Some Matters of Importance for the At tention of the Court and Our Legisa tore. To His Honor T. B. Fraser, Judge Presiding: The Grand Jury would re spectfully submit the following as their report: We have carefully investigated all matters coming before us of any pub lic interest. We have given much at tention to public buildings and county offices, having investigated all mat ters given in enarge by the honorable Solicitor, and returned the same. We find all the offices in proper order, everything showing great neatness and care on the part of each officer. The exhibits made us by each officer satis fies us that they are d,,ing their duty,' except the County Commissioners, to whom referenee is made later. The Cormner's books are wfll and neatly kept and in proper order. Our examination of the books of this officer convinces us that there is too great lat itude given to the construction and in tent of the law. We find that in the past two years 64 inquests have been held at a cost to the county of from $22 to $55 each, and there has been seven disinterments with increased cost. In addition to these, a number of inquests are held each year by the Trial Justices. We think that the Coroner and Trial Justices should be required to follow more closely the intent and meaning of the law, espe cially where death is well known to have been from -natural causes, and where there are witnesses to this fact. The cost to the county is too great, and if there is no other remedy there should be legislation on the subject. We find all the public buildings in good repair. In.the hall there are some needed repairs. The basin and the iron cells and the pipe leading to it need to be repaired. The iron work should be painted. The other portions white washed. From information coming to us we are of the opinion that there has been an extravagant expenditure of public funds, in building bridg,,3 and buying lumber. We are informed that there are many instances of this ex travagance but sight only a few. We would refer to the bridge over Dun can's creek and that over Enoree River, both near Whitmires. Also, the furn ishing lumber to build side-walks in the village of Helena. The bridge over Enoree River should be repaired at once or there will be additional expense to the county. - We recommend that the board of County Commissioners before the ex piration of their term of office be re quired W ellect or cause to be collected all toot very kind belonging to ti.e cauuty\ make a full itemized ac count oi. 'same to be filFi with the Clerk of'-,.>aft for future referen e by other Grand Juries. The tools to be turned over to their successor in offic-e and a receipt to be taken for the same. We well know that the examination of the books of the county officers each year by the Grand Jury is very imper fect. This m;sy te because they do not give the proper time or from the fact that there is seldom an expert on the Jury who can undertake such work. We therefore think it would be in the line of economy if an officer was chosen by the Legislature who would be fully competent whose duty it should be to make a thorough examination once each year of the books of every county officer in each county in the State. The attention of the Grand Jury has been called to thbe fact the Sheriff has been working outside the Jail, prisoners sentenced for short terms. We have investigated thbe charge and learn from the S eriff himself that such is the fact, but that the labor so exacted was on the property of the county and for benefit thereof and without additIonal to the county. Referring to the white infant in the care of a colored woman in this county and mentioned in our present. inent at the March term, we find it is possible at this time to procure a good and comfortable home for said infant with responsible wite persons, and recommend that the County Commis sioners take charge of said infant and procure it a good home. We do not think it proper to allow any compensa tion to this colored woman for her at tention, or for medical service. -As to the office of County Commis sioners we would say, that we have examined the same and find the records well and neatly kept, all claims filed where we could compare and verify and vouchers with the exception of one batch of vouchers from No. 468 to No. 519 inclusive, which could not be found. In this examination we re eeived every aid and courtesy at the hands of Mr. J. C. Dominick, chair man of the Board. We recommend that the County Commissioners procure estimates for beating the Court House with modern fixtures such as now used for beating puhblic buildings. We would ask our delegation in the Legislature to investigate the present law as to the Trial Justice system. We consider the present system a very ex pensive mode of dispensing justice. I f it cannot be improved, we would recommend that the number of trial justices in this county be reduced. We ask that the usual legal fee be allowed our clerk for services rendered. H. C.

