The Lexington Dispatch j Burned April 25th; rebuilt July J 19. 1894. G. M. HARMANK Editor and Pub'isher. LEXINGTON, S. C., , WEDNESDAY. FEBlil'Al.Y 22. 1899. Both branches of the General As- j sembly have been very busy during ! the past week passing bills at a tie- ! mendous rate. These bills have | been rushed through without regard to their provisions and with reckless haste, the only idea seemed to be to , get as many through as quickly as i possible in the shortest time. Hasty ; lpmslation is dear at aDv pi ice and --O is generally the fruitful cause of much of the strife and dissatisfaction which is so prevalent among ; neighbors and friends in almost every community in the State. Many bills are allowed to go through during the closing days of the session, which, if time and thought had been given to their consideration they would never have been permitted to be placed upon the statute book. It seems to be the all absoibing idea among the members who are elected to make laws for the State that their highest obligation to their constituency is to ; see how short they can make the ses sions regardless of the consequences of impel feet legislation. One cl the evils of the practice of this idea is that a part of the time of one session is generally consumed in undoing the unwholesome work of its pre * decessor and rectifying Iheevilsgrowing out of the mistakes, while the other part is used in making more blunders for its successor to correct. It would be far better to make fewer "Maws, and let those few be the production of thoughtful and careful consideratioD, than to have so many bad and unwholesome ones. To do things right requires time, thought and intelligence and the result will give more satisfaction and prove more economical in the end. Patriotism and statesmanship both demand that only such laws that are conducive to the interest of the people of the whole State, with all the elements oT friction and unnecessary hardship eliminated, be passed. Let the passage of just and wholesome laws be the first consideration of the Legislator and time the second. > Senator Tillman is working hard for the interest of the people of this State. He has recently done some very effective woik in securing a large appropriation fcr opening the Congaree to navigation from Granby to Gervais street in Columbia, ?50,0.00 of wl i :h is made immi diatt 1^ available _ and the passage of a bill providing for rural maii delivery. While the Senator is faithfully working in the interest of his constituents in Wash iogtoo, maDy of those who will be most benefited by his services are sharpening their knives to knife him next year. This is an illustration of ' mans ingratitude to man. The improvement in the management of the dispensary at this place is so marked as to excite the approval of all law abiding and peace lovirg citizens cf every shade of political belief. It is now being conducted on strict business principles and in perfect accord with all the restric tions of the law. If the management continues as it has began we will have a practical demonstration of the moral influence of the dispensary system of controlling the sale of intoxicating liquors. The House naval committee Las struck a total on the naval appropiiation bill about to be reported, showing that it will carry something over $45,000,000, of which about $11,000,000 will be for the first year's appropriation on three new battleships, three armored cruisers and six small cruisers. ''War is hell" and i comes high. The Legislature has, under the j circumstances, wisely decided to let : the Dispensary law stand as it is Now if the enemies of the law will work as faithfully and as zealou.-ly I to have its restrictive clauses enforced as they have done to kill the law, a long step will be made toward absolute prohibition. The condition cf Governor Kilc-ibe is said to be very precarious. There are three physicians in attendance upon him. We sincerely hope that he will weather the storm ami be restored to health. The amount of fertilizers hauled by the railroads in the State this season is reported at about -0 percent less than hut year.

