R$Q____ $7. C., Wesday! June 1, 18?O, SASS XEETIG. Attention Citizensof Newberrf Upon consultation, we make the an nouriement that there Mill be a ASs MEE-rlN OF THHE CITIZENS OF NEWEERRY, I.{PECTIVE OF COLOR, AT THE COURT H1orsE, ON TUE FIRST MONDAY, SALE DAY IN JUNE, for the purpose of appointing suitable delegates to attend the Convention to be^beld in Columbia on the 15th of June. All citizens of Newberry County, therefore, white and colored, Who ARE OPPOSED TO HI'H TAXATION, AND IN FAVOR 07 AN IONEST AND ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION OF TIE STATE GOVERN .MENT, are earnestly invited to meet, and take part in this first step of reform and purification. And need we urge upon the people to come out on this occasion ? need we enter into details of the great wrongs, the monstrous frauds now being perpetrated, and which by an earnest, determined, and united effort, can be checked ? It is scarcely necessary. The facts are apparent, and the result will be disastrous ruin if the people do not rise in their might and determine that this great iniquity shall no longer exi:t. Every thing that is held sacred is at stake ; the country is paralyzed with grievous taxation and unscrupu lous power. Crime of every descrip tion goes unpunished ; law and order are obsolete terms ; while bribery, corrup tion and theft, are the governing princi pIes in high places. And all this must be stopped, and it will be stopped. The day is dawning now, and the morning star of deliverance is already beginning to shine ; already is the Republican par ty showing signs of disintegration, and it is our time to take advantage of this favorable turn in the tide, and push for ward to success. The loaves and fishes have been too unequally divided, and hava been appropriated too prodigally, and those who have been shared out of a part of the spoils are jealous and in dignant, while the enormous drain through taxation is taking the scales from the eyes of all. Every man, white and black, pays for all this, and the poorer the man the beavier falls the bur den. It is the people's hard earned money which goes to fatten up the t,iev,s, and as long as they are permit ted to hold the reins, the tighter will they be drawn and the greater the de mand for me-py. Radical papers say "that the Republi can party has met with a signal defeat in the State of New York, and that they are completely demoralized, and which is~Te in part to the ln-capacity anti -wr ruption of its local leaders, and what Grant has done in New York, Scott is doing in South Carolina. The best thing for the South Garolina Radicals, is to pitch Scott overboard, and coalesce with the Reform party." This is a healthy ad mission. Remember the moass meeting on sale day-white and black-and all attend, and let the righ t men b-" appointed to at tend the Con'-e~..no... We republish below the resolutions adopted by the late Press Conference: 1. Resolved, That this conference re cognizes the legal right of all citizens of the State, irrespect-ive ofcolor, to suf frage. 2. Resolved, That this conference re cognizes the legal right of all the citi zens of the State, irrespective of color or former condition, to o1ice, subject alone to persona.1 qualification and fit ness 3. Resolved, That, in the judgment of this conference, a convention of the peo ple of the State, opposed to Radicalism and in favor of good and honest govern ment, should be held in the city of Co lumnbia, at some convenient time, for the purpose of nominatng a State ticket1 which, while assuring equal and exactI justice to all, will afford some degree of t security, prosperity, and good govern- e went. 4.

The last Spartan gives a glowing ant truthful description of the many advan tages which Spartanburg town and coun ty enjoy over other less favored regions and the Spartan editor is right in hold ing up to view the many beauties, ad vantages ard health giving means witl which that region is blessed. We know of no other so highly favored. It abound in mineral springs, and in better times before the evil days came which made il almost impossible for any one to t"ave for pleasure or health, was the resort o hundreds of people from all sections 01 the State. These watering places are again becoming fameus, and the decay and neglect which were to be seen and felt in all the places of accommodation, are giving way to repairs and improve mnents, so that the tired, invalid traveller can have the comfort, rest and attention that he so much needs. The principal place of resort is Glenn's, and we are glad to state that the hotel there has un dergone thorough tepair, and the cabins as well, and that the comfort of the guest will at all times be considered. It is in entirely new hands now, and will not b: kept as it was a season or two past. The traveller needs have no fear about being accommodated this summer. The water of Glenn's is unsurpassed in all cases of dvspepsia and liver complaints. The Cherokee or Martin Spring, about S miles above the town, and now the property of the Rev. R. G. Oliver, is an other fine spring. The hotel there is a commodious one and in fir.t rate order, as are also the cabins, and the attractions presented for the pleasure seeker, as well as the appliances for the sick and the af flicted are all that need be wished for. Our purpose in alluding to these two Springs is simply that those persons who contemplate summering it away from home inay be informed of the advantages ffered, and that in thus bringing the matter to their attention they may be enabled to determine where they shall go. lSoth places are easy of acoo8.W shall again revert to this subject.

