Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, April 10, 1875. The grand jury, in their recent report to the Court, gave & satisfactory account of the condition of the public offices of the county. The different officials were commended for the correctness and neatness with which their books and papers were kept. The representation of the condition of the Poor House by the grand jury was favorable. The paupers are well cared for; the able-bodied among them are required to work on the farm, ana *1 1* rpl are, consequently, sen-supporuug. xue wuneu | considerably outnumber tne colored element at this institution. The grand jury recommend that a petition be drawn up and signed by tax-payere, requesting the repeal by the Legislature of the law providing for the levy of a tax for the support of the families of those who were killea for the sake of their political opinions. The grand jury stated that in their opinion, based upon an examination of the facta in the case, they did not believe that any body was killed in Chester county during the ku klux excitement on account of their political opinions, and that therefore the law providing for the levy of a tax for the support of the families of those alleged to be so killed is unjust and oppressive, and should be repealed. The presiding judge remarked, in replying to the recommendation of the grand jury, that he had no doubt that if a petition was drawn, signed and forwarded to the Legislature at the next session, requesting the repeal of the obnoxious law, with all the evidence going to substantiate the declaration of the grand jury that no persons were killed in the countv because of their political opinions, that body would take favorable action in the matter. The grand jury reported the fact that the amount, eighteen hundred dollars, appropriated by law for the payment of Court expenses in Chester county during the year 1876, was exhausted, and that a deficiency of $3,500 will exist at the close of the present year. They also reported that the expenses incurred by the September term of the Court last year were still unpaid. The people are not pleased with the work accomplished at the late sitting of the Court of General Sessions. In their opinion the beneficial results are by no means in proportion to the large expenditure of money incurred by the county in holding the Court A notorious gang of cotton thieves, who richly deserved imprisonment in the Penitentiary for years, were acquitted. And upon the head of no guilty person has the crime of issuing fraudulent school certificates as yet been fixed. Crime and corruption received no check, and will doubtless stalk more boldly and defiantly throughout the county than ever. The friends of the temperance cause at this place have thrown their banner to the breeze, and seem determined to keep it waving. They do this in spite of the overwhelming majority who are intemperately inclined, or, in other words, who find a little whisky in their water to be extremely palatable. On Wednesday evening, 5th instant, a large number of ladies and gentlemen were assembled in Temperance Hall to witness the installation of officers, and hear an address from the orator of it. :? r?? tm? ? lUfcJ OCCUSIOU, JCVeV. J.I1UUUU5 iUULUCli. Augmilation honors were conferred upon the following gentlemen: W. H. Witherow, W. P.; E. Kain, W. A.; W. I. Clawson, Jr., R. S.; W. H. Rosborough, A. R. S.; R. H. Cousar, F. S.; W. T. D. Cousar, Treasurer; J. K. Marshall, Con.; H. C. Rothrock, A. C.; B. F. Dixo?, I. S. and T. W. Clawson, Jr., O. S. Retf. Mr. Mitchell's address, which it was not my good fortune to hear, is said to have been excelleut. If my information be correct, he estimated the amount of money spent in ardent spirits in this town alone to be $150,000 annually. He gave illustrations from his own knowledge and observation of tho lftnynfahlp. consequences of intemperance, lhe fruits of the installation services and address were the expressions of an intention on the part of several to become members of the temperance order. Moreover, laborers in the temperance vineyard are not confined to the sterner sex. Noble women are bending their Efforts to promote the good cause. At the next meeting a number of ladies will join the order, and theL* joining will doubtless be followed by that of other sisters. Lewis' Turn Out, in this county, has embarked upon the stormy waters of a municipality. The General Assembly, at its recent session, enacted a bill providing for the incorporation of this place. In accordance with the provisions of the act, granting a charter, an election was recently held, and the following persons invested with municipal authority : George Alexander, Intendant, and Samuel McCaha, W. ?. Kidd, Solomon Gibbs and Thomas Woodburn, Wardens. The last two are colored, and will be the representatives of that element of the population. All imaginable prosperity to the new and neighboring town 1 May her proportions contin ue to widen until she will one day assume all the proportions of a magnificent city. The Republicans of this precinct held a meeting in the Court House on Friday for the purpose of electing delegates to the County Convention that assembled on the following day. D. I. Walker was chosen chairman of the meeting, which, from beginning to end, was marked with the ordinary features of Republican gatherings at this place, confusion and turmoil. The Ynonm fhot.inn prevailed over the Mackeyites, the strength of the latter being less than that of a corporal's guard, j The following delegates were elected : D. I. Walker, John Lee, Addison Walker, C. C. Macoy, Abner Holly, B. G. Yocom, John j Tims, Willis Blackwell, Alexander Rosborough, Simpson Lewis and Charles Sims. A j caucus of the leaders was held a day or so be-1 fore the meeting, at which everything of con-! sequence was determined upon. On Saturday morning the County Conven- ; tion, composed of delegates from the different j voting precincts, assembled in the Court! House for the purpose of electing delegates to ! the State Republican Convention that meets ' in Columbia to-morrow. The first business j in order was the election of a temporary I chairman, which was promptly disposed of by 1 selecting John Lee, ex-Senator and present1 postmaster, to fill the position. A motion for the appointment of a committee on credentials was adopted. Upon the retirement of the committee to another room with the view of consultation, the time of the Convention was spent in listening to harangues from the various delegates. Willis Blackwell, and ? Lowrie, both colored, orated extensively, but | their remarks were so disconnected that an ! infAllant nvfi?or?t?