TE ININ TIE. Maran mg; s.oa. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 138. COURT. Wednesday morning the case of Eliza Colclough charged with arson was tried. Messrs. Galluchat & Als brook represented the prisoner, and Solicitor Wilson the State. The jury brought in a wrdict of guilty with recommendation to mercy. The pris oner was sentenced to hard labor in the penitentiary for ten years. The Solicitor entered a nol. pros. in case of Wmn. E. Brown, indicted for malicious mischief PR1IMET oF GRAND JURY. To Bis Honor J. J. Norton, Presiding Judge for the February Term of Court: The Grand Jury drawn to serve the present year respectfully reports that they have acted upon the four indictments given them by the Solic itor, and found true bills in each case. The county is to be congratu lated that there is so little criminal business before the court. From what we have seen and has been reported to us, we report the roads throughout the county in a bad condition, and recommend that im mnediate attention be given them. Everybody is directly interested in good roads, and the people demand them. Several bridges, too, are in need of attention, and a little care given at the proper time may save the county a good many dollars. We insist that our roads and bridges should be kept in first-class condition. We did not deem it best to examine the books and records of the county offices at this term of court, but will do so some time during our term, by a special committee consisting of J. F. Cole, W. C. Beames, and K T. Avant. We ask that your Honor ap poin S. A. Nettles to assist this con mittee as- expert. We have examined the county jail, nd find it in almost every respect in secure:. the iron bars are too thin; the Ieecs inferior; the walls of the cells improperly nailed on; sash not sup plied with glass,-but it is useless for us to enumerate. We recommend that the County Consmissioners prepare an itemized estimate of what it will cost to make this jail reasonably secure, and present it to this Grand Jury for their consideration at the next term of court. The Court-house, too, needs some attention by way of repairs to doors, ecure fastenings to doors and win dows, etc. We recommend that the County .Commissioners either have .such of this work done as appears -neeessary, or else, as above, report to thisGrand Jury at the next term of snake these repairs. We visited the county poor house, and find the buildings in good condi tion, and the inmates apparently properly supplied with fuel, food,- and c 'ohin, except one inmate who is almost destitute of decent clothing, and another whose bed needs a new tic'in. There are two inmates who are sick andrin need of medical atten tion, yet have had none.' The super intendent is thus derelict in his duty. Xe should be careful in this respect, and when medical attention is neces sary should at once call in the poor house physician. There are nine in mates, most of whom appear suitable subjects for public charity, but two or three of the inmates appear fully able to work and to earn a support for themselves. TLaziness should not be encouraged. inmates to this institu tion should be admitted with care, andkepso long only as they are in ofearning a iving. hscome to our knowledge that on the night of December 16th, 1888, the Clerk of Court's offie and th~e Conty Treasurer's offce were broken into for the supposed purpose of rob bing the county treasury, and it is re ported that one Benjamin S. Dinkins is the party who committed the deed. It is also reported that no efforts have been made to arrest the said D)inkins. It seems to us that the officers inter ested, the County Treasurer, the Clerk of Court and the County Commis sioniers, should have resisted this vio lation of the law on property of which they for the time were custodians, and abouid have at once endeavored to have the culprit arrested. But such was-not done. It is further reported that said Dinkins, about the first of last December, also forged a draft for a considerable sum on a Sumter Bank, signing W. F. B. Haynsworth's name to it,. and that the said draft was cash ed by County Treasurer Huggins. We, therefore, present the said Benjamin S. Dinkins for housebreaking and for gery, and give as witnesses, S. D. Hurst, W. K. Ingram, F. N. Wilson, James E. Davis, H. H. Huggins, D. J. Bradham, Israel James, and Arod Stukes.. We find upon investigation that Ex-County Treasurer Huggins has not yet made his settlement with the County Auditor, even after having been specially ordered to do so by the Comptroller-General. Section 223 of the General Statutes requires a Coun tiy Treasurer to make a settlement with the County Auditor within ten days after his successor qualifies. A longer time than this has elapsed, and the settlement has not yet begun. We, therefore, reluctantly, butin obedience to our oath, present Ex-County Treas urer K. K Huggins for non-compli ance with the law, and recommend that the proper legal measures be taken in the premises. We give as witnesses, Comptroller-General Vern er, County Treasurer Sprott, and County Auditor D. J. Bradham. tention to the fact that he has not a1 sufficient number of chairs to seat the jury and the members of the bar, and also that there is a lack of tables in the Court House. We recommend that there be supplied at once as many chairs and tables as are necessary. A petition has been presented to us, signed by thirty citizens of the coun ty, praying that the tram-road oper ated by Messrs. C. R. Harvin and W. S. Harvin, which runs parallel for two miles with the public road leading from Jordan, Summerton, ar d other places to Manning, is a nuisance to public travel on that road, and