Edited by William L Smith, LL. D. Published by the National Publishing Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. No book has been issued from the Ameri can Press for a long time that deserves so universal a circulation as this. Bible Dic tionaries have been prepared informeryears; some were meager and imperfect, and all have been outgrown. Calmet's was surpass. ed by Kitto's; Kitto's, and indeed.all others, have been far outrivaled by this of )r. Smith, of the London University, and the most emi nent Lexicographer of the English speaking world. Having finished this great work. Dr. S. then prepared a condensed edition (the work being in three massive octavo volumes, was too large and costly for the public generally), which shoald include all that is best adapted to the needs of Christian families and Sabbath School Teachers. This is the Work now re published~in this country, whose title we have given, and we do not hesitate to say that it should go into every dwelling where there is any desire to read and study the Bible intel ligently and with profit, Every person con nected with a Sabbath School, either as teacher or pupil, and every parent should, by all means, avail themselves of this incompara ble help. This edition is in th1e highest style of the art, largely illustrated with elegant wood and steel engravings an:l maps, painted in clear and beautiful type, and in every repect in harmony wi;h the high character and value of the work. No House surpasses this enter prising publishing firm in the artistic finish and elegance of their books. And in the issue of this, they have spared no pains norexpense. It has several special and essential merits be yond the English edition, and especially over any other reprint in this country. It con tains all the matter of the largest edition, ex cept num -rous disquisiions and critical notes on original Ilebrew and Greek terms, which are of no practical value to the general Eng lish student, and considerably more than twice the reading matter of the smaller book. With all its elegance and embellishments it is the cheapest edition. It is having a large and rapid sale, as nothing but straitened means can induce any wise parent or faithfnl teacher to decline the offer of an auxiliary for the understanding of the Scriptures. The Agent of this valuable work, Rev. L. R. Scruggs, will remain in town for a few days, and we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our citizens, and trust he will meet with- that success commensurate with the rare merits of the work.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, NEWBERRY COUNTY, MAY TERM, 1S70, The Grand Jury would resectfully report that they have entered !oh and discharged the duties devolved upon them to the best of their ability; and will make the following Presentment: They examined the Public Buildings, the Poor House and premises, and made diligent inquiry into the condition of the Public Highways and Bridges, and also into the conduct of the County Officers and Offices. They summoned before them various persons a ho were supposed to be able to testify in regard to the mal practice of certain officers of the County, and also in regard to the expenditures of the Public Funds, among which wit nesses were several of the Public Officers themselves; from whom we received a great deal of testimony and information as to the past and present management of the County aflairs. The Grand Jury take pleasure in stating that the Public Buildings, including the Court House, Jail and Poor House, are in much better repair than they expected to find them. There are, however, some repairs neces sary in the Jail to make it more safe for the coifinement of prisoners. They went through all the Public Offices and examined their condition, and report them mainly in good order. They found the Grand Jury Room, however, occu pied as a private office by one of the Trial Justices of the County, and learned that it had been thus occupied by suc cessive Magistrates for some years. They found in this Room many of the old Re cords of the County deposited there, as they were informed under an order of the Court some years ago, because there was not space for them in the Clerk's Office from whence they were taken. These Records were greatly exposed to waste and destruction, and were con tained in large wooden cases without locks, except as to one of them. It has been a place of public resort-and, in too many instances-by a class that do not appreciate the value of Public Records. This Room was provided for the sitting of the Grand Juries, and in their absence the Clerk of the Court was required to take charge of it for the obvious reason that he was bound for the Records there deposited. The Grand Jury recommend that an order be passed requiring the Clerk of the Court to take immediate possession of this Room and assume the responsibility of the safe keeping of the Public