THE IANCNG T.hSE 1rann a ..S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1888. COURT. Court convened last Monday morning Judge Aldrich on the bench. In addressin the Grand Jury, he began by paying a higl tribute to the memory of Dr. Jno. I. In gram. He said but little on the duties o the grand jury. He advocated the restore ion of the whipping post for certain offenses saying that with the large majority of col ored people, the penitentiary produced it them no fear or disgrace, for generally th< biggest men and greatest heroes amons them were those who had served a term it the penitentiary. He said that the oni3 way to reach a negro's conscienc< was through his hide, therefore he advocat ed that for trivial offenses, petit larcen3 and such things, the wipping post shouli be established. Only one case was tried in the court of sessions: Richard Proctor, colored, charget with housebreaking and larceny; guilty one year in the penitentiary. The peti jury was dismissed by 3 o'clock Monday Tuesday morning the grand jury made (heir presentmentas follows: PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY. To is Honor, A. P Aldrich, 'in judge, Court of General &ssions for arendoi Cowity, May 2erm, 1888: The Committee of the Grand Jury, ap 'ited at the last term of the Court o: eral Sessions for this County, whicl were instructed to take under consideration the report of the Grand Jury for 1887, anc examine into the charges preferred in saic report, and the statements therein made beg, . most respectfully, to submit to th Bonorable Court this their report: The investigation of the committee ex tended from the 21st to the 24th of March They were assisted by W. L. Bass, Esq., o1 Kingstree, whose services asan expert the] had secured to aid them in making this examination. The Committee, in making this investi gation, have endeavored to keep promi nently before them the fact that they rep resent not individuals but their county and thathowever much pity or sympath3 may have attempted to wean them from an unwelcome task, they knew full well that their government demanded the strictesi , impartiality and the fullest justice, keeping this in view, and having a full sense of the r bility and obligations which thei oaths they have taken impose upon them, they have attempted to discharge this un pleasant duty in accordance with the obli gmoons of their oaths, their government's eouamads and their own sense of right and justice. The conclusions reached, and the facts found, are as follows: L The Committee fnds that in the year 1887 only $169.75 was collected from liquor licenses, when $200 should have been col. looted,. as there were two bar-rooms in the town during that year. They fnd that this difference was occasioned by the payment if . Schwarts of only a part of the sum re. 'r by law. Therefore they ptesent the Bo of CountyCommissioners for 1887 for failing and neglecting to institute proceed sagain said M. Scharts to recover the 0 required by kwto be paid for license to aelliquora. 1L .Tis Committee repeat the recom mdaoa of the former grand jury tha ie $10'which it "has been customary for ' School Commissioner to collect' fn's ta f expenses, be not paid for the 4 -year,. but that the same be a 'e tothegenralschool fund. - .T' commitrae after eareful eamin&. onfdthat in the fiscal. year 1884-1885 S. J. owma.Ucollected:on School Commnis. sioner's salary $33, and J.. Conyers, $667, making the som of $%@,- thie total amount allowed bylaw for the-copenstion of the 1chool Commissioner; nevertheless, J. 3. Conyers, on January 2, 1886,. gave W!. D. 'amble a draft on the Treasurer for $50, a opo which is hereto annexed and marked "A;" also on A ' 24, T885; said 3. .. Conyers gave K1 -ev a draft' en the Treasurer for the sum of $144.25. and an aamgnment to said K1 Levi of his efaims aginst the County for services as School Commisioner to the amount of $144.25, a copy of which draft and assignment i6 hereto annexed, and marked "B." The amount of both these drafts were ordered by the School Commissioner to be, charged to the account of the School Commissioner's salary. This shows that during the fiscal ear 1884-1885, and on the account of the School Commissioner's salary for that year, there was paid the sum of $894.25, $38 to S. J. Bowman, and $861.25 to J. J. Conyern and others by his orders. No notice is made of'sither the draft of $50 or the draft and assignment of $144.25, in either the Trasurer's or School Comimissioner's re ports; neither does any mention of either apparin the books of the Treasurer and ScolCommissioner. IV: A perpuping tobe achc was found ameng the Treasurer's vouchers. a eopy of which is hereto annexed and marked "C." The Committee does not tink that that paper should have been paid by the Treasurer, as itis not addressed to any one. No voucher for this check ap. rin the Scbool Commissioner's office. eCmieethinks that it is the inten tion of the law that the School Commis sioner shall have a voucher for every cheek, draft, or warrant he issues from his office, and that without such voucher he has no authority to order the payment o~f money to any person whomsoever. The Committee also finds that School Commissioner J. J. Conyers approved and ordered paid, and that the Treasurer paid, quite a large- num. br of school warrants which had been ex amned and approved by only one mme of the Board of Trustees. This should noi '~.h~ mmittee is very glad to be able to report that, without any increase in taxa ticn, the public schools of the County dur ig the past year were opened for four and ive months. Heretofore they have beer run only from two weeks to two months The School Commissioner should be comn mended for so materially improving the system of dispen - the school funds. VI. However mu~ they regret to de-sc *tthe Committee is forced to present D~r ~H. Huggins, County Trezenrer,- for- that on November 30, 1885; he collected frotr Sam Scott, Nero- Hudson,- Henry Felder Cicero Lewis, Lewie Manning, Joe Brun son, Rush Player,. Jyptha Floyd; ani Mose Wheeler taxes to the amount of $1 12 ets and 4 mills, without warrant or au thority; and that on November 4. 