We learn from our masonic friends that Signet %pter No. 18, of Royal Arch Masons, voted its late M1. E H. P. .Companion Eduard Scholtz, an appro priate jewel, as a token of its apprecia tion of his masonic services and devo tion to the Chapter. The jewel is a handsomely finished tripple triangle on which tbe word Jehovah is en graved in Hebrew. Suitable resoultions went with this deserved tribute to a worthy mason, who will feel justly proud of the gift from his brethren of the ancient guild. Mr. Scholtz will be missed not only by the masonic fraternity. His church will miss him and the community will miss him, for he was a devoted, ener getic and public-spirit:-d citizen, and always took an active interest in every thing likely to redound to the good of the community. $100 Reward Si100 To the readers of The Herald and News, wvill be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disea e that science has been able to cure in all its stages, andl that is Catarrh.

Solicitor Sehumpert was ready with his iidietleits, and is doing his duty taithfully. After the court was organized Judge Norton delivered a short charge to the Grand .Jury. Aioingst other things he said: The Grand Jury has nothing to do Witih legislation which ouu'ht to be enactedi or repealed. TIicir duty is -iip!vl to see to the enfuoreenient of the law it stands; to review the conduct of olie"ers not purely discretionary. liere it is the luty of an olicer to do a certain thing the Grand Jury ougl" to see that lie does it. He said it was the duty of the (Grand Jury to bring oflenders to justice, and while they were not to go around prying into every bidy's business, still it was their duty to take notice of certain crimes such as gai bling and selling whiskey contrary to law, and such other offenses. It is the duty of the Grand Jury to do their best to enforce the law. He then lhnrged them as to their special work in re,ard to the hills haned out by the Solicitor. The jury was organized with Mr. R. T. C. Iluiter as foreman. Jos. S. Reid, was appointed as an expert to assist the Grand Jury in the examination of the ofiices and so forth. The following bills were handed to the Grand Jury: John Walker-Concealed weapons. Fed Singley-Concealed weapons. .Jerry Davis, Henry Davis, Fed Sing lev, Henry Cannon-Disturbing relig ious nieeting; nolprossed as to Fed Sin gley. IIeiry Cannon-Concealed weapons. William Ringer-Burglary and lar ceny. Si Boise-Assault and battery with intent to kill, &c. Jason Summers-Murder. Robert Robertson-Arson. Mack Wheeler-Arson. Jacob and Sarah Bedenbaugh-For nication. Robert Taylor and Bettie Stockman -Adulterv. William H. Lane-Bastardy. Dock Moore-Murder. William Greenwood-Selling and buying seed cotton seed between sun down and sunrise. True bills were found in all the eases except Robert Robertson, charged with arson. Fed Singley plead guilty to carrying concealed weapons. Jerry Davis, Henry Davis and Hen rv Cannon were tried for disturbing a religious meeting and were found not guilty. They were defended by Geo. B. Cromer, Esq. Henry Cannon was found not guilty of carrying concealed weapons. He was not represented by counsel. Simps Harris was found guilty of assualt and battery of a high and ag gravated nature. He was defended by Blease & Blease. Si Boise was tried and found guilty of assault and battery with intent to kill. He was defended by Blease & Blea-e. William Ringer was tried for burg lary and larceny and found guilty with the recommendation to mercy. He was defended by Blease & Blease. The case against Jacob Bedenbaugh and Sarah Bedenbaugh-fornication was continued before being passed upon by the Grand Jury. Mack Wheeler "was convicted of ar son with recommendation to mercy. He was defended by C. L. Blease. Esq. The Solicitor was assisted by John stone & Cromer. '[he case against Jason Summers, charged with murder, is set for this miorniing. He will be represented by Johnstone & Cromer, Blease & Blease au(d Y. J. Pope. The Solicitor will be assisted by Goggans & Hunt. The case against Wmn. Greenwood, chargedl with buying and selling seed cotton between sundown and sunrise, is set for to-morrow. TIhe Grand Jury made their present muent yesterday and were discharged. RtEP'OT OF THlE G;RAND JURY. To his Honor J. J. Norton, Judge presiding: Having acted up)on and re turned all bills handed us by the hon ora ble Solicitor, we would most respect fully submit the following as our re ponrt: We have examined, by committees of our body, the differenit County oflees. Everything is neat and in good order. The books are well and correctly kept -every thi ngas it should be, leaving nio cause of complaint so far as we could ast-ertaini. We have also examined the public buildings- There are repairs needed in front of the Courthouse. The roof leaks and should be repaired. The Jail looks to be clean and kept in good order. The prisoners say they receive the proper attention. There are leaks in the roof of the jail which should be rep)aired. The roof on the kitchen neceds to be repaired, as it leaks, which is causing the plastering to fall ofi, and is (doing much damage to the, wall. 'The well is in bad condition. The wall inside should be built higher, and the shelter or covering over and around tue well should be renewed. The fence around the jail lot should be rebuilt. A number of glasses are out of the windlows of the jail. Many of these needed repairs about the jail were re ported by the last Grand Jury, but, received no attention. A committee visited the Poor House and report that they found the inmates all in appearance comfortable, and showing care on t[-e part of the keeper. T1hie need o,f a new building for the p)urp)oses of the County's charity was applarent, and 1no recommendation is therefore made in regard to the repair ing of the old building. The commit tee thinks that more care should be given to preserving the land by ter racing or ditching. An act of the Legisture, approved December 22, ]SSS, p)rovides that the the County Connmmissioners shall divide the p)ublic roads of the county into dis tricts of such size as they may deem advantageous, and appoint an over seer for each district and assi n hands, es they miay see proper. Anu the said Act further plrovides that the said Com mlissionlers Ishall require all persons lia ble to road duty to) work upon the public roads not less than six nor more than twvelve (lays in each year, and the said Act directs the manner in which all the roads are to be worked, and it is miade the duty of the Comiriissioners to eniforce the p)rov'sions o,f said Act, and1( to see that each and every road is worked in the way and manner direct ed in said Act; and for refusal or neglect to so (10 they shall be deemed guilty oif a misdemeanor. There has evidently been a great if not totail disregard oif he prov'isiois of this Act. Comiplaints conic to us from many secti'>ns of the county that the roads are in bad con dition; from sonme that they have not been worked. The road ~fromi the eleven-mile post to Bush River church has not been worked this year. The same report is mlade in regard t.o the road leading from 'Wyse's Ferry to the Graddick Ferry road. Here we have a: law, a plain lawv, with no doubts as to its prvsos whose provisions ha: . not been carried out. Trhere has evi-. dently been a neglect of duty under this law'. Trhe responsibility should be fixed and the offenders bie miade to answer. Our attention has been called to the fact that p)rop)erty heretofore assessed in T1ownuship No. 1 has been transferred t o other townsh ips, apparently to avoid he payment of the tax voted by Town shpNo. I to aid in the construction ofrailroads in said township. Comn plaint is made only of Township No. 1, but thme samie may Lbe true of other towvnships. The attention of the proper officers is called to this matter, andl if j improper changes have been made, the property should be mett't(l t ol township where, by right, it belou_. and the remedy applied for ;uch eva sions of law.

