PRESENTMENT OF THP
GKAND JUHY.
Our space last week did not
permit of comment from us on
ihe excellent presentment of the
Graud Jury. There is no ques
tion us to the merits of this pre
sentment. The remarks concer
ning a stenographer, or the ab
sence of one has already re
reived our attention. The legis
lature as a whole, has been re
miss in its duty. It is safe to say
t!?at this defect in the conduct
of pur courts will be remedied
nt the next sessiou.
The remarks in the present
ment concerning the poor house
follow directly in ]j?e
recommendations made by a for
mer graud jury about the year
loJ- as nearly as we can recol
lect. If the recommendations
then presented were good, they
nre good today, and should be
acted upon. In any event, they
make very i-jteiesting reading,
und deserve the thoughtful cou
sideration of all.
VVe entirely agree with the
Grand Jury in its remarks rela
tive to the condition of the court
house yard. That condition is a
disgrace to the county. At com
paratively small expeuse these
grounds can be put in good
s uipe, and it should be done.
Passing over minor recom
mendations, we find from the
presentment that the county ex
pended during the last fiscal
year about *113,000, leaving a
balance of $25,090 on hand ex
clusive of *4,000 in executions.
In umounts expended we find
an item of *0,000 borrowed from
sthe sinking fund commission.
s lool? to us like queer busi
?ess, although there is no doubt
>h good reason for the borrow.
What it is however, we would
e much to know. If Wo have
had a sinking fuud of our own
for years as we have been in
formed that we had, why should
we have borrowed from others
.instead of using our own money.
Wo nolo nstances in Building
nncl Loan business where the
funds of one series are often
borrowed from another series
replaced later, and then re'
harm^'* Portui1lio?s|y, what
harm (if harm there was) has
been done, is now remedied, and
the interest we are now pay mo
on this borrowed money is off
set by the interest we receive on
our own sinking fuud.
The remarks of iho Grand
?Jury concerning our County dis
? K'lisary are very complimentary
We don't take much stock how
vrr in the recommendation that
the Slate provide a sufficient
lu'i'l to enable the couuties to
discount their bills. As to our
self, wo do not want the State to
""ve any hand in the conduct of
our dispensaries. To take the
business entirely out of the hand
>f the State has been our task
ever since the inception of the
Dispensary idea iu South Caro
liiro. We want no paternalism
As long as the salo of l,qUor is
legalized, we want its sale and
nanufacture controlled and man
aged as nearly home as is pos
sible. We want our own people
to manage It. Wo want our own
people to reap such financial
benefits as may accruo from it,
and we want our people tore-,
buke in their own way any vio
lation of law governing its sale
and manufacture.
The recommendations in the
presentment as to roads and
bridges will do doubt bo care
fully considered by tlto road
overseers, and the members of
S.I10 County board in ti,e several !
townships.
FRITAtB LVMBBBr
ISO OPKKATIOHK
We are In receipt of a leaflet
from llie Forestry department
of the Government, showing the
need of forestry In private lum
bering operations. Tlie article
is too long for publication in full,
so we will endeavor to giv s you
a few salient extracts.
"That forest preservation has
come to be regarded as a mutter
of deep concern to every citizen
i9 manifest. Private forestry
has grown until net only are
professional foresters employed
regularly by a number of large
tirms, but tirm&of consulting und
contracting foresters supervise
cutting operations and guaran
tee to the owners reuewel of the
trees desired in the forest.
Large users of forest products
tend more to apply so&nd
methods to the raising of wood
crops and to their careful utiliza
tion. "
This is well said, and an ab
solute truth.
"Iu obedience to the law of sup
ply and demand, lumber prices
have gradually advanced in the
last twenty years, in some cases
as much as 108 pev cent. These
changes show conclusively that it
is high time for the introduction
of conservative forest methods
in the management of woodlauds
everywhere. There are now a
million acres of private wood
land ou which forestry is being
applied under plans prepared
during the past four years by the
Forest Service; but this is only a
beginning. The scope of tins
management must be increased
many fold."
