The jury found them guilty on one opunt? and their counsel,- Mesara.

This closed tho business of the first week, and court adjourned Thursday * evening.-,. Court recoil VOUCH! Monday, 23d, at 10 a. pw) and the case of Henry Pat riok lor the murder of hie wile was called. His attorneys Messrs McGoll and 'LeG rand tried hard to have the case postponed on aocount of the. fe - - venal) condition of the populace, but the plea was overruled, and tho case went"to trial with the followiug jury : Geo. R. "Welch, foreman, Wm. D. ltogora, J. F. McKinnon, H.L. David J. H. Harper, J. M. Hamer, P. H. Easterling, G. A. Brown, J. B. Coxe, J. F. Townsend, Thomas .Mumford, L. B. Hubbard. The testimony was not completed until Wcdnsday norning, when tie arguments began, lasting until near six o'clock-Solicitor Johuson closing for the Slate. His Honor iu a brief but clear and impartial chatge, in which he complimented the able man ner in which Patrick's lawyers had handled tho defence, gave the case to the jury at ? 10. After a stay out of over au hour I, h ?y rei urned v. ith a verdict of guilty of murder with a recommendation to mercy. The sen tence is a life time imprisonment. The Court took Thanksgiving, and convened again thia (Frhluy) morning -at 10 o'clock and took up tho case ol Mr. J. \V. Coward for murder. REPORT OF G HAND JURY To the Hon. Ernest Gary, Presiding Judge : The Grand jury, upon the conclusion ol their labors tor the entire term and lor the present term of the Court, respect luily return : First. That they have passed upon and returned to the Court all lulls subi milted to them by Hie Solicitor with as much speed as the imp?t tance and gra vity of their duties permitted, {Second. That at a previous term o! the Court they "appointed two specia committees, each consisting ol 3 mern "Bers of their body, the one to investigate the condition ot the Poor Farm and it: inmates, the other to investigate the pub lie buildings and offices. The formel committee consisting ol Messrs P. J Huestess. J. C H?m?f and J; yer. triade a verbal report IM eflec thal they had attended to the .-im' is ps signed them, and WOK: glad io repori . that thc. l'cor M >itr1and Farm welt Mil f.t.\-?irivu:.-. ir.j<;.> .Thc condition ot the buildings il loi Poor Farm ?ind iii? ? lim itsc?l -, -. . .'OO HS could lie expected, arid ibo inmate made no cbniplahtr, and, so ?ar as tin comjhit.tei cpi?ld ->y t'uv. received over attention the means at command per milted. The second committee -submitted : report as loltows: "T?.the Foreman and Grand Jury o Marlboro county: The undersigns committee selected by you to investigate the condition ot the Public Buildings and public offices ol Marlboro counij reespecilully report : -That hom lime to lime since Iheir ap pointaient th.:y l?ave met during the present year and made as thorough an investigation ot the condition ol tile pub. lie buildings and the public offices a? their ability allowed, and submit as re sult ol those investigations ; r. That the Court House is in bad condition and has been much ahused tor so comparatively a new building, with out lault, however, of any ol the officers. The walls of the Hall-way and the Court room are much disfigured and soiled Irom being marked and spit upon, and especially is this the case in the Hallway We find, also, that many of the window sills, the blinds and other woodwork ol the building are rotten, and in need ol immediate repair, otherwise the whole building will be in danger. There is great lack of furniture iii most ol the ol tices, especially in that ol the Clerk and Superintendent ol Education, and this want should at once be supplied. Espe dally would we recommend that chairs for the offices ol the Clerk and Supt ol Education be furnished as these are ne cessary lor the public who have business with these officers. Suitable shelves and pigeon holes should also be placed in the office ot the County Supervisor upon and in which to keep the books and the records ot his ollicc. The office of the Clerk ol Court is en tirely inadquatc tor the records and bu st ness of that important official. The shelves he ?.ow bas are filled to their ut most capacity, and so great is the weigh! upo-i the wooden pat huons and divisions in thc lire proof department, that lite woodwork has been crushed, and il is almost impossible to open and close the doors of the same. To remedy this j our committee recommends that all work needing repair bc at once repaired ; thc walls ot ihewholc building calsomined ; locks, or other proper fastenings, be Klaced on the outside doors, so that the lidding can be closed entirely at night; that spittoons bc placed along the Hall way and in the offices, and that each of ficer constitute himself a watchman and detective to prosecute any and all per? sons who, in any way or manlier; dis figure thc walls or floor, or other parts ot the building. They also recommend that the office now occupied by the Aud itor bc turned over to the Clerk as part ol his office, and an opening be made hom the present Clerk's office into the same ; and that the Auditor use and oc cupy jointly with Magistrate Kasterling the office now in the use ol the latter. They also recommend ihe purchase and installation into the Clerk's office ol the new system ol office furniture, consisting of steel cases and steel ?oller shelves ; that alter thc same is prepared for the purpose, the Clerk do transler to ihe new aparlment all the old Judgment Holls.f-ol both the Common pleas and Sum. pro. jurisdiction, ' and such other ol the old records as are of least importance, and that the present fire proof department be devoted exclusively to the records and books connected with Mesne Convcyan cing and Judgment Rolls since thc adop tion ol thc Code ol Civil Proceed ure. : (Concluded on page 3 ) CLERK'S SAILS STATE' OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Couuty of Marlbo.ro-Court Com 4110U Pleas.

WHEN ASHCRAFT'S Condi tion Powders are fed to horses and mules, marked improvement will be seen after the first few doses. There is no doubt about it. ! The Powders, acting directly on the digestive organs, first thoroughly j cleanses the stomach and bowels, correcting all disorders, and then good healthy appetite comes nat urally and surely. It is the most powerful tonic and appetizer on the market to-day, and when once used horsemen will have no other. Ashcraft's Powders produce that silky sheen of coat and hair so admired by horse fanciers. The Powders fatten but never bloat. Always high grade and put up lin doses-never in bulk. By the use of three or four doses a week your horse or mule will not be subject to colic or any dis ease of the stomach and bowels. 'I lind rm old horso that waa In \cry bad condition generally.' Ho wes thin and had a blood disease 'that was causing thc hair to como off. I gave thc horse throe doses of Ash craft's Condition Powders a day for seven days and fed him liberally. Tho appetite improved from tho first few doses and tho animal galnort fifty-two pounds in flesh during tho week I Rave it three doses a day. Tho general health of Hie animal was greatly improved ty tho uso of tho powders and ho was mado almost a now horse. I most heartily recommend Ashcraft's Condition Powders, as I know they are a splen did tonio and appetizer.-C. C. SIKES, Livery man, Monroe, N. C." Ask for Ashcraft's Condition Powders. Package 25c.
