rsum required eaclv'yenr to keep the highways and public roads in passable condition, and if collected in small amounts, as is the usual mode, will be ' fritted away in re^ pairs which will finally amount to nothing. Having a sum sufficient to enable them to put the highways and roads in first class condition, 9 it will not cost a great deal to keep them up hereafter. In this con nection the grand Jury would sav. however, that they hifcye constituted themselves a committee on the % whole to aid and . assist the county board of commissioners in the per-' ^ formance of the important duties devolved upon them bv this Act of 9 the general assembly, iud they will watch the action of I the county board of commissioners whh that zealous care which It is the duty of every' citizen to bestow upon a I work of such great. public importance. 7. The grand jury presents William Herring, alia* Bill Herring, and Alpheus Rogers, alias Alph Rogers, for breaking in the guard house at Pages Mill on the , . day of July, A. D.. 1910 and rescuing and aiding and aiding and assisting certain prisoners therein confined to escape. Witnesses: Z. A. Powell, R. L. Smith, Albert Herring, Creighton Arnett, Henry Herring, W. J. Ford and Frank Shooter. In conclusion the graud jury returns to Your Honor their thanks for the clear and earnest charge given them by Your Honor, and which has enabled them to understand and comprehend mort fully the duties devolving upon them as a grand inquest of the county. Their thanks are ulso due to the solicitor for the able assistance he has rendered them and they de sire to express their appreciation on the earnest manner in which he discharges the duties of his posi1 tlon. - i They also thank the clerk, sheriff and other officers of the court for the assistance rendered them.

American.) Some vivacious Frenchmen once said that a man is as old as he feels and a woman is as old as she looks. I do not propose to be drawn into any discussion of woman. She is no more to be improved than a calla lily is to be improved. Moreover, fiy pencil, however, kiudly. Is too coarse for what peachblow delicacy the subject ? would demand. It would be as I thorough as stovedore handled spun glass or Irish lace. As to the animal man, howevei. 1 * feel more sure as to my ground. Grunting then that the vivacious Frenchman wag right, Senator Tillman?born in 1847?is much older than his age. ^ Mr. Tillman first burst upon an unguarded world linked to that | humble vegetable, the potato. Mr. Tillman wanted certain things to | occur in the destiny of the potato, and he went to a farmers' convcn) N tion and laid bare his views. So earnest was he in his advocacy of ) the potato that other delegates took affront and assailed Mr. Tillman. " Being a man of his hands?and feet k ?Mr. Tillman distinguished him' self in these bickerings and thrash| ed several sons of the soil until they endorsed his potato position. ) Mr. Tillman resolved to make the potato an issue ar.d carry it before | the people. Organizing his henchmen of the hills, he led thepi * ^ against the patricians of the low. lands, who lacked in reverence for * the potato. He ran for the office | ' of Governor and was elected. This was in 1890. He was elected again^ ) in 1892. When he became Governor and ) bad moved into the Executive Mansion, Mr. Tillman found broad I green lawn in front. Full of a potato slncereity, and condemning " blade and blossom as the merest k badges of an oppressed pluctocracy, he ploughed up the lawn and plant* | ed it in potatoes. The peasantry 4^ passing were pleased with the po} tatoes in Tillman's wool hat. The nntntA-hnflner I ** - )... Tillman and his lawn-wasting agriculture as the merest mountebank and his trick, k As to his personal appearance, Mr. Tillman is a fashion of sedate I Cyclops. Only his one eye does not blaze from his forehead, but adorns the starboard side of his head. Some with a bent to admire ApMlk Mr. Tillman have told how he lost the eye in a field of South Caroi f lina honor. This is imagination. His biography lays his optical loss at the door of sickness, while hisW torlana who know the Tillman youth, tell of Its b*lng sacrificed on m the altar of accl^nt Of medium site, with a face made grim and slnster by the eye abseav - 4 ( teeism quoted. Mr. Tillman, when all is said, is a hit impressive. His pro- B file is like the side view of a rip K saw. His face is strong, not hand- B some, and resembles the raw face of D a cliff, laid bare by some recent B landslide. His jaw, b^ond and bony, ( confers an iron hound effect. He;V doesn't look like a humorist, and he isn't. ^ Experience has shown that Mr. K Tillman, like every true-born poli- R cian, 1b extremely b ird to kill. B That, however, argues nothing for C either his noble strength or size. |B Cats are hard to kill. Once upon a mt time a ham possessed a superfluous ' Pf cat. He carried it a mile, tied *l ' PC stone to its neck with all the care K of life, and tossed it with a most K iuiiciui 9i>iu?u mio inp aeep iock ^2 of a canal. Sauntering homeward a Bi ' henae of duty well performed curling D about his heart's roots the man V ! found the cat on the doorsteps dry-,ff 1 ing Its fur And so with Mr Till- lF man. Carry him as far as you Kj I choose, tie every stone or error or K | misdeed about his neck, toss him in- K j to the deepest waters of condemna- R Ition, and an hour later he will ho Bi : found sitting on the political door- ^ i step ready to rush inside the mo- JF mem you lift the latch. P The Tillman war record is brief,! BF | not bloody. Jn 18'",4 he got ready to ? join the Confcderaieariny but for- R jtunately?u>r the Yankees?fell ill Kfl : in time to head his valor off. When he got well he became farmer of 2M the son whose in; in crop is office. I Mr. Tillman sowed the eoi.imon pre IN I judice to reap preferment for hint- fcfjj Mr. Tillman fought Gen. Butler Kfl j for the seat he now holds. After PU the fashion ol their region. Mr. Till- K i man and Mr. llutler met in "joint R: ! bate. These collisions were made 1 up of nine-tenths villifieation, one- & ! tenth debate. They were cuntnnker- V ous rather than controversial. Whatever fault may be found of K Mr. Tillman in the land at large in ? 'the Palmetto rattlesnake region he K I represents he is regarded as the K modern I>emasthenes. In dout-h R j Carolina oratory demands that you | call somebody a liar and quote D Shakespeare, and the speeches of ^ Mr. Tillman abounded in these par-.Jf ! ticulars.