A GIRL's SAD DEATH, Mis Dora McLain, of Clraw, Killed In Columbia while Att* ninitg to Crots a Street Car Track-Narrow E4capw or Her Two Friends. iSpecial to The Atlanta Constitutlon.1 CoLU..BIA, S. C., November 17.-One of the saddest accidents ever known in the city happened about 5:15 o'clock this afternoon, resulting in the death of Miss Dora McLain, of Chernw, who has becn attending the 'Winthrop Training school for teachers here. She was run over by one of the street cars on tbe electric line and frightfully mangled. Accompanied by two schoolmates, Misses Marion and Eleanor Godfrey, also of Cheraw, liss McLain was on her way to the postoflice, after, a ttend ing the matinee. They started across the street while cars were coming from each direction. After one had passed they started forward, evidently obliv ious of the fact that another car was rushing toward them from the opposite direction. The Misses Godfrey just did clear the track in time, the car touched their dresses. As Miss McLain stepped over thelirst rail the car struck her, throw ing her forward and turning her over twice, landing her with upturned face across the rail. Both wbeel!, of the car then passed over her body, mangling and crushing everything from the hips down. She was dragged a short dis tance and left sitting upright. Throw ing her hand to her head and passing it through her hair, she sank back ward, as a half dozen men rushed for ward. One threw a blanket from a window and then strong arms bore her to the training school boarding house, followed by an immense crowd that manifested eager sympathy. The news of t-e- sad aff'air rapidly spread through the city, and hundreds of persons thronged around the house, on the piazzas and into the yard, Miss McLain died to.night while be ing taken to the hospital for amputa tion. Miss McLain was but seventeen years old and was the youngest pupil of the training school. Her mother had been here attendiog the State fair and left this morning on her way borne. Mortorman H. B. Moore, who was running she car, was arrested tonight and taken to the guardhots>, bail being refused. He left his car after the acci dent and was found on the street by a policeman. It is stated by eye wit nesses that the car was going at a rate of twenty-tive wiles an hour at the time of the accident. GEN. CASSIUS M. CLAY WED;. The Aged Kentuckian Finally Marries a Fifteen-vear old Girl. LouiSN7TL,E, Nov. 13.-1it spite of the pleadings of his ehildren and re mnuostrances of his friends, en. Cas sius 31arcellus G in his 84th year, has married agav ', He succeeded in finding a Just": the Peace this morning to wed h his fifteen-year old domestic. A o'clock he krnd Dora Richardson e married by Esquire R. M. Dou , . None of his children or neighbo, s present. Two fa-m hands witness e ceremony. The children of Ge-11ay have been busy trN ing to previc the marriage. Brutus Clay, who is o eof the most in finentiai men in Madison county, and Miss Miss Mary Clay visited the Gen eral yesterday, and found him still possessed of that undanoted determnina ti')n which has characterized himmsince childhood. He told them there was no use in their pleading with him; he had made up his .mind, and they knew from past experience it was unchange able. They sent friends to see him, but nothing more could be done. The neigh borbood has been in a state of excitement, and no one would go near the house until after the ceremony was performed. Then the General sent word out tbat his friends who desired could come to see him. Gen. Clay's .friends and family say he is in his dotage. He first fell in love with an older sister of Dora Richard son. The Richardsons are mnountain people, and since Mrs. 'Richardson. was killed on thbe railroad bridge they have lived on Gen. Clay's place and worked as domestics. When he fell in love with the elder Richardson girl Mrs. Toomey, an Irish woman, was at work for him. G.en. Clay thought she was trying to make a match be tween the Richardson girl and her son George, and he discharged her. Soon aflerward Gen. Clay sent for Mrs Too mey and tried to make up with her. She told him she was not afraid of him and his pistols, and that if he would give her a pistol she would shoot the dispute out with. him. In telling of tbe occurrence, Gen. Clay said: "And I believe she'd have done it, too.t' Toomey finally ran off withb the girl, and Gen. Clay turned his attention to her little Sister. A correspondent called on Miss Laura Clay, President of Kentucky's Equal Rights Association, at her home in Lexington this mornings'and asked her if she would make some statement in .regard to the marriage of her father. Miss Clay was- aprently filled with ndignation. She said: "I cannot discuss this. It is perfect y awful." Just How It WVas.

The following resolutions were adop ted: Resolved, That a committee of three (3) be appointed by the president, who shall prepare an act authorizing this society to have a capital stock not ex ceeding $5,OO, and to raise the same by issuing and defining of certificates of stock. And that said committee be authorized to present, said act when prepared and to urge the passage of same by the General Assembly.

