To the Hon. W. C. Benet, Judge presiding: We the Grand Jury for Lexington County, beg leave to make this, our final report: We have examined and passed upon all the bills handed us by the Solicitor, and discharged our d_ty as we understand the law. Th& work, recommended by us at the February term, to wit: the building of a new house lor the colored poor. h&3 not been done. We still recommend that this building be erected before the winter season. Our committee, for that purpose, has visited the poor house this day. Upon their report, we find that the inmates therein are well satisfied with the treataent given them by the Steward. We also find that the inmates therein testified before this committee to the fact that they are not receiving proper medical attention on the part of the attending physician, he having neglected to attend them during the last eight weeks, during which time three of the inmates at least have been confined to their beds most of the time. We find eight inmates therein, three whites and five colored. Information has bsen given us that Arthur Jacobs and Ellen Heal are living together in adultery and that Atrhur Slice, Solomon Koon, Cary Rood, Henry Koon, / Joseph Sweedenburg, Carroll Bookman, Jack Beeves, Jobe Slice, S. J. M6tz, H. A. Lorick and Wallace Lorick are material witnesses to prove the charge. We recom mend tbat the Solicitor have them Douna over for trial at the next term. We have examined the court house and jaii buildings and find that the County Commissioners have made the necessary repairs thereon. The committee of our body appointecLat the last tern) of the court to examine the county offices and report, have nude their report, all of which we approve and hereto attach as part of this, oar report. Thanking His Honor and the Solicitor for courtesies extended us, respectfully, D. M. Dbafts, .Foreman. BEPOBT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE. To the Grand"Jury of Lexington County: We, the undersigned committee appointed by you to examine the various county offices, beg leave to submit the following report: We met a.t Lexington Court House on August the 14th, and called to our assist- 1 ance C. M. Efird. auditob's office. The first office examined was that of Auditor. .We found that office in good condition, the various books and papers being. neatly and properly kept. The tax books in this office charged the Treasurer with the following amount of taxes: On real and personal property $29,174 33 On railroad property 9.07S 35 fk ?c\ /\/\ On polls #,o?z uu | Total ?31,994 68 | Total abatements 802 10 Leaving for collection $31,092 58 SCHOOL COMMISSION EE's OITICK. We find the bovks in the School Commissioner's office in good condition, and separate accounts kept with each school district and the records of the office in shape. This officer has drawn his salary of six hundred dollars and seven:eec 15-100 doliars for travelling expenses. We ascertain that the School Commissioner has been borrowing six or stven thousand dollars annually under authority of the Legislature, for tue purpose of having ready money to pay teachers' claims when due. For this scholastic year we are informed that about seven thousand dollars have been borrowed at seven per cent. This arrangement is much better than the former one of giving out the teachers' > claims before due, and requiring them to pay the discounts offered in the market if the money was needed. But we see no plan in this by which the evil is to be remedied. One of two ways must be adopted for tuat purpose, either levy a special tax for several years or slop the schools for one 3 ear In view of the present financial stringency, we recommend that our members of the General Assembly have passed an act stepping the schools for one year, and request that the School nnmmi&ioner show nis love for his con stitaency by not claiming salary fcr that year. sheriff's oracE. We find the books and records in the Sheriff's office in good shape. We find no money in bis hands except about thirty, four 34 00) dollars belonging to the Day children in a partition case, and a few dollars of costs, all of which are covered by his deposits in bank. / county comjossioxees' * office. An examination of the County Commissioners' office discloses the books and papers in good condition. For the last fiscal year, the county expenditures have been as t follows: For Auditor's salary S 300 00 For Clerk of Court 158 iO For Coroner 70 75 For Contingent Accoupt 1,666 00 For County Commissioners and Clerk 774 75 r?f "Fnrmlization 80 80 J?