Records therein. The Grand Ju rv would have recommended the removal of these Records into the Clerk's Office, but they find that impracticable for want of space in that office. They think it probable that some of these Records have already been lost or destroyed. The Grand Jury recommend that the Clerk be not only ordered to take charge of this Room, but to rearrange the Records and cause all private property to be re moved from it at once. The Poor House is in good condition and the inmates comfortable. The plan tation connected therewith is said to be valuable, and large enough to support the present inmates if properly maraged. They would, however, present the prac tice which has heretofore prevailed, and is still pursued by the County Comnmis sioners, of boarding paupers in the fami lies of.their friends in various places in the Cotunty, at high rates, as botbi unpre edented and unwarranted either~ by.law (as they believe) or by usage, ahd dan gerous to the public interests. The Grand Jury would especially p're sent the practice, which has obtained, of converting the vestibule of the (Oourt House into a R?staurant, as an intolerable nuisance, which should be abated. The Grand Jury are fully satisfied that there has heen much malpracticeI with some of the Public Officers of the County, and particularly with the Corn-1 missioners and Trial Justices ; but they ire not in pnssession of such facts as will arrant them in recommending proceed ings to be commenced in regard to them, >r any of them, except in the case of Egan, which is in the possession of the Dourt already. They are convinced that, hile some of the actions of some of these I >flicers may have been prompted by sin-< ster and corrupt motives, the greater >art has been the result of ignorance and ncompetcnce. The Grand Jury bestowed nuch of their time to the examination of vitnesses in relation to the receipts and :xpenditures of the Public nioney, and :aled before them several of the officers nd many other persons who were in ormed on the subject, and with one ex :eption, all of them testified that the ublic funds of the County had beenI -astefully and extravagantly expended. r ['he proof was that more than thirteen c housand dollars hail been collected and a lisbursed already this year, leaving two ~ r three thousand dollars of outstanding ~ lebts still unpaid, and only about one tl housand dollars of the County Taxes to [< e collected to meet these claims The b reasurer reports that lhe has paid upon S lie orders of the Commissioners more C oney than he has collected up to this I' ime. The Grand Jury indulge the hope, hat the investigation just now closed, il have the elfect to correct many of b be errors that have characterized the si >anagement of the County affairs here- n fore. But if they are to be disappoint- o d, and these wasteful practices are at- s ampted to be continued, other proceed- C igs must be instituted, or the County y ill not only be impoverished and bank- - ipted, but the people will be crushed -ith Taxes to sustain such a system of arruption and extravagance, and all the idustrial pursuits of the Coonty will ag under its pernicious influences. The Grand Jury present the PublicF ighways in bad order, according to the A formation given them by various per- I >ns, and recommend that the County ommissioners have them put in proper ~pair as soon as the agricultural inter sts of the County will admit of it.

Rumor has it that 62 >me important arrangements have been br .ade to secure to the public increased tray- g ing facilities. A part of the beneficial re tlts of this meeting of the "railroad kings"'i ill be that the Greenville railroad will iortly put on a night train, in addition to fe t present day train. A new passenger de'-a >t house is about to be erected by the roads as imed, to be called the "Union Depot." It s a change much needed in this progressive la ~~pe CAnnorr J Acrn.-In the grand march of P~ emistry it would seem that but few agents a tve been discovered comparable to phenic th ~id. Day after day its uses obtain in the J idest possible range of economies. Its Ot edicinal, curative, detergent, disinfecting h id deodorizing properties are already estab- Sc lhed; and while it exerts a salutary infin- jfi ice upon warm-blooded animal life, and as Santidote against infectious cutaneous on >ions, it is destructive of animal and vege- the ble insect life. In a yord it.is "the most i -'fail insecticide known."co It enters taa,,1y into medicinal prepara- lac .1; n .fo r mulas toilet and laundry pa 3d ohcr powersand ashe a a made; white and colorless washes for houses, &c.; powders and liquids for the purpose of rendering water closets, urinals, stables, pigeon and foul houses, pure and frec from vermin and putrefactive tendencies, and ma nure heaps from decomposition and loss. Trees and plants are protected from all forms of insect and parasite; fermentation, decomposition