The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved, That the general superin tendent be required to be in Columbia at least one we ek prevoas to the open ing of the fair and if unavoidably de tatned some one be authorized to act for hiw; and that the superintendent of the various departwents be required to be on the grounds not later than the Friday preceding the fair. NO MONEY FOR PREMIUMS. COLUMBIA, November 16-The Fair authorities have met with some diffi culty in raising the money necessary to meet all of its obligationp. This is due to the fact that the Fair last year was a complete financial failure and that this year while the receipts were much larger than those of 1893 there was realiy but one big day. Last night at the annual meeting of society a resolution was adop&Qem powering the executive committee to borrow money or take any other finan cial step which in their judgment might be deemed necessary or expedi ent for the s' ciety. This morning a special committee of the society, con sistinig of Messrs Smythbe, L. D. Childs, WV. E. Evans and A. H. Wh ite, visited the mayor of Columbia and at their re quest he called an extra meeting of-the city council about noon. The gentlemen of the committee appeard before the council and asked that it make an appropriation of %2,500 immediately for the financial re lief of the society, urging as the reason for the request that tne State Fair benefits Colutnbia and it was but proper that Columbia should come to the society's aid. There was considerable discussion, many of the aldermen tak ing the position that the council had not consulted the citizens and could not consquently tell what to do with, the money of the city. They contended further that they could not be expected to act on a matter about the legality of which there was so much doubt; and, furthermore, that tbe finances of the city were really in no better condition tan those of the society. Whbile the discussion was in progress several members of thbe council, whose names could not be ascertained, with drew from the room and council was fialy forced to adjourn because of the lack of a q urum. Thus the matter stands. WVhat arrangements the so ciety will make this afternoon for meetiog all of i's ob!igations is not known. The executive committee of the society is still in session. [The corporat ion counsel subsequent ly ad vis'ed t hat the city could legally ap propriate tbe money.-ED. H. &. N.] MAYOR SLOAN SIGNS THE CHECK. Acting at once upon the receipt of the papers City Treasurer Walker drew the check for the entire amount, Mayor Sloan affixed his signature and in a short time the society had its money. It needs now about 21,5001 to meet all its oblig tions. The action of Mayor Sloan meets with general approbation. All wanted the legality question settled first. Columbia's proumpt action in helping the society out of its difficulty whben her treasury is so depleted will doubtless be appreciated by the people of the whole State.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The Re publican Congressional campaign com mitttee have been advised of the inten tion of defeated candidates to institute contests in twenty-six districts, the contestee in every case but one being a Democrat: Alabama-4th, W. F. Aldrich vs Robbins; Stb, Crandall, populist, vs Wheeler; 9th, T. H. Aldrich vs Under wood. Arkansas-6th, Myers vs Mill. Kentucky-7th, Denny vs Owens; 10th, Hopkins vs Kendall. Louisiana-Ist, Kernochan vs Meyer; 2d, Coleman vs Duck; 3d, Beattie vs Price; 5th, Benoit (Populist) vs Boat ner. Missouri-3 1, Orton vs Dockery; 5th, Van Horn vs Tarsney.

Walker vs Turner; 8th, McCaull vs Meredith; 10th, Yost vs Tucker. The contestants from the 10th Ken-. tucky, 5th Louisiana, 3d Missouri and 6th Nebraska districts have not in formed the committee.of the grounds upon which they intend to make their contests. In all the other districts named fraud will be alleged. The Louisiana contestants assert that the frauds are of all kinds that may be per petrated at an election, including illegal voting, stuffing the ballot-box, sup pressing or falsifying the returns, and the prevention of voting by force or in timidation. The contests from Virginia will be made in pursuance of a plan that in cludes the determination of the con stitutionality of the present election law. in that State. It is said at the committee rooms that one of the charges to be made by the contestants is that the election officers threw out at least 20,000 votes after the election. In the 1st district alone the number thrown out, supposedly cast for the Republican candidates, was 4,000. The Unit Rule in Congress.

Populists Tell Him They Want No More Long-haired Anarchists In Theirs. DENVEE, November ll.-Gov. Waite received a dressing down in his own executive chambers last night by the conservatives men of his party. Nearly all the candidates on the Populist State ticket were present, and- each one in turn sailed into the old man rough shod. Each man declared himself' a true believer In the party principles, but that henceforth he wanted to hear no more from the man for whom they were sacrificed.. Lafe~-Pence, Congressman from the First district, was the principal speaker. He denoanced the Governor and his following in unmeasured terms, telling him to get himself off into the wilder ness as soon as possible after .January 1, a=d there bury himself from the sight of men. "We ,vant no more long-haired, wild-eyed Anarchists and Socialists in the party," he exclaimed with warmth, "and the quicker you and your office-grabbing friends take yourselves away the better you will be liked." The conservatives were so forcible that for the first time since coming to Denver Waite was speechless. .Follow ing this conference, it was decided to abandon all Sunday political meetings, which caused so much scandal and in curred the enmity of the churchmen, and organize on the basis of good gov ernment..

