PKE8EXTMEXT OF GRAND J111Y,
^ Below Is published the presentD
msnt of the Grand Jury made upon
the conclusion of their labors at
^ the recent term of the Court. It is
a Stronr and able uaner. reflecting
P credit upon the Grand Inquest of
w the County and giving evidence of
m the ability, intelligence and strength
of character of the citizens who com
L pose that body, while it is worthy to
P he filed among the archives of the
County aa the first General Present-,
P ment of the first Grand Jury of th^
? flrat Court held in and for the Cov,?
p ty of Dillon. Judge Prince com'^ij.
mented them in the most flattening
terms upon their final report/ ami

charged their duties, lie InVpressed

Grand Jurors ob\\?S.Vl? {0 i)riUg ViOlators
of the law to Justice,
iv. it Is gratifying to note the sen;(/
Bible way in which the grand jury
a disposed of the charges in referW
once to the last primary election.
? Doubtless there was, by some of
IP the candidates, conduct subjecting
themselves to severe criticism, but
P there were no specific charges, and
it was unjust that the entire counP
ty should be condemned by the outside
world for the misconduct of a
k few of its citizens. It will be noted
also that certain charges in
k reference to the Maplo Mill poll
poll are not sustaiued by the grand
^ Jury, and Inasmuch as these charP
ges were given full publicity in
jfofe these columns at the time they were
P made, the sweeping denial of the
grand jury is given equal protniK

To the Honorable George K.
Prince, Presiding Judge:
We. the Grand Jury, empanelled
JHRK for the County of Dillon for t.lie
IHtf present year, upon theconclusion of
HUuff our labors for the pending term of
IV2 the Court of General Sessions, beg
^ J| leave to submit the following genP
jH ?ral Presentment:
\ W 1. We have passed upon the
A bills submitted to us by the soilc<9
tor and returned the same unto the
h loB Court with our findings endorsed
r djj thereon.
3. The Grand Jury has inudc no
P to*-. effort to examine the offices and
books of the different County offiW
sere more especially for the rea
son that these have but recently
fc> Qti*l If led and entered upon the dis?
' charge of their respective duties,
hence thsy have scarcely had the
time or opportunity to get their
offices organised or their books in
BTjV yroper shape. A committee has
* been appointed, however, consisting
wj- of E. T. Elliott, as Chairman. J. D.
RV\ Iteming and Morris Fass, who will
p examine these offices and books durlog
the recess, and make their repoi
Kg ho the Grand Jury as a whole, the
Ky results of which will be embodied
^ In the general presentment to be
submitted to the next term of this
Court. Among the books to be exV
' amined are the dockets of the sevA
-5 eral Magistrate's of this County,
li?- We have been advised that the statutes
ef this State require "All Magy
istrates to submit their dockets quar
tsrly to the County Board of Comb
missloners at their regular quarter
IT meetings, ana sa>a noaras, res^
pectively, shall make report annu?
ally, prior to the Fall term of Court
7 to the Foreman of the Grand Jury
* as to said dockets, and any irregk
nlarlties shown thereby". We prer
iume that the County Board or com
miss loners will perform the duty im^
posed upon them, both to inuke^the
quarterly examinations and the^ter
port to the Grand Jury, yet we an
admonished by your Honor's charg|
it that this statutory duty on the
SK part of the County Board of ComJft
mlaaloners does not relieve the
MK Grand Jury of examining these dock
ata. This committee will.therefore,
require each Magistrate of the Coun
Km ty to appear before them with their
ImBL cItII and criminal dockets, to be exflap,
amtned as rigidly as the bookH of
fcKfcq hay ether County officer.
V 0j> i l. in this connection we desire
I encl 10 r?Port that we have made aa
i i.uttt thorough Investigation as we could
i Marl of the matters embraced in the pat
bla hot* turned over to us by your Honthe
or We ?re Informed that the Idea
Qjfifv that they had the legal right and
fgOt It has been the custom of all the
klHB Magistrates and constables of the
County, to collect and appropriate
SV to their own use costs and fees from
fly defendants In criminal cases. Actjgf
lng upoa this Idea, some of the
r Magistrates and Constables have
been snive re sct*iein?j cases, requir
tii iv ^11 ^
11 - TlTirMM
ing the parties, however, to pay at
costs, and in some instances a sum K
rar In excess of the amount allow- W
ed by the fee bill. Some of the fi
cases, too were beyond their juris- G
diction to try, and some were even
af an infamous character. This cus- F
torn or practice, the Grand Jury is a?
determined, so far as lies in its pow 01
sr. to stop if bringing the guil- | \\
ty parties to the bur of justice will It
have that effect Section !I94 of rt
the civil Code provides "that the
Magistrates now in ofifce. or here- ai
after to he appointed, shall receive g<
annual salaries in lieu of all fees tl
and costs in criminal cases or pro- H
ceedings" etc.. and like provisions \\
exists in regard to constables. It A
is clear therefore, that neither
Magistrate or Constable can retaiiWc
to his own use any money coll-cledl
or received in any criminal case or^ t
proceeding, whether as costs, feet * J a
fines or penalties, from the defi , I ,
dant or otherwise, atul a sect on ol- I (

