THE COURT.
The Court of General Sessions con
vened in Manning last Monday, witi
Hon. Ernest Gary presiding.
This is Judge Gary's first officia
to Manning, and he has made a verg
favorable impression; in fact, th<
ease and dignity with which he pre
sides would make people think thai
he is a veteran on the bench.
After the usual preliminaries foi
the organization of the court His
Honor delivered to the brand Jury
the following impressive charge:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury :
Although the duties of a grand jury uay
have been frequently explained fmiu this
seat, and may be well uLderstood by many
of you, yet as those duties are among the
most important that you owe as citizns.
they can never be too often repeated or too
fully impressed on your ninds.
The grand jury is an officer of the court,
holding as important and responsible a
position as the judge on the bench. In
order, therefore, that justice may be prop
erly administered it anust work in harmony
and co-operate pith the court. Let aie im.
press upon you that jurors are not in at
tendance upon the court for pleasure or for
the transaction of private business, but f )r
the promotion of a public duty.
The existence of society depends on the
preservation both of publi-: and private
rights from injury and violence. How imu
portant then is it that you shou.l1 exert
your energies to vindicate then.
The oath you have taken is the chart by
which you should be guided. And you
should be impressed with the importance
of each obligation imposed upon you.
You have sworn that you would dili
gently inquire and true presentment make
of all such matters and things as shall be
given you in charge. The State's counsel,
your fellows and your own you shall well
and truly keep secret You shall present
no one for envy, hatred or miahce; nor
shall you leave any one unpresented for
fear, favor, affection, reward or hope of re
ward; but you shall present all things
truly as they come to your knuowletlge ae
cording to the best of your understan.ling.
So help you God.
I hope it is not necessary for ue to
charge you that the peace and salety of
your county require of you a strict and
scrupulous ihsclharge of that portion of
your oath which enjoins upon yon to dili
gently inquire and true presentment make
of all such thing; as shall be given you in
charge.
Bringing offenders and violators of the
law to trial is so manifestly beneficial that
you can have no need of argument to be
convinced of it.
Every citizen owes it as a sociad duty to
the community to promote the prosecution
and punishment of those who violate the
laws of the land. If, then, it is the duty
of every good citizen to watch over and see
that the laws of the land are vindicated,
how much greater is the obligation on you,
to whom this public duty is particularly
assigned?
You are further sworn to present truly
all such matters as shall be givr-n you in
chsage or shall come to your knowledge;
that is, such violations of law as are net
being prosecuted, but which, if known to
you, you are bound to present, and to give
all the information you have respecting
them, in order that the parties may be
prosecuted.
To this c'ass may be referred all public
nuisances, abuses of public trust, any of
ticial misconduct or neglect of duty on the
part of those intrusted with the adminis
tration of justice, or any violation of the
statute law of the State.
Bear in mind, however, gentlemen, that
it is not only your duty to bring the guilty
to trial, but it is equally your duty to shield
and protect the innocent. The good of so
ciety does not require nor does the law ex
pect that you should subject the innocent
to the expense and annoyance of a public
pro.ecution. Let your panel be a house of
refuge and protection to the innocent.
You are further sworn to present no one
for envy, hatred or malice; nor shall you
lease any one unpresented for fear, favor,
affection, reward or hope of reward.
I trust, gentlemen, that the solemnity of
the oath you have taken and a proper re
gard for the honor and welfare of your
county will stimulate you to execute your
obligation with firmness and impartiality.
If in your judgment any existing laws
baneful to the interests of society or cdo
not tend to promote the welfare of the comn
munitv it is your prerogative to call atten
tion to the same by your preser~tment. On
the other hand, if you conceive of any
laws that would be beneficial to the public
welfare if enacted, it is your privilege to
suggest the same.
It takes twvelve of your number, Mr.
Foreman, to find a "true bill" on any in
ditment handed out to you. If, however,
after a careful consideration of the evidence
before your body twelve of your nauber
do not agree to find a trtie bill it will be
yor duty to find "no bill." .
The investigation before you is ex parte
-that is, you enamine the witnesses who
have been sworn in open court, and if
from the evidence of those witnesses you
conclude that the State has inade out a
prima facde case, that is such a case that if
the accused did not put up any testimony
in his defense, a jury would be justified in
finding a verdict of guilty when you find a
true bill.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me earn
estly impress upon you that the surest way
to prevent crime is to attend strictly to the
execution of the laws.
While the Grand Jury were out
considering the bills handed them by
the solicitor the case against Snow
Green, charged with burglary and
larceny, was tried, and resulted in
the acquittal of the defendant.
The Grand Jury brought in true
bills against Welborn Deas, William
Dickson and -Powell Dyson for house
breaking and larceny, Simon Mc
Knight for burglary and larceny,
Henry White for arson, March Green
for larceny of live stock, and Sid
Fleming and Sam Fleming for house
breaking and larceny.
The arraignment of John Richard
son for murder was then had and the
trial set for Tuesday morning.
Simon McKnight pleaded guilty to
the charge of burglary and larceny,
and was sentenced to six months in
the penitentiary.
Henry White was tried on the
charge of arson, which resulted in a
mistrial.
TUESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
The case of John Richardso'n,
charged with the murder of Oliver
Scott, came up for trial, and the
jury rendered a verdict of man
slaughter. The counsel for the de
fendant gave notice that he would
ask for a new trial.
The next case was against March
Green for larceny of live stock, and
the verdiet was guilty as charged.
He was sentenced to one year at hiaird
labor on the public works of Claren
don county, or confined at hard
labor for a like period in the State
-penitentiary.
The Grand Jury bi'ought im the
following presentment and wvere dis
charged for the term:
GRAND JURY REIPORT'l.
State of South Carolina, Clarencdon
County.-In the Court of (General
Sessions.-June Termt, 1895.-Man
ning, S. C., Junie 4.
To His Honor Ernest G-ary, Presiding
Judge :
The bills of indictmzent as handed
us by the solicitor we hiave acted oni
in accordance with instructions froim
the Court.
The report of the colmnittee to ex
amine the County Poor House is as
follows :
To Foreman and Grand Jury : As
a committee app~ointed at the Feb
ruary term of the court to investigate
tie Poor House wve beg leave to
hsrewith make our report.:
On Saturday, June i. we pafid a
isit and, to our great pleasure azgc
sa~tisfction, found everything mi
ood keeping. We first exaniined
the Superintendenlt's dwelling and,
onsidering the age of the building,
found it in very good repair with
the exception of one window shutter
n the falling-in of two fire hearths,
which we recommend being repaired.
e next examined the inmates
lin neat
and clean and in very good repair.
No complaint was made as to the
treatment, and from all appearances
the superintendent is discharging
his duties impartially and to the best
of his ability.
We also recommend the building
of two privies-one at the rear of
each row of inmates' houses, and
we would suggest the digging of a
well between and about the center
of the two rows of inmates' dwell
ings, which would add greatly to the
convenience atim comfort of the poor
inmates at a small cost to the county.
We also recommend the putting in
'of a well curb at the well, as the
post and sides are decayed and liable
to give way.
We found eleven inmates - ten
wvhite, one colored. All seemed to be
in usual health. We submit these
recommendations and suggestions
for your consideration and to insert
such as you deem expedient in your
general report. P. C. COCHRAN,
Chairman of the Committee.
The other committees are not
ready to report, but will do so at the
next term.
Our attention having been directed
to a charge against the County Treas
urer-viz., that he had paid out more
than provided for by law for pub
lishing his annual report for 1892-93,
we find after investigation that he
has paid only what the law allows
and the law leaves to his discretion
what paper he shall publish it in.
We recommend that a vauit be
attached to the Clerk of Court's of
fice for the safekeeping of public
records.
We thank Your Honor for the cour
teous treatment at your hands.
Respectfully submitted.
J. H. MCCOLLUM, Foreman.
The case against Powell Dyson.
Gus Deas and William Dickson for
breaking into and stealing a large
quantity of corn and pease from the
stables of Thomas & Bradham is
being tried as we go to press this
(Wednesday) afternoon.
Health and happiness are relative con
ditions; at any rate, there can :e little
happiness without health. To give the
body its tall measure of strength and
energy the b!o.>, shoui b- kept pure and
vigorous by th, use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A HUMOROUS FACC
About Hood's Sarsaparilla-it expels bad
humor and ereates good humor. A battle
for blood is what Hood's Sarsaparilla vigor
ously lights, and it is always victorious in
expelling foul taints and giving the vital
fluid the quality and quantity of perfect
health. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, boils
and other bl od diseases.
Hood's pills act easily, yet promptly and
efficiently on the bowels and liver. 25c.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applic.itionc, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine casas out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Scnd for circulars; free.

