Last Snnday was the birthday of
General Robert E. Lee, the noted
Confederate General. The day bas
been set apart to commemorate the
memories of General Lee, and "Stone
wall" Jackson, another stalwart
Southern Soldier.
An exchange remarks:
"And on Sunday, when Southern
heads and hearts were bowed in tender
memory of two of the South's
greatest heroes, tuey were not alons
Throughout the North, East and West
there were other hearts and heads
bowed in respectful homage to the
aaeoioiy of Lee and Jackson, for their
places in America's Hall of Fame, and
on the honor roil of this great country
are brightly blazaned to the whole
world, for the whole country, all sections
alike, realize that Lee and Jack
aoa were, first of all Americans."

Solicitor Timmerman has caused
: warrants to be issued for the arrest
-of several witnesses in cases which
were to have been heard at the recent
<aiininal court, and when called, failed
to appear. These witnesses were under
bond to appear and their failure to appearootomy
make the bondmen iiaible
ifor the amount of the bond but places
the witnesses in contempt of court.
Mr. Timmerman is cn the right track
wad is,is to hoped that he can succeed
in making witnesses prompt'in attend-1
aoce upon ooort. It is a well established
tact that the prompt dispatch of
the business of the conrt is hampered
hytbedalitorinees of witnesses and this
is a growing evil as it has gone from
tad hp worse- Toe evil is also a
costly one to the taxpayers of the
county, and if there is a remedy for
- -the evil it shonid be applied.

The law requiring all liquor?, wi? es
and beer seized by the sheriff or State
constabulary from illicit dealers to be
destroyed is, to say the least, a silly
one. The State of Sooth Carolina is
in the liquor business* whether its sale
"is.placed-in the hands of the coanty
having-a dispensary or in the hands
of the Devil, matters not, the fact
remains that the State is in the bnsi'Bess
and through its agents it bays
and sells intoxicating liquors, hence,
is it not a more business-like proposition,
instead o wasting the whiskey
seized by the officers of the law a9 is

We are having very warm weather
for the past week.
We are sorry to know that Mrs.
Henry Price has been very ill for the
past few days, but glad to learn that
she is some better now.
We ar<=> glad to know that Mr. Hamp
Lybrand is able to be oat again.
We are glad to know that Mr. and
Mrs. A. J. Long are able to be out
again.
Mr. D. L. Taylor will soon have his
houso completed,
Mr Reubiu Taylor was in Leesville
Saturday.
Mr. Cally Taylor was the guest of
his brother Saturday night.
Mr. Olaodie Taylor and his brother,
Oallie, spent a short while in Leesviile
Friday.
Times had got somewhat quiet until
the power house got in full bloom on
the old Augusta and Charleston road.
We have a few neoDle that caL. rule
the county or it looks that way anyhow,
but the Great Ruler is over and
above all, who is Jesus Christ, the Son
of God. If that would have been a
ehuroh house they would not have got
the members in the course of ten
years as they have members in the
power plant, and if people can vote
out whiskey from being sold in a dis-v
pensary and get a dry country, the
people ought to think that we conld do
without the power plant. Whiskey
i9 carrying more young and old men
to the graveyaid than buck shot.
Young men and young women and old
men and old wemen, if you never
have prayed before pray for God to
move Satan'9 power plants out of our
o?nrtv fnr if, is in the neighborhood
of about eight churches. We do not
know who are the Deacons of these
churches but we know tbey have
members who patronize the power
house. It is horrible to think of the
curse of drink. It will drag mother's
boys estray in front of their eyes; it
causes dear mother to go to her grave
in sorrow and shame, save our dear
bo} s from tne curse of strong drink.
There are angels hovering around,

organized by the appointment of I
L. Lybrand as foreman and the a
ministering of the proper oath ar
the charging of all the members of th
body with the responsibilities ai
daties pertaining to the office of
Grand Juror.
After the completi 3D of the orgar

Judge, the Hon. Frank Gary, delive
ed\>ur body a brief, dear aod impre
sive charge, as to oar powers, resj>o
sibilities, daties and obligations as
grand juryWe
have handed as by the court
number of bills of indictment, all
which we have fully investigated ai
carefallv considered, and have retnr
ed each and every bill cf indictme
to the conrt with our findings endorse
thereon.
We have inspected the county jj
and find that the same is well ke
and in good conditon.
We have appointed a committee

report on the condition of the Coun
Poor House and Farm. This cor
mittee has visited the County Po
House within th past few days ai
report that the inmates are well car
for and that they are satisfied wi
the treasment and attention givi
them by the officers in charge. "V
find that this institution needs a gc<
milch cow, as the cow now on t]
county farm is in bad condition ai
unfit for milk, and recommend th
the proper officers secure a good cc
as soon as practicable.
We do not know whether or not tl
buildings at the County Poor hone
are insured, and if they are not i
sured, we recommeod that the Coun
| Supervisor have all of said buildin
insured as from reports made to ns
seems that they are in great danger
being burned. We also recotmriei
that the pasture be enlarged and th
the farm be furnished with mere bo
as there is only one hog on the fai
at present.
We recommend that the roads a;
bridges of the County be looked aft
at once, as it is reported to us th
some roads and bridges within o
County are in a dangerous conditii
some cannot be traveled by the po
lie at all. Immediate attention shou
be given to such roads and bridges
aro unfit to traveling over.
Numerous reports have reached
that several so called Social Clubs a
being operated at different points
our County, and that none of the
are being run according to law. V
i.i r : jt 4.1 a. ^ n
tnereiore recommenu mai an su<
clubs or places of resort where alcobc
ic 1 qnorsare sold be closed and th
the party or parties operating eau
be prosecuted.
Because of the lack of time at th
term of Court we will not be able 1
inspect the offices of the County c
ficerg, but all sucb offices will be du
and properly examined and oar repo
made at a later term of the Court i
General Sessions.
Wo wish to express our appreciatioi
for the favors and courtesies shown \
by the Presiding Judge and othi
court officials at this term of cour