and decay of meats and veg, etables are arrested, and those substances preserved in all their purity. Moths, roaches, flees, flies, mice. &c., and sporules and infu sorio, and visible and invisible animalcules of all orders are variously destroyed by the vapors of the acid, saponaceous compounds, powders, washes, &c. It supplies that long felt want of perfect vacuum, and by its agency millions of pounds of meat-the product of the immense herds of horned cattle, slaughtered in South America for tallow and hides alone-are now transported to populous communities, where it is in great demand. It is believed that the intelligent use of car bolic acid will eventually combat the active principles at work in the development of malaria and malignant diseases. We wish the very careful attention of our planting friends and others, to a reading of an able and concise article to be found on our outside, upon carbolic acid, from the pen of G. Emerson, M.D. Putting on our local specs the other day to sharpen the vision and aid in making up a paragraph or two for this department, we lighted on the following: All of the girls in town have taken to chew ing, and such an everlasting mastication nev er was known. We are glad, however, that it is not tobacco which finds its way into their little mouths, and yet it Is something quite as filthy--it is chewing gum. Attention girls, while we tell you where and how this gum is azade. "It is made at Poduck, Massachu ;etts, of gum arabic, rosin and coarse fat. Any kind of fat, even that of dead dogs, is ased in the manufacture, and when all the in ,redients are placed in boiling kettles, a mall quantity of the most nauseous liquid roam is put in to whiten it." Aside from its Ilthy ingredients, its an ugly habit. So pray [nit it. We next lit on the hungry man, who says ie has a stomach like an ostrich. This bird t is said can digest a ten-penny nail. If he 'as such a stomach he is to be pitied, and all ionest boarding house keepers should avoid tim. What board he pays we know not, one hing we do know that he finds it cheaper to >oard than keep house, and another thing, hat the man he boards with always has a tungry, troubled look. Our hungry man hiles away the hours between meals by go. ng from "grocery to groceri" and eating rackers, cheese, slips of raw bacon, etc. We eel concerned about him, his stomach is not ike other men's. The next thing noticed was the new brick difice just going up on the corner of Main ud another street. The great distance from he street to the door steps, struck us strange y. We inquired of an old gentleman stand ag near, who seemed to be particularly in erested in the laying of the brick, the reason rhy the doors were placed so high from the round. His reply was felicitous-said he ny fool might know the reason. We were ot quite satisfied then, but have since dis overed that to save a bad debt he had to rry on a lot of granite steps and was forced( a build high to bring them in. It cost seve al thousand of bricks to do this, but he willr ave the steps. Had he called us a fool we rould have employed a trial justice, but as e said "any fool" we could take no excep on. A&h, there's the beef bell. It rings every day ow. and sometimes twice. Every one has beef Ssell, and we have no oLdection to this, but we c o object to the manner in which it is ofered for d tie. In the first place, out of the dozen or more edtdlers. there is only one who cuts up a carcass ecently, and his visits are few and far between ~ hie others are butchers of very low degree, and c rhen a gentleman is tempted by the ringing of ze bell to go in quest of a nice steak or roast, ine times out of ten he leaves the place without etting what he wants, and is beside very much isgusted. We venture to say that no town with ny pretensions to respectability but can do bet :r than Newberry. 'The objections and causes of 0 sgust are, the meat is generally badly butch- . red, it is laid out in whc's bulk, and surrounded y dark-ies six and eight deep, swarms with flies, rid is cut in hunks of Indefinite size, and with- - at regard to the grain; a piece must be taken as is slivered and hacked of at which ever end ti re ignorant backist sees fit to whack away at, rone must wait in the noisy, dirty crowd and ci Eke a chance fifty to one for such a piece as fC sy be fancIed. N'othing but a positive beef ~ p ant takes some men there. We must pronounce & le mode intolerable. Why can't we have our TI ef cut up and dealt out with more decency. A d ranger in town must be struck with an exhibi- i an so disgusting. It looks doggish. Why can't d< e have a market, and a few considerate butch-. it a. Let the people reason together. The beef is it od, but the butchers are bad. a COURT iS Ovn!l-On Satarday terminated te of the most trying and disgraceful visita- or :ns that a respectable community has ever 0t ren called upon to endure. An infliction, su e contemplation