Jas. T. Bacon. Thos. J. Adams. EDITORS. E. KEE8E, Corresponding Editor. Edgefield, S. C., Mar. 15, 1883. A Courteous but Conscientious , Grand Jory, Oar Grand Jury for the year 18S3 were discharged on Thursday after nDon of last week, after four days of hard and useful work. As will ba seen by reference to their Re port, published in another column> they were courteous but conscien tious. In plain English, they were very sensible and very brave. And in effect they certainly backed up the ADVERTISER in its late advice to our County officials concerning the publication of their annual reports, and in its reminder to the County Commissioners that their economy, in certain respects, although well m*ant was not wise, and did not par ticularly meet the approbation of the people. The law requiring the pub lication of Lhe Treasurer's Reports of the disbursements of the public moneys, although adding largely to the official duties of that officer, is ODe that must be satisfactory to the \ general public. From the report of audited accounts published by the County Commissioner.?, no taxpayer can for a moment tell who has and who has not received money. The mere fact of auditing accounts is no indication that said accounts are paid. It is the Treasurer j -Report which shows at a_glalice into whose \ pocketsj?s-p^?d out money has found way. The recommendation as to the im provement of our Court ; House is a progressive movement in the right direction. The present Court House is large enough and convenient enough, but decidedly shabby and ill-furnished. That is shabby in its want of fresh paint and whitewash. The walls, the door and window fac ings, the Bench of the Judge, and the Desk of the Clerk, and the benches upon which the av dience sit, are all painfully dirty. They are strong [ enough and well constructed enough> Lbut they are dark and dingy. And the new overhead ceiling of the Court room bas never felt the touch of the painter's brush. Our Clerk'of Couit is a neat man and a conscientious one; bat no amount of cleaning that Le may, and does, have done with scrubbing brush and broom, can make any show amid so much filthy old paint and whitewash. In short the condition of our Court House is not in keeping with the prosperity and progress of our County. This ought not to be; and we are glad to see our Grand Jury progressive enough to _ make the movement towards hay their estimates of the enterprise and progressiveness of its citizens. That- there should be school checks uncalled for and -undeliv ered-through a course of two or three years-is a fact that must have fallen heavily upon certain teachers .^-weak women perhaps with no one to look after'such matters for them. It is a comfort to know that our . Poor House is well kept ; and cer tainly it is a matter of pride that so large a county as Edgefield has but ten paupers. As regards the rebuke of the Grand Jury to our Town Council, we are only surprised that it was not sharp er and more comprehensive. When a man is elected on the Town Counci of Edgefield, God seems to at once paralyze his head, his heart, his hands L -all his parts and all his senses. Or at least this paralysis strikes him. We doubt, however, that God has ^nythi?g to do with it. - Cotton Seed Oil Mills. In many sections of our State, Cot ton Seed Oil Mills are being institut ed, with flattering promises of suc cess and'money. Cannot this thing I be started in Edgefield? We see Com anafjvertieeinent which han late ly met our eye in some paper-an advertisement from J. W. Cardwell & Co., of Richmond, Va.-that the prices of Cotton Seed Oil Mills have J fallen wonderfully lately. For in stance, a No. 1 Mill (2 tons seed per day) is set down at $1,800; and a ! No. 2 Mill (4 tons per day) at $2,500. There is money in this matter. Let Edgefield be up and doing. A Shocking Tragedy in tbe Asylum at Columbia. COLUMBIA, March ll.-At the Lunatic Asylum, at ll o'clock yester day, a patient from Edgefield County named Z. P.' Whatley, a sufferer from acute mania, while in a sitting-room _,with half a dozen other male patients, - managed to free his hands from the straps which bound them to his waist. . He then tore off the arm of a wooden ? settee and made a wild attack on those in the room. He struck a pa tient, named James A. Barrington, from Marlboro* County, in the back of the head, fracturing the base of ?.?Jiis skull. He then attacked Mat (Stairwell, a keeper, and felled him Another keeper rau up and secured Whatley. Barrington died this morning. Cantwell is not dangerously wound d. -Coi'. Nexos and Couria'. A Close Railroad Election.

