Yesterday Judge Tewnsend gave several negroes who evidently expected to Cc spend a lazy summer in the penitentiary getting free board, sentences which will make them spend their vacation shov elifcg dirt, and it is I said that the trial justices will increase the size of the gang by senten- mil cing poll tax delinquents thereto. rac The county board of commissioners da^ at a special meeting yesterday dc- issi cided to make use of the county , chain gang for work on the public roads, confining such work for the present to five miles from the city, cor but if the experiment of working me convict labor proyes successful, it ^lai nill probably be extended. The details of the matter will be Por fully arranged at the quarterly meet- mci r.g of the board next Monday. It is con Jiought that at lehst twenty hands anJ can be kent nermanentlv at work- at Th< i moderate expense to the county, *ior ind the difference between steady cou uid intelligently directed labor and Sov he occasional, go-as.-you-please, labor 8011 >f the old system, will be so mani- 3 estly advantageous that no taxpayer y?u vill grumble at the expense of guard- Pr0 ng and keepings the prisoners be- ^ie onging toibe'^^vang. The people all want good r0ad9, , J ind as the county through good fininciul management has a sufficiency v'1*' >f funds for all purposes, and a sur- I ilus on hand, the present action of P?*! he board will, no doubt, be greatly Sai1 ronnnended. ?ry The first work done by the chain Jang will be on the Winnsboro road con rom the city line to the live mile ,UIV ost, and they will he kept there lint^ intil that section of the road is in Irst?class condition; then the labor rys] vill be transferred to the roads south r'?' ?f tlic city, then to those on the east, mel md it is hoped that ere long there on^ vill be a driveway for live miles in ves my direction from the city that none leed he ashamed of.?

For several weeks a . 1 ommittee of the jury have been at a rork in an examination of the books f the county. Yesterday they ro- C()r lorted that the county commissioners ^ 1 re guilty of carelessness, extrava- e :nnce and fraud. To substantiate 1>,C his accusation they cite the follow- ,1CC ng instances of the improper expen - e< litures of public money: con First. Hills have been paid which lave not been sworn to, as the law * c([uircs. Second. A number of ^ nidges have been built on private ?or oads, and they wore not advertised ,,11C ,nd let to the lowest bidder, as re- . [uircd by the law. Third. Two 1,11,1 rial justices have been overpaid. fourth. The clerk of the board has . . >een paid for thirteen nioifths' service tl(.)l luring the last year instead of twelve. ,nit .^ifth. The county court house has cou con painted and stables built at a *0G" cry extravagant price. 01 1 I'nder the now administration, Pu.r vith Mr. J. W.

In fact Mr. Sawyer has 'ns* mne so farbevond bound of r'udit ami > ; # o' I ustice as to pay a private bill for iard\vare out of the money of the A ounty. ^ Judge Richard Watts aptly suintn- ^ <1 up the situation by saying that lie affairs of Aiken county are in a co,n nost deplorable condition.

Weston, secretary of V the state working Committee of the "Forty," in an interview with a State ^ reporter has give out the following: *?j| Since 1892 I have been constantly thrown into contact with most of the ^tloadcrs of the Forty movement .and 1 ^r>j&now them to be men who possess aX$he courage to act on their convicrUt r?tions regardless of whom may oppose |H|tfeeui. These men by their conduct ]j*!5d utterances are truly desirous of jjw; J revering good feeling anion er the ^Mke people and reuniting the Doha modracy.

"It seems to me that the issue has lt| been narrowed down to a plain, simte pie question whether the people or ill the politicians are to rule. I feel )U satisfied that the great majority of the people earnestly desire an end of ?li strife and contention.

All this talk ans bout the people not trusting the Con>w servatives is simply an attempt to apn rouse prejudice against good men, til who in war and in peace have stood o- nobly and loyally by the best and high id est interests of the State of South to Carolina. 1 challenge any man to ml show where these men have betrayed a confidence, or have been derelict to y, the sei vice of the people.
