Ihe .Road Inspectors for Newb)erry County-One Makes Report to the Grand Jury. Under the act of the last legislature, ntroduced by Senator Johnstone, a oad inspector was appointed for New 5erry county for each township. His salary was fixed at $20, making the ota2 expenditure for this purpose 240. These inspectors among other hings are required to report to the supervisor and to the grand jury. In luiry from the foreman of the grand ury brings the information that 'only ne report has been filed with him. Ihat report is by Mr. T. J. Wilson of Lownship No. 10 and is printed here with: The following is a report of the con litions of the .public highways and ridges in my respective township: I found all the main roads in good 3ondition. They have been worked by :he chaingang. I find the same usual aeglect of work on the smaller roads. [n fact an entire neglect of road working where the chaingang hasn't been. This goes to prove that the present system of road working with the ex eption of the chaingang is a farce. The bridges are all in good condi ion except the one across Curls creek ear Bachman Chapel church, which eeds considerable repairing. I recommend that terra cotta be us ed wherever it is thought best to do so. and not use so much sap lumber which only lasts a year or two. I am glad to report that the chain gang is making better progress in road working now than it has ever done be fore. Respectfully submitted, Thos. J. Wilson, Road Inspector of No. 10 Township.

The daily newspapers have carried S statements during the past several! da.y, to the effect that Attorney Gen- i eral J. Fraser Lyon was undecided as to whether he would be abte to call the case of the State vs. H. H. Evans, i charged with accepting rebates, at j the term of general sessions court to I convene here next Monday, on account I of the fact that the famous Southern i railway "merger" suit is on the calen dar of the Richland county court for trial during the same week. Yesterday afternoon The Herald and News wired Attorney General Lyon as 1 follows: "Hon. J. Fraser Lyon, Columbia, S. C.: "Would appreciate a statement by wire as to probability of your taking I up Evans case next week. "The Herald and News." In rep17 Attorney General Lyon wired: "Herald and News, Newberry, S. C.: "Am not in position to make state ment at this time. "J. Fraser Lyon." With two cases on bis hands to be called for trial at the same time, of 1 course the attorney general is in a position which will require him to make a choice of the case the trial of which he may conceive to be for the best interest of the State at this time. BARN AND STABLES BURN. Mr. Geo. W. Summer Loses His Barn by Fire-Cow Cremated-Cause Unknown. Friday night about 11 o'clock, the new fire alarm whistle, about which i so much has been said recently, was unf,jtunately b;ought into service. That is to say it was the alarm for a, real fire. The fire was not discovered nor was the alarm sent in until the fire was well underway. The barn of Mr. Geo. W. Summer, on his lot in the city, was completely destroyed. He had about 150 bus hels of corn in the ear and about two thous and bundles of fodder in the barn. There were also two horses and two cows in the stables. Wit-I much difficul ty the horses were gotten out with slight damage from the fire but one cow was cremated. There were a number of other build ings near the barn and several resi-, dences in the immediate neighborhood but owing to the stillness of the night and the good work of the fire depart ment after the alarm was sent in, no damnage was done to any other build ings. Mr. Summer had no insurance on the building or contents. It is not known how the fire originated, but the theory is advanced that it was due to rats. The loss is estimated 'by Mr. Summer at $600.

THE COMMON PLEAS COURT. io Jury Trihls-Calendar In Good Shape-General Sessions Court Next Week. For several reasons no jury trialsl were taken up at the term of the com- E non pleas court which convened on i 4onday morning, Judge John S. Wil ;on, of Manning, presiding. Among ] hese were that Col. 0. L. Schumpert i s confined to his room with sickness; I 3overnor-etect Blease, who has pass- < d through a serious illness, but is I iow out, has been forbidden by his i >hysician to take up any active work i ret, and several other reasons. The alendar, notwithstanding the fact i :hat at several courts jury trials have: >een called off, is in good shape, and i vill compare favorably with the calen lars of most of the counties in the -] tate. It is characteristic . of the I qewberry bar to dispose of litigation ithout the last and costly resort of I ury trial if there is a possibility of i loing so, and as a result many cases I tre disposed of without cost to the 1 ounty which would otherwise entail L heavy expense. On the civil side ] >f the court, when the matter of ex-h 3ense is considered, the county al- 1 ays gains by few courts, the cases I )eing between private parties and the :ounty bearIng heavy expenses in the I unning of the court. On the crimin i1 side, where the State is a party, :he situation is, of course, entirely ] lifferent. On the criminal side of the ,ourt the docket for Newberry coun :y is comparatilvely clean, except for I iew cases, the entire business of the Tewberry courts, both common pleas Lnd genera sessions, being in good ;hape. A number of judgmen7s 1y default! vere taken and a consider.-e amount >f equity busiess dispo- 1 of.

BLEASE ON THE VICTORY. ;angulne of Complete Democratic Suc cess Two Years Hence-Favors Harmon for President. Governor-elect Cole L. Blease is anguine of a complete Democratic ad ninistration two years hence, and is a trong advocate of Governor Judson Iarmon, of Ohio, for the Democratic iomination for the presidency. Asked !or an expression as to the recent >verwhelming Democratic victory, naking the next house of representa :ives Democratic with a good working najority, Governor-elect Blease said: "I am very proud of the Democratic success all over the country, and :hink it points to a Democratic ad ninistration two years hence, provid d those in power shall act so as to 1old the confidence -of the people, as hey will do if they adhere to Demo %ratic principles. But if they go to ighting among themselves for the few craps that have fallen off t the Re ublican table, the people will refuse o allow them to go into the feast two rears from now, concluding that the )emocrats are too greedy to have good nanners and are, therefore, unfit to, )e at the banquet. Hence, our oppor :unity will be lost. "I am for Harmon for president. We ieed him. He is a strong man, both nentally and physically, and a man, vho will appeal to all lovers of good, ionest government. New Jersey is, n my opinion, too small a State toI )ut the nominee forward, and I be ieve New York will support Harmon ts loyally as she would Woodrow Wil ;on, and .possibly more loyally than ;he would support him or any other )emocrat or any other man unless he ;hould hail from that State." Governor-elect Blease has received t number of invitations, all of which le has been forced. to decline. Among :iese there is an invitation from Gov rnor and Mrs. Wilson, of Kentucky, mnd from Secretary Norton, of the 'onference of Governors, to attend :he Conference of Governors to be ield in Louisville on Novembe'r 28 and 9. He has also received an invitation rom the chairman and secretary to Lttend the Deep Waterways' conven ion to be held in St. Louis November 5 and 26. In addition to these he has eceived many invitations from dif ~erent sections of the State to make tddresses. His physician, Dr. Hoeu eal, has .positively forbidden his ac ~eptance of any of these invitations.I t is a matter 'of 'deep regret to theI led Men here that he will not be able : take part in the Thanksgiving exer ises of Bergell tribe on next Thurs lay.
