The presentment o( Jlie (J! rand ^ Jury which we publish else r where, is an interesting docu l. meat., and wfll well repay road E1 ing The gentlemen compos ng that body evidently intended \ to do their full duty iu pointing out evils that might bo corrected and culling attention to other 'r matters. With all respect to them however, wo tliu:u they Mi l not probe deep enough, nor did th'ey incon>orate iu the pre sentment suggestions of reme dies for our present ills. These, from a body of lb intelligent men, we naturally looked for. k For instance, in their present ment of bad rouds, they made no suggestion lookiug to their bet terrneufc. The same with the chain gang. They presented the probable fact of uunecessary expense in its conduct, but failed to specify, or give a remedy. They reported on information, two school trustees in No. 15, for an act of which, if they are guilty should land them on the gang, but seemingly failed to take any steps looking to es tablish either the guilt of the o irties or their innocence. This is what we may call a sin of omission of the first, class, for guilty or innocent, these men are lying under the bau of sus picion. They recommended the is suence of a warrant for one fel ow for an infraction of law, but to all appearances failed to in vestigate the reasons that made such action necessary, or, if such investigation was made, they tailed to give it to the public. We do not note in this pre sentment the appointment of any committees for investiga tion of our county offices, the poor hou?e, &c., a very im portant matter. In these times, when taxes are crawling up on .us liko a thief in the night, the A*rand Jury should stand like a stone wall against extrava gance and looseness in the con duct of affairs of the county, and be fertile in expedients to reme dy existing evils, and to guard against others likely to appear. The Criminal Court. A large number of criminal cases were disposed of at the spss ion of our criminal court which closed yesterday. Lick of space prevents us going into detail, but the following is a nummary of the work (tone in the way fo convictions and ac quittals: Caleb Hampton, guilty of burglary, penitentiary, f> years.

We, the Grand Jury, have passed upon all bills of indict ment that have been handed us, to the best of our ability. We have visited the jail and Jfind the sanitary condition bad, and recommend that it bo at A ?ndod to at once. We have also visited the Coun t/ chain gang and find that thero is too much unnecessary ex pen so cjnnocted with same. .

The new foot- way at tbe Teaun bridge is unsatisfactory. It lias been reported to us that Mr. 11- T. Johnson and Mr. W. E. West, sc1hk)1 trustees, ap proved a claim of Thirty-nine dollars to pay for repairs on the 'Providence school building in District No. 15 when the actual worth did not a mount to more than three or four dollars, and i|?at thirty-five dollars of said thirty-nine dollars were paid to a teacher who did not have a ? certificate. We tind that ex-Magistrate J. D. McDowall has failed to turn over to the proper authorities some of his books. This matter was reported by the Grand Jury at the last term of court and nothing has becu done about the matter.

Alton t nil the cotton farmers have to do ill order to control the cotton market is to control themselves. We don't need more money , more men or better business men in the cot ton ast it ( es in order to manage the cot ton business. About all you need is to get together and use what you already have in hand, like business men should do, and the power you have will as tonish the cotton farmers as well as the balance of the world. Why is it that we find so many ?Southern men engaged in the cotton trade on Wall Street, New York? I* it not because these Southern men from the Held know more about the conditions of thing* in the South and more about how to control the cotton farmers than foreigners do? Well, then, why not come together at home and use our own business men and talents, and our peculiar natural advantage* for our own benellt instead of allowing foreigners to reap the profits from our fortunate natural Kills in the way of the ideal cotton belt rf t he world? Twenty men may stand about the beg talking about the bad plight of the row in the mire to no good? but three men ii ay iiniteaud pull together and out comes the cow on firm ground. Farmers, walk right in tin; Union and take hold, slop talking and pull to getner. ? %* 1 nrmers, do not wait longer for something to turn up in your favor: K<> out and turn something up for ) oiirself. Do not stand about talking and grumbling, and waiting for a good opening to cuniu your way. but go right into the farmers organization, unite your strength with that of your fellow farmers and make your own opening. If others can organize a cotton busi es by picking up yoUr own men at J our own door aud working them to the advantage of the speculating crowd th.Te is no rvasonon earth why cotton grower? cannot do the same thing lor their interest and even better Jf they will only combine their power n similar business organizations hVf the gang does that take our protlts away Iroin the farmer. ?Two, or even five thousand dollars spent in piping and fill ing up ditches may save the citv ten thousand dollars in the wav of a suit for damages, and will I to the looks of tlm| Supervisor's Report.

