' by United States Commissioner;
Jas S Verner to await trial in
the Federal courts for attempting
to use the mails for fraudu- j

In the want columns of both

advertisement:
'WANTED?Three girls to

stamped envelope for reply.
Address Pedro, care (the paper
in which the ad appeared)."
A male subscriber residing
in Kingstree having called
attention to the suspicious
nature of the ad, the matter was
i^reported to Postoffice Inspector
Bc-regory, and a woman was
JVbrought here from another State
to lure the advertiser into the '
hands of the officers. When

Mr Gregory and an assistant
were concealed in an adjoining
room, and after waiting until
they had secured evidence v! the
man's criminal intent, they p*ac
ed him under arrest. He made
a partial confession.
It is believed that Bristow
was the agent of a gang engagtdinthe
"white slave traffic.''
A number of girls, some of them
living in this city, had answered
his advertisements.
Credit for a large part of the
hard work in the capture of
Bristow is due to Mr Jno T
Meehan, of The State, a newsgatherer
who has more than
once shown considerable detective
ability.?Columbia Record.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
County of Williamsburg.
To His Honor, Charles G
Dantzler, Presiding Judge:
We, the grand jury, beg to
make this our final presentment.
We have made a careful examination
of all the bills handed
us by the solicitor and returned
to this court our findings
thereupon.
We examined the county jail;
and find it in good condition, \
cleanly and neatly kept. It was I
called to our attention that
there are several large leaks in
the roof of the jail building.
These leaks are still in bad condition,
although repeated attempts
have been make to re
pair them. We learn that the
roofing is not of a very durable
nature and therefore recommend
that the building be reroofed
at once with first class
roofing material.
A never ending source of petition
and report is the deplorable
condition of the public highways
of the county. We have
lately received a complaint
signed by fifty or more reputa
ble citizens as to the condition
of the highway leading across
Padding swamp to the effect
that the crossing is impassable
at high water and dangerous at
all times. This is a single instance
of a common complaint
and we earnestly recommend
that the county supervisor take
immediate steps toward the improvement
of the public highways,
since we are advised that
there is on hand a large fund to
be used to this end that is now
lying in idleness while the traveling
public is suffering in consequence
of its non-expenditure.
It has been brought to our attention
that the law relative to
the buying of seed cotton has
been grossly violated during
the past season in a number of
instances by the failure to pay
the license of fifty dollars as
required by law. We recommend
that members of the
grand jury and all magistrates
and constables be instructed to
taVe care that this law is not
violated in their respective jurisdictions
and that they be required
to report all cases of
such violation coming under
w/v4.:/%a
LllCll UUUCC.
We beg to call your honor's
attention to the fact that the recommendation
of the grand jury
at September, 1907, or last term
of court as to the cementing of
the floors of the offices of the
clerk of court and the auditor so
as to make these offices fire
proof has not been acted upon.
We think that this recommendation
should be carried out
and again urge that immediate

A committee composed of W

McOutchen was to make
a recess examination of the
county offices and report .their
findings at a subsequent session
of this court.
We desire to thank your honor
foi the able and thorough instruction
as to our duties and
the solicitor for the aid he kindly
gave us in executing them.
Respectfully submitted,
Hugh McCutchen,
Foreman.

A party of congenial spirits
boarded the "Mercedes" Tuesday
morning for a trip down
the Wee Nee to Georgetown.
The passage will be made in a
leisurely way and a very'pleasant
voyage is anticipated. There
will be frequent stops at accesible
points and a plenty of fish
is assured to supplement the
regular menu of the^Mercedes."
Barring accidents, it is expectthat
the trip will not consume
more than one day: The following
is the crew and passenger
list; Capt. C (Jonstine, 1st Mate
D J Epps, Engineer, J D Gilland;
Stewart J P Scott; Purser, J H
Scott; Surgeon, C D Jacobs; Pilot,
E A Watts: Cook, Warren
Johnson; 2nd Mate, W S Gilland;

After proceeding some six
ty mjles down the river the
"Mercedes" found the stream
blocked by the Atlantic Coast
Lumber Cos railroad bridge.
The Company furnished the boys
an engine and the journey was
finished by rail.

| J B Knight, private secretary a
I to Senator Tillman, and Misses g
Luna and Sal lie May Tillman, o
j the senator's daughters, left to- h
night for Trenton. The Senator w
is no worse, but having announc- n
ed that he would not return tl
this session but in obedience to *
the physician's advice would a
take a complete rest, it was de- ft
cided that they would go home
at once. o
Miss Sallie Mav's dans have 2i
also been changed. Instead of b
remaining here in the convent e
she too returns to her home. y
James M Baker, a close friend b
of Senator Tillman, one of the e
senate librarians who lives at a
Lowndesville,in Abbeville coun- s
ty, returned to Washington this a
morning, having spent a day at e
Trenton on his way back from a
weeks vacation at Lowndes- fi
ville. He states that Senator
Tillman will go to a sanitarium e
or to some quiet health resort ti
as soon as he is able to leave S
home. r
In the early summer the sena- e
tor and Mrs Tillman alone will o
, go to Europe and stay until
time for congress to meet next t
December. This plan elimin- a
ates Senator Tillman from poli- c
. tics this summer, either local or ii
i national. He will make no campaign
speeches, will deliver no n
lectures and while in Europe he ^
' expects to do absolutely no t

lvaded our town and claimed
is victim. Yesterday morning
bout 7 o'clock Mr M S Montomery
was stricken down with*
ut an instant's warning. He
ad been ill for many weeks
rith grip and his system was
iuch enfeebled, bnt it was
bought that he was well on the
ray to recovery. The immedite
cause of his death was heart
lilure.
Mr Montgomery was one of
ur county's best known citi*
ens, having lived in Williams*
urg all his life. He has residd
in Kingstree for a number of
ears and was highly esteemed
y every one. He was a ruling
lder in the Presbyterian church
nd up to last year, when he reigned,
had been for a long time
member of the board of trustes
of the graded school.
At the time of his death he was
fty-nine years old.
He is survived by his wife and
igfht children, also three sisers
and one brother, viz: Mrs
I Montgomery. Mrs S L Lifage,
Mrs J A Burgess of Clarndon
and Mr J A Montgomery
f Clarendon.
The funeral services will be
leld this CThursdav) afternoon
N ^ ,
13 o'clock in the Presbyterian
hurch, Rev E E Ervin conductig
the services.
Mr Montgomery was a man of
aodest demeanor and strict inegrity.
He was beloved by
hose who best knew him and it
5 doubtful if he had an enemy
n the world.
We extend our tenderest sym>athy
to the afflicted family.
