THE
GRAND JURY’S
MENT.
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. There
‘aro doaona of cases of violations of
law la spirit aad la loiter which' It
•vorlooka, olther bocause K he* not
bad tlmo or taken tho trouble to in
vestigate thorn. 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? Will
e *
not t.u investigation be made uny-
may have come, fortune been swept
away, position lost, or disgrace
brought by the act of some mem
ber of the famil)*—these c-re in
deed sorrowful tbinga and quali
fied to stifle thankpglving spirit.
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.
