DoMen Gather Figs of ThiLtles? It is as reasonu.le to expect Fig from thistles as to look for ,ood results when poor seeds are plauted. If You plant an acorn you calitot gather apricots, and if YOU'sowr poor anll old seeds you can nlot have large;( anld solid cabbla,e hrs nor round anid regular tomatoes, nor perfect and juiey eanteloupes. The moral of this is, Be sure you get good seeds, to avoid disappp)1ointmlenlt. Lan dretl's see(s are regarded the best all over the Unitel States, and you can get the fresh crop at Pelhail's Drug Store. tf County Farmers Club Will hold a meeting in New berry on the third Monday, 20th day of Febru ary.

The juries were diled and organized and a number of ills handed out by the Solicitor and the iarge to the Grand Jury was delivered, lien the Court took a recess for the xblic sales to be made. JUDGE WALLACE'S CHARGE > the Grand Jury was an able, full and ear one as to their general duties. fter charging them with reference to te bills in hand he told them that icy were to act in a visitorial capaeity. nd that during the year they should ex 'nine all the public offices, and if they mund anything wrong in the manage ent of any of them it should be brought the attention of the Solicitor; and not mly that, it was but fair to the public rvants of the county, that, if it was mund any of themt had been faithful, ey should say so, and let these ser ants have the well done of their fellow tizens for duties faithfully performed. Our liberty-lovingancestors had trans itted to us a free government, where ie w ill of the governed was the highest tw, and if we are to perpetuate these -ee institutions much depends on the irtue and intelligence of our citizenship, 'he modes and methods heretofore em loyed in the administration of justice ere both effieient and sufficient. It i ot so much the manner and modes of dministering justice, as the failure of iose interested to do their duty, that auses the miscarriage of justice. No1 ne number of challenges allowed the efendant. You rarely see a jury of ,velve men concur in a verdict that i; ot sustained by the evidence before hem. The trouble is generally witl be individuals.. Whenever any one has committed rime there are generally two trials-one y the press from the testimony hastil. llected and, naturally, when only the rosecution is heard, a very one-sidet -ial; the other by a court and jury, wher oth sides are carefully heard, and whet welve men agree in a verdict, in ninety ine cases out of a hundred their find g will be sustained by the evidence efore them. If there is miscarriage ii to be found in false swearing on the itness stand. And in this justice is arrupted at its very fountain. And the efect in the law of homicide lies righ here. And if for any reason persons believi at the law cannot be enforced by the ourts, and fail to trust to the law, ther e have no government, but anarchy, 'lien the rights of the stranger only are rotected,and the rights of the weak are icritlced. Men forget that when the3 brow the law aside and take upon them lves to enforce it, that they become vi, lators of it. and in so doing,if they tak< uman life, they become murderers' be >re God and man. Men do not rellec 1such cases. All good citizens shoul ndeavor to strengthen and protect the tw, and thus maintain the supremacy o: rhau. we call local self-government. The Grand Jury should not form itsel: io a detective agency. It is the dut, f every citizen when he knows the lav as been violated to bring the violator: justice. The violai ion of the crimi al law effects one or more persons as be case may be, as when burghary 0; ureny has been committed somebody' roperty has been taken, and hiumar 'ason says that the persons thus direct y' iL.jred should apply the law, hut it i he duty of the whole citizenship to see he law enforced, and whoever has it en orced does a patriotic act. Whenever public offences are commit ed they should be investigated by th lrand Jury. Whenever they are of rivate nature and brought to the atten ion of the Grand Jury, send the parta a Trial Justice, andl whenever publii t the Grand Jury send for witnesses 'he Grand Jury should pay no attentiot anonymous letters. The following bills were handed tothi ~rand Jury by the Solicitor: The btate vs. Manuel Demnbo; bur. L'ry and larceny. The State vs. John Livingstone; lar eny. The State vs. Robert Moorman; as ault and battery of a high and aggra ated nature, and with intent to kill. The State vs. Warren Gallman, smile; ackson, Win.

