Twenty-eight voters met in the court houeo about 5 o'.clock in the afternoon, and were called to order by T. 0. Robinson. Maj. Stewart was nominated and elected eairman, and 1. H1. G. McDaniel secretary. T. C. Robinson then read the call and explained that the door was open for all to join who would pledge them selves to support the nominees of the State ioformn conven tion. The follow Sing were enrolled nt the Pickens club: "J. T. Youngblood, W arren Boyd, J. E. -Parsons, George Ellis, J. T. Lewis, .1. A. Wood, 0. M. Gravely, E. G. Mc Daniel, J. H. 0. McDaniel, J M.

Nealv'. had taken~ him by3 surprise, and that in order that the club should be ena bled to veo intelligently) he thought that it was prtoper that he should ex. -plain to some extent his p~olitical situ tion: That he considered himself one of the oldest reformers of Pick ens county; that since the State con vention of 1886, which he attended in clolumbia, lhe had been an advo cate of retrenchment and economy in) the government, anid had been in fa vor of a general reduction in expenses, and of economy and ireformi. F'or two sears before his nomination, had been in favor of Ben Tlillman for Govern or. And that he how preferred Till nan for U. S. Senator in preference to Gen Butler. But for the second condition in the call for the organizatiou of reform clubs, he wvould not be entitled to be .come a member, for the reason'that 4e had voted a mixed ticket in the last election, that he had thus Voted for the reason that lie could not en dorse all the men and measures, that the reform muovenment hiad put forth and adopted. That he was now ready to do what ever lie might ho able for reform, in the way of an honest and economical administration for the wvelfarq of the people, and that lie thought unity and concert of action were the great lever powers to be used for the com-. mon good. And that if he should be the choice of the club for presiding officer lhe would cheerfuldly serve them to the best of his ability, He then declared thme club ready for business. J. J1. G. McDaniel was muado permanent secretary, and J1. M. Stewar-t was made vice-president, W. T. Bowven was nominated for treasurer by Maj. Boyd, and was uinanimously elected. Thel~ chair was authocrized to appoint an executive committee of five. After remarks by W. HI. Bryant and T U. R-obinson, ini explanmationi of thme duties of thme commnittee as to getting the reform strength enrolled, W.T.Biowen, W. H. Bryant, J. T. Youngblood, J. E. Par-sons, J. D. (Cureton, were appoint.. ed on the committee. On motion it wvas ordered that the next meeting be oin Saturday, the 28th, at 4 p. mn. The meeting then aldjourneO~h - Presentnaent. To the Honorable, the Court of Gen eral Sessions for Pickens Coumty: The Grand Jury Present: 1. That we have by a special com mittee, assisted by J. E. Boggs, an attorney of this bar, as an expert) made careful investigation of the office of the clerk, sheriff and probate judge) and find them well and neatly kept. We recommend that some ad ditional furniture for keeping the public records in the clerk's office be furnised and that book shelves be put in the fire-proof vault attached to the clerk'r, .ffice. 8. We have examined the county Qommissioners' office and find it well and properly kept. We notice the board has all the testimony in regard to roads recorded in the minute book. It seems to us this unnecessarily cumbers the record. We recommend that this practice be discontinued. 4. Reports on the auditor's and treasurer's office will be made in the next presentment, as the final settle. ment with the comptrollkr has not yet been had. So far as we have been able to investigate the treasurer's report is correct. 5. We have examined the bonds of the various county officers and find them good and sufficient. 6. All'the trial justices, except one, Trial Justice J. T. Prior, of Dacusville, presented their books, and we find then very well kept, and that they have promptly turned over all fines and costs which their books show they should have collected. 7. We find the uoroner's books well kept and inquests recorded up to date. * * 9. We call the attention of the county comnissioners to the bad con dition of the following public roads: Road from Stewart's mill down Keo. wee river to the Old Pickens bridge; from Six Mile church to R4)binson's bridge and also the bridge; from King's old store to Crow Creek. The attention of the county commissioners is called to the fact that there are complaints about the owners of lands and their tenants encroaching upon the public roads by cultivating the right of way and thereby making the roads too narrow. 10. We recommend that the salary of the trial justice of Dacusville be increased from 850.0-- to $10.00 per annum. We respectfully return our cordial thanks to the presiding Judge the solicitor and officers of court for many valuable courtesies. Respectfully submitted. B. J. JOHNSTON, 9th July 1894. Foreman.

Johnstoni was appointed tempo. rary foreman. HiS honor charged the jury briefly on the bills ready for their considera Lion, and it then retired. The contingent calendar was then passed up to the judge and it showved nothing 'for the court's attention. His honor remarked that it wvas the first clear calendar that had as y et Adams at the last camp-meeting. The court, at the request of L. E. Child ress, attorney, waited for awhile on a witness who wvas expected. In the meantime, R. A. Jackson, white, pleaded guilty to compound larceny in taking goods of P. B. Watson WVhen asked by the court if he had anything to stay why sentence should not be passed upon him, he said tha~t ho had been working for Mr. Watson about four years, and had no other source from which to get his supplies; that he was out and Mr. Watson do nied having any, and he thought he wvould help himself, and he hoped the court would be merciful. His sentence was one year in theo penitentlai'y at hard labor. In the case against Owen Green for assault and battery on John Littlejohn, the defendant was acquit. ted. Tihe case against Thomas Black, colored, for burglary ini the house of Mr. Logan, at Central, was then tried. The defendant wvas found guilty with a reconlrueiidation to the rnercy of the co'irt. Ho was sentended to five years at hard labor in the penitentiary, that being the minnimumn sentence. The rerkainder of the day was tspent mostly on the 6amp-meeting case against 1%d. Bradley. There is only one other case, that against Harleston Chapman for libel against Rev. D. C. Freemnan Ooie3,oy $inging.
