a The case against the negro John '

Summer wno was ineu ;u j-exuigiun oii

, ing of young Harold Suber of Peak i
who was found dead in the wucds, s
having been transferred to Newberry j s

among parties.
Judge Gary and Solicitor Blackwell
and Stenographer Syfan did a
week of good work and disposed of a
\ .gTeat number of cases.
, Judge Gary to Grand Jury.
' ? Judge Gary in his charge to the
erand jury at the opening of court
on Tuesday morning stated that he
did not intend to have very much to y
say but would call their attention to
some of their duties. * :
He explained to them their duties
v ' in the matter of examining the cases
^ presented to them and further added
that their responsibility did not end
there, but the affairs of Newberry
county of all kinds were in their,
hands, that they must go further and
call io the attention of the proper officers
any other violations of the law
that had come to their attention, and
any necessary improvements that
seemed to them to be needed. '
He asked that they make some
recommendation in the matter of
iwiMi/. hijrhwavs. He said that he did
fwamv O? if
not know much about the roads of
Newberry dbunty, but that he had
had occasion Recently to ride .over
some of the roads of some of the
other counties, and that the roads
were in very bad shape. He felt satisfied
that there was need of attention
to the roads of Newberry. This
? is one of the big problems now before
the people of all the counties of
, the state and with the increased
traffic on the public highways it was
imperative that something should be
done to give us better roads. Itxis
of the imperative demands of our
KHglLodern civilization.
JHbAkHe requested that the books of the
^^^^Bunty officers be examined. He
it a splendid thing and necesHHy
to have the books of the county
BgHBcers frequently examined. . It
BS^^kans no reflection upon the officers
HjBBWt on the contrary is a privilege
H Hat they deserve, to have their books
HHKzamined and let t&e people know
^^Hjtiow well they are doing their duty.
WKf He especially called their attention
to the books of the magistrates. "It
has been my experience," he said.
<4that the magistrates do not keep
their books i? gooa order. If it were
^ trr&nd iurv I donlt know
\ "V? *v. o * ?.
what would be done. The grand jury
in moat counties find the magistrates'
books in very bad shape. I don't know
whether that is true in this county
or hot.
- "It is your prerogative to call the
attention of your legislators to important
matters. Some very important
laws have been passed through
the agitation of the grand jury. It
was through their effort that the Jim
Crow law and the no. fence law were
passed"
Presentment of Grand Jury.
The following is the presentment
of the grand jury:
f To His Honor, Frank B. Gary, Pre1
siding:
inrv leave to sub
X UC a * JV. v ?
mit this as their final presentment.
We have passed upon all bills of indictment
handed to us by the solicitor,
and the same with our findings thereon.
have been returned to the court.
We have reliable information that the
bridge over Rush river, called Lindsay's
Bridge, is in very bad shape and
especially needs new flooring; that
its present condition is such as to
make travel over it unsafe and dangerous.
We recommend that the proper
officials be directed to take steps
forthwith to remedy this condition.
The information comes to us that
? ' HoIIey's ferry, on Saluda rivtr, has a
ffiat but no ferryman, and that Simpson's
ferry, on the same river has a
fprrvman and no flat. It appears to
us that both these ferries should be
provided with proper flats or ferrymen
as the case should be. Certainly,
if nothing better can be done the
present ferryman and the flat at hanc
should be put together, so that* th?
r people of that section can at leasi
1'have one place to cross the river. W<
urge that the proper authorities tak?
ip this matter at once.
Wie regret to say that the public
roads and bridges of Newberry county.
in many places, are in bad shape.
We do not know who is at fault in this
matter. It may be the fault of many
persons and oif.ciais combined. I*
may be that the financial condition of
the county is such that the roads have
been neglected. But we wish to say
:o all the county officials and repre-r
sentatives. who have .management and
authority, that our people snould have
improved highways and bridges. Even
1 - - t?* u I
it' we cannot do anytnmg to unng mis
ibout. we wish to urge that some
>teps be taken very soon to bring
ibout a general improvement of oar
Highways and bridges, and we urge
:hose in charge of them, and those
in charge of arranging to finance such
improvements, to begin soon this important
work.
Report as to the unsanitary condi:ion
of the Cousins butcher pen, just
kvithout the incorporate limits of the
:own of Newberry came to us and a
committee from our body was appointed
to visit this place and make
examination and report. This committee
reports this butcher pen is not
n/lrtpc fpnm it aro nffpn

