Cothran at the October Term of the Court of General Sessions for Darlington County. Jfr. Forman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: By n change in the lav of com paratively recent date grand| juries are drawn to serve fora year. It was not always eo. Formerly the grand juries were drawn to serve for only one term of the ooart. The present system is better, just as skilled labor is better than unskill ed labor. It is to be supposed that a body of intelligent men, having the advantage of their eaooeasive terms with instructions from the presiding Judge would become more familiar with thoir duties, and be able to diaobarge them more satis factorily to themselveo and the pub lic than a body drawn fresh from the people at each torn of ooort. Besides your term of office not being limited to a single ooart, you are the grand jury after the court adjourns t not sitting it is true, in an organised capacity bat still grand jurors, and while not in actual at tendance upon the ooart, the datiee nod responsibilities of the office rest upon yoa. Mr. Foreman, yon form a very erroneous conception of tbe impor- tanoe of the grand jury, and of tbe qualifications of these who should sit upon it, if yon judge of those qualifications by tbe obaraeter of persons yon sometimes see on grand juries. Tbe only qualifications required for u grand juror is that be should be a man of good moral obaracier and of sound judgment and under standing. and whenever a man is found upon tbe grand jury who does not possess these necessary ualifioations it is the fault of the ary Commissioner, A man or good moral obaraoter and of sound judgment is a first- class man, and it is the privilege and duty of the Jury Commissionei to draw snob men to form tbe grand j ury of your county. I know that the practice of great carelessness has grown up in our State in this regard on tbe part of tbe J ury <Jo“' miasiouers. It ia of tbe highest im- portauoe that tbe grand jurors, who have the general supervision of ^Bounty affairs, and the petit jurors, who sit lu judgment upon tbe life, liberty end property of citizens should be men of good moral char acter and sound judgment and un- der&tandiug, and tbe Jury Commis sioner fails in the conception of bis duty if such men soif are not round upon the juries You, Mr. Foreman, and Gentle- men are the general guardians of the public welfaia. Every officer from the presiding Judge who vis its you at stated periods to tbe hum Meet constable of tbe humblest Trial Justice In your county are all under year supervision, and it is your duty to see that each perform his duties faitbfhiiy. Ia many respects the office of pub- lie iatormer ia an odious one. You have very lit tic respect for a man who officiously intermeddles with the alelra of his neighbors. Ton don’t like tbat class ot people who Inform eu offenders ef the law just for the sake of getting half of tbe reward of eonvictioo; therefore, I dare say, many u grand juror fails to bring eases before the court be cause he does not like tbe reputa tion of being n meddler. But you are hound by your oaths that you >*will diligently inquire aad tree presentment make of nil such mat- torn as come to your attention, 4 ’ re specting the pubUe peace and wel fare. xou get ne reward upon con viction and therefore yonr action is relieved from the saspicioo of mer canary motive. A great many matters witl come fio your attention through bills of todietmeut which will bs handed to you by tbe Solicitor. A bill of ia- dtotmeot is nothing more than a saesioct statement of a srimo that has been committed or sop# duty loft unperformed. But your duties an not limited to passing on * “ These indictments be found to comprise i^pred. All five, but crimes tost corns jto you tout ia the shape of these in aoumsof .dividual is arson bunglary and larceny, rape, tn&licioas injury to personal prop erty, sqd violation of contracts. All that olass of crimes afiects an indi vidnal directly. Alter a horse is stolen it belongs to somebody; if arson is committed or a contract violated it affects an individual. In tbat class of crimes yon may rely with great oonfidenoa npon the as surance that the person injared will go to tbe nearest Trial Justice, have a warrant issned and the offending party apprehended and bronght be fore the proper tribunal for trial. So you need not give yourselves any sort of concern abont that olass of oritnes, if they fall within the jurisdiction of this coart yoa will puss npon them in the shape of in dictments. Bat there is another class of crimes, snd, Mr. Foreman, it is a larger class than st first biash yoa would suppose, which does not af fect one individual more than an other, bnt,affeot tbe welfare order, peace and prosperity of the ooaoty st large. To this class belong va grancy, retailing spiritnoas liquors without license and carrying con oealed weapons These yon ob serve do not affect one individnal more than another, and you might as an individnal say (( it is not my business to report this, I am not a a public informer, a busy-body, an intermeddler in my neighbors, af fairs; it is not my bosiness and I’ll not do it." Therefore it being every body’s business it is nobody’s busi ness, and this large class of offend ers wonld go unwbipped of justice if tbe law did not make it tbe doty of tbe grand jury to report them. It is yonr business, the law requires this duty at yonr hands and you can do it without any odium attaching to its performanoe. Now we come to the orime of va grancy. Who is a vagrant T The law says be is one who lives with- oat any visible means ot support. In other words be is a mao that lives upon the frdtts of yonr honest toil. He doeso’t work aod yet he lives. You don’t find him lying in yonr pnblic highways dead from starvation. He lives and bow does he live T He lives npon the sweet of your face While you, after the toils of the day, are in yonr homes, perchance asleep, he, like the beast of prey tbat he is, is prowling about appropriating to his own enjoy ment tbe fruits of your thrift. He is violating tbe