Report of Grand Jury.
The State of South Carolina. ) In the Court j
County *of Lexington, of Sessions. 1
September Term, 1891.
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

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

Total $ 9.757 57
The County Coinmisssioners for the first
twelve months of service ;have been paid
N for the following:
S. 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.

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

In the office of Judge of Probate we

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.

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,

Fork?Sickness?Picnics, &c.
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.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in your valuable
paper, to give you a few pencillings
from the Cross Road section.
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

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. She tells
him he cannot call anymore; he then
concludes that there is some truth (
in the saying "Fair but false." But
behold, in a few more days, she sends
him word to call agaiD, he is now
haivnv in th? thnmrht that "Omnia

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.