The jail is well ainid neatly kept. Everything about the yard shows care. Tle huiul ings used a1 a iook-roomu or kitehenlt needis painting ov"erheatl. Tfhe lower part of the walls outside should be re poinlte(, 'which is nee<le<d at once"tt 1rt teet the walls. The roof of this buill ing should he repaired. Almost the entire jail should be re-pl:stere<l o the inside. The lower story is unsigltly and un lofortable for the faiiily liv ing in it. The (tices of all the County otlicers are in a ineat and g<4 old iition. The records are well kept, ailt all the Ia pers in each office are properly filed In fact we found iothing to comlaiil1 of, but muceht to comlentl. So far as weroul(l examiniani uniler stand, the hooksalit1 p:iapersin the oflice I of the County Commissioners are inl or I der and well kept. We recomIlIeI(l ' that a safe he purchiased for tile use 4) this ottice. We woul(d report a part of the Ashford Ferry roa<i, near SpehIl's shops us being ini almost impassable condittion. A ditch is needed to be cut a short distance so as to protect t his part of the road. In fact aliost every road in the entire County is ini bad on (litiol, antid we are at a loss where to fix the laue. It seems that the law does not give the County Commissioners sutlieient power to reqllire, or rather to I comlpel their ap]poinitees to (lischarge the duties of their appointment. So long as mnii are more (isl)se(l to shirk than discharge their whole <duty, just that long will we he cursed with bad - roads. A law that does not furnish the power to entorc"e it, is Worse than no law. We believe the law inl regard to the appointment o;' Constables to be raically wrong, and should be amnend ed. The habitual enoivymenit oft irre spounsibile mien to perthrmi the <duties of that office, without tirst having given a good and suthicienit bond, we believe to be contrary to the intent and spirit of our law. It places too much power inl Sthe hands of meni who are inot at all resonsibPle, and shiould they transcend the limits of their power, die aiggrievedl p arty can have no redress. Our people Sare miade to feel the ett'eets (of this law, in the niultiplication oft siiall and friv olous eases, in which there is little vio 3lation of law andl conseutenitly iiothinig gained by the ex:anle giveii of the punishmienit of crimie, anti the etost unt psdon the County gives no' adequate -return.

The one on the body of Josh on: Hendesron, who was at first thought ley' to have died from natural causes and la.: n' stated by us last week, developed ar into what was considered by the Cor- con oner's jury into a case of death at the hands of some one by a gun-shot wound. The case was one of purely circumstantial evidence. Henderson I was found with his head in the fire- by place, in the house alone, and with his ttiiu head badly burned. Upon examina- F } tion by Dr. Houseal a gun-shot wound Cat was found in his head and it was the Ne opinion of the doctor that this wound Mi was the cause of Henderson's death. Cot The evidence before the jury pointed to one Tom Sims as the guilty party, r and upon a warrant from the Coroner Mi upon the finding of the jury, Sims was Col arrested and put in charge of Mr. W. W. Caldwell as constable. But Sims 3 seems to have concluded it was not 188 good for him to go to jail, and just as yea Mr. Caldwell got in town Sims broke Jos1 loose and made good his escape. ber It seems that Henderson and Simis age had been in the habit of gambling, and e no donbt quarreled over the game. The other case, on the death of Isaac L Boozer, who was found dead in the Feb woods, the investigation was con-Ba clal cluded here on Saturday. There was ce a big erowd of negroes present and the 2 testimony was taken in the Court Ep House. The jury reached a verdict Hat that Boozer came to his death from Pt the blow. of an axe or some blunt pointed instrument in the hands of Patience Chalmers, and that Margaret ,, Chalmers, her daughter, was acces- bee sory. The two women were arrested resi and are now in jail. Their cases will not be tried at this term of the Court. 1 Cot MaIeday. anc There was a big crowd in town Mon- nlo dlay and everybody seemed happy.
