Court l'roLCv-Jitij?*.
When we closed our Corni proceed
ings last Wednesday tin: trial of Henry
Washington, W ill Tinner and Pink
Gumbrell, lim ?- negroes charged with
murdering one of l heir own color near
Belton, had just commenced and con
sumed thc morning session. Tlie jury
-prut tin- afternoon and night in their
room, and on Thursday morning an
nounced thud they could not agree on
a verdict .and a mistrial was the result.
Tin- Grand Jury made tile following
presentment on Wednesday morning
and was discharged :
To the Honorable Jumos Aldrich,
Presiding Judge : Wc, thc Grund Jury,
respectfully submit the following as
our third and final report for thc year
WOO :
We have passed on all hills of indict
ment handed us by the Solicitor. We
notice that the basement of the Court
House, which is a great convenience to
ihe general public of our County, has
been and is now abused. It is Doing
misused as a place for drinking liquor,
'. ile and obscene language and swear
ing is allowed there. Tho windows of
saul basement open on thc sidewalks
of one of thc most used thoroughfares
of tho city of Anderson where ladies
are continually passing and this ob
scene language can reach their ears.
We recommend that the proper au
thorities post placards in said basement
forbidding the drinking of liquor
therein or the use of spoken or written
obscene language and swearing in said
basement and that the proper authori
ties enforce said regulations.
Wc liavo visited tho County Jail in a
body and wish to commend it. ns a mat
ter of public pride to the County, lt
isa model of convenience, with proper
separation for both sexes and races,
and seems to us complete in such sani
tary arrangements as ventilation, clos
ets and bot and cold baths, lt is per
fectly secure as well from inside break
ing as from outside invasion and with
it? new steel cells is tts nearly mob
proof as possible.
A special committee was appointed
by us at our last tenn to visit ami
inspect all the convict camps in our
County. We are pleased to report that
this committee reports to us that said
convict camps .are conducted m a
humane and satisfactory manner.
The Supervisor of our County has
followed our previous recommenda
tions looking forward to permanent
improvements on our public roads, ami
we commend the work of our Super
visor in grading our public roads with
the view to placing permanent im
provements thereon.
There is a great deal of waste lands
in our County due to improper drain
age. We are pleased to know that
there are prospects of tin; passage of a
drainage law which will not only re
call much waste lands but improve the
health of the communities contiguous
thereto.
We do not mean to cast any reflection
on the dispens?is who we think are
trying to enforce the dispensary law,
but we are informed that minors timi
men of known intemperate habits pro
cure liquors through others contrary to
law, and we urge a more rigid enforce
ment of tht; dispensary law in this
respect..
We wish to herein acknowledge the
(faithful services of Solicitor Ansel,
.who has proven a faithful and emelen,
officer for the twelve years be bas been
our Solicitor. He luis discharged the
duties of his position in a manner that
does honor to himself anti reflects
credit upon the people who have so
long required his services. Upon this
Iiis last Court with usas our Solicitor
we thank him for courteous assistance
in this anti former courts and wish for
him a continued prosperous and happy
lil'?'.
Wo tender our thanks to the Court
and its officers for courtesies extended
to us during the present session and we
wish to especially thank your Honor
for the wise and courteous instructions
given to aid us in the discharge of our
duties.
We now respectfully beg to bc dis
charged. L. E. CAMI'UKI.L,
Foreman.

