For exercising his own judg ment and in the performance of his duty as he saw it for the best interests of his constituency, Senatos McLaurin has certainly created a big sensation and has brought down upon his devoted head the unfavorable comments of the moss-back and hide-bound journals of this and adjoining States. The refreshing and manly in dependence of Senator McLaurin on many crucial occasions, how ever, in refusing to surrender .-. isconvictions on national issue and blindly follow the lead of party whips regardless of what influence such action might exert upon the business interests of the country, will in the end win for him the high regard and es teem of the more advanced thinkers of the age, and history will yet write his name high upon the scroll of fame as one of the profoundest and most liberal minded statesmen and the most progressive Democrat the South has ever sent to Congress. Those who have risen up against him and are crying so lustily "Crucify him! Crucify him!" are, as a rule, first the most narrow minded, illiberal spirited and uninformed element of the party. They can be ap propriately classed as the old time and sworn enemies of that faction of the State Democratic party which has elevated him to his honorable position. They are of that household of faith whose essential tenet is their di vine right to interpret the stand ards of the party and a refusal to accept their interpretation as infallible is, in their opinion, at least, traitorous to the party and hence worthy of the severest condemnation; and second, are politicians whose dearest hope is to be benefited by the downfall of Mr. McLaurin whose term in the Senate has been marked with a brilliancy that even the mis representations of his detractors can not dim. His severest critics are those who are raking over the ashes of the dead past and are endeavor ing to revive the days when the slave-holding Democracy was en thr-oned and dictated the ,politi cal policy of the Southern States, making the blind allegiance and implicit obedience to their man dates, whether right or wrong, the unvarying test of one's loy alty to the party's principles. They have seemingly forgotten that the days of star chambers have passed and for one to do his own thinking and to give ex pressions to his own opinions is no longer a crime against high heaven. But is Mr. McLaurin a traitor to his party? Has he in the least betrayed the confidence of his constituency, and has he gone back on the platform upon which he was elected? We sub mit that he is not and has not. He is a legitimate offspring of the new school of Southern Democracy, which has for its object the upbuilding of the man ufacturing,.agricultural and in dustrial interests of the New South, and he stands pledged to the Democratic voters of this State to support any and all measures tending toward foster ing and protecting these indus tries. On this promise and on these very issues he was called from the lower house to assume graver and more important du ties in the upper house of Con gress. He made his canvass for the Senate on a clearly defined protective tariff, and incidentally a ship subsidy platform, and on that platform, after his recordi had been attacked from one end of the State to the other by shrewd politicians, was trium phantly nominated in a Demo cratic primary, defeating his three .strong opponents in the. first round. He has stood square ly and uncompromisingly on that platform from that day until now and his every vote has been con sistent and in perfect harmony with that platform. In no in stance has he proven a traitor and under no circumstances has he betrayed his constituents. His course in the Senate has been manly, upright and consis tent with his campaign promises. In conclusion we would re spectfully remind those who are hugging the delyision to their breast that Mr. McLaurin is a dead duck in the political arena, that they will surely realize, if they are alive, that the result of the Democratic primary will re veal the'surprising fact that he is a pretty lively corpse.-Lex ington Dispatch.

At this meeting the plans and specifi cations for the State building will be submitted and in a few days bids will be advertised for. We hope some of our mechanics about Manning will take a hand in trying to get the contract. The State building will cost about $25,000. STATE OF OHIo. CITY OF TOLEDO, LUcAs COUNTY. FRANK J.

Watts the presiding Judge opened the proceedings promptly Monday morning, and both the grand and petit jurors re sponded promptly to their names, which greatly aided His Honor and Solicitor Wilson in the organization of the court. As soon as the grand jury was empanelled Judge Watts appointed Mr. R. S. Fleming foreman, but Mr. Fleming asked to be excused as he lived a great distance from the court house and the position might prove an inconvenience to him. The Judge ap preciating Mr. Fleming's condition, stated that he only desired the foreman should be a business man, and as the members knew the composition of their body better than he, the suggestion was made by him that they retire and make a selection. This was done and in a few moments they returned an nouncing Mr. A. I. Barron foreman. Judge Watts delivered the usual for mal charge, calling atttention to the duties devolved upon a grand jury and defining their powers and privileges. The first case tried was against John Lewis and Bill Conyers charged with grand larceny. Lewis pleaded guilty and Conyers was put upon trial and acquitted. Immediately after the ac guittal of Conyers, Lewis was sentenced to the chaingang for two years and six months. Then came a perfect avalanche of pleading guilty "and ask for mercy from the court." George Epperson, resisting an officer, sentenced to pay a fine of $40 or work ,n chaingang for 3 months. Guy Jackson, orand larceny, to chain gang for a perio of 10 months. Richmond McDuffie, burglary and Larceny 3 months on chaingang. Grant Nelson, larceny of live stock 12 nonths on chaingang and pay a fine >f $1. Micheal Lourie and Lawrence De Lane, grand larceny. Lowrie got 15 nonths and DeLaine 18 months on 3haingang. Goodman Taylor, househreaking and arceny. He entered a house and stole i Bible; 7 months on chaingang. True bills were also returned in the ollowing cases: Walter Epps, murder.. William Scott, assault and battery, ntent to kill. Ed Dingle, murder. When Grant Nelson pleaded guilty md received his sentence Alex Tindal, a very respectable colored farmer, ap aroached the Solicitor and asked, "Mr. Wilson