GREENVILLE DISFRANCRISED. More than Six Hundred Voters Countei Out by the Board of Election Com inissioners. [Special to News and Courier.] GREENVILLE, November 15.-Thi election commiqsioners in this coun. ty held an adj>urned meeving to day and decided to throw out the vote of Greenville city precinct No. 1, which gave 691 for Pope, and 69 for Evans, 728 No and 30 Yes for Consiitutional Convention. The action was based on the course of the managers, who eluring most of election day did not require the pro duction of registration tickets by voters, accepting their oaths that they were only qualified and registered. The re suIt is that Evans is given a large ma jority in the county, and a majority of nearl3 500 which the county gave for No is reversed to a majority for Yes. THE DARLINGTON FRAUD. DARLINGTON, November 15.-The adjourned meeting of the county board of election commissioners was held to day and the county vote was canvassed. The total number of votes polled was 1,566, and of these 928 were for Evans and 638 for Pope. The county officers and Constitutional Convention ques tion received about the same number of votes as were cast for Evans, and so Darlington County by the frauds practiced is said to have gone for Evans by a majority of 290, when at this precinct alone more than twice this number of voters were not allowed to vote. Mr. C. S. Nettles gave legal notice that he would contest the election to the board, which was represented by Mr. C. P. Townsend. A number of affidavits were put in evidence and testimony from strong men all over the county was sworn to in these affi davits. The case is a strong one and will be carried through to the end.

The following telegram to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells of a South ern Railway company appointment which may mean much for the South: Milton V. Richards, land and im'ai zration agent of the Baltimore and Ohio company, has resigned to accept a similar position with the Southern Railroad Company.

Kretzer has been appointed to succeed him. -Mr Kretzer has been in the em ploy of the engineer's department of the company for many years. Mr. Richards is tbe originator of the land and immigrant department of the Bal timore and Ohio, and. has built up many industries and settled many im migrants along the line.

President Spencer invited Mr. Richards to take charge of it, with office at 1300 Penn sylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C. Only Two Parties Needed. [:St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) The wr eck which caune to the popu lists in the recent elections adds an other illustration to the many which were furnished before the fact that two parties are all that are needed by the American people. All over the country where the populists had gained a foot hold they lost ground in the canvasses of 1893 and 1891. In those which have just taken place their defeat was con spicuous and overwhelming. They lost many ofthe seats which they held in Congress, and in the State elections in Kansas and Colorado they were buried under an avalanche of votes. In Ne braska. where an improper Republican nomination for Governor gave them a chance to carry the election, their small majority was obtairied through fraud, and probably .will be overturned by the courts. The fate of the populists is the same as that of all the other minor parties which have appeared in our politica. The Anti-Masonic, the Know Nothing, the Greenback and the Labor parties after strutting and fretting their little hour upon the stage, passed away. The Power of Infloence. [New York Sun.)

Suppose each acre of cotton produces one bale, and that bale brings In the market $253. It cost $8.50 to gather it. The bagging and ties are worth, $1, wich makes $9.50 to gather and get It ready for market. This leaves $15.50, not counting any thing for rent or culti vation. The acre of land will pro duce fifty bashels of coin. Fifty bush els of corn will feed and fatten five hogs that will average in weight 300 punds. Say the five pigs cost $2each, 10. It will cost $5 to slaughter them. The five will make 1,500 pounds of pork, worth say 5 cents per pound, makes $75. Deduct expenses, $15, leaves $60, From that the net amount of proceeds of cotton, and it leaves a balance of $44.50 in favor of the pig raising.-Birmingham News. Burglar. "Where's your money? Quick!"

