Office be Moved to » Larger Kooin and That a Number of Im provement. be Made Around the .Fall. In our last issue we published the court proceedings for Monday. On Tuesday naorning the first case on the docket was that of the State against Shelton Sims for assault and battery, and the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty—very pleasant words to a prisoner’s ear. Next in rotation came the following cases, which have been passed upon since Tuesday morning: The State vs. J. L. Perry for dis posing of property under lien. A true bill was found and the case was continued until next term of court. The State vs. Watson Freeman for violation of the dispensary law. A true bill was found against him and the verdict of the jury was guilty. The State vs. Johnson Burgess for violating the dispensary law. No bill. The State vs. Wm. Robinson and Thomas Quinn, for using abusive language to an officer. A true bill was found against them. The State vs. Dr. Mason Smith for manslaughter. This was the second trial of this case and resulted in a verdict of not guilty for the defend ant. Dr. Smith has a host of friends who will rejoice at his acquittal. He has practiced in this community for about forty years and has done a great deal for suffering humanity. The State vs. Pink McKinney for assault and battery with intent to kill. The case was nol pressed upon payment of costs and fees. The State vs. E. B. Wilbur for as sault and battery. Resulted in a mistrial. The State vs. Pink Blanton for as sault and battery with intent to kill. Pink was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $20 or be imprisoned thirty days. The State vs. Levi Garrett. Ap peal.

This has been one of the most interesting cases on the docket. The case will go to the jury today. The State vs. Jim Jeter for murder. To he tried today. The following is the presentment of the grand jury: Static of South Carolina } County of Cherokee ) To His Honor, Judge J. C. Klugh, Presiding Judge: We, the Grand Jury, beg leave to make this our final presentment: We have passed upon all the bills handed us by the Court, and visited the various county offices and found them all well kept. We recommend that the probate Judge’s office be moved from where it now is on the second floor, to the old grand jury room opposite the clerk’s office, and that he bo allowed the small room to be connected with it by a door. We urge that this change be made at once, as the room which the Probate Judge now occu pies is insufficient in si?8 to accom modate the books and furniture of the office, and too, his office near the court room door is badly needed for a jury room. We recommend that the well on the jail lot he fixed so as to supply more water,the bathing tubs in the ja.l to he repainted, a closet be made in the dining^rooTi, that a tight plank fence be made back of jail eight or ten feet high, and that the front of jail be enclosed so us to have a pla^ to raise vegetables. erecdmmefnr'ThRt^ffe Sheriff be furnished a book-case for his office. We visited the poor house by com mittee, and found therein seven in mates properly cared for. Wo would recommend that the stable that has been started sometime at poor house be finished at once. There have been several minor cases reported to us and wo recom mend that they be referred to the different magistrates for action ; also H. T. Mosely and Lou Griffin have been reported to us for living in adultery, with the following wit nesses: B. H. Horton, Jeff McCraw, Bob Bridges, Susan Bridges, Weldcn Henderson, John Bradley, Jesse Blackwood and Mary Griffin. Also John Byars and Sarah Sheirs for adultery; witnesses, Joe Sheirs, Hattie McGinnes, Pink Hammet, John Ellis, K. Blanton and E quire Alexander. Also John R. Davis and Joana Ray for adultery; witnesses. Jesse Cham pion, R. G. Ray, Mary E. Kuppe, J. R. Godfrey, J. H. Godfrey, Debby L. Ledford and Ed Uay. We recommend that these cases be dealt with according to law. Respectfully submitted, 11. E. Jefferies, Foreman. ATHLETIC ENTERTAINMENT. Opening of The Opera lloune Next Wed nesday Evening.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be bom afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon It. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell- Home of Swamp-Root.