1885, h< colected from Dr. S. C. C. Richardson for Mrs. A. C. Butler, taxes to the amnoun of $10.40, without warrant or authority None of these taxes were charged on eithe: the Auditor's or Treasurer's duplicate o: list of additionass; therefore, they wer< colected without any authority whatevcr Furthermore the moneys so collected ha: never been accounted for by the Treasurer Witnesses: all the above mentioned person from whom the said- taxes were collected . E. Scott, F. P. Cooper, T. R., Brailsford and others. VD. The Committee finds that it is tra that taxes have been collected by the Treas urer, and reports of the same withel< from the School Commissioner and thi County Comimissioneri. Witnesses: F. I Cooper, T. R. Brailsford, the School Corn missioner, and the County Commissionern VIII Also that, after school warrants has been approved and ordered paid- by Schoc Comisin. a while there was mone: in the Treasury applicable to these war rants, the Treasurer refused to pay them. Witnesses: J. T. Stukes and Abe Levi. IX. The Committee finds that in the fis cal year 1884-1885 the Treasurer paid school warrants to the amount of $763.75 for which he has nevet received any credit on the School Commissioner's book, but the School Commissioner has carried forward all bal ances, including the above amount, charg. ing the Treasurer with the same, except a balance of $90.69 which was not carried for ward by the School Commissioner in the fiscal year 1884-1885, and has never been charged against the Treasurer. A list of the warrants so paid as above mentioned is t hereto annexed and marked "D." Also im 1885-1886 the Treasurer paid school claim of W. J. Conyers for $8, for which he has never received credit on the School Com missioner's book. Furthermore, in fisca) year 1884-1885, the Treasurer paid on school claims for District No 9 $16.45 in excess of the amount apportioned for that District. He has never received credit for this amount. STATEMENT. Paid by Treasurer in 84-85, for which he has received no credit $763.75 Paid by Treasurer in excess of ap portionment in No 9 84-85 16.45 Paid by Treasurer, claim of W. J. Conyers, no credit given 8.00 Total for which Treas. has no credit $788.20 Amount left in Treasurer's hands in 1884-1885, for which he is not charged 90.69 Leaving the sum of $697.51 for which the Treasurer has never received any credit on the School Commissioner's books. The Committee recommends that the School Commissioner be instructed to credit the Treasurer with the above amount of $697.51,.on the School Commissioner's book. X. The Committe presents that the books of the Ex-Auditor, J. E. Scott, are in the exact condition as represented by the former Grand Jury; that he, the said J. E. Scott, has never completed his original du plicate of the year 1885-1886 ; that all of his auditor's duplicates as far back as 1880 are incomplete ; that upon these books no total tax has been entered at all ; that the foot ings of the columns, and a large part of the work is in pencil, contrary to the direct printed instructions of the Comptroller General; that he has failed to record in their proper places, viz, in the back of Aud itor's and Treasurer's duplicates, any of the additionals issued by him; and that no rec ord of additionals can be found in the au ditor's office. Witnesses: W. E. Stoney, D. J. Bradham, F. P. Cooper, T. R. Brailsford and others. The Grand Jury respectfully reports that they have adopted as their presentment at this term the foregoing report of this com mittee. H. C. CARRIGAN, Foreman. At the end of the reading, the judge com plimented the grand jury on the great care and diligence shown by them in this re port, and said that an order would at once be issued for the parties, presented in the report, to show cause at the next term of court, why they should not be indie d. He stated that while he believed the ocers presented had exhibited great carelessness in the conduct of their official business, he did not suppose any one of them was crim inally guilty. The only cases heard in the court of com mon pleas were three appeals from trial justices. Court adjourned about one o'clock Tuesday. Summerton Wants the Railroads. Ms. Erron:-Iam puzzled to understand the oscillating manner in which Maj. B. C. Barkeley, president of the Eutawville Rail road talks. Sometimes hke says the road will run one route, acid other times he says it will run another, hence, I am surprised at his lack of decision. Let me review the cause of his last deter rination to run the road towards Mr. D. 1'evi's, and from thence to the neighbor hood of Panola. The agent at Wrights Bluff says that Mr. D. Levi ships about 1700 bales of cotton, and Mr. J. P. Brock about 475 bales. Now about one third of these amounts are bought, and at prices that they feel (where there is no competi tion) they can best pay. Of course, if we were in these gentlemen's places we would do