Mic ?ld Stone Church.
iltlHoy I iitclli'jt n< rr : lu tho southeast
coin?) ol' OcoilCC County ?ind :i mile
und n half i rom (Jletnson College, there
stands the Old Stone Church, a building
unique in its structure und mound
which ave entwined thc ineinorics of
more than u century. It was originally
called Hopewell,but latterly that name,
is forgotten and ".Stone Church" is thc
only name it is now known by. The,
building is ni" rough stone collected
nearby, built up square, the tool'and
gables being ot' wood, lt is about fifty
feet long hy thirty wide, and tho walls
some eighteen feet high, lu the north
west ? IM lui ami aboul two and a hali'
feet fioni the ground there is ono stone
a little smoother and larger than its
fellows, ?'herein is carved in quaint
old ligures, now dun with age, 1794.
Could these stones speak thev would
tell us that they were laid in place and
cemented there by John Husk, a sturdy,
stalwart Irishman, wlu.se son after
wards represented the gioat Slate of
Texas in the United Stairs Senate.
They would tell us also ol tho Ander
sons, the Pickens, the Calhouns, the
KeeseH, tho Cherrys and many other,
illustrious names who had worshipped
within those sacred walls in the days'
*' t- r,i i ,_....1.1 ,i| _. ,.
UL llMJg Ugt>. ?.HC/ WOUlIt lOi* tin,
moreover, of the grand preachers wh/>
had, at different, times tor a hundi d
years, proclaimed the "glad tidings bf
great joy" from its lofty pulpit.
This ancient edifice, while originally
a Presbyterian Church, is no longer
used by that denomination exclusively,
the organization wliich formerly ex
isted herc, having been transferred to
Pendleton. Preaching services are had
here occasionally by different denomi
nations. .Sometimes a Union Sabbath
School is kept up. Notwithstanding
the interest which this old Church
awakens, probnbly there is even moro
attractions in the city of the dead
hardby. Here lie the dead of a century,
many of them famous in tho history of
this State and country. The Kev.
Thomas Heese, I). I)., is believed to be
the first person buried here,. He was
tin; pastor of the Church and died in
171MI at th?'age of lii'ty-four. The well
merited degree of 1). I?, was conferred
on him by Princeton College in recog
nition of eminent ability and scholarly
attainments. In those days such a
degree was a high distinction. There
is a cluster ?d' graves, enclosed by a
brick wall tine?- and a hall feet high,
among which there is one worthy of
more than a passing notice. It is
marked by a plain white marble head
stone, less than three feet !:i?rh, upon
which is the following inscription:
..Cen. Andrew Pickens
was born
loth September, 17:J'.?,
and died
11th August, 1817.
Ile was a Christian,
a Patriot & Soldier.
JI is character and act ions
are incorporated w illi the
history of his country.
Filial affection and respect
raise ?hi.; Stone
to his memory.''
And this all there is to tell to genera
tions to conic that this is the last rest
ing place of the hero of many a hard
fought battle ol' the war of indepen
dence. Not to speak of his eminent
services in subduing the Indians of the
regions round about. While towering
monuments ol' bronze or stone have
been erected by the government to tho
memory of many who did far less for
their country than did Gen. Picketts,
it has failed to do its duty to this
illustriouschiuftain. Within two miles
>f where he slee ps he consummated a
treaty of peace in 1777 with four pow
erful tribes of Indians- the Cherokees,
U reeks, Chickasaws and Choctaws
Inn ing all four tribes encamped nt ono
lime about his home on the banks of
the beautiful Seneca River. This do
ur able end was not attained, however,
ill he had severely punished them in
inverai battles. On tho heights over
ooking thc r;vcr ho had his residence
or many years after the war. The old
laka and other marks are there yet to
ihow the place where his house stood.
We ate told that in this same grave
ard there lies buried the secret of the
eal authorship of tho celebrated
'JuniuH Letters' that stirred England
rom palace to hovel. John Miller was
ho printer through whose hands these
otters passed to the reading public
md in the enden vor to discover the
vritertho pressure became so strong
is to necessitate Miller's leaving Kng
and. He came to Charleston, where
ie remained a few years, and from
here he removed to Pendleton, where
ie published for several years a weekly
taper called the Pendleton Messenger,
["herc he died at a ripe agc, always le
nsing to divulge the name of the
lUtlior of the famous letters, and here
he secret lies buried with him in this
lld graveyard.
Af the lower side of the grounds
here are two huge pine trees about
even or eight feet apart, toweling far
hove the surrounding growth. They
re the sole monuments to mark the
:rave of Turner Hynuin, who was kill
el in a duel in ISM by H. P. Perry,
loth were brilliant young lawyers of
i reen ville and editors of rival napers,
'orrv being editor ot' the Patriot
nd hynuin having charge of thc South
in Sentinel, Their controversy be
Eime so hot during nullification times
s to bring on a duel, which was fought
ri til pistols on an island in Tugaloo
?iver, just below llatton's Ford. Perry
as only slightly wounded, while
lynum was shot in the spine and kill
i\. His body was brought to Stone
! burch und buried by torch light oil a
ark and stormy night. There is a
radition that the poles upon which the
ohin was horne from the wagon to tho
nave were planted at the hoad and
ont of the grave to mark it, ail?! that
hov took root and grew and are now
lie" great trees that sing their mournful
Urges when the evening zephyrs blow,
tnt there are those w ho deny this ?md
mythe gravi- was dug between two*
miall pim- trees.

Whittlers, the kilpatrick*, the Uw

revolution, worshipped here, he and

three miles away, on the place now