L. Smith 54 diys, 1,191 miles; P. H. Caughman 571 days, 95i miles* L. J. Langford 6.* days. 1,906miles, all of which is less than the law permits tbem to use. In connection with this office we have examined what records we find there in regard to the Dispensaries in the county. ! i The examination covers the period from ; I -j Tuiv let. 1893. to Anril 21st. 1894, when --"T A , Dispensaries were closed. During that time the gross sales. Iroin the records in this office, foot up $8,207 65. Out ot this the total amount corning to the county is set down at $1,%> 154, and the total expenses, including salaries and everything, loot up $1,482 72, leaving a net profit of $502 434 cleek's office. In this office the books, papers and records are in good condition. We hud that the Clerk ought to h ive in his hands irora various sources and different estates, the sum of two hundred and twenty-six j 56-100 dollars, and we hnd this amount to ! his credit in bank, less a few dollars which be had in cash in his office aud produced before the committee. We hnd the two Indexes to Judgments in this office in bad condition, and recommend that the County Commissioners procure new books < for that purpose and have the indexing translerred to them. All the Judgment rolls in the office upon which costs have been paid are properly enrolled and indexed; but the Rolls from number bo3 to number lblo inclusive, less three intermediate Rolls, are I not recorded. The cases seem to have been ! ended aud judgment enrolled daring the term of office of Col. Wm. J. Assmann. ^In some of the Rolls not recorded the costs of recording have been paid, but we cannot saj as to all because we had no means of I ascertaining as to them all. The defalcation of Col. Wm. J. Assmann, as Clerk of Court and as Administrator of derelict estates, as appears by the report of Robert E. Shand, lleferee in the case of Long vs. Assmann et al., amounts to ?the snm of S13.359.24, none of which will be covered by the sale of his property, by bis receiver, C. S. Rauch. At this point the investigation was ad jonrned until tne iutn 01 oeptemoer, on th ?t date the two remaining offices, Treasurer and Judge of Probate were examined. Present during the examination. D. M. Drafts, A. 0. Wilson and C. M Efird: Tr.EAsrr.Ea'* OFITCE. In this office we found that the Treasurer had collected all the taxes charged against him by the Auditor above stated, less the legal abatements, nulla bonas and delinquents. We found proper vouchers in his hands to cover the whole amount ; due the State for last fiscal year. The examination of the county 'finances was brought up to date. We found the Treasurer charged as follows: Total cash on hand last fiscal )ear... $ 0,139 93 Borrowed for Co. to date .v.. 4,750 00 Borrowed for schools to date 7,000 00 Cash for schools... 1,693 81 Sinking Fund K.

In the office of Judge of Probate we found the books, papers and records in good condition. We found charged against this officer in various Estates, the sum of eight hundred and twelve 82-100 dollars. He showed cash in hand and in bank to cover the full amount. , In this investigation vour committee desire to add that it has received at the hands of the various county officials uniform kindness and courtesy. All of which is respectfully submitted. D. M. Dbafts, A. 0. Wilson, Special Committee, special bepobt. To the Hon. W. C. Benet, Presiding Judge: We, the Grand Jury for Lexington county, beg leave to make this as our report in the matter of Wm. J. Assmaun, exClerk of Court and J. A. Muller, Trial Justice. In the matter of Wm. J. Assmann, exClerk of Court, charged with malleasance in office while such Clerk, we recommend that such steps be taken by the Solicitor as mav be necessary to bring him to iustice In the matter f of J. A. Mailer, Trial Justice, we have had aD examination of him before us, wherein he acknowledged 1 that he did refuse to issue a warrant for M. Q Hendrix for the arrest of W u. J. 'Assmann on the grounds that he was a near relative of the said Wm. J. Assmanu. We Tecommend that if this excuse is not legal, the Solicitor take such steps as maybe necessary to adjust this matter. Respectfully submitted. D. M. Dbafts, Foreman. September 19, 1894. Deafness Cannot be Cured. By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. "When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor^-d cond.tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ?/ * ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surface. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: We had a great deal of rain last week, wmcn some 01 oar iarmers regreueu iu see ou account of having cotton in the field. It will cause the sample to be bad and the j price to be reduced still lower. It the snn continues to shine, as it is today, cotton picking will not last much longer. ! 