the same, and would threaten to ship everything by any other route than theirs, unless they should so run their road as to completely block out cotton buyers. This route will do it, and result in the Steam boat Co. reaping the benefit. Besides the above amounts, Mr.. . Levi ships about 500 bales, and nearly the whole amount is 'd for in cash, without competition in No I'argue, that .to run the road by Summerton you would immediately concen tae and develop a business that makes Summerton a town, and assures a :cottn buyer; then instead of hundreds of bales of cotton, and hundreds of dollars go ing to Samter, the distance cof 23 miles, (and the people deriving a benefit notwithstand ingthe distance,) all would he brought to Sumz2herton. Then Mr. Levi wvould be com pelled to come to Sumimerton, for his hon or wold force him to receive cotton where there was competition, if his leiluors insist ed that they could realize better pricgs. Mr. Breck would do the same, andi Mr. M. Leviwould be compelled to have some bus inss there too, and why? Because Man ning gets a tremendous support from this secton,and no sooner than the road reach ed Summerten, Manning would lose it, and Mr. Levi would also lose it, unless he made some arrangement to catch it; and who is it that knows him would for once doubt his having-a hand in the Summerton business ? therefore it would be far more profitable to the road to run this route, and far more beneficial to the community. I can see the same spirit of opposition to Summerto'n, that keeps a cotton buyer from Manning, and who are the sufferers? Why every man who has cotton to sell, and goods to buy. Instead of every one working -for these roads which will develop our county, each man has a hope of a town being built at his door. Can we scatter little stations all about and build ttp any of them? Yet we see, incour immagination,.a little town on the Eutaw vile Re. R. about one mi-le from Mr. D. Levi's store called "Leviton," and about one mile further, another called "Brockton," and as we stand at "Badgerville" near Sumimerton, and look down the Wilson Road about one mile we will see on the road running by Mr. W.W. Benbow's a beautiful town called *M. Leviton." But suppose the depots are brought together in Sumumerton, then there will be no chance for the imnaginatien, real ity will burst upon our vision, necesity will force immediate incorporation, and a beau tiful little town springs up in one of the mot prosperous sections in the State, and the result is, that the roads are profited, Fand the community benefited. Where would you find a healthier place, and a more desirable place for people to move to from-cities than Summerton ? yet we find men who are building railroads jumping and- dodging from one point to another, telling every one they meet that L~the road is soon to go by his house, try. ing to fool everybody, and please everybody, without making a single effort themselves ~ to examine into the country, or without ask ing themselves why? Is it that merchants sscattered about this section prefertheir run ning the road anywhere ratherthan to Sum. . merton ? and why is it that those who live n Manning,- and those who sympathise ewith Manning, only pray that the road masy miss Summerten ? It is because a business Iwill immediately spring up that-will put athe Manning of 25 or 30 years to- shame. In case the Wilson Road should run up in - to Sumnmerton,-I am satisfledthat the build Lers of the Eutawville road wiul see int less Ithan six months that they allowed- parties .1who were working for their entire inter est to frighten them. SUMiMERTON. About the Payment of Pensions. Bethlehem, Clarendon Co., S. C., May 11, 1888. Hon. Jos. H. Earle, Att'y Gen'l, Columbia, S. C. Dry Sm:-I notice by our county paper that "the checks for the April payments o1 Confederate pensiohs of the State are in the posession of the clerks of edurt;" to be deliv ered and paid by the treasurer only on the personal application of the respective pen sioners." I will here premise by saying, that I am sure the intention of the "Pen sion Board" was to facilitate the disburse ment of this fund, in the absence of an ap propriation by the Legislature for its dis. bursement, and I can very well anticipate the difficulties your Board labored under in this respect; but it appears to me that the ends sought will be at great hardship and expense to the parties this fund is intended to benefit. The mere fact that each Pen. sioner is required to go to his or her counts seat in person each month to get payment, no matter the distance nor the physical or financial ability of the party to get there, is in itself sufficient to negative this mode of disbursement. A great majority of these Pensioners are extremely indigent, with no money or mode of conveyance to getto their respective county seats: others again are physically unable, and it would be too much to rely upon the- assistance and char. ity of friends or relatives for aid in this re spect. I can very well conceive that the object sought in this manner of disbursement, was to be sure that the persons to whom the funds be longed should receive it and no other, and your Board should be commended for attempt ing to carry out the evident intention of this beneficiary enactment. Permit me to respectfully suggest that the following mode of payment be adopted, applicable with the May disbursement, as I apprehend that the April payment has al ready been disposed of as above indicated: when the May payment is to be made, send each