug gost to our youug men, of both town and country, that they start accounts with the bank most convenient to them. It will savo many a dollar that would other wise bo usolossly spout. Try it. V. Tho petitions asking the County Super visor to order a special election on the dispensary question were started on their rounds over the county yesterday. We learn this morning that about nine out of ten of tho voters so far approached are favorable to haviug the question set tled by a direct vote of the people, and petitions are said to be receiving the sig natures of about 00 per cent of the regis tered voters. The work is being dono systematically, the promoters having copied tho registration books for their guidance. It is well to have the matter definitely settled by the voico of the peo ple by ballot, and it is gonerally believed that Oconee will vote out the dispensary by a heavy majority. The oxact date on which the Supervisor will be asked to order tho election has not, so far as we havo loamed, beon docided upon. One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars Earned. The avorage man does not save to ox coed ten por cout of his earnings. He must upend nino dollars in living ex penses for every dollar saved. That be ing the caso ho cannot bo too careful about unnecessary expenses. Veryofton a fow conts properly invested, like buy iug seeds for his garden, will save seve ral dollars outlay later on. It is the same iu buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often savos a doctor's bill of seve ral dollars. For salo by J.

The end came suddenly and unexpectedly. The secretary passed a comfortable day and when Dr. Scudder called ho found tho patient much improved, all symptoms boing favorable. His condition was so satisfactory that at 10 o'clock the doctor and tho o-ttire household retired for the night with tho exception of the nurse, who remained in the sick chamber. At 11 o'clock tho nurse looked at tho patient and ho was resting quietly. At midnight sho noticed a serious chango for tho worse, and in a few minutes ho waa dead, Secretary Hay, born in has spent nearly all thc years since his majority in tho service of his country.
