Our March term of court was convened promptly at 10 a. m. on Monday, Judge Benet presiding. And he presides with the dignity and courtesy of theovi-time a-fore the war judges and chancellors. He talks like a judge, wisely and well ; he looks like a judge, and the people of Edgefield respect him, aud regard him as "the right man in the right place." His charge to the grand jury was able, clear and directly to the point. And we are always glad when he is with us. The grand jury was organized at the call of Clerk Hill, and Mr. Luther Reece was elected foreman. A compliment to Mr. Reece, aud a worthy selection for the place as signed him. Two little negro girls, Daisy Gaston and Hattie Colliei12 and 13 years old, charged with larceny from " the. field-picking' 40 cents worth of cotton, from. a patch ID December-were found guilty with recommendation to mercy.

By 12 o'clock Tuesday the grand jury had finished their business, submitted their presentment, (which we will publish next week) received their pay certificates and were wending their way home wards. MessTR. Geo. Wise, S. H. Manger, D. T. Grice, J. R. Blocker and Walter Branson are the stand ing committee for the year for the grund jury to inspect the books of the county officials, etc., etc., and report at the next term of court. The last case, that against Caro line Kimbrel, assault and battery with intent to kill. Verdict, guilty. Sentence, 8 months in the county jail, or $50 fine. J. W. DeVore, Esq., for defence. . "There ' being no further busi ness" on the criminal side of court, the jurors were dismissed, and the ' court, as the Masons say, was "closed in^short form/' And after about three-thirds of the jurors and witnesses had provided themselves with the requisite amount of the ''chemically pure," and departed hence, there was a deplorable "stillness" abounding throughout our town. It is understood that the Prohibitionists will hold their Convention before the' regular Democratic Convention is held. This, it is supposed, is due to the possibility of the regular Conven tion passing some rule or adopt ing some, oath or pledge which would handicap the Prohibi tionists. Some time ago the Prohibitionists ran up against such a snag, and they may be afraid ol some such thing again and may want to be the "early birds" in the political field ' A $250,000 cotton factory at Croft's mill has been chartered Thi3 makes three quarters of a million projected in cotton mills in South Carolina last week. The total for the year is $3,776,000, and if this thing keeps on by the end of the year 1900 South Carolina will have $18,000,000 invested in new cotton mills to say nothing ol the old. It is reported at Montgomery, Ala., that General Wheeler, who is expected home soon from the Philippines, will announce himsoli as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor of Alabama, and will not, therefore, be a candidate . for renomination to Congress from his distiict. The souvenir badge of the Con federate Reunion at Louisville, May 30 to June 3, will be celluloid canteen with the profile of Winnie Davis, daughter of the Confederacy, on the one side and the Winnie Davis rose on the other. *??K?|Bcratic Reorganization. - Secretsiry Gunter, of the State executive committee, has been receiving a great many letters of inquiry about the.

Merry Makers Week in Augusta. Our correspondent in Augusta writes: Few people outside of Augusta realize the magnitude of the coming Free Street Attractions which the Merry Makers As socia tion will furnish the public during the week commencing April 23rd to 28th inclusive. For several years past this city has put on the finest attractions during their gala week but the show of tfcis year will surpass all past? efforts in every particular. A brief outline of the attractions are : The free performances on four large platforms to be erected on Broad street whore the finest artist that money and experience can procure. The Amusement Committee are now in correspond ence with Theatrical managers- of the East who are booking their best attractions for Augusta. Aside from this one of the highest class midways will be in full blast ou Broad street. Special atten tion is called to the fact that the association will allow nothing that will be objectionable to the most fastidious, to be presented. The display of Fire Works given last were superb but that word does not express the magnitude and beauty of this year's show. Exactly twice the amount of money expended for this attraction last year will be spent this season. The Floral parade will surpass any like attraction given in the Southern states. The association have offered exceedingly handsome prizes for the best decorated vehicles of all varieties and in this manner furnish all those desiring to enter into tho parade an in centive to spend both time and money to make their vehicles superb. Augusta is noted the world over for her beautiful women, therefore, what could present a more beautiful spectacle than a parade nearly a mile in length and each vehicle occupied by one or more of our beautiful women? The large number of laboring people of this section have signifi ed their willingness sud desire to co-operate with the.Merry Makers and to apsure the success pf "In dustrial Day" the services of Six Thou Band men and children have been offered. In this grand parade a majority of the merchants will have very attractive Floats thereby furnishing the show with a grand carnival effect. Gen. Joe Wheeler, the most admired and honored man of the South and the hero of many wars has been extended an invitation to visit this city and participate with the Merry Makers on Military Day. On this day it is the desire of the Association to have many of the state troops to participate in the Parade. At a meeting held at the Augusta Evchange on Thurs day the merchants the Savannah River Improvement Company was formed. The object of this or ganization is to improve the Savannah river as the name inplies The ^organization Will extend an invitation to the residents of the Savannah river valley and bring hundreds of people here to show them the many advantges which this ' city has over any other Southern city. Every railroad entering the city has signified its intention of putting on the lowest possible rates for this occasion and aiding the Merry Makers in every possible way. The recent disastrous fires have not materially affected the ac comodation!) of the city. Besides the several large hotels that are in the city, there are many com modious boarding house and many families have singified their will ingness to take hoarders for this occasion. The Merry Makers have provided a Bureau of Information for the accomodation of their guests, where those desiring to engage board or obtain any other information concerning the city will be furnished free of charge. Merry Makers Headquarters are ir the Arcade Alley, the Herald old business office, between 7th and Sth streets. . Call at the office and make your self at home. Separate and distinct from the Merry Makers the Confederate Veterans will run a fair which will be centrally located. Meals will be served at a nominal price, a check room will be attached and in every way the old Veterans will endeavor to please their guests. Bad Blood-Cure Free !