pensioner, to his or her P. 0. address, (which your Board already has,) a cheek for $4.50, reserving the 50 cents for postage, etc.,for the re mainder of thefiscal year, leaving it to the ensu ing session of the Legislature to provide for this as well as other years' disbursement, which if done the 50 cents thus reserved can be re turned to the pensioners in a future pay ment. I am' aware there may be legal ob jections existing against this plan, but I ap prehend they could be obviated. The mode proposed would enable the pension ers to receive their monthly stipends promptly at the end of each month, these checks they could have cashed in their neighborhoods, or get the necessities of life at cash prices, and thus carry out in the eleemosynary intention of the Legis lature. I have the honor, General, to be Your obedient servant, ROBERT M. THOMPSON. Picnic at Panola. P~oora, May 14.-Last Saturday was a day long to be remembered by the young, old, and courting folks of this section. Your correspondent accompanied by a most charming companion set out about 1la. x., in a regular old fashioned jog, in a winding pine woods road, for Flood's mill (followed by two carriages ladened-one literally pack ed like sardines-gith the most beautiful young ladies it has ever been our good for tune to behold,) to attend the Panola High School picnic. It is utterly impossible to give an accurate description of this most enjoyable affair. Though old Sol's face was sometimes hid den by hornless clouds, there seemed to be sunshine every-where. Swamp birds of rare and variegated plumage perched here and there in the abundant and verdant foliage (forming, as it were, a green wall betwixt mill-dam and sky) warbled their Mreetest notes. The mill-pond frogs were in full concert also with their various chants, trying to call up a gentle spring shower to wet the beautiful array of spring dresses of the most beauti ful lot of young ladies who have ever per ambulated these picturesque picnic grounds. Now and then you hear the sudden deep mellow bass voice of the bull-frog as he goes out from the turbid pool, bellow and stretch across for a more private habitation to the opposite banks of the stream. The boys though numerically weak, were equal to the emergency. You could see a fellow either with his own, or some -other fellow's sweet heart, strolling, boat-riding, dancing or seated in groups of twos. Oc ' ioal~ he would say something-then she'd smile-then he'd smile, and then both would laugh. Mr. Editor, if a girl's face is an index to her soul the boys did their whole duty, for they were much pleased we mean the girl s. John Washington, leader of the Panola string-bend, furnished the music in the mill house. It was rather warm for dancing, but John's waltzes were just too irresistible, so in due time gallant young men and lovely maidens were threading the mazes of the waltz, " Which to thy more melting tune, Baw Irish jig, and ancient rigadoon, Scotch reels avaunt; and country dance, forego Your future claims to each fantastic toe" Next approaches the hour for dinner. "Oh! hour of all hours, the most blest upon earth; blessed hour of our dinner." The Panola matrons with Capt. D. W. Bralsford's assistance can set up some of the most magnificent dinners that it has ever been our good luck to assault. Suffice it to say, that this was one of their best. A baked gobbler confronted us on our first charge, and we commenced and finished our dinner right there. Privateer, Packsville, Hodges Corner, Fulton, Calvary, Friendship, and Summer ton were well represented. About 6 P. x. the picnickers packed for home. We re-. turned via Hickory Hill, Big Branch, and Panola. The River road from Flood's mill to Hickory Hill was once the prettiest road in the County. We regretted to see that the most beautiful section had been com pletely denuded of its natural beauty, in order to give more sun-shine to King Cotton. But at the same time w~e noted- with pleas ure the wonderful agricultural improve ments made in th'is same section in a few years. Crops, though young, looked well. We have al':ays thought that Clarendon farmers plaint-cotton too late, and lose con siderable thereby, but a loss that's never known never hurts. Our homeward journey was, if anything, more enjoyable than the picnic,--the beau tiful landscapes, the delightful evening breezes, the level hard clay roads, the glow ing sunset. There was scarcely any twi light here. The day star sinks apparent ly into the Santee swamp; a blood red or orange colored flag hangs like a signal for a moment from his western tower ! is then suddenly withdrawn, leaving in place only a dusky streamer, which suddenly disap pears within the tents of night. .The gray of twilight thickens magically into dark ness. But we were unusually fortunate on this jaunt. We were under the enchanting influence of a Ray that we trust twill never fade. A Ray that did not set with the sun, but was transformed into a brilliant star, which continued to illuminate our Fiendly hearts to our journey's end. The remainder of the evening, with a half dozen or more picnickers was most de lightfully spent in the charming and hos pitable family circle of our neighbor, Hon. James E. Tinidal. Misses Sudie Furman of Sumter Co., and Amanda Paisley of k'la., and a few of the Panola and Summerton Gentry, added to the enjoyment of the evening. We feel specially indebted to Misses Ahie Bea, Gertrude Hauck, and May Tindal for some very sweet instrumental and vocal rusic,-recitations. &c. OCCASION~AL.
