Ho that (f any. one should ask you about these things your answer should be -My oath prevent* tny telling. 'Again, yon should present no one Tor envy,/hatred or’malice, nor le'ave any one uhpresented through fear. faVor of J ffection.

BURNING IN BAMBERG.’ r '‘The Fire Fiend” here like “Jack, the Ripper” of Wnitechapel fame, will not down. .Sunday night about -l o’clock the forage house of G. F. Bam berg! in the rear,of his stables, waa die- entefed to be on fire and in a short while was in ashet. A light'wind blowing from th«^ South-West carried the flames to the residence of E. C. Bruce, which was alsfi consumed, the greater par’tnf the household effects be ing removed before and during the burning. The residence and cottage of J. IVMurphv for awhile were in dan ger but through tin strenuous efforts of the bucket brigade we mqaved. In surance an O K. Bamlterg’s barn Is UKX^and on E C. Bruce’s dwaHIn^ $100. It D rumored today that a large rewnrd will soon be offered by |he law, sufferer* by (lie and tiie insurance com panies and if such be a fact it may soon become hot for the "bouse de stroyers.” D. ROBBERS RETURNED. ' x Expert safe blower* paid the Willis- ton Post ntlice tj>«*r respects a second time on Friday night. Nobody knew of their coming or going. Wlien the office was opened Saturday morning it was found ti.atTTie sale had been artis tically broken open. The outer'door was torn open by the explosion, hut inner was blown inward and wedged so tightly that tiie robbers could not pull It out. They were probably too much frightened to risk a second' ex plosion. The safe contained about ftiflO in government fund* and 1100 in dispen sary money. A few dollars worth of stamps we're taken. Several tramp* were In town on Fri day, but their passing through D an every day occurrence Some think that Old Joe A Vo. who robbed tbe safe successfully last year had a hand in this attempt O/d Joe and one of his junior partners escaped about 20th of 'January from On? North Carolina Pen itentiary, where they were serving sen tence for the first robbery of the Wii- Iistou-Post office. While In Barnwell jail OhIJoe boasted that no prison In the South could hold him, and it looks ' i ' _ - ically expended; . that each public of. ffeer—Sheriff.. Pfobste- Judge, Clerk, Master, County Supervisor, Dispenser and others faithfully dDeh'Trgrvhis du ties: also that their bonds are good, a* it may be that since their bond* were given sureties have been embarrassed and the bond* now Head to lie strength ened, andTT so you should repdr^ TTfe" fact. You should see that all the pub He offices are supplied with the requi* ite and proper fnrni ure, and that the hooka of account, Ac., belonging there in are properly-kept’ Y r ou should see that the jail is in a clean and wholesome condition. Pris oners are not entrifieri to the very best .’tcctfnnnodarions, hut to good water, bedding and food, frysli aii—such ac- conimodations as are worthy <>f our civ ilization. And you should also see that the same requi'•ementsHre^*bserved to ward* the inmates of the Poor llnnse. By a recent act wf the l.egislature tnag- ivtrates are requi^d to submit their docket* to each quarterly metting of the County Boai/.d of Commissioners, and they in'turn are to make a report thereon to the grand jury t>ilnr to the tall term of Court. These reports should contain an itemized statement of all money* received, names of the parties paying, Ac. You should see that'the Coroner does not go beyond lit* powers. A coroner’s jury some times acquits a man on the ground of accident, but It Is the coroner’s tinty in case of accidental homicide to biad over the accused to Ctrtirt. He cannot- try a man, but simply ascertain how, and by what means, and tty whom a peison comes to hi* death. He* cart not justify or egciue. The grand Jury should recommend in their prtAent- tuenit any improvement they conceive should be made in the laws or in the condition of public matters,, but not take it for granted that their suggest ions have been carried out, danger of their being pigeon holed or overlooked. They should follow up their suggestions, see whose duty it wa* to otr-erve'them and if any have neglected'td do so, and the Court will see that lie does it, or shows good reas on vhy he does not. I would call your attention to several matters recorn- meu4«d by the last grand jury. I do not, of course, know whe her they have been attended to or not. It will lie for. you to take nothing for granted but to see that the recommendations have been carried out H Fiifct. t’jey recommended that the proportion of one mill of the school fund be raising a Magistrates were binding over too many wittjesses to the Courts. This is a crying evil. The witnesses are not st fault, but are hound to obey the pro cessor the Court, and should he paid, but none except material witnesses should he bound over. 3d, It was stated that tile public road to Rivers Bridges was in a condition dangerous to travellers and animals, and that It should be repaired. Again, that along the public roads where there are barbed wire fence*, particularly at the Zis*et place, no top boards are fixed. The law require* a top board to be lixed oy er every barbed wire fence whhn ib runs along public highway, a* a warning and protection to travellers 'jjtqd aoimjils, and in every insiauce where one ha^ neglected to perform such dufy' resting on him he should be prosecuted. Such, fences have been the source of mitcji trouble and misfortune. • The offences ^murder, assault with Intent to kill, housebreaking, larceny, Ac., presented in blftlv-ggainst defend ants were then deflned, ^nd the jury was told that in all cases of homicide the safe and proper pra'ctico waaro find n true hill, in order that the matter might la* put at rest. A true hill-rfl not mean that a man is guilty, but he should be tried. They should no COURT NOTES In culture and scholarly attainment Judge llcnet rank* lirct among tiie foremost wise men of thc State.
