PreBentmer.g or the Grand Jury, Madec at the Recent Terrp of Qourt. STA T1 OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF PAIRFIELD. To the IHon. 4. ., ~Shaw, .Presid ing Judge : The grand jury for the county aforesaid -beg leave herewvith to submit their presentment for the present term-June, 1878. We have given careful considera.. tion to the several bills of indict ment submitted 'to us by the Solici.. 1for, and are indebted to both your flonor and the Solicitor for the valuable assistance rendered us, whereby we were enabled to deter, mine intelligently the various mrat .ters that camne under our notice. Pursuant to an order made by his Honor J. H. Hudson, at the March iterm of the Court of General Sea :sions for this county, we have inves *Aigated the var'ious publicofll.oes of the countf,'and in prosecnting this laborious work we have endeavored $0 ascertain all facts that in our tha attention of the Court. The result of our ef>lr'jts is emnbo.lied in this presontinent, and il;h m n.;h Lh time al'ttcd for so impl)<.- -:tnt a wo0r'< Was net"essairily lh:nite'd, wi+ are 8 tti:ilie. t.h;1t our rupo)rt isa (' c el, i- to the e.mi:litionl of tho couWnty goverinlent. in this connve'tion it is proper to say that the investiga tion referred to was concluded sov" oral weeks prior to the present term of Court. Good order and obedience to law prevail genorally tliryughout the county, the constituted a.lihorities being properly respected and cheer fully uphold in their efforts to pro tect the interests of the publitt and colservo the p.eco of our v.lrious com munities. OU11i:a for tho In )st, parb give evidence of an honest purpose to renjder faithful service in their several spheres. In the examination of the Sherif's oflice, we found the books irregular ly and improperly kept, nlanly errors occurring, the result rather of negli genco and c.trelossness thin of nis, conduct. The (olditionl of the county jail was by no means s'ttis factory. Repairs aro needed on both the satslh and the roofing. We would reconinend that the Shcriff or jalilor be required to removo the cotton--seed and rubbish from the debtors' ro)ms. Ii our judgment, the he:th of the prisoners would bo promoted by giving tore at.tention to thie scr;1bbirg and cle-insing of the floors inl the third story, as we found them filthy and unsightly. We would also recommend that the brick kitchen in the jail yard be repaired (if the finances of the county will justify it.) so that it i ty be used for its legitimito purpo .. Complaint was made to us that thr ShieriliYs oiice is not kept open. as required by law, and that naucht ineot.uin 1!a i s 0":1 t';ion I. tlire by. In or judgment every puolic otli:or should administer the a1f1tirs of his ollice so as both to satisfy the law, and also to accomilnodato' the reasonable demands of the public.

The condition of the oIice of School Comm uissi on er was dsatis. factory, and we believe that the1 educational interests of 1the county are being pronerly loo)ked1 after. We l1kewise found the hooks of the CJoun ty Comm~nissiner's sati s factory and( prioperily kept, and the affairs of their office admin istGredl intelligently and as required by law. We were unable, from lack of time, to scrutinize all the v'ouchtors in this offiee, but we fool satisfied that no irregularities of an,y kcind enist. We examilned the books of thle following-named Trial Juisticos: S. R. Johnston, T1. R. Robertson, H, J. F. WV. Coleman, J. D Hogan, I. S. Scott, J. W. Evans, H-. A. Glenn and Il. F. Elkin. We found them kept in a satisfactory imanner', and that all fines enltpr.ed thereon'0 had been turned over to the County 'Treasurer Tile books of Moses Mackoroll were not exhibited to us. In ex'sTrial Justice Mackey's books for the vear's 1873 and 187' we found fines collected wvhichu had not been turned over to theo County Treasurer, to the amount of ninety, flye dollars and t.wenty-seven cents. Mr. Mackey stated to uts that he had not done any criminal business since the year 1874.

There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stack of wisnes then on hand to be sold or any mare to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Aimon g these is a wine of the vintage of 186., described as a " Sweet Union P'ort,' but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, andi being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both phfysicians and wine fanciers have ai special interest in it as the oldest native wvine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. The whole stock Is in the hands of the wvel l-knowvn wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers--N. Y. Triunt, Nov. 19, 1977. The above speaks for Itself, but we would add flhat this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liquored nor watered,' that It has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes It Is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application, Respectfully, etc., H.
