Looks Like Persecution.
Senator B R Tillman has gained a
sort of fame as a politician, or near
statesman, 1 >ut in his latter days he
he has done much to offset whatever
good achievements he might
lay claim to as flattering unction to
his soul. One of the things that has
caused the Senator a great deal of
criticism is his insensate persecution
!I of his son's wife, Mrs Lucy Dugas
Tillman,who, for good and sufficient
reasons, it appears, is separated
from her husband. In a notable
hearing before the State supreme
court, Mrs Tillman was given the
custody of her two little girls and it
was thought that the incident had
closed. But foxy old Ben had just
begun. He had a whole sleeveful of
trick cards in reserve and l>egan
pulling them out, one by one.
His next move was to try to get
possession of the children a part of
vnarornl snnip iinfwvoiintablft
HIV VUI W?IV? ?V? V? -
reason the court granted his demand.
Now Senator Tillman coolly
asks the supreme court to take
the two little girls entirely away
from their mother, who has supported
and cared for them since
they were born, and give them to
him and his wife, their grand parents,?their
father being in Alaska
for an indefinite sojourn.
EThe hounding of young Mrs Tillman
seems to have become an ol>session
with Senator Tillman and the
most charitable view to hike of his
vagaries is that his once master mind
is sauiy iamng.
t'oming to the final analysis, the |
real cotton problem can l>e solved |
only by the cotton planter himself,
and that is why we hate to see all;
this good money thrown away on
the extra Legislative session.

We give for what it is worth our
clipping from the Atlanta Constitution
as to "hog cholera treatment."
This is a subject that we have Wen
interested in for many years andj
this time we thought we had a!
remedy of some value, till we J
noticed the last sentence: "If, as is
not expected, the hog recovers, it is
liable to suffer paralysis, etc." After
going to so much trouble to cure
him, this sounds somewhat dis-i
couraging, doesn't it? Meantime,
if any of our readers knows a remedy
or preventive of hog cholera we
should be very pleased to publish it
for the benefit of others.

Grand Jury Presentment. !
To the Honorable H F Rice, Presid- j
ing Judge, Fall Term, Court of
General Sessions, Williamsburg;
County:
' We, the Grand Jury of Williams-!
i
burg county, do hereby respectfully,J
beg leave to submit this our final i'
report and presentment. With the j
assistance of your Honor's clear, I
concise and able instructions on the !
I
questions of law, we have, to the
best of our ability and judgment,
handled all bills presented by the
Solicitor, true bills having been by
us returned in all cases, with one
exception.
It has been brought to our attention
that one of the prisoners, Ernest
Williams, tried and convicted at this
term of the court, has recently been
severely and inhumanly whipped by
.Tnilnr From the information
received by us, we are firmly of the
opinion that the very severe punishment
inflicted on this prisoner was
without justification. We understand
that the punishment referred
to above was inflicted upon this
prisoner with a buggy trace, and in
such a manner as to leave him in a
very bad physical condition. While
deploring the occurrence of such an
i event in our jail, we respectfully
request your Honor to admonish the
Jailor and Sheriff against the use of
such similar treatment to prisoners,
and upon the recurrence of such
severe and unusual punishment, we
recommend that the Sheriff replace
the present Jailor with some other
; person from whom prisoners under
his charge will be accorded more
I humane treatment.
We have also been definitely informed
that a similar case of whipping
has recently taken place on the
county chaingang, the prisoner in
this last mentioned instance being
d severely whipped that he was in!
capacitated for work for three
weeks. We positively recommend
the immediate cessation of such
treatment to prisoners of this county,
and upon the disregard of this
admonition, we recommend that, in
the proper cases, the Solicitor prepare
and submit to us his indictments
against these officers.
At the last term of this court, a
special cammittee of this grand
jury was appointed to examine the
county offices and make its report
at this term of the court. Under
the authority of this appointment,
; the committee retained the services
1 of an expert accountant, Mr Louis
; A Searson, of the Comptroller Geni
eral's office, and had made a com
I plete audit of the books in all offices,
including the Magistrate's and Constables'.
The audits of Mr Louis A
Searson, expert accountant, are
herewith presented to your Honor,
as a part of this report, and identified
as Exhibits "A" and "B". This
special committee was particularly
instructed to investigate a certain
irregularity alleged to have existed
in the office of the County Treasurer,
charging this officer with having
collected interest on the county
funds, and transferring the same to
his personal account. The report
from this special committee, marked
Exhibit "C", having been adopted
by this grand jury as the report of
this body, and herewith attached as
i a part of our report, estaonsnes con|
clusively that the charges preferred
against the County Treasurer were
well founded, and are supported by
1 the evidence returned to this grand
jury by the special committee. We
respectfully request that the report
of the special committee, Exhibit
"C", be presented to your Honor,
and also the report of Mr Louis A
Season, expert accountant, marked
Exhibit "A". It appears that the
County Treasurer had, from time to
time, collected certain interest on
the county funds from the Bank of
Williamsburg, and had transferred
the same to his personal account,
the county being deprived of the
use of these funds fur several years,
and until it was re-transferred by
the County Treasurer from his personal
account to his official account,