asking us to recommend to the County Com missioners that they protect the coun ty's interest by declaring said road a public nuisance. We beg leave to re fer the matter to your Honor for his opinion. Respectfully submitted, J. F. COLE, Foreman. Manning, S. C., Feb. 13, 1889. GENERAL ORDERS. The presentment of the Grand Jury was disposed of as follows: The Clerk of Court was instructed to copy so much of the presentment as refers to the public roads and bridges, the court house, the poor house, and the tram road of Messrs. C. R. and W. S. Harvin, and servo the same without delay on the chairman of the Board of County Commission ers. Ex-Treasurer Huggins was ruled to show cause the first day of next court why he should not be indicted for not having made his settlement with the Auditor. The Clerk of Court was instructed to issue a bench warrant for B. S. Dinkins upon the charge of house breaking and forgery. cIvIL cOURT. There was little before the Court of Common Pleas. The case of J. E. Morris vs. Thos. Wilson, for damages, resulted in a mistrial. This is the third time this case has been tried: twice resulting in a mistrial, and once hav ing a new trial granted. All other cases were continued. Court adjourned sine die Thursday morning. Judge Aldrich. (Smter Watchman.] The Camden correspondent of the News and Courier, writing under date of Feb. 5th says: Judge Aldrich's charge to the grand jury was elaborate and explicit, though not long. In his charge he spoke of what he desig nated as a nonsensical hue and cry of high taxes, and the demagogic demand for reduc tion in salaries. He said that such men did not know what they were talking about. So far as the State taxes are concerned, they are not onerous, and as to the salaries paid State, county and judicial officers, they are not excessive. For example, a Circuit Judge's salary is $3,500 per annum. He is required to go over the whole State in the discharge of his duties, pay his own ex penses, &c. From his experience he had found that it took every cent of $1,000 to go around the different courts in three circuits during the year. This left only $2,500 for the maintenance of his family, and other necssar exenses of a Judge's family. woueac meanuon ms xamuiy antmig mis absence, a Judge did not have many dollars to lay up at the end of the year for a rainy day. He then mentioned several instances amiong State and county officials whose sal aries barely gave them a living, and in some eases did not do that; and said that if the grumblers would turn their attention to the expenses of th.eir counties, retrenchment in some instances might be made. He cited the fact that every county has a treasurer and auditor, when one officer for these two positiona combined would be enabled to at-. tend to the duties appertaining thereto. We perfectly agree witii Judge Al drich in what he says coicerning the attempt of the legislature to reduce the salary of circuit judges,- and we think it is at least a mooted question whether or not the consolidation of the offices of Auditor and Treasurer in the several counties is feasible and would be a proper proceeding from the standpoint of economy. But we sub mit that a grand jury is a singular audience and a judge's charge a most unusual vehicle for the publication of1 a political speech. When the orator appears, as in this instance, as plain tiff against the unwarranted attempts of the law-making power to rob him of his own hard-earned dollars,. the scene loses all pretentions to good taste, and would be actually indecent, were it not so supremely ludicrous. We must not laugh, however, for we know.that the speaker is not Judge Aldrlch, not the man whom in the prime of his manhood and the vigor of his intellect, this State delighted to honor. The voice is that of a'weak and querulous child. Let it bring out sympathy, not our ridicule. But this last exhibition of senility on the part of one, whose public ca reer should have closed years ago, re minds us that the time is drawing on apace when Judge Aldrich will be called upon to administer justice in this city again, and some things should be said which we would prefer to leave unsaid, and which have been suppress ed so far for reasons that shall be giv en. It is mockery, a travesty upon justice, that this old and broken man should be left in a position where his duty requires him to sit in judgment upon his fellow-man. We see that at Camden he has been called on topas sentence of death upon one man. In all probability the senfence is just, but what a risk is run! We do not speak of Judge Aldrich as an individ uaL We like him personally, and look back with pride upon the time when he could serve his State and did so, manfully-when he was Speaker of the House, and when he held other high positions. But we speak for the people, who, equally with ourselves, love him for what he has been, and say that it is dangerous to administer justice through an aged and decrepit man, the brightness of whose intellect has faded into the latest afterglow of a winter evening. When Judge Aldrich last presided in Sumter, his-conduct gave great of fense to the people in more ways than one. What that conduct wras, it is needless to explain here. The city member it. So great wasthe dissat isfaction that the Watchman and South ron was called on to suppress commu nications strongly censuring His Honor. This was not a transient feeling, for at the next term of Court the Grand Jury- proposed to incorpo rate in its presentment the grounds of complaint and recommend a remedy. This came to the ears of Judge Press ley, then presiding, and he, after vain ly endeavoring, by the use of author ity and persuasion, to prevail upon