COURT ITEMS.
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. Sen
tenced $10 each, or six weeks on
chain gang-Col.. W. P. Calhoun
for the defendants.
Wiley Miles, house breaking and
larceny. . Guilty-15 months on
chain gang. S iMcG. Simkins for
defendant.
Ellen Butler, assault and bat
tery. Plead guilty. Sealed sen
tence.

offender, plead guilty. Sentence,
5 years on the chain gang.
On Tuesday morning, Tom Guin
yard, Hey ward Ware and Lawson
Hill, burglary and larceny. Plead
guilty. Sentence, three years each
on the chain gang.
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.

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.

Said the British : "Here's a kopje?
Let os charge and never stcpje
'Till we bayonet and mopje
All the Boers off the earth."
So they made their rifles popje
At the Boers on the kopje,
And they rushed up to the topje
Venting shouts of savage mirth.
When, alas, they reached the topje
Of the lofty, rocky kopje
The Boers had the dropje .
From the front and left and right,
So the Britons made a flopje.
With a skipje and a hopie
And they quit that stony.kopje
In a somewhat hasty flight.

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.

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?
The experience-of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Com pou ud Oxygeu to be the agent
needed.