STATE OP SOUTH CAROLUS A, 1 EDGEFIELD COUNTY, J To the Honorable J. H. Hudson. Presid ing Judge for the March Terni of Court, 1883. * We the Grand Jurors of Edgefield Coun ty beg leave to submit to your Honor, the subsequent report : That we have exsm ined the public Offices of our County, as well as the Poor House, Jail and Court House, and have thus gathered quite a number of items of much importance to the citizens of Edgefield. We have examined tho Books an I ac counts of the County Commissioners' of fice, and we find them neatly and careful ly kept. We also find checks drawn and signed as far back as- 1S79, still in the old check books, and not called for by parties in whose favor they are drawn. We re commend that the Commissioners adver tise all undelivered .'checks quarterly in the County Newspapers. We find, on visiting the Auditor's and Treasurer's offices, that their Books are well kept, and correct so far as we could examine them. We find that [the Audi tors' Books Bhow that the assessment .of personal property, for the year ending 1st June 1881, amounts to $1,0S9,4G7 ; on real estate, $2,590,020. Total assessment for ISSI. $3,G8G,092. And for the year ending 1st June 1SS2, the assessment on personal property amounts to $908 0S0 ; on real estate, $3,259,S00. Total assess ment for 1SS2, $4,227,940; an increase for the year 18S2 of $541,848. The Treasur er's Books show that he collected, for 1882, $3,333.90 more than was on the Auditors' Books. We recommend that an expert he appointed to examine all the Books of the County officers and report to the Grand Jury at the June term of our Court. >, .-We'have examined the Clerk's and Sheriffs offices, and find their Books neat ly and properly kept, and that the moneys on deposit, vouchers and Bank accounts correspond. We examined the Books and office of the Judge of Probate and found them neatly kept. In this office, we found $99.55. After deducting $3 9S for com missions/, there is s : ill remaining on hand $93.01, belonging to Dr. S. P. Fant, from estate of W. Sheppard, and Mrs. Lydia Fulmore, from estate of Joshua Miller. We recommend that six chairs be furnish ed for this office. We also recommend that this office be whitewashed, the win dow frames painted and the windows re paired. We viaited the office of the School Commissioner, he being absent, and we examined his Record of moneys apportion ed to each Township for the fiscal year ending November 1, 1S83, which record also shows what checks have been issued to this date. We found this writing quite legible, and correct in so far as could be ascertained under the circumstances. We recommend that the School Commissioner be present at the June term of our Court to give an account of his official acts. ' We have examined the Books of Trial Justices E. A. Glover and W. D. Allen, and find them kept in a neat -.nd proper manser. 'We recommend that all the Trial. Justices be required to bring their Books to the Court House for the inspec tion of the Grand Jury at the June term of oijr Court. We find the Poor House fdSffiiiffiir fiea^n^g?n(l^^ is.Tieeded. e found the Jail in good condition, bu? lacking in blankets, cooking.and eat in? utensils as well as locks. We found the Jail yard wall in danger of falling and recommend its immediate repair. We found the Court House in general, bad repair-the Grand and Petit Jury rooms being in a disgraceful condition. Decency requires a close plank fence to screen the back yard of the Court House from the street. A lock is needed for the front doors of the passage in the lower story to keep out loafing intruders at night. Each office should have a key to the front door. We further recommend that the County Commissioners furnish the necessary funds to the.Clerk of the Court, and that he bo required to purchase and. supply all necessary stationery and fuel for the Grand Jury while in session. And lo furnish and keep in the Grand Jury rooiu-IS chairs ; and each Petit Jury room with 12 chairs and to be kept there; a suitable chair for the Judge and lamps for the Court Boom and Jury Booms; that he have the Court House thoroughly cleans ed and fitted for business before each ses sion of tue Court. We suggest that the present Road law is insufficient, and would recommend that the Legislature enact a law, authorizing that the roads be let out to the lowest bidder with good bond and security for the faithful per formance of contracts, ^nd the levy of a reasonable tax to pay for the same. Also a law compelling persons purchasing cat tle and begs and butchering the same, lo keep a record of the marks and brauds for the inspection of the public. Also a law changing the term of office of our County Commissioners to 4 years, as they scarcely become familiar with their du tiei before their term expires. We respectfully present the Corporate authorities of Edgefield Village for th? bad condition cf their streets. To your Honor, the Solicitor and other officers of the Court for courtesies ex tended, we return our sincere thanks. Respectfully submitted. EDGAR'L. GUERARD, Foreman. Our Railroad. S. L. Campbell, Secretary and W. J. Kirk Chief Engineer of the Cai o lina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago railroad have been in tawn several days, arranging for the right of way with the different parties through whose land the route will pass. From Aiken to this point very lew persons have thrown any difficulties in their way and we cannot think any of our citizens will hesitate for a moment to give them a free passage. The route ia a very important one, traversing a rich and prosperous sec tion of our country and giving us connection with the grent Northwest, where we get our supplies. It will build up the country and from one end to the other of the line will open un a trade of great profit and advan tage to every man, woman and child. Capable and experienced business men have the construction in charge and success is sure. Brains and not stomach, recommeud the officers and we can endorse the enterprise know ing that the people will not lose mon ey in it as they are bound to do where potama asses have control.

It ie understood that suit will short ly be instituted against the Granite ville Manufacturing Company and against the town of Graniteville for the land upon which the factory and the village stand. The proceedings, it is said, will be in behalf of the Wool fork heirs in Georgia, in whose family this land originally was held, and from whose possession, it is maintain ed, the property improperly passed by titles illegally transferred. Maj. R. J. Moses, of Columbus, Ga., it is learned, has been retained to represent th Wool fork interest.- Chronicle and Constitutionalist. It is given out that ladies will wear vests precisely like the gentlemen's this summer. When a married man goes to bsd, he will have to put a chalk mark cn his vest, ornext morn ing he may slip on his wife's and not discover his mistake until he inserts his thumb and forefinger in the right haud pocket for a pinch of finecut, and finds nothing but a piece of chewing gum, and the stub cf a soft black lead pencil. Then he will sud denly remember that there was a roll of ten dollar greenbacks in the left hand j ocket of his vest-that is, if he is not an editor he will-and he will rash back home in Rarus' time. LEE VS. RICH ARDSON.-Samuel Lee, who has stoutly contended for the seat of Mr. Richardeon, in the Forty Seventh Congress, was deolared not elected on the 4th instant thereby defeating an expect ed consideration on his part of the nice little sum of some $10,000. This amount would have accrued to him had he been declared elected. Tins amount therefore re mained in the Treasury of the Gov ernment, instead of passing from it into Mr. Lee's pockets. The Aiken Recorder says: "The improvements to the Graniteville CE? nal are now complete.and will enable the factory to utilize their water to, better advantage. They were all ex ecuted under the intelligent supervi-j sion of Superintendent S. W. How-' land, who is one ol the nio'tthorough going factory experts to be found in this or any otb. r State." Dr. Mark Reynolds, a prominent citizeu and physician of Sumter Co., is dead. Dr. S. S.