the Grand Jury to forego their inten tion, finally declared that, to his cer tain knowledge, the resignation of Judze Aldrich had been written, and was in the hand of the proper par ties; and that therefore the proposed presentment could effect nothing. Upon hearing this, the Grand Jury very gladly said nothing. Of this res ignation, if it ever existed, and the character of Judge Pressley preclad- a the idea that it never did, nothing has since been heard. Under these circumstances, is it necessary for us to say that it will be better for Judge Aldrich, for the peo ple, for all concerned, that he shall not again preside in Sumter? DAVE TUCKER Discusses Rich Folks, and Poor Folks, and Their Ways. Set down on this log along side of me, Cousin Bill, and let us talk the matter over. You look kinder sick and sorter out of sorts. I almost know what's the matter with you without the telling of it. You are in trouble about short crops and can't pay out you say, and that is not the matter I say, and there it is we agree so ex aetly. Yes, I know what's making you so sick and cross eyed, and I know the medicine that will cure you. You have been living this blessed year beyond your means, playing the rich man with a poor man's pocket book, and there is the rub. You seem to forget that the nigger is free, and that there is no "high buckra" now; that it is root hog or die with each one of us in the great battle of life. You can't make cotton and corn with breakfast at 10 o'clock and dinner at 6 o'clock, nor mutton chops from rus ty bacon, or cake from a corn dodger, even if eaten from a three hundred dollar silver service set that your creditors can't touch. No sir-ree Bob Dick, it can't be did, it won't wash no how you fix it. I know you were raised that way, and 'tis hard to change, but old fellow you will have to be raised out of that way, or soon starve, a martyr to departed glory, and I don't reckon you want it to come to that do you? There is no sentimental charity that is going to feed you and family, and thus offer a premium to idleness. No sir-ree. This is a great big go-a-head world, and "every tub must set on its own bot tom." Yes, it is true as you say, "that it looks like people that owned niggers before the war are now' the the bottom rail is really and truthful ly on top." The farmer's condition is1 to be deplored, the latter commended for they faced the results of the war in the right spirit, went to work, and by industry and frugality have acquir ed a competence which they can hon estly enjoy. And again sweet William, I am afraid you are putting too much reli ance on your "big family name." Now, just you quit that right off, for a big name aint worth a pinch of snuff against muscle and horse sense. So vou s-ze by experience that a big name by itself aint worth as much as a good horse's pedigree. As for me I would rather have a boot black's bank check than all the big names in the State. It is all nonsense, and the war played it out. There is r.eally more suffer ing from the lack of the comforts of life among this class of our people from this one cause than any other I can conceive of. They are too proud to work, ashamed to beg, and appear too honest to steal; and the poorest left handed sight I know of is a "poor aristocrat." I am not blaming them, am sorry, truly sorry for their condi tion, and wish it were better. I see no remedy except in enduring the pen alty imposed on old grand father Adam when he and grand mother Eve got to eating them apples in the garden of Eden. Ah! old folks. How much trouble you have caused us in gratify ing your appetite. Then, again, unsophisticated Wil liam my cousin, there may be a "black sheep in every flock" and generally is, if the records are carefully searched. Now, for instance my great .great grand father with his two brothers came over to America from old Ire land long, long time ago, and they bore a big name too, but for all that, they may have had to leave t-he old country hurriedly and quickly at that for eating some one else's mutton that didn't belong to them; and* if such was the case I ain't got much of a big name to brag on. I know this much about it, it has never gotten me a loaf of bread or a nights lodging in all my born days and consequently I dont take much stock in anythingr that pays no dividends. Another thing, my lovely cousin, notwithstanding your short crop last year, you had to tramp all over the county the last fall running for the legislature. You look like a legisla ture man! Indeed! Why man it takes money to run that business, and that you ain't got nor never had to spare. You owe your tailor for your Sunday clothes and your factor has a mort gage on your farm and where in the world would you have gotten the money to run the machine if you had been elected ? It was a blessing that you were beaten and you might have expected just that, als no man can be a success in public life when his pri vate efforts are first class failures. There seems to be a pleasant delusion among a great many of our young that because their Daddies or some one of their kin held office before the war that they can just step in the old folks' shoes and should have cfcc as by right of inheritance, and scme of the old folks thinks so too. Insane ideas, fatal delusion, just such notions as these, no doubt prompted your oourse my unfortunate cousin. What are you to do? There is a plenty to do if you will only do it. Pull of your coat, roll up your sleeves and go to work. Be independent. Don't for heaven sake be a dependent. Live within your means and pay as you go or don't go; and all will be well with you yet.