???? The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 21.1907. Bepoit of Grand Jury August 1907 Term of Court. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Lexington. To his Honor Judge Charles G. Dantzler, Presiding Judge, August 1907 term of Court for Lexington County. We the Grand Jury for Lexington county respectfully report that? We have passed on all the bills handed to us by the Solicitor and returned the same to the court with our findings thereon. That we have carefully examined the books kept by the county officers and find them neatly and correctly kept. The financial affairs of the county are in a prosperous condition. The treasurer now has on hand sufficient funds to pay all expenses of the county until the tax books open. Iti this connection we are gratified to find that the amount spent on the free schools of the county exceeds by several thousand dollars the expense incured for all other county purposes. The affairs of the county dispensary are in excellent condition. The books of the county board of control are neatly and accurately kept. We are glad to find that there is but one indictment in the county^for the violation of the dispensary law, and the prevailing sentiment among the people of the county is strongly in favor of the proper enforcement of the law as is evidenced by this one indictment. ^1 r~ 4-1%./vAonniori Ktr YY C 1I11U uiau bUC UU1V/CO vv/i/upvu Kfj the county auditor and treasurer, respectively are entirely too small for the proper dispatch of business, and we recommend that these officers be assigned larger offices. We find also that these offices are without vaults for.the safe keeping of the records of .these offices and the cash that may be on hand. It is highly important that the records of these offices should be safeguarded, and we recommend that these offices be provided with vaults for the preservation of the records. There is a pressing necessity for _ 1 a 1? auuiuimai wawji UlUOCbO IU u;uucv;utvu with the court house for the use of jurors and the county officers, and we recommend that the supervisor erect as many as two other closets at such place or places inside or outside the court house, as may seem to him best. The roads of the county are far from the condition in which we should like to see them. Lexington county is one of the most prosperous counties in the State, bnt in the matter of road building she is far behind many Of her less prosperous sister counties. The rapid progress of the county in a .material and industrial way makes jgQod roads almost a necessity. To the end that our county may begin ^the work of building good roads, we reeqsmmend that our representatives inthe general assembly levy at least a one mill tax for general road imprdveifient. We recommend that at least four free ferries be established across the Saluda river for the accommodation of the residents of the Dutch Fork section. We find the poor house and chaingang in excellent shape, but would recommend that the county supervisor supply the gang with better tents. We recommend that the supervisor pay out of his contingent fund or any other fund that may be available the sum of $20, to supplement the sum of $20 now provided for by law to pay an expert for the grand jury. j We present James D. Shealey for rape, and name as witnesses?Maggie Hayes, Dave Kelly, Bob Langford and Sofie Kelly. We present Milledge Eargle for rape, and name as witnesses?Margaret Chapin, Nancy Chapman and Lula Fuller, We wish to extend to his Honor, the presiding judge, the Solicitor and the other officers of the court our thanks for the many courtesies extended to us. Respectfully submitted, * John Bell Towill, Foreman. Ten Tears in Bed "For ten years I was confined to my bed with disease of my kidneys," writes R. A. Gray, J. P. of Oakville, Ind. ' It was so severe that I could not move part of the time. I consulted the very best medical skill available, but could get no relief until Foley's Kidney Cure wftf? recommended to me. It has been a Godsend to me." Derrick's Drug Store. Gilbert Items. Very unfavorably weather for pulling fodder. Hard rains nearly every day. Young corn is looking fine. Cotton is not doing well. Peas are not so good as might be. Improvement is going on. A new firm will open a line of general merchandise in a few days. The old stores are filling up every possible space and look forward to a more extensive trade than ever. Many of our people are away attending court this week. It seems that court has become such an extensive affair that more courts may be preferable.!?) r Rev. Wessinger and Mr. P. E. Amick attended the funeral of their ^ aunt, Mrs. Rob Frick, at Chapin, Mon- j day. Mrs. Frick was a true Christian woman, and leaves a most worthy j example to be followed. Our sym- } pathy goes out to the bereaved ones. . We were much grieved at the , peculiar sad bereavement that came ] to Mr. and Mrs. Sam. Mundy's family - yesterday evening. Rumor says that ] his little son with other boys was ] fishing, a thunder storm came up and 1 perhaps he became tightened in crossing the creek and fell in and drowned. , Mr. Mundy was away from his home at the time. This occurred in the Cedar Grove section. Rev. Inabinet has a series of meet- j ings going on at night in the M. E. ( church. He is a sincere preacher, deeply feeling the sacred duty of de- j claring the truth its purity. We trust that his labors will be greatly blessed.

Rock, and his accomplished daughter, Miss Gussie, were visiting in this section last Saturday and Sunday. The Temperance picnic, which was held at Chapin on Wednesday of last week, was largely attended. A number of prominent speakers addressed the audience. Among them we mention Mr. J. E. Brunson, who held the crowd for quite a while on the subject of prohibition. The Sunday school convention at 1 St. Peter's church on Friday and Sat- 1 urday of last week was largely attended. Inspite of the threatening weather the church, with its large galleries, was filled to overflowing on Saturday. During the convention sermons were preached as follows: On Friday by Rev. E. L. Lybrand; < Saturday by Rev. J. H. Wilson; Sun- i day by Rev. B. D. Wessinger. We 1 hnnft that mnrVh cood was aoeom- i plished. A FRIEND. Aug. 18.

Strew the fertilizer, ( something over a hundred pounds. 3 Then bedded with a turning plow. I s then raked off the rows nearly level, i set out in a dry time and watered them. They certainly did grow fast. It rained so much afterwards that I s never hoed them but twice and had ^ them plowed three times. I have f divided cabbage with my neighbors I and fed the green leaves to my pigs and cow. I have sold ?41.20 worth. My expenses have been as follows: ?

A week or so ago Mr. James Sheaey> of this section, was traveling the road near the Lexington Fair grounds, i bird hunter shot at a bird and one the shot struck Mr. Shealey on the hand. Fortunately he was not injured to a great extent, but this was a narrow escape. Bird hunters* should be more careful when shooting near the public highways. Miss Annie Shealy, formerly of this section but now a resident of Newberry, visited relatives in this community last week. A little more than a week ago Mr. Silas p.
