PRKSKNT- A document which meana more to the people of Colleton County than the Governor's message or the nu.j*age of the President of the United Str-tes, was read In open court Monday afteriHton by H. R. Padgett. Eaq. expert of thb Grand Jury. This document followed aev- «k days of hard vferk by the mem bers of the said Jury, and Is pre- auned to be c- document entirely f.ce from prejudice and favor and composed entirely of the impartial and sane findings of the only body of officials in the coutty who are vested with such authority. It is presumed that the recommendations of this body of men in the present ment read were carefully consider ed and cautiously made. Fortunately, or unfortunately, r-t assy be said When the presentment Is anwtse or wise, the presentments of grand Juries In Colleton county carry but UttJe weight. In fact one Is constrained to pause and think whether or not there la much nae to stir up a hornet's nes| pe riodical!)' unless more attention were pcid to it. Aa it has been heretofcie, the Solicitor draws up a General Order, which Is filed along with the presentment, and otralghtwi-y the presentment and the recommendations are forgotten, except sometimes a candidate for public office who has beer* praised by the grand Jury unearths that part of the presentment which brags on him. and uses it on the stump to get the "dear peepul” to elevate him a little higher or to give him another pull at the public pap; or perhaps some enter- prising candidate craftily pulls tho Garnd Jury's presentment on bio opponent to show that he has failed to me&oure qp to his duties, os per tho "stoonth" presentment. So much for general remarks on prooeatments, which may or may mot bo believed, which convinces ao that too average man loves to think bo is fooling somebody. Rv- orybbdy knows that the Gracd Jary Just makss a show at being r%ktoons. If you please.

But this editorial to not lutoadod to bo a presentment 0 the Ofaad Jury especially of this Oraad Jury because It baa done mtn that* baa boon done la sever al Pfara.' Wo cut cot oay that wo like tho teas of too Oraad Jury’s present- Wo think It had too dyspep- koa It wao dollvortag Itself tte findings. For Instance, lot us ate Mo remarks on too A f«ada: kmimmoo oa rondo find tW mmAo aw aaaal la bad eoaditioo with tifr i:" And ikon of too good horbltard charges made by. this official, there appears this same ln- deflnitness. Wk* Dr. W. B. Ack erman, as county physician, Justifi ed in drawing $8&1,66 of the peo ple’s money for ten months service, while the entire service rendered by Dr. Kershaw the year previous was only IV35.32? What waa the cause of this grer-t charge? Waa there at* epidemic of some kind in the chain gang? Or waa Dr. Ker shaw the year previous so much loserf What itema compose these charges? It Is up to Dr. Ackermirti to publish these items and remove the cloud which the Grand Jury has caused to enahreud him If there are improper charges here, why did not thw Grand Jury say what they were "without fear or fe.vor *'? The paragraph about the Poor Farm ia all right. In this the Grand Jury is direct and explicit, and we heartily concur in the re quest that the Solicitor "ascertain why paupera should be pen from the Supervisor's office.” Why th^ reference to the article published, in the Southern Good Roads magaxine, "and copitd in The Press ind Standard?" The purchasing Supervisor at the time was given a large space in The Frees and Strcdard to explain this matter, which explanation we have never heard questioned. Then why take the time of the Gri-nd Jury with It? Was this done by request, or did it come up in the regular scan h for Information, and was deymed worthy of mention? "Upon InvestIgatlo-n and belief, It is our opinion thr-t the convicts are at times cruellji rfeated.” Who is it guilty of this “cruel treatment?" .should not he or i.ey have been reported and an investigation made by the proper autfioritlts?

But these things may be sent as a trial to our faith. Strong oaks gro where the tempest rages—the wind of adversity make mr-nhood. So may these trials prove, and we should te thankful that we have the courage to free anew the bat tle of life, and combat the evils which beset our pathway. In Colleton county, our people ,have much to be thankful for. No great calamity has come upon us. The god of the harvest has smiled- graciously upon our farms; our barns and bins are bursting from the greatnets of our yields. No epidemic has visited our homes e-nd we have much to be gracious for. Let us, therefore, with reverent hearts return thanks for the bless ings which have been ours. urday before to the 3rd Sunday in way, by the Solicitor and the gull-J with month at 11 o’clock, aiM to 3 o'clock In the afternoon of the ty party or parties made to suffer the consequences of what Judge Scaso terms "cowexdly acts" f Let the Highwsy Commission at least investigate this matter and If It be found that any of the guards r^e guilty of treating these wards oT the county cruelly, they should discharge them on the spot, atvl turn them over to the proper au thorities for punishment. We do not know that we can subscribe to the recommendation of the Grand Jury that the cheJn gang be abolished. Better let the man agement of the gang be changed and put on a bualneaa and economi cal basis. We have suspected for sometime that there has been gross extravagance in the management of this part of the county’a business. There hr* appeared to be no system for the purchase of supplies for the chain gang, and ^>o record kept of what was purchased nor how it was used. Would it i*ot be a good idea for the Highway Com mission to require that the captain of the chain gang make requisition on proper blanks for whatever sup plies needed for the camp, and then Seturday before.