-Spectator. PHYSICLANS CONFESS. All honest, conscientious physicians who give B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial, frankly admit its superiority over ALL other blood medicines. Dr. W. J. Adair, Rockmart, Ga., writes: "I regard B. B. B. as one of the best blood medicines." Dr. A. H. Roscoe, Nasbville, Tenn., writes: "All reports of B. B. B. are favorable, and its speedy action is truly wonderful." Dr. J. W. Rhodes, Crawfordsille, Ga., writes: "I confess B. B. B. is the best and quickest medicine for rheamatism I have ever tried." Dr. S. J. Farmer, Crawfordsville, Ga., writes: "I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a fine tonic alterative. Its use cured an excrescence of the neck after other remedies effected no perceptible good." Dr. C. H. Montgomery, Jacksonville, Ala., writes: "My mother insisted on my getting B. B. B. for her rheumatism, as her case stubbornly resisted the usual remedies. She experienced immediate relief, and her im provement has been truly wonderful." A prominens physician who wishes his name not given, says: "A patient of mine whose case of tertiary syphilis was surely killing him, and which no treatment seemed to check. was entirely cured with about twelve bottles of B. B. B. He was fairly made up of skin and bones and terrible ul cers." John G. Borden, the condensed milk manufacturer, and a wealthy winter resident of Green Cove Springs, Florida, has offered a premium of one thousand dollars for that Florida town which is in the most cleanly condition on July 1 next. The new board of health is to -be the judge. An important innovation in pack ing the cotton crop, relating mainly to the size of the bales, was suggested in the late Louisiana agricultural con vention, and meets with great favor among the farmers of that State. The proposed plain is to reduce the bales to about 150 pounds in weight, mak ing them 14 by 16 inches thick and three feet in length. The ordinary gin house press can compress these small bales to 30 pounds to the cubic foot. The compresses only exceed this by three pounds. Three wires to be put around the bales and ovei all a bag of osnaburgs. It is stated that the expense of compressing (60 cents per bale) and of bagging and ties, on the basis of a six million bale crop, amounts to $10,000,000. It is also stated that the spinner can only utilize 80 per cent. of the cotton bales now in use, whereas lie can utilize 95 per cent. of the proposed bales.

Sumter News. -[Watchman ad Southron.] On last Thursday afternoon a little daugh ter of Mr. D. Janios Winn was painfully bitten by a dog belonging to Mr. John T. Hurst. The dog was killed. The heaviest guano receipts on record are reported in this city. Captain Brand tells us that m'ore than 1,000 tons have been de livered at this point up to date. The assigned estate of E. C. Green & Son, of which Dr. D. J. Auld was assignee, and Captain W. R. Delgar agent of creditors, has paid 41.22 per cent. net. The claims against the estate have all been settled on that basis. Rev. E. T. Hodges, a native of this State, but for some years a resident of California, has been chosen pastor of the Methodist Church in this city, vice Rev. Mr. Pike, transferred to the Florida conference. He is not expected f6r several weeks. The assets in the hands of the adminis trator of Mr. F. J. O'Connor's estate will scarcely pay 25 per cent. of the indebted ness. A claim to certain real estate, now in process of litigation, may eventually make the estate barely solvent. This state of af airs is a surprise to every one. Mr. O'Con nor was rated well, did a good business ap parently, was a bachelor whose known ex penses were of the smallest, and was nni versally supposed not only to be even with the world, but to have laid up some thou sands of dollars. Many still think that his money was deposited somewhere and will be discovered. IS CONSUMPTION INCURABLE ? Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morris, 'ewark, Ark., says: "Was down with Ab eess of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Sonsumption, am now on my third bottle, mnd able to oversee the work on my farm. [t is the finest medicine ever made."

Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the miouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend ed with a greenish-colored ex pectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl ing sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bow els become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de positing a sediment after stand ing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, some tunes with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im' paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that phy sicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei el's Curative Syrup, when ronerlnu-enm -.remove tmfuisease in al ts tages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN 'COTTON. Mr. John C. Hemptinstall, of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Co., Ala., writes: "My wife has been- so much benefited by Shaker -Extract of Roots or Seigel's Syrup that she says she would rather be without art of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medicines put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any suf ferer if he can get it in no other way. I believe it will soon sell in thins State better than cotton. TESTIONY FROM TEXAs. .Mrs. S.E. Barton, of Varner, Ripley Co., Mo., writes that she had beenlong ailicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail. SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD I was so low with dyspep. sia that there was not a ph sician to be found who could do anything with me. I had futtering of the heart- and swimming of the head.
