I see an articlo In tho Registor, of July 28th, about the "Farley Irby affair," from Hodges ostensi bly, which undertakes to forestall public opinion in that controversy and ait In judgement on General Farley, and then call on others likewise inclined to do something. If that is the game, I tako it for granted that Tho Groenvillo News 18 fair enough to allow both sides to play at it. The correspondent alluded to says ono good thing and that is that Senator Irby had best tako notice of tho affair. This is good advice and could woll go along with some that General Farley gave him. Now, both of these men aro from Laurens, and wo all know them. General Farley can bear a comparison with any man in his work for and devotion to the re form movement. irby can not boar tho comparison with him either as to character or services and our people all know it, So far as the controversy Is concerned, and as we see it, instead of being a "bascloss and scurrilous attack," it is a complole conviction of Sena tor Irby of tho charges made against him by Goneral Farley.? Besides this Gonoral Farley has vindicated himself from all of tho charges against him and now stands on high and patriotic grounds. I am a reformer, and while I re gret any quarrel of this kind, I still say that Senator Irby got exactly what ho deserved for trying to "blacklist" General Farley and Congressman Shell. Tho only way for us to keep peaco and harmony is to put our condemnation on the unscrupulous acts of such men as Senator Irby and make them shut up, or get out of tho party. Cer tainly we can not expect an hon orable and spirited gonlleman like General Farley to bo quiet and submit while ho is being under mined, slandorcd and Injured by such "stabs in the dark" as tho "Craddoek" article, All honest re formers aud nllianccmon demand "fair play."

To His Honor W. H. Wallace, Pre stdimr Judge: The Grand Jury respectfully submits the following report: The improvements roccommended by them at the February Term of Court have been completed vis: Jail, Public Buildings and Poor House, and they would further reccommond that the County Commissioners of Laurcns County would set apart so many acres, say twenty acres of tilable land, or more, at tiieir discretion around the Buildings for the use of the Stewarts and inmates of the Poor House. Also, j the County Commissinors to erect two suitable tenant houses upon the land, whmv to bo left to their better judgment, rent the same to the highest bidder at an early day as practicable. The Grand Jury is in possession of the fact, that there is no Plat of the land belonging to to Poor House. They rcccommend that tho County Commis sioners at once will have the land sur veyed and a Plat of tho same to bo filed in their office. Wo further reccommond that tho Treasurer's Office County Commission ers Office Clerk's Office and School Commissioners Oflico by bringing them on a lino with tho main wall of tho Hall under tho Court House, thereby making these offices more comfortablo and com modious. We find our efficiont County Commis sioners havo done all they can to havo good roads, having advertised tho snmo to bo put in good order and condition by first of September next, at which timo they will be inspected by them and all delinquents then will bo dealt with according to Law. They further reccommond tbnt tho Honorable Sena tor and members of Legislature from Laurcns County mako an effort at the next meeting of the General Assembly to secure tho passage of an act making it the duty of tho State Chemists to mako all analysis and tests when re quired, as evidence in tho Courts of General Sessions. We would further say to your Honor we havo appointed a Committee of our body to mako r. general investigation of tho various offices of tho County on or about tho first of August next, which Committee is to report at the next meeting of (he Court, thore now being no irregularities in the cilices known to us and it being impracticable for us at tho present to make a thorough investi gation of tho same. We reccommond that all prisoners confined in the County jail be brought to a speedy trial, or that in ease where there is no evidence to sustain the charge, that the prisoners bo released on their own recognisance and not confined in jail at the expense of tho County. In conclusion the Grand Jury would extend to your Honor the high appreci ation of the kindness shown them. All of which is respectfully submitted. M. Ij. Bullock, Foreman. In Rlcntoriain? Mrs. Jane 0. Martin, ncc Cooper, was born in Abbeville County in 1S15), and died at her home in Laurcns County, July 23d, 1893, in tho seventy-fourth year of her age. She joined tho church in 1811, at Pleasant Grove Campmeeting, and was a consistent member fifty-two years. She loved tho church and relig ious worship, thus setting forth her ear ly training. She was happily married to James Martin, December 30th, 1811, and always proved herself a true wife, a noble wo man, a loving mother, and a faithful Christian. Most truthfully may bo said of our mother that she attended to all the obli gations based upon her relations to her family In the last years of her life, when health and strength had failed her and old ago had marked its furrows up on hor brow, she still manifested groat interest in her domestic affairs. Tho Christian graces were beautifully blinded in her character. 11 er sympa thy and charity for the sick and Buffer ing were proven not by tears and kind words alone, but by her works also. During her last illness sho Buffered in tensely for three long yearp, hut through it all seemed fully resigned to God's will. Despite tho efforts of a skillful physician and all attention we could ronder, tho parting came; tho tie that bound her to earth was broken, and our mother is gone?is dead. In tho presence of relatives and friends wo laid her away in tho silent grave to rest at old Chestnut Ridge, by the side of our father and other loved ones clear to me, to await the resurrection morn. While our hearts were made sad and our homo made dark, may God bo mer ciful, and omfort us in this our greatest trial, and enable us to meet on that "beautiful shore, where parting and pain will bo no more." Heb Son. Mt. Gnllaghor, S. C, July 7, 1893. Walter Bridges, Athens, Tonn., writes: "For six years I had been nfllicted with running sores, and an enlargement of the hono in my leg.

"I.'Mvs Lave tboir time to fall, Aud Uowois to wither at the North wiud's breath, And stars to sot?but all, Thou hast all soasons for tblno own, oh Death}!1 Mid-summer, with naturo in her perfect array, was the limo ap pointed to take this one young in years, age 22, surrounded with what gives life its joys und desires, gentln and amiable in disposition, attructive in person, wife of eight months and two days, possessing qualities to make and retain friends. To the human view not tho cho sen lime to take her in life's bloom from a loving husband, affectionate relatives and friends, not to that view, was this submissive spirit's time to go, who never during the five months was ever known to murmur that she was prostrated on a bed of illness, that lifo in its beauty was cut short by the de stroyer consumption, "but all sea sons are thine own oh Death," and God's decrees are not as man's. Her walk on earth evinced true ness of character in all relations, and the hour of death was glorious ly triumphant. Tho parting re quest to loved ones to meet her on tho golden shore, that Heaven was sweet?her sufferings had been for Jesus?the clearness of her tones, that had been broken and low, declaring her faith in tho hereafter, was remarkablo and should comfort tho lonely husband in his hours of sadness that an angel had walked by his side, now watching and waiting for him on Heaven's bright shore, to tho aged grandmother, who had given up so many, one by one, con soling to her "that after life's fit ful fever, sho sleeps well." To each friend tho hour was felt who saw her pass from life unto death, that she could exclaim "Death, where is thy sting ? Grave, where is thy victory? 8. H. B.
