Mi JURY PHIll!.
A LONG ARRAY OF FACTS
i FOR READING.
Recommendations Made in Feb- >
ruary Said to Have
Been Ignored.
The grand jury beg leave to subi
mit the following report of 'heifi
; proceedings during their sitting !
at this term. We have acted
upon all the bills presented for
our consideration returning thej
same to the court with 4,true bills" \
or *4no bills" as in our best judg- (
menl we felt warranted in doing, j
tYhile the number of bills given i
Out to us by the prosecuting offi- J
leer tor the State is in excess of |
! those at our last term and a most!
henious and diabolical murder has j
been committed in our county,
land the p'erpatrators have escaped i
arrest, yet from the small number j
joi cases Drought up lor trial \var!
rants us in congratulating our
Citizens upon their law abiding
endencies.
Some matters pertaining to pn-|
vale rights and official conduct!
i
have been brought to our attention,
and such as we deemed
worthy to be brought to the attention
of the court, we herewith '
I
present. One D. W. Lewellen,!
a citizen of this county, says that |
in July, 1896, he was indicted and ;
tried for a criminal offence against j
the State in court of Magistrate J
S. W. James; that he was found;
! guilty, and that the said magistrate
i James imposed a line of $10 and
| costs amounted to $10, making in 1
| all that he paid the magistrate i
$20. The said Lewellen claims
: 1 hat the cost was never turned
| into the treasury as is commanded
I by the law. Upon examining the
treasurers books we find that the ;
magistrate is credited on Jan. 27,
I
1S97, with $10, a fine imposed on !
said D. W. Lewellen but no credit:
for costs. If Air. James has vio- j
luted the law in withholding the:
costs in this case, we would rec- '
! ommend that proper proceedings
be instituted against Air James.
In our last report to the court!
at the February term, we made!
recommendations tor the irame-1
diate repair of the jail, as such'
i repairs were sorely needed in ^
order to preserve the building.;
: We tind that nothing whatever
! Las been done up to this time. We
find on our visit to the jail at this
term that in addition to the
repairs needed and befoie rec
ommended that the water-closets
| in the cells are so constructed as
not to be able to carry off the
secretions properly, and that a
very offensive odor is constantly
present, which we consider detri
mental to the health of the pris
oners, the jailer, his family and
the town generallj'. We recommend
that the county supervisor
.take immediate steps to have the
*
I
a?m mi ???????????wrma
present closet removed. an<l one
substituted that will mnedythe
evil complained of.
We also recommended in our
I February presentment that our
i county officials disburse public
charity to paupers at tlie poor
farm, and there only. No attention
seems to have been paid to,
this recommendation, and in ad
jdition to paying out several lum-i
[dred dollars, as we are informed,!
j for a person lo take charge and
! run I he poor farm, orders ate
being given out to merchants in
I various parts of the countv lo
! furnish paupers in their sections.
This kind of dis! ibuting charity
; seems to us to be very unwise,
I detrimental to the best interest of
county, but as our recommenda!
tions go unheeded it would seem
i to he only a waste of time to make ,
; them. \\ e would also recommend
J now that the county supervisorj
| be instructed if it is lawful for the
! court so to do to furnish each!
I township supervisor wilhasufijj
jcient number of tools suitable fori
working the public roads, he
holding said township supervisors,
personally responsible for all such
tools. And the said tools shall
not be used for any other purpose I
than on the public roads, and!
|
further, that each township super- j
visor be required to have every j
public road in his township laid j i
out to the full width allowed byi
law. These recommendations'
force Themselves upon us as the,
best means of securing better roads
\
in the place of many that ar-" now
very miserable ones.
Owing to the very busy season
of the year with our farmers, and
the most if not all of the grand
jury being farmers we, have not ]
yet given the public officers our j
attention but will do so between 11
this and the convening of the |
Fall term, and in order that we j
may be able to make a full and j
complete investigation of the working
of our various offices. We desire
your Honor to grant leave to
oor foreman to appoint an expert!
to assist us. We desire in closing!1
this report to return our thanks 1
to your Honor for vonr lucid and
instructivechargetherebyenabling |
us to more fully comprehend the
scope of duty imposed us as Grand
Jutors and to all the officers and!
attaches of >he court for uniform j
courtesy and kindness.
Respectfully submitted,
Edwin Harper,
Foreman.

Just as the vulture, the scavenger
of the anim:l kingdom, and
not the nobler beasts of the fielJ
found pleasure in the distress of
Prometheus when he lay bound to
the rock, in the same way do
human sea venders attack the dis
tressed p-rts and eat away the
vitals of society. The pure mind- i
ed and more able thinking dislike,
the probagation of slandwr and ,
destruction, but admire the con
struction and advancement of
that which is profitable and good.
It is through this class that the
. . . .
honest cash values given by he
sesne & Epps became known to!
the public. It is known that it' |

band, a pair of traces, hanies, cotton
hoes or almost anything in the
agricultural line it can be had of'j
Lesesne & Epps as cheaply as it
can be bought anywhere in this<
country, l he Ingest, best and
cheapest line of tobaccos ever
: brought to this n arket is now be
ing offered by them. They also
carry a large line of sb es and if
von an be suited in style the price
will not be questioned. Their present
bargains in coffee beat any-'

The health of this community

d?>ing well at all. The bill-hugs

with the young plants. Cotton

been woiked vervi nicely, but
others have not been worked at
all and are in very bad condition.
The leading topic of conversations
now among the Confederate
veterans is the pension law.
Some are quarreling because they
get no pensions and others are
tkkicking" at the small amounts
received by themselves. For my
part. 1 think that there is injustice
in the administration of the
law, for some worthy individuals
are not permitted to draw a pen
sion at all,while others who never
tired a gun get a right neat little
sum every month, flow'ever, we
had best let the makers of the
law look out for that as the blame

Be cautious in speech, hut

Preventron is belter than cure,

Every time a man looks thought
ful as long as two minutes at a
time, his ile begins to wonder
what is on his conscience.
The inventor of the thermometer
is said to have intended it as
a clreck on the weather recollections
of the oldest inhabitants;
and he wept when he saw that it
didn't work.
It is to be feared that there are
many otherwise enlightened people
in this country who labor under
the impression that all a

and shake hands.