statute law and the Divine Law which says, “by the sweat of thy faoe shall tbou eat bread,” What more prolific source of crime than idleness f It is said that “an idle brain is the devil’s woiksbop.” It is better that you cut short this crop of vagrants be fore it ripens with graver crimes. His Honor then reviewed the law prohibiting the carrying ot conceal ed weapons, and allowed that it was a wholesome one. The convenient pistol he showed subserved no use ful purpose, and was nothing more nor less than a life-destroyer, that it was useless as a fowling piece, could not be used for any agi i cultural or mechanical purpose and that tbe practice of carrying con oealed weapons coaid only be con strued into a purpose to take bu man life. In relerence to this law he said if a law is a good one it ought to be enforced, if a bad one it ought to be enfcrced so that when it is seen tbqt it is not a good law it will be repealed. Of the public officers of the coun ty, His Honor said: “As 1 have said, tbe grand jnry have general super? siou of ail the public offices in tbe county. Tbe presumption now is tbat all the public officers are faithful in the discharge of their dutiea. This was not always so. You remember tbe time when tbe presumption was tbat tbe officers wepBOOt faithful. Tbat state of ibiugs is happily changed, and un- esa you hear some complaint yon not now go into an examina tion. Let them rest uuder tbe pre sumption that they are all doing uhejr duty faithfully.” In regard to tbe care of tbe poor, His Honor said: ‘’Ido not know what provisions you hare made for tbe poor is this county. It nay be you farm them out or keep them in • poor house. However tbe ease nay be you cannot e*3ape as a grand jnry tbe responsibility ef see- i ug fbe poor properly provided for. It is e groat misfortune to be poor, but U is no erime. Bat from whet 1 know of toe condition of the poor id many of tbe counties of tbe State, if it were not for the die- graoe which attaches to crime, I would as aeon see a friend of mine go to the State penitentiary as to poor bouse. Their condition may have been brought about by their improvidence or by tbe finger of God, bat to whatever cease their condition ia due, their misfortunes call for your sympathies aod tfioir helplessness demands that provi sion be mad* tor thair ueeessitios. You shoula not have such an at tractive poor bouse that people will throw down the implements nf toil and dock there to he supported; but the noor ought to he weB doth- adL well fed, well doctored and (to e^tlybortod- They deserve that auy of us get, to be well cloth d, well fed, well doctored and decent ly bnried. I don’t care if yon are worth a million of dollars that is all yon will get oat of life, so far as tbe oom forts ef tbe body is concerned. It is the doty of a civilised Chris tian community to look closely af ter the condition of their poor, and I dare say yon pay no part of yonr taxes more cbeerfnlly than tbat por tion which will be used in provid ing for tbe poor of your county. ‘‘There is a class of officers, Mr. Foreman, who have been tbe sub ject of a great deal of criticism—in some instances just and, in many instances nnjnst criticism. I refer to Trial Justices. Perhaps this office is one of tbe most important in the county. These are the ofif- cers with whom yon have to deal constantly. It is only once in four months yon have to deal with this court, but tbe Trial Justice you have with yon always. They are in yonr neighborhood, in yonr town ship. Wbat sort of a Trial Juatioe have yon got f Trial Justices are like other people, there are some good ones and some bad ones. There are persons in that office ca pable of bolding higher positions, faithful, trae, intelligent men. Tbe oommnnity that has that sort of a Trial Justice is very mneb to be congratulated. If be is a frithtal officer be does not foment disoort and quarrels between neighbors, b# represses ar d settles all that be can. He is a peacemaker, and blessed is a oommnnity tbat has such a peace maker in it. Tbe law requires tbat Trial Justices should every forty days report to tbe County Auditor and turn over into the biiuds of tbe County Treasurer all the fines col lected during tbe preceding forty days. They are required to pro- dace their books at eaub term of court tor yonr inspection. A good Trial Justice will not object to do ing this, a bad Trial Juatije should be made to do it,” Hia Honor then reviewed the bills of indictment which bad just been ottered by tbe Solieitor, explaining to tbe grand jury the nature of the crime charged in each. tbe nitrates—the bare soil let it go. Bat this is not all Tbe frequent plowing and stirring of the soil en courages tbe formation of nitrates —the insoluble, inert forms of ni trogen in tbe soil, are thereby changed into soluble nitrates. Hence in autumn tbe soils of our cotton fields are comparatively rich in nitrates, and aontiune so nutil tbe winter rein leaches them out. A notion field is not only, therefore, most liable to washing, but most exposed also to greatest leaching. Above other fields it needs tbe pro tection of a growing orop through tbe winter and early spring. It is not too late yet to give it (his pro tection. Sow rye now, and con tinue to sow, if need be, till tbe first of December Sow Southern raised or home seed—that from the northwest will not give satisfactory results. Bven if a field js intended for corn tbe next year, sow it in rye and taro it under next spring Far mers think it right to sow and plow in peaa for enriebing land in sum- •j let them try tbe same thing with rye in winter. It will cost no more, and probably do more good. Peas increase tbe supply of availa ble nitrogen in the noil; rye will hold tbat already preaeot and pre vent its loss. Fields covered with winter grasses are neither washed nor leached—they increase in fertil sty. Let as bring our summer cal- tivated lands as nearly as posaibta into the same condition by clothing them iu winter with a green. ■_ j- a-M—vew . - ■ i Ocean on tbe west to the Valley of tbe Nile on the east.

