Although the Chadwick trial nae ended and the war in the east bas nearly run its course, the great dailies need not despair for . something to print. The Gay uor . ' Greene trial will soon be on and - the baie ball season isabiut tc open. The Indiana general assembly bas. passed aud the governor hat r approved au anti-cigarette act which goes iuto effect on Juut let, making it unlawful for any per BOU to sell, exchange, or give away cigarettes or cigare! te papers wi th in the borders of that common wealth. For the first violation a fine of*$50 will be imposed, and for the second offense a fine of \ $500. There would not be so many cigarette fiends, whose lives have bein permanently wrecked, were all of the Btates to pass and enforce such a law. Oyama, tho great Japanese gen eral, has proven himself, to be oue of the greatest military geniuses r\-^^jrtj??deTn times, and is the lion of the hour. I Voiras-be?s~?s?d that some men are self-made and others wife-made. Who knowF ' but what this great commander owes much to his better-half for Ilia wonderful achievements. His wife,although a Japanese woman, ?r is a very devout Christian and was educated at Vassar, ben-g an honor graduate of this foremost female college of America. She is said to be a lover of Americans and American customs. Whafb the matter with Spar tanburg? Seme of ber citizens, who probably "booze" late on Saturday night, consequently snooze late on Sunday morning,] want one of the churches of that city enjoined from ringing its j bell early on the Sabbath, claim This is something new under the CUD, and had it originated in At lanta it would have been no sur < "prise, but we must confesB our surprise that an erstwhile un obtrusive Carolina town should be putting on Buch airs. The unexpected has happened. On Friday last two white men were convicted in Darlington, S. C., for the murder of au inoffensive ne gro. For this crime one of the men has been sentenced to pay the death penalty on the 5th of May amHh.e.other one is to spend the remainder of his days in confine ment, at hard labor. A negro who | - killed a white man in the same county is also to be hanged on May 5tb. It is not probable that these verdicts will be interfered 'with as public sentiment is said tc sustain them. It appears that a . new and better day has dawned in South Carolina-one in which justice is to be meted out to the ? dead as well as living in cases of homicide. v Does South euroli aa Conduct a Medicine Dispensary ? . This question is suggested by an advertising proposition which ?.we reoeived a few days ago. A .New York agency tent usan ad vertisement of a certain brand of malt whiskey that is sold by all dispensarien, at one dollar per offering to pay us liberally for publishing it fora given time. Upon receipt of it we forward* d our stereotyped reply to all such propositions: -'The ADVERTISER f does not advertise intoxicants for any one at any price." In due season we received a letter from the advertising agency stating that ws did them au injustice" to ?laes this brand of malt whiskey as ari intoxicant, averring that it wa9 a medicine that was en dorsed by prominent physicians, ministers and temperance workers Our reply to this was thai WP, personally, knew nothing of their malt, but judged it by the com-j. pany that it was keeping at the], dispensaries. Furthermore, \ bat ii South Carolina did not conduct a medicine dispensary but did sel 1 intoxicating liquors to all who would buy. We also staled that i/ th? four ministers of our town ?would recommend this medi ;Oine(?),or if we were furnished i * with a chemical analysis showing that this malt whiskey w-iuld not intoxicate.; and, furthermore, if they would place it on sale at "ali ?aBagfa^*T7rrM^'irrrTii iTfgnrwi.?M? drug atores5' instead of at "all dit," peusariep,1' that we would then acpept their proposition to.adver tise it. We have uot yet received the personal endorsement from our Edgefield ministers. Should they receive a "little brown jug" by prepaid express, marked, "for peraonal use," they will be iu debted to the ADVERTI?ER for the medicine. Report of the Grand Jury. To His Honor, R W. Memminger, Presiding Judge at the March term of Court for Edgefield coun ty. S. C. We, tho Grand Juiy, having passed on all bills of indictment handed to us by the Solicitor and reported same to your Court, now bog to make the following recom mendations and presentment: This being the first assemblage of the Grand Jury for the year we have not had time to make inves tigation worthy of report, but the following committees have been appointed from our body charged with special duties of investigation: Committee on Official Bonds: S B Mays, W R Holliday, L \V Reese and J B Adams. Committee to examine books ?nd accounts nf county officials:-VV R Parks, S B Mays, N M Jones, A E Padgett, P C Stevens, D B Hol lingsworth ai:d A J M obley. Committee on Poor House: PC Stevens, A J Mobley, N M Jones. Committee on chain gang, roads und bridges:-S ? Strom, Wnr S Middleton, W T Kinnaird,' J M Mays and J H Johnson. Committee on Jail, Court House and Office Buildings:-D B Hoi-, lingsworth, J C Shaw, S J Rey nolds and G B Reynolds. Thfse committees are^ to. serve for the year and are instructed to make full and'complete report in their special line at the August term of Court. We find that all county officers have on file bonds in proper form and a un ITU nt as required by law ex cept in the case of the Auditor who has recently been commissioned, and we are informed that the prop er bond for his office is being pre pared and will be filed in a few days As to the condition of our Court House and Jail, we deem it unnec essary to make any further recom mendation, but we do urgently n - quest that the proper officers make the very much needed repairs on these buildings which h .ve been so long and so continuously recom mended by former grand juries. The committee ou Poor House report that the county is earing for on its pauper farm twenty-one pau pers, ten being white, thrte malts and seven females, and eleven col ored, eight males, two females, one child. The premises are cleanly and well kept. The inmates ap pear to be well fed, c'othed and contented. About the following supply of provisions ann feed were fuund c n the premises: 50 to 60 bales of hay, 3000 bundles of fod der, 400 bushels of corn, and 450 lbs. meat. These were all raisedon the county farm. The following stock was also found on the county farm: Two mules, one horse aud five cows, all in- good condition. We recommend that as there appears to be more corn on the county farm than will be necessary to furnish bread to the paupers and feed for the8tock, that the? Steward be in sixueted to turn over the surplus cojn and other feed to the County Supervisor to be fed to the chaiD gang stock and that the proper ac counting be entered for same. Our attention has been called to the fact that a foul murder was committed in our county several months ago upon the person of one Moses Wells and that no papers dr records of the inquest held have been filed by the Magistrate hold ing the inquest in the office of the Clerk of Court. We therefore re commend that if all the evidence and fiadings of the Coroner's j" t in chis case be not forthwith turned as required by law, tl rule be issued against said n . trate to show cause. Our attention has been called to the carelessness of certain Magis trates in the preparation of their papers, to wit: their warrants and bonds of witnesses and defendants in original cases; also to their fail ure to file with the Clerk of Court all warraots, bonds and records in criminal cases' within the time pre scribed by law before the conven ing of the Court of General Ses sions. We have been requested to call the attention of the County Super visor to the condition of the bridge across Stevens Creek known as the Clark's Hill bridge, and ask that the same be repaired at once. We desire to express our appre ciation to His Honer, the Presiding Judge, the Solicitor and other Court officials for the courtesies ex tended, and assistance rendered us in the discharge of our duties at this term of Court.
