A point of law was raised her< Monday when it became time t< open the court of general sessions It was finally decided by Solicitoi Stoll and Clerk of Court Britton tc open and then adjourn the sessior until Tuesday. This was due to th< fact that Monday was Washington'; birthday, a legal holiday, and Judge I W Bowman of Orangeburg hac notified the Clerk of Court that he would, on this account, defer opening ?ourt until Tuesday. At the usual opening hour, 11:0C a. m., Judge Bowman was robed and in the s^at of justice. It is his first term as Judge on this circuit, and Re has made an impression that will be favorable to him throughout all the years that he may preside here. Upon ope ning court here Monday he admonished the grand and petit jurors in a manner that was most impressive, not only to themselves but to every law-abiding citizen in this county. In addressing the grand jury Judge Bowman made a few remarks as to the violation of the dispensary law, stating that he had no patience with this sort of practice and that if anyone came to trial for that offence and was found guilty by a jury he would impose the maximum punishment, but that if a similar offender of the law came up and confessed his guilt, he would deal with him as leniently as the law would permit. He evidently had in mind the large number of such violators that were to come before him, for it was the greatest number that has ' 1 ? T1 . ^ . been brought berore any juage 01 a general sessions court here in the past three years. And we especially regret to note that among! the offenders was a white woman. As an instance of the Judge's leniency along this line, he imposed a tine of $100 or three months on the chaingang upon Jas Cooper, an appealed case, then he suspended the rest of the sentence, provided the accused would pay a fine of $25 and promise never again to engage in the traffic. This was done at the earnest solicitation of counsel for the defense, LeRoy Lee, Esq, who made a pathetic plea in his behalf. In beginning his eloquent charge to the grand jury his Honor admonished them to make haste slowly; not to "kill time" and put extra expense upon the county; that the court's session costs the county from 50 cents to $1.00 a minute. At the same time he cautioned them not to be too hasty and unduly consider any case that came before them. "The grandest word in the English language is duty, and when it has been properly and conscientiously performed, you, gentlemen of the grand jury, have attained a high honor." Judge Bowman also cautioned this new grand jury to be diligent in every duty pertaining to the welfare of the county. He said: "We want no 'milk and water' men as grand jurors, but men who have the courage and manhood to enforce the )aw? of the State. He also instructed them to visit the jail and see that all prisoners were properly cared for; that the inmates of the county poor house were properly fed and clothed. "Gentlemen, I tell you that yor are the grand inquest of your county and that all the interests of the county are in your hands." Then in closing his address Judge Bowman, in an eloquent way, paid a high tribute to the school teachers and advised that every rural school in the county be looked after as to propei facilities.stressing the fact that chil dren are our most valuable assets and that it is the duty of the grand jurors to see that they are properly provided for. So far only five indictments have been disposed of, as follows: The State vs Derry Murray anr Ancie Nelson for arson; not guilty In this case the court appointed as attorneys for the defendants Messrs E L Hi.sch, John M Ross and J T O'Bryan. In the case of the State vs Georgt Easterling for housebreaking anc larcenv.the accused was found guilt} and a sentence of one year and nine months was imposed by the court No attorney. The State vs Willie Fulton, alias Nathaniel Epps; larceny of livestock Defendant plead guilty and was sen tenced by the court to serve 1 yeai on chaingang and pay a fine of $5.
