WEW1ESUAY, lOV. 4, 1885 C B. S. DINKINS, Editor and Proprietor. 61RAND JURY PRESENTMENT. The Grand: Jury present cogent epsons for the abolishment of the Trial Justice system, and we hope our Delegation will consider carefully atpft of their, report. It is ap parnt b every observer that Trial < -s i Clarendon County, as a whole, are an ignominious failure. 3eoentevents have disclosed the fact that more than one of these oositions are occupied by men whose ignorance .an-only be compared to the contempt and ridicule measured to them and their Court These men are only nowu in the Courthouse by the County Commissioners and Treasurer, before whom they regularly appear - asbare of the County funds. Yet,' as ti.1arked by Judge Kershaw the mahinery for the pan jiment iand suppressifn of crime in South.

TO THE ErOR OF TE MNNING TIES: The Claiedon EAterprse of last week oc apied nearly all of its valuable editorial I oIxamn with a criticism upna the competi-I ive examnation recently he'd in Kingstree. have no objection to the Enterpris criti ism so far as its views only are given, for hese will never cause much stir on earth. hut when the Enterprise attempts to doal rith -facts" it must observe the ninth com aandnrent. The statements aztd eharges made by the ,nterprise in regard to the said examinatiun re quoted and oorrected as follows : (1) "Tne examination did not begin un il Friday afternoon." The er'amination was somewhat delayed a account of the illness of the Chairman of he examining board ; but Dr. J. S. Brock ngton, medical examiner, began the physi al examination about 10 o'clock, A. M.. and he applicants commenced the written ex mination before 12 M. (2) "Mr. Chandler alone conducted the iamination." Whe examination was conducted by Messrs. . J. Havne-sworth and E. G. Chandler. the 6rmer.acting by request in plice of Prof. llen, the Chairman of the board, who was 11. (3) "Undue partiality was shown in favor >f one of the applicants, in one instance go ng so far as to suggest the re-writing of a art-of the examination paper." What the classic Entcrprise means by "un lue partiality" I shall not attempt to di rine ; but the charge that partiality was ;hown either contestant is false. I suggest d to the young men, when about to begin heir work, that they write their answers Irst on scrap-paper and afterwards copy hem on the papers to be submitted us. No usistance was given either youth in answer ing the questions placed before him. At he request of one of the.o, I explained the meaning of a certain question. Mr. Haynes orth was then present. No ther of the ipplicants was alone with nie during the xamination, and each heard what I had to say to the other. (4) "The examination papers were exam ined by the board separately, and a different result 'was reached by the two examiners-" The result as aertained by each exam iner was the same, superiority being by ,ach accorded the same set of papers. I made a cursory examination of the papeyI immediately upon receiving them, and while mbject to interruptions by .pershns coming into the office where I was engaged 'in the prosecution of my duties, I then enclosed the papers to Prof. Allen, with anote stating my tindings. That evening I went by request to Prof. Allen's, for the purpose of a joint xamination of the papers and a decision as toi 'r relative merits. Prof. AUert said he thougat I had rated both applicants a little too high. We then went into a carefui and complete examination of the papers, which resulted in a lower grading of each, but with about the same proportionate diffi'rence between them as had been determined by my first examination. These last ascertain ed gradings were sent the Citadel authori ties. (5) "Near the close of . t. examination when one of the candidates acknowledged his inability to answer a certain question correctly, while the other asked for a longer time in which to answer the question, Mr. Chandler peremptorly closed the examina tion, on the ground that it would-be giving the latter appliant an advantage over the former not to close the examination then." The examination was closed after having given the applicants more than ten hours in which to answe: the questions. The adjournment over night I regretted, but it oould not be avoided. Arithmetic had been disposed of the first day, and both appli cants had failed to do one example given the extraction of the cube root of a common fraction. Had either done this example ext morning, he would.not have been cred ited with it, as access meantime might have been had to textbooks, or assistance other wise obtained. Some time before closing i stated to the contestants that I could allow them to work only a sihort time longer. When that elapsed I must close. Both fin ished within the time, and just did finish, one a little before the other. One asked if there was ti:Dme to ty the example above re ferred to again. OfecourselIdid not allow, bim to do so. Each appeared fully satis-' Bed with his treatment at my hand. SMr.Nettles must allow me to question the motives for his attack. I .am ::redibly in formed that he predicted the success of one pplicant before trial. He exhibited preju dice in-favor of that applicant, who received instruction in Mr. Nettles's academy. He has published reflections upon one unknown to him, azid these are based uponx evidence; from one side: only. A "born examiner" should look better" o-i foundation for itatements. He has evidently not sought the truth in this matter of the comnpatitive examination. Errors may have been comn utted in the examination, but some things ire more'eulyable than errors. B. G.