the Grand J)Jry i1as concluded to j
take, at prevent, no action. We put l(
Magistrates* Constables. on no- ,|
tioc that tf,ey wjij hereafter he held |
to a strict accountability so far as t<
we are f'oncerned for the manner in (5
I which '"jiey perform their duties. j1
Kspeoi:, j!y would we call aUentttittm
to the faC(i according to the infor^ y
mali*in jriven us, that few. if any. 5
'.lie Constables appointed by the ]
Magistrates have qualified by til- ;
*ng with the Clerk a certificate of j}fis
appointment giving bond, tak- ,
,ung oath of office. It is report- i
1 ed, toe? that some of them refuse or i
are reluctant to perforin any of the ]
duties of the office except to draw (
liis the salary Whether a constable
is entitled to the salary until he (
has qualified according to law we ,
are not advised, hut we hope that
the County lloard of Commissioners
will carefully guard the right of t
^fitizcu in this respect.
\/ I. The Grand Jury lias alscrv
^examined, as fur as deemed nec<-s- ^
sary or proper, the papers turned
! over to them by your Honor and
\ other papers handed them in rcfcr.
ence to the manner in which the late
i primary election in this County was
j conducted. No specific charge is
made, and no particular individual
1 is named except in one instance and
. upon investigation, we find that
charge absolutely unfounded. No
class of our fellow citizens are more
patriotic, intelligent and indepeud\
eut than are the mill operatives, and
"any intimation or insinuation that
. they, or any of them were coerced,
; intimidated, threatened or unduly
influenced to support 01 to vote
against any candidate, or that the
election at that poll was not eonducted.
the count made, and the result
declared fairly, honestly and
promptly, and in accordance with
law and the rules of the party, is
without support in fact ami wholly
gratuitous. That the voters whose
financial and physical condition carries
them to the cotton factories in
' order to better make an honest support
for themselves and family, are
open to moral suasion and their
! judgment appealed to as in Unease
of other ltooiI ellit.phk is; i:it
, doubtly true, but that they wore, or
that any attempt or effort was made
,/ to, intimidate, threaten or unduly
influence them, or that the count
was not honestly made and the re,i
suit promptly declared, as in other
polls in the county,is unsupported
by any testimony worthy of cred.
ence and belief. That there was
conduct subjecting many of the cnn.
didates to criticism can not be denied,if
repeated rumors have any
|] foundation. It is currently reported
that whiskey was used and certain
persons were nominally hired to
I, work in the interest of the iudlvid
i ual candidate. The use of iutoxi
icating liquors in an election is
l' not only legally but morally wrong
. and should bring upon tlie. eandie
dates making use of the vile and
} degrading stuff the condennuition
[1 and opprobrium of every se^f res,
pecting and honest voter. The use
i of money, or bribery in any form,
to influence an elector carries with
, it but ont idea, that of corruption
in both the bribed and briber. We
. are soon to enter Upon another po.

. with the charge of the Court, the
Grand Jury serves notice upon each

his campaign will be watch.

Izen as to. oi attempt to. debauch

^Complaint has been made to the

In conclusion the Grand Jury take \

citizens upon the establisliiuent

ion of a hope long deferred. It
vas witli regret that we felt called
ipoti to part with our fellow citi- '
a us of the other portion ol' the old
uiunty. with whom we had been so '
ong and pleasantly associated as <
nembers of the same body politic.
>ut no unprejudiced mind, ncquained
with the conditions, can but aptreciate
the propriety and almost no
ossitv of the severance of these two
ies. and tlie establishment of the
few County. Having our county es
ahlishod and organized, and the
iream of many years realized in full
Tuition, the Grand Jury expressed
lie earnest hope* that not only the
lewly elected and appointed couny
officials, who are just entering up
m tlie discharge of the high and immrtaiit
duties of their respective po
sitions, liut the citizenship at large,
will show themselves worthy of selfgovernment
and of their newly ncinired
rights, lint will so conduct
hemselves that Dillon County will
lie distinguished and recognized not
inly as one of the most prosperous
ind progressive, hut the peer of the
aost governed and most, orderly and
law-abiding counties of (lie wliole^'

The Grand Jury sincerely tluinks you
Honor tor the clear comprehensive
ind impressive charge given them,
whereby they have been enabled the
more clearly to recognize their duties,
and to appreciate fully thesoleninityand
obligation of the oath taken
by them, and the duty and obligation
due to their County and fellow
citizens. Especially do they endorse
and approve all that your Hon
r?r said iti reference to the important
subject of education, and the solemn
obligation resting upon every
community to sustain in its midst a
good school, thereby to furnish to
the youth of the land an opportuni^
to obtain a common school oduNOWISTH