I The February term of the court 1 of General Sessions was convened ' here Monday morning with Hon. R ( C. Watts, Judge of the Fourth Cir- * cub, presiding. This makes the sec 1 oud term that Jud-je Watts has been J i . here. His charge to the grand jury was clear, comprehensive and able. All the grand jurors were present 1 and S. Pope Youngiuer was appointed foreman. When the petit jurors were called j all answered except Henry S. Assmann,who is reported sick, and Miles ! Mack, who is dead. E. H. Lowiy j was excused duiing the day. The first case to come up was that i against E J. Wallace, who has a rep- > utatiou already with the chain gang. This time he plead guilty to ''going in-Matthews A Bouknigbts store at Leesville, and taking three blankets, two pairs cf shoes,one suit of clothes, two pair pants, three suits of gent's clothing, of the value of"$31 For this he was given eighteen months on the force. Then up waltz George Cbupp, tf Southbound fame, to the bar of jus tice to plead guilty to the charge oi aking $10 from Sam and Aaron Belk, near Gaston. The reason Le was so succes&fui in the taking was that he held a pistol on one and a razor on the other, and commanded them to either ante up or have day light blown through them. Believing that the better part of wisdom was to ante, so they anted and made their loss known to the vigilant arms of the law. His bravery was rewarded with two years and eighteen months. He had a partner in the transaction but would not give his name. The only other case heard was that against Dianna Long and George Stoudemire, charged with arson, in burning the barn of Henry Leaphait on January fi.b last. The Couit j appointed Col. J. B ooks Wingard to defend them. The tiial consumed Tuesday and resulted in their ao quital. With this the Court of General Sessions came to au end, beiDg the sh >rtcst February term on record. All the other cases and matters were carried over, among them be ing the following: Win. Peele, privily stealing from the person ? Izlar and Bill Jefcoat, violating the dispensary law: Mose Leaphart, appeal from Magistrate's court, reversed; JtfT Jackson and Unas Hooker, adultery; W. W. Barton, forgery, defendant i failed to appeal; Az*riah Taylor, per i jury: Ned Sons and Jim Cook, mur der: George Duncan, breach of thu peace of a high and aggravated na lure. PRESENTMENT OK THE ORAM) JURY. South Carolina, Lexington County, ! Iu the Court of General Sessions. I To the Hon. the Circuit Court of said Covnty aud State: Your undersigued, as the Grand Jury for the year 1899, for said couDty, beg leave to submit this as ! our report at this February term of I Court: ! Fiist. We have passed upon all ; bills banded out to us aud have rei turned the same to the Solicitor. * Second: It has been brought to ' our attention that Geo. Sawyer, one of the Magistrates of our county, has I been collecting tines and costs in ? cases heard bv him as such MagisJ o trate, and in several instances, he has i failed to account to the county either : in whole or in part for the same. We j recommend that the Solicitor take steps to have the matter fully investigated, and in order to aid him as far as jt is in our power to do so. we herewith submit the names of certain | witnesses, some of whom have made i affidavits which affidavits we also } I submit herewith and endorsed in an envelope and made a part of this report. Tbiid. At the last September Court among its presentments the Grand Jury presented the bands of the County Treasurer and Sheriff as being insufficient and lecommended j that they be strengthened. Upon examination we find that the bunds have not been so strengthened and J upon a further examination of the ; Clerk of Court we find that lie, under i the order of Cant, served notices! personally upon both of said offieeis and took their receipts therefor upon the back of the original report of said Grand Jury. We most em phatically submit that tLis matter j should be atUndod to at once and as i the Grand Jury of the county, we must insist that such action be taken i as will carry into eff-ct the recommendation of September, 1808, re- j port or the parties be dealt with ac- i cording tc law. Fourth. We have been informed j that recently several escapes have i been made from the chain gaDg and i from what we understand carelessly. 1 We have made an dibit to get the j Supei visur before us but have failed, j We recommend that better cure be ; taken in the future and that the J proper parties be held responsible, j We must insist, as has alieody ben J i?(]iiest<d by thefoimer Grand Jury, | that a full statement of the costs and ' expenses (,-f maintaining the chain gang be furnished us by the County I Supervisor at < ver> term of the Court, I and fuither, a statoment of the woi k i ptifonn?d. We fed that it is our duty to make a full investigation of ill these matters the same as wo do J all the other branches of the county government and if our iejuests are not grauted without the inteiventiou tf the Court, then we will be compelled to ask the Court to pass such orders as will give us the information we ask for. Fifth. Iu the September, 1898, report of the Grand Jury, special attention was called to certain valuable papers IviDg loose in an old box in the Probate Court's office. As we ' am ^i.Iav fVvic o v* 1 rr\ rvr??