Abbeville, October 20:?Mrs A S
Thomas, wife of the superintendent
of the Abbeville Cotton mills, com0,
mitted suicide in her home here today.
Particulars of the affair are
rather meaner.
These are the bare facts: This
morning Mr Thomas and his wife
rode out of town for an hour or so
in their car, then returned. The
husband, going to his duties at the
mill, and the wife and their child
and nurse returning home. Shortly
after entering the house Mrs Thomas
took up a pistol, and placing it to j

heart, dying instantly.
Mr Thomas was called from the
mill and immediately summoned i
physicians, but nothing could be;
done, as she was already dead.
As far as has developed there
were no witnesses to the tragedy.!
All that is known is that she shot!
herself. The community sympa- j
thizes with Mr Thomas in his trou- i
ble, and is shocked at the sad trage-!

Editor County Record:
Doubtless many of your readers
will be interested in our thirteen-day
hike. October 1 the entire tenth division,
composed of the South Carolina,
Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts
and Michigan regiments, a total of
about 22,000 officers and men. started
off. The first day we carried nothing
but our fighting packs and rifles
and traveled about twelve miles.
We reached our camp ground about
4 o'clock,tired and dusty. After we
- - - * -1 I A. i_ _
had pitched our tents we an iook a
dip in the Rio Grande, not faraway.
Next day the trip was short but
hard. Each had to carry a roll,consisting
of one blanket, a sheet, half
tent,one poncho,a suit of underwear
and an entrenching tool, with rifle
and side arms. Only a few had blistered
feet after reaching the second
camp ground.
The third day's march was about
fifteen miles. The sun was hot and
the boys began to think the third
camp ground was unreachable, but
they stuck to it and got there. We
rested up a day, and those with sore
feet were treated, that they might
be ready for the march next day.
Late that afternoon the company

headquarters, where Col Springs and
Lieut-Col Allison made them feel
good. They told us that they could
find no fault in us, and Col Springs
said in his eighteen years of service
he had seen no regulars drill better
than we. He also told us to be saving
with water, which is very scarce
there. It was shipped in oil cars
from El Paso each day, and we had
only about one quart to use during
the march. The fifth day we marched
into LasCruces, N M. The third
battalion of South Carolina was the
advance provost guard. Just as soon
as we reached there we were put on

duty. The boys behaved themselves
well; only a few were arrested.
After staying there four days we
started our journey back to Camp
Stewart in the rain. It took five
days to go and four to return. The
weather was fine going, but we had
rain while returning. The last day
we made over twenty miles, and not
a man dropped out. Co I made the
entire march of 120 miles without
losing a man. Some were crippled J
and lame, but they made it just the j

Presentment of the Grand Jury.
We, the Grand Jury of Williamsburg
county, having completed all
business and having passed upon all
bills that have come before us at
this, the last term of the court of [
general sessions for the year, 1916, J
do herewith make our report:
We desire to express our thanks
to his Honor, Judge George E Prince,
presiding Judge, for his courteous
treatment and for the able manner
in which he explained the law* to us j
in his charge, thereby enabling us to j
attend to all business and pass upon
all bills that'have come before us inj
an intelligent and proper manner, j
We also wish to express our appre-:
ciation of the services rendered us
by the Solicitor and the Acting-Solicitor,
Mr Hirsch, for the services
rendered by them in assisting us in
passing on the indictments that were
handed us for consideration.
We have passed on all bills that
have been presented to us; of those
which we have passed upon quite a
number were for larceny; we are
very sorry to see this, but w*e trust'
that with the efficient help of our
officials there will not be anything;
like this number at the next term of |
court.
At the summer term of court of
general sessions, we recommended
that all Magistrates and rural policemen
appear before us at this session
i of court, for the purpose of having

their books inspected by us. We
beg to report that most of the Magistrates
of the county and the rural
policemen haye presented their books
and we find them to be well kept
and apparently correct in every re
spect; however, we would recommend
that the Magistrates and the
rural policemen be provided with
and use the Magistrate's Criminal
Docket, Form One; for we believe
that their records would be kept in
much better manner by the use of
this docket.
It becomes the duty of the County
Board ofCommissioners toelect aRoad
Engineer for Willirmsburg county
for the year, 19*17, and we would
recommend that the County Board
of Commissioners, U3e every means

to secure a tnorougniy competent
and efficient man for this position.
It has been brought to our attention
that the road from Hebron
church to Holiday's mill, the road
from Hebron church to the Clarendon
county line, and the road from
Lenud's Ferry to the Broomstraw
Road, have not been permanently
worked within the past six years,
and we ask that the road engineer,
or other proper official, make a report
to the grand jury, advising as
to the reason for these roads not
having been worked for such a
length of time.
At the summer term of court, we
recommended that the walls of the
court house and jury rooms be recalcimined,
and we are very sorry to
report that we find our recommendation
has not been complied with,
and we again make this recommendation
and trust the same will be
done before the next term of court.;
All of which is respectfully submit-1