They are valuable as soiling crops iu ear ly spring; barley richer and more relished by stock, rye hardier and better adapted to poor land. Where there ia more rye than can be fed iu ita green state, it js cat sod cur ed as bay, provided it ia cat before the heads are out. It becomes woody and and bard soon after the heads form, and is then of little value. Barley may be allowed to ripen, and be harvested aud fed like oats. There is a general impression that the beard is in the way of doing this, bat a gentleman recently informed us that be baa fed barley in tbe sheaf to his horses lor twenty years without injury; tbat sometimes the beards collect be tween the li|» aud jaws, but are easily removed by thp finger, aud the animal suffers uo special iuoou- veuieuue. We are also reliably iu- formed that uutbreshed barley is quite oommouly fed to horses in Califoruia. Where one has pretty good laud, therefore, barley might be sown as a substitute for fall oats iu localities where the latter is very liable to be winter killed, Bat onr special object in calling ttentiou to these cro|>s is to pre sent their claims as means for pre serving the fertility of soils. In tbe first place, a very large portion of onr lanffs are left bare through tbe winter, with nothiog to protect them from being washed away by tbe he*tvy rains of that season. A growing crop, especially one with numerous roots, tends to hold the soil firmly. For this reason alone, were there oo other, it would pay a farmer to sow from a half bushel to three pecks of rye per acre in his cotton fields at the last ploughing of the crop. Tbe rye, after having done its work of bolding tbe soil, might be graced, or put iu spring tor soiling purposes, or might be plowed uuder to enrich tbe soil. Bat there is another very impor tant work which a green, growing crop baa to perform, which is not generally or folly appreciated. It ia a great anti-leacher: it prevents the washing out of toe available nitrogen in tbe soil by rain water. The ultimate form which nitrogen assumes in the soil is nitric acid {aqua fortis) and is found in com bination with fotosh, soda, lime, etc., forming salts known as nitrates. Now all nitrates are soluble iu water, and besides sre not held by rocks as phosphoric acid aod potash are. The nitrates are very easily The Biggest Things.

It was the first wedding. The groom was “new,” so was tbe bride, and tbe Congregational clergyman had committed matrimony only in his imagination. Finally, however it was all over; the twain was one flesh and tbe little wile was weep ing iu the arms of the mother. The groom slipped up to the m-rvuns minister, and as that gentleman was about to pass out into the night pressed a coin into his hand, “A twenty dollar gold piece,” thought the young preacher, ills heart beat faster now tbuu when he was t fijciatiug at the wedding. He needed the money so mpeh. Indeed he often u ished his meagre salary was only half its size, lie bail such a difficulty iu collecting it. And now to receive $20 al) at once. Whv it —. Then it occurred to him that it was customary for the minister to make tbe bride a present of his first marriage fee, The good man sighed as be remeved his thin over coat and returned to the room where the guests were offering their oongratulatious to the newly wed ded couple. “1 forgot something,” said he as he-approached the bride. “This is the first marriage fee that I have ever received. It is yours It should be kept sea reminder of this occasion,” Tbe young bride stretched out her hand aud the coin laug as it touched her marriage ring, The guests looked up; the uncouscious wife did not close her hand upon tbe fifty cent piece that lay there and all saw it. The minister was glad it was his first marriage, the guests tried to appear as if they did not see the half dollar and tbe re porter quietly smiled aud thought perhaps tbe young husband was saving up to buy the divorce.