*i Q r? f maf L'JUOlUCi I LliO C* 1 VI J lUJ^/w/l VHUV UJMV ter and of interest to tbe citizens of the count}*, and effecting titles to a great deal of the property in the county, we must insist that the former recommendation c! the Grand Jury be carried out, and at once. Sixth. At the last September Court, certain recommendations as to the plastering and other repairs to the court house were made by the Giand Jury, and upon examination we find that the same have been utterly ignored, and a further recommendation for the protection of the Treasurer was also made, which has been ignored. We do not wish to appear officious, but we must say, we think the recommendations of the Grand Juries should be somewhat respected, aod if it is not done, then we will insist upon the Court baviDg the matters investigated and the proper parties held responsible. M, Wo l.o vn gvm mi no/) the UC ?VLC/U. M V UU1 v V AUUJIUVM ?wv j*il and finl it k< pt in fairly good condition and the piisoners all satisfied with their treatment. We re commend some repairs be done to the cement floor where worn away, and the inside walls of the building be whitewashed, which we deem absolutely necessary to the good health of the inmates. We find that the water supply is very defective, sometimes there is not sufficient water for the sanitary necessities of the jail, and even at times, not at all This we submit i-bould not be, for it is certainly in juiious to the health of the prisoners and even the family of the Sheriff We find that the water is furnished by Mi. W. P. Roof at a good price and we recommend that unless a full amount necessary be furnished by him at all times Ihen the Sheriff re port the same to the Supervisor and that in the settlement with Mr. Roof such deficiency be deducted from his account for the same. Eighth. We have visited the pool house and find the inmates wel' cared for and satisfied with theii treatment. We are glad to see thai a good substantial dwelling has beer built which is used by the white ?a A?? KTT 4 Vizi ?A1 UUU IUC UJ IUC WA JiCt paupers. We recommend that the buildings be insured in some gooc reliable company. We further recommend that a barn be built suffi cieutly large to meet the demands of the food, &3., raised, and in doing so the lumber in the old building be used and also the lumber left over from building the new house as far as practical. Ninth: A great many complaints have been brought to us by the citi zens of the county from its different sections in reference to the bad cond tions of the road*, and while we can appreciate the difficult} ] he officers in charge of the same have had for the past two months owing to the exceedingly wet weather to keep the the same in good repair, still as the spring is upon us and the planting of crops are at hand, with the heavy hauling of fertilizers, we ask that this matter be attended to at once. We regret very much the physical condition of Solicitor Thurmond and sincerely hope that his full recovery be near at band and that he will be able to meet with U3 at our June term of court in his usual good health and genial spirits. Thanking the Court and. its officers for kindness shown us and commending YI . C M. Eiird for his able representation of the State's interests in the absence of the Solicitor, we beg to submit this as our repoit S. P. Younginer, Foreman. February 21, 1S80. . ..

The following compose the committee: Senators Hay and Livingston, and Representatives Stevenson, McDow and Patterson. We hope, as they no doubt will, hnd Col. Neal's books all correct. We have always regarded this affair as being one of more words than facts. Mr. Livingstone's bill to prevent the double pay of witnesses was killed. Mr. W J.

It provides that no money shall be paid to any one of for col lecting the claim of the S a'e against the United States advanced to prosecute the war of 1812, but that all shall be left to representatives from the State to push the bill through C_>n gress. Senator G W. Brown tried hard to get a bill through to (ncourage the manufacture of home made wine. The bill provided that the wine could be sold on the premises in quantities of not less than one gallon, net to be drunk on the premises. On a vote being taken it stood a tie, 17 to 17,. Lieutenant Governor MeSwee ney voted against the bill and killed it. Mr. Mower introduced an amendment that all money received from the fertilizer tax over 840,000 be used as an endowment for Clemson The amendment was finally rejected Mr. Mower's bill relating t) muni cipal elections in towns of less than 1,000 inhabitants was killed. The amended couLty government bill passed. The bill fixes the sala y of the supervisor of this county ai 8000 per annum. The free conference committee re ported on the bill to organize ih term of the public schools in the dispensary funds for the schools The report, which is a substitute bill, provides that the free publicschools be kept open for at least three months; that the comptrollei general in determining whether any deficiency exists in any school dis tllCr, SUttli JLUtt&C U19 camuaic u^j.ju the basis of the sum of $75 for ex penses of such term of three months, and the defit.ency shall be made up from the dispensary funds. After the deficiency of the school is raised to $75, the remainder of the dispensary pr. fi s shall be expended for the public schools per capita of school population. Five thousand dollars is to be used for institutions for public school teachers. Spec king to this bill, Mr. Sbarpe said that he was not afraid of the constitutionality of the bill. He thought it a good bill. He thought I teachers ought to pay for their own education, and opposed the $5,000 item fur teachers' it stitute. The vote was theu taken, and the bill passed by a vote of 81 to 22. The Senate notified the House that it hud killed the following bill?: The cue to eatibllsh au inspection c.f oils: Mr. Mean's fire insurance bill: the bill to amend the "new county" law as to settlement of disputes; and the bill to extend the time for the payment of commutation taxes.
