As Accident.?The south-bound
I _^riosseugev train on Saturday last was
dcTayea^'sevei-al hoars at the freight
depot in this place owing to the happening
of an accident. The train
when passing at that point in some
way caught up a piece of loose, surplus
railing, and it became entangled
with portions of the engine machinery.
The injured portions of the engine
resulted in the escape of the steam,
aud the condition of affairs necessitated
sending to Columbia for another
engine. The train left here about dark
on Saturday evening.

have been accidental. The fire on last

The Press ox Valentines.-?The
New York Herald of the 15th inst.
says of valentines and valentine day:
The New York postoffice was mandated
with valentines on Thursday.
The flood was not so dangerous to life
and wooertv as that which is swceDintr
through'the Ohio Valley, but its effects
upon human temper were disastrous
in the extreme. Not many years ago
: valentines were sent to ladies only and
the day was the occasion for a general
outbreak of anonymous poetry, which,
although lamentably feeble in structure,
was well meant. Now, however,
men receive most of the valen^
tines, and the standard of verse is
scurrility. The price of the alleged
comic valentine being only one cent,
aud the contents adapted to the sender's
extreme capacitv for meanness,

The Rev. C. B. Betts, of Chester

Mr. Betts was for a number of years

The State vs. Thomas Cnllen, infm*
Imvorlnrv?Tki*<*flfc?n<r infn tlift
house of Mr. J. X. Center, in this
placc. Messrs. McDonald & Douglass
appeared for the defence. The circumstances
of Cullen's arrest and the sev
erai uurgianes mat nau jusi> ucun wmmitted
in town have already been published.
Mr. Center gave the particulars
of the entry into his house, and
rather positively identified the defendant
as the man lie saw in his room.
The defendant's conduct when arrested
was also described, as heretofore published.
To establish his innocence the
liimsolf firsf. took t.hft stand.
V ?
He said that lie came to Winnsboro
for the purpose of getting employment
in an itinerant show that was then
exhibiting- here, but the company had
left when he arrived. Here he met
two men, with one of whom (a man
from Chicago) he was acquainted.
The three then agreed to "work" some
j nouses nere. "? tic prisoner states mac
be himself bought some socks for the
j work?the purchase, however, being
| also proved by a witness for the State.
Cullen further stated that one of the
| party got drunk, and that he (Cullen)
concluded not to take any part in the
robberies. He denied positively any
couuection with them, and sought to
explain all his actions while in this
vicinity. As his reason tor walking,
instead of riding on the cars, he said
that lie wanted to save passage money.
He also stated that he was waiting for
the south-bound train, which was to
pass here early in the morning, and
lay down on the road while waiting.
Several witnesses showed that on the
day after the burglary two men were
going from the direction of Winusboro
in the direction ot Ridge way, the prisoner
not beinar one of them. The
theory advanced, in favor of the prisoner,
was that the burglaries were
committed by these two men, and that
liie prisoner mmscii never cameu out
at all his original purpose to engage in
them.
At the close of: the evidence the argument
for the defence was opened by
Mr. Douglas-s, at the conclusion of
whose remarks the Court adjourned
till ten o'clock Saturday morning.
The argument in the case of the
State vs. Thomas Cullen was con
llliuea on oiuuruav luuriuitg?ju.i.
McDonald speaking for the prisoner,
and Solicitor Gaston closing for the
State. After the charge of the Judge
retired. They remained out about five
hours and then returned a verdict of
"Guilty". It is said that the main difference
of opinion among the jury was
as to recommending the prisoner to
mercy?some of the jurors being at
first in favor of such recommendation.
The State vs. Washington Jones,
indicted for fornication?Col. Jas. JEL
Rion for ue defendant. Verdict?
Not guilty.
On Monday morning the prisoners
were brought into court, and sentenced"