Mr. Cannon Is going to pigeon hole this bill tnd re nre glad of It. This is one of the very few things Uncle Joe has doue which call for commendation from Southern people. V Cotton Seed. The Camden oil mill has been rnii ning day and night since the first part of September, and still has enough seed on hand to run until the latter part of April. The farmers in and around Camden, S. C., are preparing for a big cotton crop. They arc not only taking in more land, mid cleaning up the edges of their fields, but are fertilizing tlieir whole crop much more heavily than heretofore. %? Lancaster News. One of the anomalies of the law was Uustrated at the present term of court. An old man was sentenced to pay a flue of $500 for selling liquor and a young mail fined *2r>0 for shooting an other. Is the inference to be drawn that in the eyes of the law it is a greater offense fo tank up a fellow on illicit liquor thau it is to pump lead into hi in? %? A NEW BATTLE CllY. Keowee Courier. Senator Tillman says he is going to make the dispensary a hot issue in the coming campaign. He is getting his fighting clothes on. We presume lie will change lus war cry from "war to the knife, and knife to the hilt," to "war to the cork-screw, and cork screw to the stopper." ??? NEGLECTING nosiE INVESTMENT. Edgefield Advertiser. The deposits in Edgefield's two banks amount to about $300,000. And yet not a dollar ot local capital is in vested iu any industrial enterprise. This reflects greatly upon the busi ness men of the community,. V TIL I. VI AN IN ClIAHACTEUISTlC SOLE. Hamburg Herald. The senior senator's manifesto failed to manifest anything great, new or significant. There is nothing great in it for it lacks anything helpful or beneficial to his State or people; there is nothing new for it shows Tillman in a characteristic attitude; and it is sig nificant only that It signifies that the passion of the people will be appealed to rather than calm opinion and rea son; the prejudice rath?r than the pride will be fanned, and the attempt to arrange and array friend against friend, brother against brother is be nig and will be made by the senator who knows no higher law than that of the political dabbler who assassinates conscience to appease appetite. Will our people consent? We hope, we believe, we feel ?ure they will not! "a I.IKE KOll A LIKE." Union Progress. A few days ago the Supreme Court upheld the decision of a lower court that a young white man shall Ik- hung and another shall go to t lie peniten tiary for life for the brutal murder of a negro near Darlington. That is a sample of true justice a-i rare a 4 it. is needed. More such carrying out of the letter and spirit of the law, be the person concerned white or black, rich or poor, would have a salutary ellVct in averting so much bloodshed and taking of human life. The old idea or "a life for a life" if practiced oTiener now by the court after guilt has been proven by a full and impartial trial, is the surest, speediest, and indeed it would seem, the only way to check the homicidal spirit so prevalent these days. Vet ?rail's Reunion. ^ The old vet's of Cos. A and F, *tli, S. C. Battalion will hold their spring reunion on Friday April 27th at Bethune. Every body is invited to conn? and bring well tilled baskets. Speeches, good music, a nice dinner, base ball, &c., the fea tures of the occasion. Tako a day off, and have a good lime once. Tnose Bethune people are all heart and if you do not have a good time it will be your own fault. To Postmasters. The annoying fact remains that in every newspaper office where a large number of news paper packages are muiied week ly to various post offices, now and again a package will be mis directed and sent to a wrong ad dress. This occurred to us last week, and occurred once before. The package of The People which should have been addressed to "Camden It. K. No. 2," must havs gone to somo other office, as it certainly did not reach out people on that route. As we re marked, the same thing happen ed once before on another route, and we want to request the post masters to whose offices these misdirected packages go, to kind ly glance over the addresses on the different papers, and they will find one of thorn with the full address, generally the top paper. This makes it easy to rr*-wrnr> and forward to the pro per address. Attention to this! matter will be a real favor to us, | atyd very little trouble to ^ou. ICE! ICE! GEORGE W. CROSBY.