of which was never enter-A ined, and the reality of which we suppose be 'uld scarcely have been conceived of by the th ot ardent and thorough reconstructionist atg 'all the new regime. Nine days of the C relve occupied in the session were con- ul med in the murder case, a case unparal- w) .cd almost in -the annals of murder, the or urder of an inoffensive, harmless old man, utally struck down in the dead of night ile on his round of duty as watchman at S e Newberry depot, and whose body was i rown out to become a feast to ravenous thi gs. A murder that was acknowledgedand ufessed by two of the prisoners, and pro n on at least three of the four. And to-day is ese arch criminals stand unconvicted, re- th anded to jail on a mis-trial! Thecre is no at fety for life or property, now that justice prostituted. The privilege of challenging e jury was carried to an extent which never R fore was known to this Court, and gave cat pain to the community; and a repeti mn of which it is hoped, will never again be tuessed. cn Beside the regular Jury, there were two bI nires issued of 31 each, and out of these b K newly summoned, 22 were found and : ought to town from the country, by the nstabuiary, of which latter an unusual force at is put on duty. Two days were taken up * challenging and picking a jury (three a9 [ite and nine colored,) which with a fo w exceptions were of the most degraded e id ignorant that could be found. This of urse was the object desired, and the con- wi mmation sought was obtained. One of the I st objectionable results is the immense cx- d nse entailed on an already overburdened ople, and which could have been saved by w riser course and without any sacrifice on s side of humanity. As before said, every n it and right chance should be given a pris- for er who is tried for his life, but there is a h ift beyond which it is dangerous to go. ciety demar'ds this. But we refrain from 7ther strictures of this particular case. ( 'o sum up the session, it was certainlyI e of the most disgraceful of its kind in B se latter days, when everything is running frit a riot and coxnfusiou. Confusion worse a I afounded was the order of the day, and a :k of propriety and dignity felt which was I inful to a degree. Numberless acts which se La would disgrace a Fejec Island Court, hnt which were to be looked for in s;ich a body. And who is to blame? hardly these people. During the progress of this trial it may safely be said that one half of the colored jurors slept throughout, while the other half were engaged in arcatching their heads with one hand, while the other was occupied in con veying broken fragments of bread and meat from greasy pockets to their mouths. It was common to hear the Sheriff call out, 'halloo Joe, or Jim or some other name, "wake up row, you've slept long enough, pay attcn tion to this." Such a jury, such a court, snch justice, the saints fcrbid shall ever be scen again. The business of the Court is as fullons: The State vs. John Singley, Lewis lierry and wife, and Steve Coleman, all colored indictment murder, 9 days trial, 93 jurors summoned, expense large but not known, guilt established-result, mis,trial. State vs. Moses Thompson-Assault with gun-guilty-sentence S10 and costs, or 5 months in Penitentiary. State vs. Sancho Chappell--grand larceny -guilty-sentence 12 months in penitentiary. State vs. Isai: h Kempson-petit larceny guilty-sentence Si and costs, or 30 days in County Jail. State vs. Drayton Douglass-grand larceny -guilty-(this case was tried March term '69, and sentence sealed) sentence read three years in penitentiary dating from time of trial. State vs. Abe Fair-Assault and battery not guilty. State vs. Mary Fair-Assault and battery -mis-trial. A large number of trifling cases of assault and battery, and petty larcenies, amounting to about 30. were thrown out by the grand jury, to whom all credit is due, and it would be well that an example so wise and proper be followed generally, that time, patience and money might be saved. A majority of suits ow attempted to be brought into the Courts are of the most trifling character, and should tot be entertained, and if once it is seen that much an infliction is not to be suffered it will in reat measure put a stop to this wholesale 'going to court" on the part of the colored )eople. As an instance of the petty charac .er of the matter brought before this jury )ne case was an indictment for stealing a art of a bed-sheet; no witness saw the theft, for were there any to prove it. A fragment )f sheet was found in possession of the party ndicted and on this an attempt was made to ;et into court. As sheets are much of a nuchness, and this sheet in particular was ntrinsically of little value, and the posses, ;ion of it by either party made but little dif erence, of course this enlightened jniy .ould see no ground for the anxious prosecu or to hang a hope to,and rendered no bill ac ordingly.