sive to the people in the neighborhood.
Parts of animals and refuse are allowed
to remain on top of the ground.
.o he eaten by hogs and otherwise destroyed.
^Vhen buried ?uch refuse ist
not buried properly. We think it j
tvould be wise for the town of Newbery
to take steps to have erected a
proper abattoir and do awav with
theSe old-time butcher pens. But if!
this suggestion cannot now be carried j
out, certainly the butcher pen, which!
is so important to the health of soj
many people, can be kept more sanitary.
We urge the health officials,
both of the town and county, to see
about this right away. Delay may endanger
the health or life of some one. j
IE the butcher pen cannot be"kept ml
a more sanitary manner, then it;
should be abated as a public nuisance.!
People living in the outskirts of the!
town of Newberry, in the neighbor- \
hood of. the Newberry Cotton Mill,j
and people who travel the public j
highway from Newberry to T-ong-1
shores store, are complaining to us as ,
to the manner of disposition of the j
sewerage from the Newberry Cotton j
mill, for West End) village. Tt ap-1
pears that the sewerage is carted from j
tiie houses of< the people aiong ine i
highway to a place where it K'Vied. |
The a oi of the wagon, It is slated, (
is cz-rc'ess, and the sewe\i^e is r 1- j
lowed to fall to the ground; and :t is;
olsc. sai?i that the sewerage is not pio- I
perly buried. Offensive odors come to'
those who reside in this neighborhood
and to those who have to travel on
the road mentioned. We urge th;i
proper officials to exam?n3 into this
matter at opce and to take steps to
remedy the conditions complained.of
11 UlCJr CAJfll.
We_ have examined the books of the;
magistrates of the* county and in1
most instances find them kept proper- j
ly and proper entri s and records of
fines collected and paid over b., ihem J
and with their receipts therefor. In j
two instances it appears that the mag-j,
istrates have paid fines to the Game;
Wrden but no receipts appear from'
the Game Warden. Our propefr com-!
mittee will take up these matters with j
the magistrates.
Through committees we have made.
;?<.?oAti'nn of fnnntv home and!

jail. The county home is well kept;!
the keeper is attentive to his duties; i
the farm is in good shape; the inmates j
are well cared for. Some of the out-r,
buildings are in need of Repairs, es-j
pecially as to their roofs. It is cheap-;
er for the county in the end, and wej
recommend that these outuildings bej
put in good condition. The jail is:
clean, sanitary, healthy and comfort-}
able. The prisoners are well cared j
for and safely guarded. wewDerry,
jail is a credit to our county and tliii
jailer should e commended for his
manner of keeping it
A committee has been appointed to:
examine the books of the various !
county officials and this work will be !
attended to hereafter. We think it I
proper to state, however, that expert!
accountants, representing the comp-;
troller general have only recently ex-;
amined all these books and made
proper settlements with these officials, j
and we have been informed that the
books of all the public offices were!
found in proper condition and alii

public monies properly accouniea ior.?
We find that the courthouse roof,'
is leaking and in need of repair^, and1 _
that the floor in the county treasur- *?
en's office underneath where his safe (g
sets is giving away. A splendid build- r
ing like our courthouse should be ?
always kept in proper repair and we a
insist that the proper authorities at- j<
tend to the repairs necessary on this;
building forthwith. i n
- We wish to extend our thanks to your. &
Hopor, the solicitor, sheriff, clerk and c
other officials of the court for their h
t kindness to us doing the term. ! I
! The assistance given by the court a
and these officials to us have aided r
. much in a prompt discharge of the c
duties we have been called upon to a
j perform. i f
We recommend that the usual fee be
