' The lawyers askod that the Common
Pleas be not opened until this moruing
so the Judge rant oveir to his home in
Yorkville, and the Court will be open-d
this morning. We puilish this week
the full text of the presentment of the
Grand Jury, though our synopsis last
week covered about all the points.
PRESENTMENT OF TIE GRAND JURY.
To His Honor, I. D. Witherspoon, Judge Pre
siding: The Grand Jury would beg to report that
they have examined and returned all Bills handed
them by the Honorable Solicitor.
We have examined all the public offices and
find the offices and all records well and neatly
kept. We commend highly the efficiency of the
County Clerk in keeping the records in most con
venient order and also well arranged. The same
may be said of the Probate Judge and his office.
The- offices of 'Auditor and Treasurer have been
lately investigated by the Comptroller General
and by our Foreman, as required by law. Every
thing was then found to be correct, and all
amounts received and paid out were properly
aecounted for. The office of the School Com
missioner was found well arranged and he has
madie all reports required by law. The papers
and books in the County Commisssoners' office
also are well kept and, are in proper order. In
examining the accounts paid for supplies fur
nished the paupers, we are of the opinion that an
exhorbitant price has been paid for much of those
supplies. This matter should receive the careful
attention of the Commissioners.
The committee who visited the Poor House
report that not one of the repairs and improve
ments recommended in our last report have re
ceived any attention from the Commissioners.
The recommendations in our last report were
much needed, not for show, but for the comfort
of the keeper and family and of the unfortunate
inmates. We would again recommend that a
crib be built, or a house to stcre away the crops
raised on the place, and the provisions used for
the inmates. There are some buildings near the
old poor house that could be removed at little
cost and be made to answer those purposes. The
committee found ta) twelve inmates, two white
and ten colored. All looked as if they were re
ceiving the best care and attention, clothing all
neat and clean, and the same may be said of the
rooms. The kitchen and dining room are too
open, they should be ceiled at once. Comfort as
well as health require that this be done.
At the Jail we again find that the recommenda
tions of our last report have been utterly ignored.
we repeat those recommendations, and urge that
the work be done. There are glass out of win
dows in the Jail; in the kitchen one sash is en
tirely gone from one of the windows. There are
two leaks in the roof of the Jail needing repair.
The ditch spoken of in our last report is yet
badly needed. This ditch should be of such
width and depth as to be able to carry off all the
water falling on the lot. The good of the prop
erty as well as health require that this should be
done. The top ofone of the chimneys of the Jail
has been blown off; this should be replaced. All
the cells are neat and clean, and the prisoners
look as if they had received every care. We feel
it our duty to make these suggestions of repairs
at the Poor House and Jail because they are
public property, the repairs are greatly needed,
and we would ask that the Commissioners be
required to have this work done, or that they be
required to show cause.
A portion of the road from Kempson's Ferry
toward Bush River is in bad condition, not hav
ing been worked this year. There are several
small bridges in No. 4, made of small pine poles,
that are dangerous to persons passing. These
bridges should be repaired.
In Township No. z, at Brooks' branch, there is
a large and dangerous hole washed out that is
dangerous and should be repaired at once, being
impassable.
The Workman bridge, in No. 7, on Little River,
is in a dangerous conaition and requires imme
diate attention.
We recommend that the legal fee be paid our
clerk for services rendered.

Ben Stanford, charged withb the nmur

of the case of the defense by Lawyers
Bradley & Wilson is regarded as a
master-piece of legal work. But while
they worked hard and wisely for the
life of their client, the State's interest
were ably cared for by Prosecuting

April, 1893, was tried last week in the

The Fire Fiend Again.
Burnings in this section are becom
ing too uncomfortably common. If it
is the work of an incendiary there is
need for some heroic measures to find
him out and to deal to him such pun
ishment as his diabolical work de
mands.
- On Sunday night the residence of
Mrs. John Hayes two miles from New
berry was destroyed by fire. The fire
was discovered about one o'clock in the
night. Mrs. John Hayes, Mr. J. Henry
Hayes and:fanily, also Mr. Will Hayes
and family, were all in the house at
the time. Mr. Henry Hayes says he
wa,s up about 11 o'clock and saw no
fire and there had been none in the
kitchen since earls in the afternoon of
Sunday. The fire originated in or
about the cook room, however. When
he was aroused and got out the cook
room had not burned but the blaze was
burning briskly and brightly on the
floor of the pas-age between the
kitchen and house, as if it were oil
burning
Mr. Will Hayes and wife who had
just moved in the house, and only
partially moved, were up stairs. The
others were on the lower floor.
Very little furniture or wearing ap
parel or anything else was saved. The
meat house and contents and two bug
gies were also burned. There was no
insurance. They estimate the total
loss at $,2500. The house was a very
good two-story frame building.
Mr. Will Hayes would have lost all
of his household goods but they were
still at the depot.
Gov. Tillman, we hope, will offer a
good reward for the capture and con
victior of some of the incendiaries and
po'sibly a good square conv!etion and
execution will act as a wholesome les
son to others, who may have an incli
nation in this direction, not to do so.
There seems to be little doubt that
this was an incendiary fire.

An Important Town 3eeting.
Mayor Jones has called a meeting of
the citizens of the town to be held in
the opera house on Friday afternoon of
of this week at 4 o'clock.
This is an imliortant meeting and
we hope to see more than a handful of
the citizens present. The time for the
election of a council has been changed
and the election comes now in Decem
ber. This meeting of the citizens is to
determine how that election shall be
held and when and also to eonsider an
amendment to the charter so that the
Clerk and Treasurer shall be paid a
stated salary instead of a commission.
This change, in our opinion, should be f
made. Then we could always tell just
what we were doing.
At any rate there are matters of suf
a
ficient importance to the town to tiring
out a full meeting.

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name; Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