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 4.-The meeting of the cotton growers which began here, Tuesday, adjourned yester day after having effected a permanent organization under the title of the "Cotton Planters' Association of the United States." This convention is to meet at least twice a year and to consist of four del gates from each ccngressional district in the cotton growing States and three delegates at large from each State ap pointed by the Goveruors of such States,- irrespective of party preference. The association is to hold its first meet ing in Jackson, Miss., the second Wed. nesday in January, 1895. The following officers were elected to serve until the January meeting: Gov ernor James Stones, of Mississippi, President; Hon. J. 0. Waddell, of Georgia, and Commissioner of Agricul ture for the cotton growing States, Vice-President; Robert E. Eckeberger, of Alabama, Secretary, and Professor James Smith, of Georgia, Treasurer. The chairman was requested to is sue an address to all business interests asking co-operation in obtaining the objects of the association and the fol ing resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That the honest convic tion of this convention as practical cotton growers is that the estimates that are being sent out by the cotton exchanges in reference to the crop are excessive, and it is the belief of this convention, based upon practical ob servation and best statistical Informa tion, that the present. crop will not ex ceed 8,500,000." GLOOM OF COTTON GROWERS. The Bear Conspiracy to Force-Down the Price. [From the N. Y. Tribune, Nov. 13.J The bear element in speculative ex changes is one of the most vicious ob stacie the industries of the country have bad to contend against. The depressing influence the bears of speculation have had for the last year upon legitimate trading has been one of the unfortunate features of hard times, and recuperation under their savage attacks has been slow. Natural conditions may, of necessity, compel prices to drpp, but then the bears force them still lower, never, taking any thought of who is to-be the loser. The bear element In speculation has caused more distress, bankruptcy and ruin than any adverse condition of the times. It is an element that stops at nothing to make profits for itself, and it revels in its success. Unfortunately for the people of the South, their staple product, cotton, has for the last year ben the foot ball of the operators of decline in the trading on the cotton exchanges here and abroad. There has been no let up in the steady warfare they have carried on against it, and every possible til:k and device has been used to hammer down the price. Bear pools have been formed time and again in- all- specula tive exebanges for the purpose of ruin ing one man; they have been formed for the purpose of wreeking corpora tions, and they have succeeded, wheth er or not intentionally, in throwing thousands of people into bankruptcy, It seems a most useless and most cer tainly a thankless job to call the atten tion of the bear speculators to the dIs aster for which they are responsible. The men who call themselves bears seem to be without hearts, and they satisfy the small amount of conscience they have have with liberal donations to the missionary funds. The damage which bear speculation in cotton has done the Southern' cotton planters is stupendous. Under the present adverse conditions of the cotton market the prospect for the Southern people is anything but right. In the cotton belt, where so inany depend for a livelihood on cotten culture, there will be great distress, and it is Impossible to estimate the amount of suffering that will be experienced. The low price of cotton has had such a distressing effect upon the Southern ers that they are ready to take fright at every possible suggestion of adverse circumstances, and they are clearly in a most anfortunate plight. The buying power of the people who produce cot ten is greatly diminished. In fact their buying power Is reduced to the bare necessities of life. John L Dunn, of the firm of John I. Dunn & Co, of this city, who for many years was interested in the loaning of moneys on lands throughout the West and South and Is now a trustee for holders of mortgages in the South rep resenting loans aggregating between $1,000,000 and $2000,00,said yesterday: "The situation In the South is griev ous.in the extreme, and there is not a single bright prospect. To illustrate the ruin wrought by low price of cotton to the planter I will cite two cases: A plantation near Vicksburg was pur chased In 1889 for I$18,000; a loan of $6,000-wat' procured upon it, and when sold out this year there was only one bid for the property, and that was for a nominal amount, madein the Interest of the lender. Another place, purchased at the same time for $3,300, was recent ly sold for $1,000. All cotton planta tions, except In occasional Instances, have depreciated in the same ratio. The value of city really has been fairly well maintained, and the failures in jobbing circles have not been as numerous as might have been expected. This is ex plained by the fact that the decline in cotton, while enormous, has not been violent, giving merchants time to cur tail credits and liquidate indebtedness. The prevailing Impression that cotton growers are free of indebtedness asecom pared with Western farmers Is errone ous. The objectionable system ofecredits between factor and grower is now ruin ing the latter. The cotton factor makes an advance in the shape of a lodger credit to the grower for an amount equal to $10 or $20 for each bale he ex pects to be able to shIp; a chattel mort gage is taken on the crop before -it exists. The factor charges against this account the supplies furnished for mak ing the crop, at prices netting 20 to 50 per cent profit to himself. Thus it is that in a season like the present, when cotton is selling at cost of prodnction the majority of growers are penniless, and the result brings distress to the entire cotton belt population," It is now being argued by friends of he South and by all people who want to see one part of the coumtry as pros perous as another that the Southerners' interests should tbe more diversified. In the cotton belt, where a fall in the price of cotton like the present comes to that staple, there is no otber industry for the people to fall back upon, and so the disaster is more appalling. The bard times from which the people of the South are suffering may have a benefi cial effect in one way-their eyes may be opened to the great necessity of ex tending their industries so as to em brace something more than cotton cul ture. The law of supply and demand would not then be worked so satisfac torily by the bears. -AT 0 hLETTIER'&9 THE REGULATOR OF PRICES. 200 pieces Good checked Homesprn only 4 cents pet yard.