LEGISLATURE MET TUESDAY
In Extraordinary Session?Some
Measures Proposed.
Columbia, October 6:?The extraordinary
session of the General Assembly
met today responsive to the
call of Governor Blease.
It is evident that the purpose is ?
to consider only such legislation as
is imperative or is related to the
the present excepiional conditions
borught about by the European war.
It was determined to clear the
Legislative decks of all left over bills
and start afresh with such bills as
are related to the present emergency.
A motion to limit the pay of mem..
.. i
bers to ten days was practically
killed.
A dozen bills were presented, all
relating to the reduction of acreage,
the extension of time for the payment
of the taxes due this fall,
a proposition to extend the time
for mortgages that may be due,
authority to borrow money with
which to operate the State, a commission
to confer with other cottongrowing
States and a warehouse bill.
Mr Summers proposed a bill looking
to the reduction of the rate of interest.
Mr Fortner has again proposed
his bill relative to white teachers in
a.: !il __1 i 1 l i
connection witn coiorea scnoois ana
a passenger rate reduction bill.
in June of this year, and after the
charge against him for his conduct
in this respect had been presented
to this jury. Whilst we regret exceedingly
that it is our duty to pass
upon such grave charges presented
against an officer of this county, we
beg to recommend that such action
be taken by this court in the case in
question as may seem proper under
the facts presented, and that, in the
meantime, the County Treasurer be
admonished to so conduct the affairs
of his office as to avoid the recurrence
of similar criticism and
charges, his attention being especially
directed to Section 451, Vol I,
Code of Laws for b C, 1912.
Mr Louis A Searson, expert accountant,
charges the County Commissioner
with the use of an improper
system of book-keeping, and
with the neglect on the part of this
officer to properly use the books
prepared for his office. We recommend
that this report from expert
accountant, Louis A Searson, be directed
to the personal attention of
the County Commissioner, and that
his office and books in the future be
conducted and maintained in accordance
with the suggestions pointed
out by Mr Searson.
nr. - _i i x- i. ii.i -11
we are pieaseu to report tnat an
other county offices are found in
good condition, with books properly
kept; and all public funds duly accounted
for, the County Auditor being
especially commended in the report
of Mr Searson for his general
knowledge of, and his apparent interest
in, all matters pertaining to
the county records and finances.
At the previous presentment by
the grand jury of this county, a
recommendation was made that a
bill of indictment be prepared by
the Solicitor against one James
Cooper, charging him with the violation
of the dispensary law, this
party having been twice convicted
in the municipal court of Kingstree,
and having, in each instance, discharged
himself by payment of the
fines imnosed: and we have been re
liably informed that he is still engaged
in the illicit traffic of intoxicating
liquors. We again recommend
that this party be presented
to the grand jury of the county under
the charge indicated above, and
would be pleased to know why the
recommendation heretofore made by
this body has been disregarded.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Foreman of the Grand Jury.

A Delightful Symposium.
Special to The County Record.
Lake City, October 5:?One of the
most delightful social events of the
season was the October meeting of the
'"Kill Kare Klub" held Friday evening
in the Truluck auditorium, the
i?J.

A H Williams and J M Truluck
and Miss Eva North. Despite
the inclement weather the members
of the club and their invited guests
were in evidence by a large majority.
The spacious auditorium was
artistically decorated for the evening
with ferns, golden and yellow
daisies,carrying out the color scheme
most effectively. Mrs L 0 Holloway
received the guests at the cloakroom
door and ushered them to the
hostesses, each guest being present*

hearts, by Misses Eleida Fulmorel
and Leone Williams who informed
them that they were to be used in
the contest of the evening, which
was a "Yes and No contest." The
guests were then directed to one of
the box seats of the auditorium,
which had been transformed into a
veritable bower of ferns and goldenrod,
Misses Askins and Green dispensing
pale amber nectar to each
under this bower.
An amusing play entitled, "Reasons
Why We Have Never Married",
and "Selections from Sousa's Band",
was presented by youthful amateurs,
seven "bachelors" and seven
"old maids", which was thoroughly
enjoyed by the guests. The guests |
further added to the merriment of!
the occasion by impromptu vocal
selections.
At the conclusion of this feature,
the hostesses, assisted by the actors!
and actresses, decided to award the
guests with a salad course, followed
by coffee. L N.
