When we went to press last week the trial was in progress in tbe case of the State vs. R W. McDaniel, for murder. Tbe case was given tbe jury about 9 p. m., and after remaining out all night, they returned a verdict of guilty of murder, witb recommendation to mercy. A mot ion for new trial was made and argued, but refused, and tbe life sentence imposed. Tbe defense decided not to carrj tbe case to tbe Supreme Court, and on Friday Capt. Ciay Roberts came over and conveyed Mr. McDamel to the btate Jrenuentiary, to enter upon ihe service of bis sentence, wbicb saje, "for whole term of the remainder of his natural life." Quite a number of his friends called at the jail aud bid him good bye. The next case was against Pat Dreber, colored, for killing his wife, which occurred at Lawiedale, S. C., about seven years ago. Pat made good his escape and has since lived in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. He returned to Aiken last fall, and was picked up by Mr Henry Howard, a State Constable, as a "suspicious character," and served a sentence on the chain gang, because Howard found a pistol on him. At the conclusion of this sentence, Sheriff Caughman met him and brought Pat here to jail. Pats character was well proven by good citizens of Lewiedale, and he was ahlv rlcfonrloH Ho Maiiora rianrnn R wv?jr VCVAVUWV* vj 1. iJ? VN W/4 g V A/ Timmerman and A. D. Martin, by appoinimeot of the court. The verdict was guilty with mercy and the sentence was for life, at hard labor in the Penitentiary. A reward of $100 was offered for the arrest and conviction of Pat. The final trial was against Jake Bowers and Elliott Lybrand, for burglary and assult and battery with intent to kill. The specific charge was that these negroes were breaking into the meat house of Jabez A Fiick in Saluda township, during January last, and that when Mr. Frick went out of his house to see after the racket, he was fired nnori.

To the Honorable J. C. Kiugh, preaidiog Judge for said county and State, for the February term of General Sessions' Court, 1903. We the Grand Jury tor said county and State beg leave to make this our presentment and recommendations: We have examined all bills banded us by the Solicitor and have returned the same with our findings thereon. Iq the presentment of our predecessors of last year we recommended that a pair of first class blood hounds be purchased for the use of the county, and they be kept at the county jail by our Sheriff. This recommendation seems to have been passed over and ignored. We think this recommendation should meet with the approval of our proper county authorities, for aB we see it, it is almost as necessary as the jail if aolf illOUil Taking into consideration the terrible condition of the weather for the past twamonths we think the Commissioners should be commended for the effort they have made in tryiDg to make passable the crossing of Twelve Mile creek along the road? leading from Lexington to the Depot. We think that it would 08 advisable that banisters should be placed along the causeway and recommend that the County Commissioners have this done in as practicable manner as possible. We think it would be advisable and cheaper to the county to have two free femes placed on Saluda river for the convenience of the travel I between the two sections of the c >unty, the location to be fixed by tDe County C immissionerp, and we so recommend. We are glad to say that from an examination of tne County Poor House and its surroundings that the name baa been kept in good con dition, and we commend Mr. Fulmer, the Steward thereof, for his close attention of duty. We have examined the Court House and Jail and find them in good repair. We have appointed as a special committee of our body, consisting of Geo D. Hayes, D M Drafts and H. L 0-wald, to examine tbe financai condition of tbe county, and tbe various (ffioes and liabilities of tbeii occupant-; and have employed T. 0 S urkie, E.-q, as an expert to aid tbem in tbis examination We are glad to commend our Com missioners for tbe step they have taken in purchasing road machiuery and stock for tbe purpose of putting our county roads in good condition. We understand tbat tbey have also purchased necessary tools to be given out to tbe various overseerers upon tbe different public roads of the county to work tbe roads with. This we think is very commendable in tbem. as it will save much costs and expense to the couufcy than by buying two or three o?fka and shovels at the time by retail prices. And we would suggest that we think it advisable to buy all necessary supplies by the bulk in order to save expense to the county. And in connection with this matter we recommend that they have constructed on the rear corner of the jail lot a suitable warehouse in which to store the supplies, &c., for the county. . Thanking the Court, Solicitor and officers thereof for courtesies shown us, we beg to submit this our report. Geo. D. Hayes, Foreman. Cures Bheumatisa aad Catarrh. ?Medicine Seat Free.