Co-Operative Road Making:. i What farmers can do by co operation in the matter of road making is interestingly told by a Michigan correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer. It is a sandy country where the corres pondent lives, and the loads were generally poor throughout the year. The town was poor also, and refused to improve the high ways. Then the farmers decided to help themselves. About fiver years ago twenty-five of them came together and offered to haul marl Ohe day free if the township would allow 'hem to take the marl from its bed. The township was willing, aud about twenty men volunteered to shovel and level the marl, and so the first half lnilei; was laid. That road proved such a8uccessthat the next year an other half mile was put down. This marl packed down so hard and made such excellent bed for gravel that the farmers donated $225 and labor for about one quarter mile of gravel. This be ing put on in what was always a wet place, it was spread about eight inches thick. Next year $250 was collected and about one-J half mile was put down spreading this only about four inches.. This year only $100 was collected, but j ] a quarter mile strip was put down,. I ? finishing the mile started ive years before. Besides this about a hal mile of marl was put down ready for gravel next fall. This action, of the farmers stirred up the-1 townspeople at large, and now the a town has offered to raise $600 fo~ gravel if the farmers will furnish the labor to shread it. That they will do willingly. Awful Crime in Georgia. Carterville, Ga., March 9. Details of a shocking murder in Paulding couuty, twelve miles, from here, is printed in tho News today. The victim was a young woman, Miss Nell McDowell. The girl had been reared by Son Jones, an old man, and his wife. The wife, it is stated, charged her husband with giving too much attention to the girl and left him. ? neighbor of the old man says that threats have been made to report the two to the grand jury. Sunday night, as the girl was sitting by the fire, some one stuck [' a shotgun through the window and blew her head off. Willie Jones, a son of the old man, has been arrested charged with the crime. The evidence ? .... . ' i against him is circumstantial, but f very strong. The wadding from 1 the charge that killed the girl was picked up. It was a piece of news- ? paper on which appeared part of fl the cut of a chicken. The tracks of the man who fired the shot were just the size ol the Bhoe woru by Willie Jones. In his bouse a double-barrelled, muzzle loading shotgun was found with one barrel loaded and one empty. The load was drawn and found to he wadded with newspaper on which was the balance of the chicken cut. What makes the tragedy of mor? horror is, according to the infor mant of the News, that the girl is said to be the daughter of the old man and a half-sister to the man who killed her. jffl^nf AMANUBIAN tea cures tyspep j IWHIvl ?> flia> Constipation and ?di gesti?n.

Chicago. iii The experiments of modern phy sicians and scientists have established tho fsct that many of the germs of disease enter the body by the inhalation of air laden with bacteria or microbes. These germs are very small but their work is deadly. Still many of them are comparatively harmless in health; but aa soon as an organ is diseased it is attacked. Th? experimets of Koch and others have shed much light upon this important subject But up to the present time the culture of bacteria appears to have mef with much better success than thei . destruction. As we can do so little to destroy these minute enemies, is not the most sensible course to strengthen and revitalize the system so that it may repel and resift their destructive in fluence, and does it not seem wry fitting that the revitalizing element should enter the body through inhalation of oxgen which is at once a revitalizer and germicide?