The same may be said of most of the creeks in the county.

It has met with decided ap proval from a majority of the members, and a good number have already ex pressea their willingness to go. The trip is designed to learn the imien some thing of camp life, in addition to giving them a holiday and a summer trip. The railroad company has promised a reduction of rates below the usual ex cursion rates, and as the company ex pects to carry theirown cooks, servants, &c., the actual expenses will be greatly reduced, in fact will amount to very little. The time or pla1ce has noIt been defi nitely settled, but it is probable that Hendersonville, N. C., will lbe the ob jective p)oint, as the peopIle of that city expect to have a grand Gala Week, commencing onl the 10th oIf August and continuing during the week, to wvhich they have been invited. Prizes of all kinds will be offered and everything done to make the week entertaining and pleasant. M1ilitary conmpanijes-.from different parts of the State will be on hand and will enter into a completitive drill, besides having a series of indi vidual contests for the superiority in the manual of arms. The new uniforms are being pushed through the department of war as fast as possible, andl are expected to arrive about the 1st of August, so that the company may leave as p)roposed, on the 12th. Why can't Newberry be represented in the competitive drill anld carry off the prize and honors, the material is in the comiipanty, andl if given the proper encou ragemien t wotuld do credit not only to themselves, their city, but to the State. Tlhe company now is Onl a firm for t ing, the outlook is encouraging, and it is but just that they have the mioral, as well as financial support (of the comn munlity, of the people whose lives and property they are ever readly to protect. They stand ready to respond to any call and will not be found wanting when it is necessary to show of what metal they are made.