Presentment of the -Grand Jury.
The following is the final presentment
of the grand jury for the February
term:
To the Eon. A. P. Aid-rich, Presiding
Judge:
The grand jury respectfully make
the following presentment:
1. That our body has acted upon all
of the bills handed to them by the
Solicitor; and we have endeavored to
discharge our duty regarding them
according to the instructions received
from your Honor.
2. We have had before us the annual
reports of the county commissioners,
the county treasurer and the county
school commissioner. From an examination
of these reports it appears that
the county funds have been faithfully
and honestlv disposed of, and that our
nrvtr fnefina- nnA>i a
VUUii U J UUUII O Wi V i?v u a vui/iai^ u^/v>> *
sound and healthy financial basis.
The school funds of the county have
been equitably divided out to the various
school districts of the. countv, and
the public schools have been kept open
as long as the school funds would
allow.
' 3. That we have visited the county
poor house, and are gratified to report
that all of the inmates are provided
for in a comfortable manner. The
premises are kept in a neat, clean and
healthy condition, and from all that
has mme to our knowledge we tlvink
that the keeper has honestly discharged
his trust, giving to each inmate every
comfort and attention that, under the
circumstances, could be given or required
at bis bands. "We found in the
poor house a lady of delicate coustitn'ion,
Mrs. Emma H. Perry, who is the
mother of two children?a boy and
girl. She is desirous of raising up her
children outside of the poor house and
is willing to undertake their maintenance
if the same amount which they
now receive is allowed her for that
purpose out of the county funds. We j
4.x r ^ ?x I
meieiuiu ruuuuiuiuiiu mat, iuu uviwii*
I I
commissioners allow her a monthly
allowance, for the support of herself
and children, equal to that which they
now receive; and that they be discharged
from the poor house. We
find that each of the inmates of the
poor house has cost the county, 011 a
general average, only four dollars per
mouth for the last year? maKing a
total of forty-eight dollars per year for
each inmate.
4. We have visited the other public
buildings and offices of the county,
and are gla'd to be able to report that
each and all of them were found in
good condition. The books of the
various county officers are neatly and
correctly kept, so far as we are able to
judge from our examination of them.
The county jail seems to be neat and
clean, and the prisoners have been
well led and attended to by tne snenn
and his assistants. "\V"e desire to express,
publicly, our high appreciation
and commendation of the diligent,
faithful and fearless services of our
sheriff, Mr. Jno. D. McCarlev. It has
been brought to our attention that
several desperate characters have been
brought to the bar of justice through
his untiring diligence and vigilance,
and that several felons from
other counties and escaped convicts
have been apprehended through his
personal instrumentality; and we feel
justified in saying that no lawless,
desperate felon can take refuge in our
county and escape arrest during his
term of office.
o. We have examined the books and
records of the various trial justices of
the county, and find them to be kept
generally in a neat aud systematic
manner.' We would specially commend
the books of Trial Justices Neil
and Coleman for neatness and accuracy.
From an examination of the
various books of the trial justices it
will appear that a great many petit
and trivial cases are brought before
them for examination, and frequently
sent tip to the Court of Sessions for
trial. In many instances these cases
UiU WllUVM*!/ IVUIIUai^lUU vav^J/v
tlic malice of the prosecutor, and we
desire to place on record our unqualified
condemnation of this systematic
prostitution of the courts of justice,
in order to gratify personal motives at
the expense of the taxpayers of the
county. We think it would be far
better for our trial justices to peremptorily
dismiss all such cases. Although
the trial justices claim that they generally
"make costs" out of the parties,
still we think that there is no justification
for bringing numerous jurors and
witnesses from their homes and business
in order to dispose of such little,
trivial eases under the forms of law.
Frequently many cases are thrown out
by the Solicitor for the simple reason
that there is no proof sufficient to sustain
the charge, and for all this the
county is put to great expense, and
jurors and witnesses are put to great
inconvenience, with little or no remuneration.
We think, therefore, that
our trial justices should exercise a
little more judicial discrimination and
refuse to entertain any charge brought
before them unless the same is well
founded both in law and fact.
G. We have, as your Honor instructed
us, examined the jury list, and we
find that many of the jurors are not
such as we might desire. We therefore
had the jury commissioner before
us and from him we learn that there
are about three hundred of our best
citizens exempt from-jury duty by law,
and that about one hundred and fifty
are excluded by reason of service the
previous year. "This is the first time
at which the jury commissioner has
acted since his appointment, and he
claims that he is not famiUaLV^&iSff;
the parties whose iiam^^re-jp?tmthe I
box, but proEnseTto be mere rigid in
the future. *
?T. -We have heard no complaints
concerning the public roads, and from
all information that has reached us we
report tnem to ue m gooa con anion.
3. In conclusion, we are glad to
welcome your Honor to our circuit
again and desire to express our high
appreciation of the valuable assistance
and instructions given us in regard to
our duties. S. W. Beooit,
Foreman.
The Court of General Sessions was

Council:
Dear Sib: I am in receipt of your
letter of the 7th inst., in which you
state "I am directed by the Town
Council to get your opinion as that of
their legal counsel, as to whether any
special duties are devolved upon the
Council in leference to enforcing the
laws of the Stale against the selling of
spirituous liquors, by the result of the
election held under the 4Local Option
Law1. Raid result heinor in favor of 'no
license'."
I have thoroughly investigated the
subject, and am sorry to Lave to come
to the conclusion that the Intendant
and Wardens have no .duties other
than those in their ex-officio capacity
as Trial Justices. This duty is simply
to arrest violators of the law, upon information,
upon oath, of the law being
violated.
I will give some of my reasons.
1. This selling of liquors is not in
itself a breach of the peace.
2. It violates 110 Town Ordinance.
3. It violates no provision of the
Town Charter.
A Pliorvfai' T XT rtf tlio f-Joviprnl

Council: but on the contrary (Section
1734) "specially charges the County
Commissioners with the duty of obtaining
information as to the violation
of the provision of the Chapter, and
with the duty of instituting pro?cutions
therefor."
Yours respectfully,
Jas. H. Riox,

ginger is really an unimportant ingredient,