1 beard one of our most popular and industrious young men say he had picked a : bale of cotton from Monday morning until Saturday noon. He certainly deserves praise. Young men, who can beat that? I am glad tp say those that were sick at the time of the last writing, have been restored to their usual health. Mrs. Bachman Huffman is now sick. May she soon recover. Mrs. Polk Younginer has returned from her visit to Newberry, and has been quite sick, but I am glad to say she was able to make her appearance at the picnic last i Friday. I am glad indeed to hear that little Mayo Ogilvie has been restored to his usual health. Picnics are such things as most young people are fond of, and so on the fifth there was one given near the residence of Mrs. Sue Huffman. There was just crowd enough to make it pleasant, and a nice shady place w th plenty of nice lemonade, and seats aade by some of our kind lriends who deserves many thanks. The dinner was excellant and abundant. We had for amusement sitting about, talking, laughing and baseball playing. The old and young seemed to enjoy it. I suppose Messrs. Willie and Haskell Huffmau deserves the honor of making up this picnic. There was a picnic gi-en at Saluda last Friday. It was made up by some of the young people of Lexington Court House. The >oung people of this community were invited and some ot tnem accepiea me invitation and reported quite a pleasant time. Many tlianks for your kind invitation. I am sorry that I could not attend. The beef club of this community was out last Friday, but as we are fond of beef they organized another club. The preaching davs at St. Andrews have been changed from the first and second Sundays to the second and fourth. There will be preparatory services on Saturday evening before the second Sunday in next mouth and communion on the Sunday following. We have Sunday school every Sunday at St Andrew's school, with Mr. Joseph Huffman, Sr., as Snperintcudant. The roll contains the names of forty-five scholars and the average attendance is about twenty five. Mrs. Carrie Leaphart and her neice, Miss Nora Maffett, have returned from a visit to relatives in Edgefield county. Messrs. J. A. Kibler and A. T. Wilson, of Newberry, recently made a brief visit to Mr. W. W. SpeDce's family. Miss Ella Huffman is on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Boyd Beardeu of Columbia. I wish you a pleasant visit, Miss Ella, but i hope you will soon return, if you don't some of us might get low spirited. Pearl.

The weather is very beautiful, and 1 the farmers arp busily engaged in picking their crop of live cent cotton. i Cotton picking and molasses making ^ is now the order of the day. ^ Some very heavy courting going on around here now, and the prospect is, that about Christmas or hog killing time several pairs will tie that r knot which no law can sever in this aBti-divorce State, and you may look for a friutful crop of corn next year. 1 Sometime ago one of our little boys went "calling,v and had a most pleasant time, he said be had enjoyed ] himself hugely, so he asked permis- * sion to call again, of course she gave ' him permission. But in a few days he received a little note?smiles as he opens his little note?reads the note?stops smiling, gets disheartened?tears up the note.

Peculiar to Itself. TTrvnrl's Sflrfiflnflrillft is r>pp.nliar tn 1 itself, in a strictly medicinal sense, in three important particulars, viz: first, in the combination of remedial ( agents used; second, in the proportion in which they are mixed; third, in the process by which the active curative properties of the preparation are secured. These three im- ; portant points make Hood s Sarsapa- , j rilla peculiar in its medicinal merit, ; as it accomplishes cures hitherto un- 1 ! known. < But it is not what we say but what , Hood'6 Sarsaparilla does, that tells ( the story. "What Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for others is reason for 1 confidence that it is the medicine for ! you. 46. A Letter from Festus, To the Editor of the Dispatch: The farmers frown at the low price < of cotton, yet he must smile as he 1 i contentedly sets about his hearth- . ; stone and counts upon the very abundant crops of corn, potatoes and i peas which will reward his laborers < in the coming harvest. There is hog and hominy ahead and the juicy 'possum is growing fat. The political sky fairly pictured, presents a crazy quilt appearance made of reform promises, the despairing cries of those long in office, 1 populistic calamity howls and the re- 1 mote corners decked with the forlorn hopes of Independents. This political medley finds no exact 1 paralled in American history and from it at no very distant day must evolve srreat changes. They are in U , W * evitable, and the signs of the times point to tbem as certainly as they did to the "Impending Crisis" which hung cloudlike over our country just before the late war. Let us trust that good will finally come to cleanse the political arena. The deep mouthed thunder purifies the air, and furious storms cleanse the ocean waves. Periods of great political commotion are often followed by an era of iucreased prosperity. The primary in Orangeburg county has resulted in the selection of good candidates. Messrs. B. Sturkie, Tat urn, and Price are all good men. Dr. L. K. Sturkie was elected for his econd term by an overwhelming aajority.