Matthew Hall, one of tl first settlers of the town of Prosperity. Though not living here for a long time, he was still identified with the people of Pros perity and their interests. His mem bership he continued at the Prosperity A. I. P. church. We have been un able to get i is exact age, but believe he is about Eighty-eight or eighty-nine years old. Thus another of Prosperity's old land marks has been gathered to his fathers. Only one more of these old men remains, namely, Dr. Thompso i Young. "One by one we'll all be gathered home." Y nE. A Correction. In our report of the abstract of real and personal property published last week, we desire to make one or two corrections. The number of acres in Township No. 1, outside of the town of Newberry, should be 17,133 acres. The average value of real estate in Township No. 3 is a little less than $4 per acre, instead of a little more than $4. In our average price per acre, of the real estate, we included the buildings. The Colunmbia Newberry, and Laurens Rail road. The force of hands who have been grading on the Columbia, Newberry, and Laurens Railroad moved from here last week to .Jalapa where they have commenced g;ading on the line from tha t place to Newberry. The line out of town has not been located. The track has been completed to Newberry the crossing nut in and we understand that the roa(i from Newberry to Pros perity was to have been received by the railroad commission yesterday and the schedule of trains will be an nouinced in a few (lays. The roadl is already doing a good local b)usiness between here and Colum-. bia. The work between here and Clin ton will be pushed as rapidly as possi ble so as to secure connection with the G3eorgia Carolina and Northern, and be ready for the fall business. Newberry is destined soon to be the railroad centre of this section. New berry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and Fer titizer Company. We mentioned last week the election of the directors of this enterprise. On Saturday a meeting of the directors was held and J. M. Johnstone was elected President and L. W. Floyd Secretary and Treasurer and General Man ager.

To the Fditor of The Herald and News: The undersigned had the pleas. ure of attending a nien]ic at Mr. T. V. Wicker's on Saturday last. Tfhis was given by the Beth Eden Alliance. All of the farmers, with their wives and children met together, anid with them came a plenty of good things of every kind, and no one enjoyed it more than your correspondent. The ladies who had provided the meats, pastry, and other nice things, were Mrs. W. B. Aull, Mrs. James Reagin, Mrs. 8. B. Aull, Miss Bettie Reagin, Mrs. Luther Long, Mrs. Wal ter Barre, Mrs. T. V. Wicker, Mrs. - Hawkins, Mrs. Willie Caldwell, Mrs. - Rikard, Mrs. .J. B.

We had a very interesting talk from thie Hon Joseph L. Keitt on the work of the alliance. The most of his speech was oni t he Sub-treneury Bill. His argu ment was very good from his stand point,-but just exactly how the gov ernment is to loan nmoney at I percent. per annum to the farmers on their cot ton, for twelve mionths, and at the same time are paying 4 per cent. as interest on their own bonds, I cannot surmise. It don't look like business. It would not take long to bankrupt the Govern mnent if that plani goes into operation. The next thing the honorable gentle tian advanced was that no one ought to vote for anyoane to the Senate (and, by the way, lhe says lhe is on the card for the hoped-for vacanc-v in the senate fromi this counity , or House of Repre sentatives who wvill not promniseto vote againist any mian who will not promise to vote for a Uniitedl States SenatAr who is in favor of that bill. It looks like some of these fellowvs would swallow a cat tail first-if it onily hadl sub-treasury or Tilhnun habled on it. JILAeK JACK. Ts Life Worth Living ?

At :2.10 P. M. the Conference ad journed. Nearly all of the conferees left on the evening trains. It has been imp)ossible to ascertain the number of farmers in the Confer ence, as there has been no time to as certain in the rush of business the avo cations of fo.ir hundred men, but it is as near cert.1in as can be without a thorough canvass that a considerable majority were agricu!Lurists. It is worthy of note also that the farmers were the most aggressive and the law yers most conservative members at the, Conference. The executive comrmittee elected by the Con feren ce met at 4 P.
