Bryan, after which their general charge was delivered by Judge Aldrich. He began his charge to them with highly complimentary remarks concerning the new public buildings provided for the county since his last visit here. IIo then informed them as to their general duties, and the Solicitor proceeded to swear witnesses on various bills of indictment for their consideration. The two murder cases were handed out first and they were asked to consider these first so as to arraign the defendants as early in the week as possible. In a few minutes thov returned true bills against each of them. Both of them were arraigned and the time for the trials fixed for Thursday as to Joe Gaddy. A motion was made to continue the case of Bartley Hammond, but the motion was refused, and the case set for trial on Wednesday morning at 0:30 TUESDAY Court convened at 9:30 and more bills were ready to hand to the grand jury.

I Miss l)oak in Concert. Miss Saba Doak, the talented young daughter of Rev A S Doak gave one of the delightful concerts in the Burroughs School Auditorurn last Monday evening before a large audience.

Her selections were beautifully given and her voice is of wonderfully high range k and power and sweetness, m- ' ** , ' Married At Dillon, S. C., on April 18th 1901).

May their lives be long and 7 happy, A Friend, P JTh?_ SHII Improving. | We are very glad indeed to learn that old man Daniel T Gerrald is improving. He has long been the victim of paralysis, tut he has been mending now for sometime. He is an aged veteran of the Civil War, and is about GO years of ago. He was stricken down with paralysis on the 22nd of November, his entire left side, from head to foot, being effected and he has not been able to walk or stand since unless aided by some one. For sometime he has had an excellent appetite and has the appearance of being in perfect health. Duriug the sixties he was in the prime of life and took part in many hard fought battles. It has been said that ho was an excellent fighter and displayed a fiue soldier like appearance, especially on horseback, lie was blessed in those days to escape all dangers and to come out of that terrible conflict victorious over death and his body unscarred by any wounds as he has time and again since those bloody days, and espo ciauy uuring nis recent illness unci we are proud indeed. When first confined to his room his physicians seemed to be perplexed, aud did all they could to relievo his sufferings but Svemingly without avail. God's blessings again enveloped him and the star of hope appeared at night bringing relief to his storm torn body and cheer to his soul. Grandfather is a good man and we believe that God will remember him and will soon restoro him to his his health and be able to stir around again. But when it is God's good pleasure to take him away from us we trust that his last words will be as those of Gen Stonewall Jackson ?4 Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.

The revolting circumstances surrounding the killing of Constable Long by the negro Sam Wilson a week or two ago, have only recently been learned at Conway. Searching parties have scoured the county for him, but all trace of him seems to have been lost. There are some who evidently would be glad to see him punished in a very summary manner Ex SheritT Butler of Columbus County related the circumstances of the killing at Loris a few days ago. He stated that Long had arrested the negro for some ipinor offense, and was guarding him in a house over night intending to take him to prison the following morning, The negro had a pistol concealed about his person in such a manner that the officer could not find Jit when he searched him. Both of his hands were bound while Long was guarding him. Some time in the night the negro requested Mr Long to walk out with him into the yard, Within a few minutes after they had walked out of the house Long's wife heard a pistol report and on going out found her husband shot dead and the negro gone, The authorities are still looking for him and no effort should be spared to try to capture him. Toddvllle Tldlitjr*. U. A. Dusenbury spent last week in Conway with Mrs H, II. Woodward. Misses Kate Oliver and Nannie Elaigler, of Greenwood, after spending last week here with Mrs A.M. Dusenbury, returned home Saturday. Hal L. Buck, the popular cashier of the Bank of Cod way, paid this writer a hearty call Saturday a. in. Mr Buck is very enthusiastic on the subject of good roads and thinks that Spivey's bill is the best solution in sight. Every sweet has its bitter. There is no croquet and other interesting games being played at Toddville in the afternoon. Now, such is life; the fair ones will leave us. It seems that. Preairlonf Toff Uoc ? ? . v^.v.w??u auiv uao held out the olive branch and a great many prominent Southern Democrats have taken hold. This is all right, but some Democratic Congressmen, presumably to get a few loaves and fishes for their constituents are advocating Republican policies and even announced their intention of voting for the tariff bill.

"An advertisement, occupying about three-fourths of a column space announcing that specialists representing the Cleveland Institute of Moniciue and Surgery, loyally chartered and incorporated at Cleveland O., would visit Yorkville and be at the Shanden hotel to-day, and for one day only, appeared in the Yorkville inquirer of March 23 and 2(5.

Dr Smith sug jested Dr R A Bratton, and was advised that Dr Bratton's identification would bo satisfaction, Dr Bratton was sent for and on arrival identified Dr Smith as the genuine article, but advised him that he had hp.ftn irnilt.v of unethical conduct in that his coming had boen announced iu a newspaper advertisement, contrary to the usage of the profession, and that if he undortook to carry out the plans set forth in the advertisement hjs license tq practice in the State would undoubtedly be revoked by the State medical board. Dr Smith surrendered without firing a gun, aud in view of the fact that the physician who accompanied here was not licensed by this but New York State, he would do nothing except in connection with Dr Brqith.

Editor Tho Heau^W-'?-We have road the article in the last issue of your paper over tho no w <Je olurae of "Strong Advocate" re) uli?g to tho proposed new bridges across the Waccamaw, and wo fully concur in what he says. As we understand the situation, tho bridges were a part of the consideration in Mr Spivey's measure, and the tax-payers have to pay the interest on the bonds: Then why not take the over plus, if any, as provided in his court house and Jail bill, and build the bridges at once? It is an old saying that "Everybody's busiuessis nobody's business," but as "Strong Advocate" has the courage of his convictions to call attention to this matter, let us all pull tsgether for the consummation of this well concaved project, we would urge the Comf?j>juoners to formulate plans, ar.d uecessary steps to go forward with the work immediately. We make no comments what oyer on tho benelits to be derived from a bridge across the Waccamaw at a suitable point near Conway, for the intelligent readers of your paper knows a well as wo that a bridge would be much better than the socalled "free ferry" which at best is a nuisance. The ball is now in motion, and we hone it will koon * r roljinp until everything is ready for Lbe public to rolj across* the new bridge. Bridge Supporter. Sunday School Workers.

Ilis table has already been supplied with spring greens and other early garden delectables from it. In a day or so he will have new Irish potatoes. Some trouble was raised in Poplar school district and in Booth school district, which adjoined it, a3 to the line between the two districts. The matter was brought up by the filing of a petition by the trustees of poplar district asking for an election for a special tax for the benefit of the schools. It appears that the lines of Poular school district, wuro recorded in the Superintendent's oHice, but some of the people in that district say that it will bo easy to make proof of the lines, We have heard nothing lately as to the extra passeng ; train which Conway has requesu d to be put on I the Conway branch.

The gr? at increase in the amount of freight as well as lhe increase of passenger traflic is enough to convince any reasonable mind that the Iiailroad Commissioners would be justified in granting the request.
