Court.
K . The June term of the Court of
i.
General Sessions for this county convened
here Monday.
I Judge R. C. Watts delivered an
elaborate and ihoughtful charge to
the grand jury instructing them as
to their duties.
Judge Watts has, by his impartial
rulings, courtesy and sound judgment,
won the respect and esteem of
the bar and the peo; le at large. His
prompt dispatch of the business of
the court has been marked and the
occasion of favorable comment.
The Solicitor gave out a number of
bills upon which the grand jury has
acted, and made its final report for
this term and were dismissed. The
following is the report:
To the Hon. R. C. Watts, Judge
Presiding:
We, the grand jury of Lexington
county, beg to make the following report.
We have examined and passed
upon all the bills handed us by the
Solicitor.
As we made an examination of the
poor house, jail and dispensary at the
February term of court, we did not
P-'
deem it necessary to do so again, but
have appointed a committee to make
a thorough examination of every
thing coming under our jurisdiction
Tind make a final report of same at
the September term of court.
As we are informed that the State
P constables, now in attendance up( n
' * court, are employed by the State and
pud by the same, we heartily recom- j
m?nd that they be not paid by the
county for their attendance upon j
court nor for mileage for the reason
#: the trivial nature of the cases
t ley have brought before the grand
jury.
?- * ' ' Tr _ _ a Al_ _
We tnana ms nonor anu me w
j?>licitor
for their kindness and courtesies
shown us.
Respectfully submitted,
S. O. Kamixer, Foreman.
The business thus far is as follows:
The first case tried was against
Henry Sheppard for violating the
dispensary law. The verdict was
guilty, as also in the case against
him for resisting arrest. He was
tried in his absence and hence no
sentence passed. This man is a
brother of the noted Bill Sheppard
of Supreme Court fame.
The case against Jas. A. Caughman
and W. B. Seay, with assault and
battery with intent to kill, was next in
order, and the verdict was in favor
of Seay but against Caughman who
gets nine months on the chain gang
or $100 fine.
C. L. and Sidney Epting were
convicted of assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature and
S ntenced to pay $25 each, or imprisonment
sixty days. Mr. Efird,
their attorney, gave notice of appeal
to the Supreme Court.
Eddy Holmes plead guilty to
house breaking and larceny and was
sentenced to six months on the chain
gang.
The Solicitor nol prossed the case

Barefoot charged with malicious
trespass.
In the case of the State against
J. L. JohnsoD, charged with breach
of trust, the grand jury returned no
bill.
The case against Silas Bonds, irdicted
for assault and battery was

the case against Alexander Marks,

and others, for similar charge, and
in the case against Lee Berry for
house breaking and larceny.
Ail day yesterday was consumed
in the trial of the case of the State
against W. Patrick Bowers, charged
w th solicitation of a felony. Messrs.
Meetze & Muller were of counsel
for the State. Mr. J. B. "Wingard
and Mr. Cole S. Blease appeared for
the defendant. The case was hotly
contested, but the verdict was guilty.
Mr. Bowers was sentenced to five
.
years in the penitentiary or S750

Mr. Blease, and Brown by Mr.

trid and acquitted.
Bogues as Convicts to Work Out
L;ssss Sustained by Theft.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Should a horse or fifty dollars be
stolen from you, it would be your
duty if possible, to find the rogue,
prosecute him and put him in the
penitentiary. This would be a
vindication of the law, and
the infliction of a deserved
punishment. Through the
fear of severe punishment, violations
of law are often stayed, and thus are
persons often unmolested in the possession
of that which is their own
But there is an equity in this that
has thus far been denied those who
have been so unfortunate as to suffer
' loss from theft, and they not only
lose the stolen property, but have to
sacrifice time and money to biing
the rogue to justice.
Putting the culprit in the peni
tentiary does not restore to you your
goods, nor their value, nor remunerate
you for the loss of your time,
trouble and money incident to his
conviction. In this suit convict
labor is furnished the State at your
expense. Neither the State or
county has the moral right to
p;ofit by your misfortunes, often the
result of a laxity in the laws or their
execution. Vou pay your taxes for
the protection of law, you lose the
stolen goods, your time and your
money. This is not right and the
law should be changed so as to not
only protect you but should restore
to you upon a equitable basis the
losses you have sustained. I think,
therefore, that the people would
favor a law that would restore to you
your losses from the earnings of the
convict and the law should make it
the duty of the presiding judge to
fix the amount of losses sustained by
you and at the end of every month
the penitentiary should pay to you
a stated amount until the amount of
your losses are fully returned to you.
The sentence of the court should be
such as to fully cover all losses by
the State, county and individual.
All who steal should be made to
1.^tVor mnef nav ?11 rlam
HUUVT liiCll kUCj ujuwv v.wm.
ages in full by hard labor in the
penitentiary. Make this the law and
stealing would be less frequent, and
convictions more sure, and unless
the rogue died or became unable to
work, the State, county or individual
would not suffer any loss from the
theft. J. H. Koon.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The picnic at the Steadman Mill j
was a very enjoyable one. There was j
an abundance of everything good to |
eat. I am satisfied that everybody j
enjoyed themselves. Mr. J. Walter j
Mitchell spoke to the audience there, j
and the young folks danced to !
amuse themselves and had good
music. There was one of the boys
who enjoyed the ride so much with j
his best girl that he let the horse eat j
up the bits and he had to get some ;
wire to fix them before he could get j
home.
Mr. Charlie Hall was accidently j
J shot by Mr. Henry Westmoreland j
last Sunday while fooling with his
pistol. The ball entered just above
the hip on right side and came out
about two inches from the back bone
on the same side. He is doing well
at this time.
Success to the Dispatch. T. S.

Death of Colonel McKissick.
Union, S. C., June the 8.?Col. I
G. McKissick died here today after a
lingering illness, age seventy years
and six months. He was lieutenant
colonel of the 7th cavalry during the
war and was gallant and heroic
throughout the struggle. Since the
war he has served his State well and
as a true son both in the legislature and
elswhere. He was elected to congress
in 1870, but was counted out by tie
republicans. He represented this
county twelve years in the legislature.
Two years ago he was elected major
general of Confederate veterans. Fe
was unflinching in his loyalty to the
Confederacy and his proudest claim
was that he was a Confederate soldier.

Judge Earle for Senator.
One of the political rumors current
is that Judge Joseph H. Earle would
be a candidate for the United States
Senator. No confirmation of the
story could be obtained, but the rumor
was generally talked of in political
circles. Should the Judge become a
candidate matters would become
greatly complicated and would add
further uncertainty as to the outcome.
Judge Earle is a kinsman of
Senator Irby and this lends doubt to
the rumors.