The law of supply and de
mand will always obiain, and no
surprise should be felt that lum
ber is at present high in price,
and may go higher..
"Any future estimate of tim
ber should leave out of consid
eration the preseut merchantable
value of timber, aud should aim
to show the actual stand of tim
ber regardless of size, species,
or quality."
We can make no comment on
this extract. Our idea is how
ever that lumber, even under
present conditions, will not ma
terially advance in price. As
the demand increases, we think
that private owners of ti inner
will turn loose enough timber to
supply that increased demand.
"The Nation can and should
maintain forests in isolated aud
mountainous regions where their
principal value is for the pro
tection of watersheds, the sour
ces of streams, and many ludus
tries dependent upon an equible
supply of water and a sufficient
range. But on private lauds the
practice of forestry can be ex
pectcd only where it insures
profit in perpetuating a source
of timber supply. Since four
tiftlis of the forests of the coun
try, and in general, those most
productive and accessible, are
in the hands of private owners,
the future timber supply rests
chieily with them."
The above words should be
printed in letters of gold. Un
less heed is paid to them tre
mendous* disasters by flood and
wiud are sure to come.
The article1 "Progress of For
estry in 1900," illustrated, of
which above is an extract, has
been issued, together with a di
rectory of forest officers, asso
ciations, and schools, iu pamph
let form. It cau be had upon
application to the Forest Ser
vice, Washington, D. C.

NEW USE OF COTTON OIL.
This Great Southern Product
Fast Becoming Household
Remedy.
Nearly everybody these days
knows the usefulness of cotton
oil tis an edible in place of olive
oil, and as a cooking fat in place
of lards and compounds, and as
a high grade butter fat, but few
indeed It now its value as a house
hold remedy.
In a booklet recently sent out
by the Texas Seed Crushers' as
sociation the following "home
remedies" are given, and an au
thority for each and every one
of them.
"Burns, scalds, cuts and
wounds of all kinds are soothed
and benefitted, and rapid heal
ing is iuduccd by binding with
bandages soaked with cotton oil.
The most painful earache is
frequently relieved by dropping
cotton oil in the ear, and if from
cold or catarrh the nose is raw
aud sore, drop some warm cot
ton oil into the nostrils, holding
the head back to allow it to
penetrate the nasal passnge.
Delicate and alclr babies and I
Iftrfftr children are rapidly!
nourished and fattened by fre
quent rubbing with co^on oil,
and a baby ao thin at biVth as
to be alvost dtsptind of/vlll
rapidly take on flesh and health
with no other treatment than
cotton oil massnges gently ad
ministered.
For stiff joints, either from
cold, fatigue 01* strain, or incipi
ent rheumatism, or for sore
throat, a rubbing with cottou oil
offers a quick and pleusaut reme
dy aud for bud colds, coughs or
sore chest, a few doses of C9tton
oil will give relief, and iudeed
lifts eveu been recommended
and found effective in tubercu
losis troubles.
Nearly every one would be
benefitted by taking two or three
tablespoonfuls of cotton oil a
day, for it is not only a food
but medicine. It adds uutrition
without distress or repletion
and is a gentle and grateful lub
ricant to the intestines.
If you are troubled with cons
tipation the juice of one orange
aud two teablespoonfuls -of cot
ton oil taicen just before retiriug
will relieve any but a very ob
stinate case, and at the same
time furnish healthful nutri
tion. "
The Best Man.
The best mau we have in our
towu for the general good of the
town is one you will always see
on the front seat in the progres
sive ?'band wagon." He is the
first oue to extend an open and
warm hand to meet the stranger
and welcome him to the best
town in the State. He will re
sent an insult to our town as
quickly as ho would a slur at a
member of liis family. He very
politely invites the chronic cro- 1
ker to "move on." He iseverl
ready io give liis just proportion
to every public enterprise. He
talks up our town at home and
abroad aud believes it the best
place 011 God's green earth in
which to live and desires to be
buried there when he dies. Let
us try and he like this man for
one year and our little city will
take on new life and improve as
never before in its history. ? Ex.
