A LONG ARRAY OF FACTS i FOR READING. Recommendations Made in Feb- > ruary Said to Have Been Ignored. The grand jury beg leave to subi mit the following report of 'heifi ; proceedings during their sitting ! at this term. We have acted upon all the bills presented for our consideration returning thej same to the court with 4,true bills" \ or *4no bills" as in our best judg- ( menl we felt warranted in doing, j tYhile the number of bills given i Out to us by the prosecuting offi- J leer tor the State is in excess of | ! those at our last term and a most! henious and diabolical murder has j been committed in our county, land the p'erpatrators have escaped i arrest, yet from the small number j joi cases Drought up lor trial \var! rants us in congratulating our Citizens upon their law abiding endencies. Some matters pertaining to pn-| vale rights and official conduct! i have been brought to our attention, and such as we deemed worthy to be brought to the attention of the court, we herewith ' I present. One D. W. Lewellen,! a citizen of this county, says that | in July, 1896, he was indicted and ; tried for a criminal offence against j the State in court of Magistrate J S. W. James; that he was found; ! guilty, and that the said magistrate i James imposed a line of $10 and | costs amounted to $10, making in 1 | all that he paid the magistrate i $20. The said Lewellen claims : 1 hat the cost was never turned | into the treasury as is commanded I by the law. Upon examining the treasurers books we find that the ; magistrate is credited on Jan. 27, I 1S97, with $10, a fine imposed on ! said D. W. Lewellen but no credit: for costs. If Air. James has vio- j luted the law in withholding the: costs in this case, we would rec- ' ! ommend that proper proceedings be instituted against Air James. In our last report to the court! at the February term, we made! recommendations tor the irame-1 diate repair of the jail, as such' i repairs were sorely needed in ^ order to preserve the building.; : We tind that nothing whatever ! Las been done up to this time. We find on our visit to the jail at this term that in addition to the repairs needed and befoie rec ommended that the water-closets | in the cells are so constructed as not to be able to carry off the secretions properly, and that a very offensive odor is constantly present, which we consider detri mental to the health of the pris oners, the jailer, his family and the town generallj'. We recommend that the county supervisor .take immediate steps to have the * I a?m mi ???????????wrma present closet removed. an<l one substituted that will mnedythe evil complained of. We also recommended in our I February presentment that our i county officials disburse public charity to paupers at tlie poor farm, and there only. No attention seems to have been paid to, this recommendation, and in ad jdition to paying out several lum-i [dred dollars, as we are informed,! j for a person lo take charge and ! run I he poor farm, orders ate being given out to merchants in I various parts of the countv lo ! furnish paupers in their sections. This kind of dis! ibuting charity ; seems to us to be very unwise, I detrimental to the best interest of county, but as our recommenda! tions go unheeded it would seem i to he only a waste of time to make , ; them. \\ e would also recommend J now that the county supervisorj | be instructed if it is lawful for the ! court so to do to furnish each! I township supervisor wilhasufijj jcient number of tools suitable fori working the public roads, he holding said township supervisors, personally responsible for all such tools. And the said tools shall not be used for any other purpose I than on the public roads, and! | further, that each township super- j visor be required to have every j public road in his township laid j i out to the full width allowed byi law. These recommendations' force Themselves upon us as the, best means of securing better roads \ in the place of many that ar-" now very miserable ones. Owing to the very busy season of the year with our farmers, and the most if not all of the grand jury being farmers we, have not ] yet given the public officers our j attention but will do so between 11 this and the convening of the | Fall term, and in order that we j may be able to make a full and j complete investigation of the working of our various offices. We desire your Honor to grant leave to oor foreman to appoint an expert! to assist us. We desire in closing!1 this report to return our thanks 1 to your Honor for vonr lucid and instructivechargetherebyenabling | us to more fully comprehend the scope of duty imposed us as Grand Jutors and to all the officers and! attaches of >he court for uniform j courtesy and kindness.

Just as the vulture, the scavenger of the anim:l kingdom, and not the nobler beasts of the fielJ found pleasure in the distress of Prometheus when he lay bound to the rock, in the same way do human sea venders attack the dis tressed p-rts and eat away the vitals of society.

It is through this class that the . . . . honest cash values given by he sesne & Epps became known to! the public.

The leading topic of conversations now among the Confederate veterans is the pension law. Some are quarreling because they get no pensions and others are tkkicking" at the small amounts received by themselves. For my part. 1 think that there is injustice in the administration of the law, for some worthy individuals are not permitted to draw a pen sion at all,while others who never tired a gun get a right neat little sum every month, flow'ever, we had best let the makers of the law look out for that as the blame i . _ _ i i resis upon mem.

Preventron is belter than cure, but it will never pirt a man's pic lure in the papers as recomending a p/tent medicine. Carelul observation shows that 9 wealth brings happiness?at least its often as poverty does. Mnvst. men e:in never see a full moon without wanting to find some girl to share it with them. Every time a man looks thought ful as long as two minutes at a time, his ile begins to wonder what is on his conscience. The inventor of the thermometer is said to have intended it as a clreck on the weather recollections of the oldest inhabitants; and he wept when he saw that it didn't work. It is to be feared that there are many otherwise enlightened people in this country who labor under the impression that all a President ot the United Stales has to do is to sign documents and shake hands. Quinine and other fever medicines take from 5 to 10 days to cure fever.
