We, thu Grand Jury impannelcd to serve during the currant year, having acted upon ail thc bills of indictment submitted to us by thc solicitor, and hav ing discharged all other duties brought to our attention, now beg leave lo return the lollowing report and presentments : We wish lo bring lo the attentio-i ol the County Supervisor that the public road leading from Five Forks to Blenheim, the bridge above McRae's pond, known as new bridge, and also Beauty Spot bridge over Crooked Ccek, are in very bad condition and in need ot repair. Wc wish lo call lo thc attention of the Court asa public nuisance and source of danger to thc traveling public, par ticularly women and children, a certain tannery situated on Crooked Creek, very near the first bridge on the public road between Benncttsville apd Cheraw. This tannery is productive ol noisome and disagreeable odors and smells which are extremely unpleasant to -passengers on that road, and the character ol the work done at this tannery is such as is calculated to Irighlen horses and mules passing on the said road. We suggest that the Court take such steps as it may deem proper to induce the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co., to place planks or boards along side ol thc iron rails nt certain places between Benncltsville and Tatum where its track crosses l!io public roads ol the county. At some oj' these crossings ?he public road runs at, and crosses the track, at an acute angle, and the iron rails ol the track heing considerably elevated at these point:; it is difficult for heavily loaded vehicles to cross the track without great strain on them, and this trouble would he obviated by placing plank be tween the crosstics and Iron rahs at the points named. We desire to bring to the attention ot the County Supervisor the condition of the public road leading from Bennetts ville to Hebron church at the ponit op positc thc home ol Mr. James McKinnon and to suggest to him that it is necessary tb have thc pond in thc old part ot. road comp'.ett.iy ii rai ijd .it once, :\s in its present coiluitioii i! constitu? rs it pub li.-; n?i?aiice and nenne?, to the health o Hie peop"*.' in tl cr vicinity. ?t ts consid ered 10 productive Ot icu, mabu i and ott er bodily ailments. We present .Nir. E. W. Smith for ob structing thc public roail leading from IMr. J. T. Covington's residence to Five Forks by ditching on the side ol the road and throwing dirk in it, and wc recom mend that thu court take such steps as it may consider necessary and proper to have liim remove this obstruction which constitutes a nuisance. We present Alec Gilchrist lor killing a deer on or about April i6, 1903. We present Fred Quick for disorderly conduct and disturbing religious wor ship at Antioch church sometime during the month ol February last, and aiso lor committing the same offenses, and for carrying concealed weapons at Boy ki h church on thc third Sunday in list March Wc present Jim Jones, single, and Sarah .laue Bass, single, for living in adultery or fornication during thc year 1902 and until thc present time. We present William Swctt single and Ellen ?Mc Duffie single for living in aduU tcry. The grand jury takes pleasure in sta ting that as a body it visited the County Jail and card ii Hy inspected it. They lound the jail in excellent condition and giving evidence of proper management in every respect. The grand jury has appointed Irom its number committees lo investigate the various oilier county institutions and olllccs, and these committees will make their report lo thc grand jury at a later term ol the Court. The grand jury extends its thanks to His Honor Judge 1). A. Townsend, lor his aid in the discharge ol their duties, and also to the Solicitor and the other ollicers of the court, all ol whom have shown courtesy anti consideration to this bxly. Respectfully submitted, J. H. David, Foreman April 2S, i<103. Educational Rally Day. There will he an educational rally ni l??nnettsvillc on Saturday May tim titi?.

The fifteenth annual conferouce of the Methodist Sunday school workers was bela at Pine G rovo on Friday and Saturday Way l-2> Pine Grove is historic ground-Coi many long years "tho camp ground of Wesleyan M?thodiste, from which went out influences that permeated every borne in the county. To-day the same spirit of generous hospitality and brotherly kindness pervades the homes and hearts of her people. On the west side of tho roud in tho beau-, tiful gt ovo stands a large, plain, but comfortable house of worship. It is ono of tho four churches ou the Ben nettsville circuit and ie served by Rev. J. W. Ariail. Pine Grove bas a live evergreen Sunday school withs prompt punctual, earnest christian worker to look after its success-Uro. Archie M. Fletcher. On the cast aide of tho road stands a largo school building, nicely eepjipped with tho latest helps for the more succcessful training of the young and preparing them for entering life's areua. Prof. F. B. Buy kio j a thor oughly equipped classical scholar and christian gentleman, hn? charge of the day school and ia also an earnest work- j erin tho Suuday school. Thus the head and hearts of the youth of Pine Grovo is being carefully looked after. Do you wonder then why so many good people live in that section ? Uro. tVm..L. Stanton, our worthy county superintendent ol education, presided over this conference aad cer tainly made us a good one. S. A. Brown, who has been secretary for 23 years was preseut nnd filled bis place. Bro. 35. B. Boykin, for Piue Grove, welcomed the conference, which was heartily responded to by Bro. II. C. Newton of Bcnnettsville. Friday was taken up with reports from schools as to the condition, needs and geueral management of each, and the discussion of such questions as was pertinent to and helpful to more suc cessful Suuday school work, such as The home department of the Sunday school, Thc pastoral work of teachers, The relationship of pastors and church olliciuls to the Suuday school, Decision day. The speakers on these questions of vital interest to successful Suuday school work were Reva E. P. Taylor, the beloved presiding elder of Marion District. F. H. Shuler, W. B. Baker, \V. Quick, J. W. Ariail, D. H Ever ett, Allen McFarlan, and Bros H. K. Covington, C. T. Easlcrliug, R.Cosby Newton, J. F. Bolton, E. B. Boykin and A. D. Umson. Every moment was profitably employed, and such was the interest that each session ran over program time from 25 to 35 minut?e. There was uo room for question box. On Saturday tho interest seemed to increase, and although the committee had cut down the usual work for the last day, tho sessions were lengthened in the discussions on Missionary work and Methods old and new. Speakers seemed lu lie inspired and ready respon ses flowed thick and fast Among the workers present Saturday were Mrs. J (J. Campbell, Miss Helen Barber, Rev. C E. Peelc and Prof. E. A. Montgom ery, of Tatum. Buiuiy Spot, Iii dali am! Hebrdii asked for thc ?u : v i '-aler m< i\nO f A' pleasant Aialiin of Saturday's' m ?gl:TH wa? : u admirable pi.?:r by by Miss Helen Barber mi the necessity of belter equipped teachers, which so impressed thc conference that a reso lution was passed asking her to allow i'.s publication, but she bas not yet consented. The music was of a high order and soul-inspiring. Miss Annie McColmun presided nt thc organ and was sup ported by a strong choir. Thc officers fir tho next conference ure : l'resideut-C. T. East erl in g, Vice President-W. J. Adams, Secretary-S. A. Brown, Ex Committee-D. H. Everett. P. A. Hodges. Another touching incident in the exercises Saturday and not down on the regular program was a clever sur prise perpetrated on the Secretary hy members Of the conference-the pre sentation of a handsome Tc'.chers Bi hie, which was fittingly done by Bro H. Iv. Covington in one of his chaine tic speeches The Secretary was so completely overcome Ibat be could only say "I thank you." lt was, some declared, one of the most interesting and profitable meet ings ever held iu the county. One thing that was truo the presence of the Elder during each session was a ben ediction not expected, and greatly ap preciatvd, together with the support giveu by the other ministers named.