^inorr flfrflnarfh WflQ rP illl/CHW 1/ W* VAViaviUlUHl J OV* VU^WM I?t*v V quired to comprehend their object and signifi- : cance. The frequent interruptions these speakers met with, manifested the weariness of the delegates with their orations. The committee reported favorably upon the credentials of the delegates present, and the Convention then proceed to the election of j a permanent chairman, which resulted in the I election of John Lee. C. C. Macoy was chosen Secretary. The anti-Mackey element t ruled the Convention. The delegates elected to represent the Republicans or Chester in the State Republican Convention were C. C. Macoy, D. I. Walker and James White. The meeting was not quite so tumultuous as some preceding Republican gatherings at this place. The Stonewall Fire Company, with their engine, appeared on Main street on Friday afternoon, and presented, as they always do, 1 an attractive appearance. Some time was spent by them in performing feats known to firemen. A false alarm of fire was purposely raised, and in a moment they were hastening to the scene of conflagration, where they quickly arrived, and in the shortest possible ! space of time were pouring a stream of water j upon the imaginary flames. A real fire would have succumbed in shame to thestream showered upon it with such suddenness. The Company tested the elevating capacity of the J new hose recently presented by the town authorities. The result was quite satisfactory? the stream reaching an altitude of about ninety feet. 1 The Hook and Ladder Fire Company paraded on Saturday afternoon. They made an exhibition of their skill and promptness in placing and mounting ladders. The entertainment given by the ladies of Lewisville on Thursday evening was a great success, theatrically and financially. The amateur performers rendered their parts well. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was excellent, and was listened to with great ; pleasure by the audience. The receipts of the evening amounted to about $50, which will be appropriated to the missionary fund. Dr. A. H. Davega, President of the Ches- I ter and Lenoir Railroad, returned on Saturday from a flying visit to Atlanta and Richmond. He has succeeded in making very satisfactory freight arrangements with the railroad magnates of those cities. The pastoral relations of Rev. A. F. Dickson with the Presbyterian Church of this place, will not terminate until the 1st of October, unless it is his desire to sever them before that time. Qui. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. MORE ABOUT THE HARD TIMES. Mr. Editor : I have read in the papers, recently ^several articles relative to the hard times, and the causes thereof. If you will give me a small space in the Enquirer, I will give my opinion on the matter. First?Unwise legislation and dishonesty ! is one cause of the times being hard. , Second?Instead of properly using the benefits afforded by the lien law asA relief to our j embarrassed people, the farmers abused the i law by extending their credit too far in making purchases at exorbitant prices. < Third?Depending too much upon hired i labor and not doing enough themselves, is an- j other cause of the hard times. The policy of raising too much cotton and i not enough of grain, or raising too much grain and too little cotton, will not, in my opinion, affect the matter; but it is the cost overbalancing the profit that does the mischief. And now let me tell the people a secret If the white men and women, old and young; the black men and women, old and young, will go to work and stick to it faithfully and diligently, using the necessary economy, our country will soon be in a prosperous condition. Observer. _ > Gratuitous Advice.?This species of advice is not always acceptable, but doubtless in many instances much benefit would be derived were it promptly acted upon. No section of the country is exempt from disease and many regions has its "ills that flesh is heir to." To know the best means of combatting this common enemy, with the least injury to our pock- ' ets and tastes, is certainly a great advantage. At this season we must expect Torpid Liver, congested spleen, vitiated bile and inactive bowels, and all prudent persons should supply , themselves with Tutt's Liver Pills, which , will stimulate the liver, relieve the engorged spleen, determine a healthy flow of bile,-thus regulating the bowels and causing all unhealthy secretions to pass off in a natural manner. Remember that "an ounce of pre- 1 "ontioo in wnrth mnrfi than a TWlUnd of CUFe." ' When There is a Weakness of the Throat or Lungs, a neglected Cold may be all that is required to establish a lingering : and generally fatal disease. Even where there 1 is no special tendency to Bronchial or Pulmonary trouble, a severe Cald, left to take care of itself, often plants the seeds of a serious complaint, sure to be developed by subsequent indiscretions. Take especial care of your health, therefore, from the very earliest ! symptoms of a Cough or Cold, by prudently resorting to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, which soothe and strengthen the bronchial tubes, allay inflammation, and cleanse them and the lungs of all irritating substances.

There is no medicine prescribed by physicians, ' or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtue as Boschee's | German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast, Consumption or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that * any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for { 10 cents and try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents.