no reason why as good sugar can not be

in any other county in the South. Mr.
Hodge has found that he can make sugar
with considerable profit even at the present
low price, and he proposes to give more at

TROUBLES NOW ADJUSTED.
The Seaboard Restores Association Rates
and the Boycott is Raised.
MACON, Ga., June 1.-The troubles
between the Seaboard Airline railroad
and the Southern Railway and Steam
ship association have been adjusted.
The Seaboard had petitioned the fede
ral court for an injunction against the
association, whose lines had practically
boycotted the Seaboard. An exparte
injunction was granted and yesterday
set for hearing the case before Judge
Speer. A big fight was imminent.
Some of the most prominent railroad
lawyers in the country were present,
but an agreement was reached, the
terms of which are yet a secret. It is
admitted, however, that the basis of
the agreement is a contract between
the parties to the effect that the Sea
board will maintain the state commis
sion rates while the association will
raise the boycott. The temporary re
straining order has been vacated with
out prejudice to the rights of the com
plainants to again bring the matter
into court should the necessity arise.
SOME GAINS AT THE SOUTH.
The Condition of Trade as Reviewed by
Bradstreets.
NEW YORK, June 1. -Bradstreets says:
The observance of memorial day services
served to check the volume of general trade
this week, but there has been a further shrink
age in the amount of business transacted, due
to not altogether well founded fears of serious
damage to the grain crops. The bank clear
ings total for the week is only 3833.000,000. but
this Is 17 per cent heavier than in the corres
ponding week (also one day short) in 1894. As
contrasted with last week, the shrinkage is 25
per cent, and with the week two years ago
(during the panic) 7 per cent. Compared with
the last week in May.189, the falling off this
week is 13 per cent.
The tendency of prices this week is again
upward. notably .p for steel and iron, which
are in better demand, despite higher prices, as
are cereals and cotton, and leather and shoes,
which, with some other staples, in all sixteen,
close higher on the week.
There are some gains at the south, with im
proved agricultural prospects in Tennessee
affecting business at Nashville. Memphis and
Chattanooga. Only a moderately active de
mand in a few lines is announced from Atlanta,
Savannah and at Jacksonville, where the vege
table crop is the largest for years. There is an
improved demand at New Orleans, and buyers
are showing more of a tendency to anticipate
wants.