if I'buy that nigger, by paying bis fine would the State protect me?" The Solicitor asked Tindal if he had been reading about t-he Anderson stock de cases, and advised him to not yen ure into such a scheme. Tindal evi iently wanted a laborer, and he did ot think there would be anything wrong in paying the fellow off from the :haingang and get his labor, probably :heaper than a regularly hired man w-ould cost. But the Solicitor's frown yonvinced Tindal that to establish a small size stockade on his place might 2t be tolerated by the law. Tuesday morning the court proceeded with the trial of Walter Epps, charged with the murder of William Evans of Alclu.. Some time last November Evans, the eceased, was found dead in a shanty :ear Alderman's mill, with a bullet ole in his head. Epps had been stay Eng in the shanty and'he was arrested n suspicion. The testimony was en irely circumstantial and parts of it pointed with suspicion towards the pris >ner, but the jury very properly gave b~im the benefit of the doubt and ren ered a verdict of not guilty. M. C. Galluchat, Esq., in behalf of George Epperson, who had been con ricted and sentenced to three months >n the chaingang or to pay a fine of $40, etitioned the court to permit the said Epperson to enter into bond for the payment of the fine. The judge grant d the petition, and upon Epperson giv :ng bond for $100, he wili have until the ext term of the court to pay the tine. The next case was against Chovine refferson and Jeff Keels, charged with yreaking into the depot at Summerton md staling therefrom a jug of whisky. Jefferson pleaded guilty and was sen ~enced to eight months on the chain rang. Keels, his partner, was put on rial, convicted and sentenced to twelve nonths on the gang. James Green, charged with killing >y burning Anderson Rich an infant. vas arraigned, and not having counsel, Kis Honor appointed WV. C. Duflant i~sq.. to defend the prisoner. Trial set or tomorrow afternoon. The case against J. W. Heriott, ~harged with the killing of Win. Wil ;on was tried, and resulted in an ac ~uittal. The testimony showed clearly hat the killing was accidental, and the ury in a few moments returned a ver lict of Not Guilty. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT. L'o the Hon. R. C. Watts, Presiding Judge March Term, 1901. We the grand jury drawn for the rear 1901 would beg to hand your Honor this our first presentment: First-All of the bills of indictment ianded us by the Solicitor have had our areful attenition and reports have been nade thereon. Our time has been occupied by the past two da vs in acting upon bills and we have not as yet made any examina :ion of the county jail or the public of ices. These matters will have due con sideration later, and we will report to the court at some subsequent term. In rder that we may enter into a thor ugh examination of the county offices, we have appointed a special committee rrom our number, consisting of Messrs. R. J. Alderman. WV. H. Bradham and . I. Barron, to attend to this matter t some future time andl make a report o us. The matter of awar-ding the county >rinting by the county commissioners ias been brought to our attention and ~omplaints have been made, and also e county commissioners have made a We have appointed a special commit tee from our number, consisting of E P. Geddings, R. J. Alderman and A. I Barron, to investigate the matter an report their findings at the next terr of the ccurt. We have had before us the dockets c all of the magistrates of the county with the exception of those of Magis trate J. F. Richbourg of Packsville which were not available-at this tern of the court, and as far as we have bee able to ascertain there are no matter for us to report against the said magi trates. Complaint has been made to us tho the bridge across the mill race near th mill house at Tindal's mill is too nai row, and there are no railings to ii We recommend that the said bridge b made w der, and that hand railings b placed at all the bridges at Tindal mill crossing. We have had presented to us severe school claims, contracted during th year 1898. for maps and charts fui nished to the following school district: School District No. 18. the sum of $7' School District No. 7. the sum of SG( School District No. 3, the sum of $85.5( School District No. 12, the sum of 87h School District No. 6, the sum of 84 These claims were contracted in favo of W. W. Tutville and each are signe by the respective boards of trustees c these districts or a majority thereof. The claims, it seems, were approve by the then existing school commit sioner, but for some reason were hel up and not paid. We understand tha there has been recent legislation prc viding for their payment upon the al: proval of the grand jury. In case suc] legislation has been enacted, we wouli recommend that the ch :.iins be pai by the treasurer of the county as sou as there are any funds in the respect ive districts applicable thereto. We have had presented to us a clait for $15 due to Mr. E. J. Browne for ser vices rendered to the grand jury fo the year 1900. There was no Octobe term of the court that year and th claim could not be approved by th grand jury. We recommend that th same be paid by the county commission ers. We have great complaint on accoun of road overseers throughout the coun ty not doing their duty. and we hereb: give warning that at the next term o the court we will make presentation for neglect of these duties unless ther is improvement in the roads whicl come under the direct attention of the overseers. We recommend that an overseer b< appointed to look after the road in St Mark's township leading from the Wil liamsburg line to old Rehoboth churcl and known as the Santee road. In conclusion we desire to thank you: Honor for your courteous treatmen and instructions, which have aided u greatly in the discharge of our duties A. I. BARRON, Foreman. March 26, 190i. The court opened this Wednesda; morning with the trial of Ed Dingle charged with the shooting and killing of Jane Gamble. W. C. Davis Esq. represents the prisoner and as soon a: the jury was charged, Captain Davi: moved to have all the witeesses ex eluded from the court room. The testi mony was all in by noon, and at th4 request of the defendants counsel, cour took a recess until afternoon, when the argunents will begin. The impressioi seems to be that the State has no made out its case beyond a reasonablE doubt, the evidence going to show tha Dingle killed the woman accidentall: while in a play.