3lhija:r H. Frank Wilson, president of the
Sumter Institute, had been selected tc. ae
iver the a hIress of the occasiion, and
hose wh. have heardl Mr. Wilson b 1fore,
can imagine what a splendid address he is
apable of delirering, and what he would
o on such ant occasion as this.
Being introduced by Mr. J. HI Lesesne,
who alluded to his attainments in secret
fraternities, in the halls of legislation, and
n the forum, Major Wilson said that
hatever merit he had attained to in the
secret fraternities, in the halls of legisla
tion, in the forum. or wherever else, they
all tank into significance when compar~d
with the grand nd noble work of edo
cation. He then launched oat into one of
as characteristically fine addresses of
about thiriv inute.,' duration, which com:
pltely- captured his hearers. Hie received

WAGE WAR IN COURT
South Carolina Dispensary Con
stables Openly Arrested.
VIOLATION OF INJUNCTION ORDERS.
The Officers Get Bold. and Seize the Jugs,
Despite the Proper Label --For Per
sonal Use Only"-Coming to
a Speedy Crisis.
CoL.ua, S. C., June 1.-Governor
Evans has given the state liquor con
stables strict instructions to wage a re
lentless war against the blind tigers
and has advised them to seize all liquor
packages shipped into the state which
in their judgment is not for the "per
sonal use" of the consignees. In con
sequence of these instructions and in
view of the fact that no one whose
liquor has been seized seems disposed
to have the constable punished for the
violation of Judge Simonton's order of
injunction, the constables have become
very bold and this week no end of jugs
and small kegs coming from North
Carolina have been seized. Most of
these jugs conic addressed to the con
signee in proper form and bear the ad
tional inscription "for personal use on
ly," yet they have been seized. Yes
terday several citizens of Columbia
concluded to submit to this no longer
and one swore out a warrant for the
arrest of the constables before United
States Commissioner Banskett, for the
violation of the injunction orders. To
day a United States deputy marshal
will serve the warrants. Other pro
ceedings of a like character will prob
ably follow.

UnitiL States bonds amounts to $184,
909,578, an increase for the month of
$2,425,254, and for the twelve months
of S4.450,230. The circulation secured
by lawful money aggregates $20,631,434,
a decrease for the month of S75,148,
and for the year of $212,9S3. The
amount of United States registered

THIRTY-THREE WERE DROWNED
Terrible Disaster to a Number of Canadian
Lumbermen.
OTTAWA, Out., June 1. -Details have
reached this city of a terrible accident
which occurred on the Spanish river,
by which thirty-three men lost their
lives. The victims were lumbermen.
They had camped for the night on a
crib of square timber, moored to shore
near the head of the rapids, which at
this point are very precipitous and
rocky. All had gone to sleep without
leasing a watchman to guard the crib.
Somehow during the night the crib
broke from its mooring and carried the
cargo of the sleeping men, all unmind
ful of their fate, into the surging
waters below. The crib was broke to
pieces on the rocks, and not a man es
caped. ________
THE FIRST IRON FRCM CUBA.
Unmstakable Evidence of a Revival of the
iron Trade In spaIn.
Purn.simE.rnIA, Pa., June 3. - The
first cargo of iron ore from the mines
of the Spanish-American Iron company,
located on the south side of Cuba, ar
riving at this port last night on the
British steamship Mossosoit. This car
go is the first shipment out of about
50,000 tons of the ore which have been
sold to pig iron manufacturers in
eastern Pennsylvania, and it has the
double significance of indicating un
mistakably a revival of the pig iron
trade, and of promising a large amount
of additional tonnage at this port.
THE NEW CABINET SLATE.
Rumors of Various Transfers Bring Acting

WAS~lnisTox. D. C.. June 1.--Specu

veloped a cabinet slate which tranfers
Attorney General Olney to the state
department; Postmaster General Wil
son to the department of justice, vice
Olney, and Acting Secretary Uhl, of
the state department to the postoffice
department, vice Wilson. These, of
course, arc simply speulations, but the
sources from which they originate'sug
gest that they may be put out as "feel
