' ra ^ -- WEDNESDAY, ffiLY 8, SSS! THE GBADJB0 SCHOOL. We observe the following in the Io? ctl correspondence of & Columbi* tm **Mr. Holler, to _ whom has been awarded the contract for the new graded school building ia expected here efery day. The ,price of the building, ns per this contract, w?l exceed consider? ably tho amount appropriated by the cit liens for this purpose, incl otc g the furnishing and fitting up of th? build? ing, architect's fees, ?to , ?od lhere are some ?bo think +\bat the school board have exceeded their aotbofity ie ibis matter." Strictly, speaking those who thick thoa maj be correct in their opinior/. Bot tao facts are that the board in? structed their architect, who is one of j tho beat known moo of that profession is the State, td prepare a plan of build? ing not to exceed #9,000 in cost. When tho plans ?ere presented to the board the a rchitect stated thai the bui l i? ing, according to his phvriS, eould be erected for a little less than $10,000, including contractor's profits, estimated at 15 per cent of the cost. Tbe mem? bers of the board not being practical builders relied on the statement cf their | architect, sod accepted his pIans. They advertised for bids io the News und] Courier, the Augusta Chronicle* the CbArlotte:;OtoTer, the Columbi* tiea is'?r and the local papers. Bids were, thoa- invited from at feast three States. Wheo opened t hej were found to range all the way fro? $9,^00 to $19,000. The lowest bid was accepted, but the bidder was usable to file the $5,000 j hood required by the board ss a condi? tion of bis receiving the contract. An? other Jud /pr a little less than ?11,000 was next* submitted and accepted by ibo Juoard, bot the same difficulty was experienced here as in the former case. The board and their architect never ceased their efforts to conclude a con t, aol, bot were con ti ona! ly engaged in the effort to discharge the frost imposed upon them by the people. At last Mr. Holler-submitted his bid, and tne board, after doe deliberation, concluded that it would be better- to dose the contract, even at a figure somewhat exceeding the amount appropriated by ?be citizens for this parp?se than to permit the large --sum of ?12,000, which has been lying >ia the savings department of our two | .banks at ao annual rate of interest of ] A per cent, ever since January^, 1891, .to remain longer unemployed, especial? ly as the interest on the bonds ja 6 per cent., a clear foss to the taxpayers of "2 per cent, annually. Tao problem confronting the board was this, to wit: Shalt we oat down the dimensions of the proposed building, which by a system of roHtog shutters in the assembly room can accommodate s?x hundred po pila, thereby bringing tbe coat cfit within the means in sight, or shalt we proceed to expend what money we haveL even if we should fall short of oompieting the building sub? mitted^ m the plans of oar architect. TEe onction to the fret alternative in that if the city" should" grow as enoch in tk$ ^sfcthree jeers as it ha? in the lastr-?iree,^ oar school aecoma?<*<la tiona would be entirely iaaofickot, and the c?tizeas would find themselves competed either to deny educational advantages] to many of. their children, or erect, an? other school building at a - ^ probably ? io equal, if not exceed, that of thc J proposed building. *. ^?7*. ". The board, conscious of the.exceed? ing sensitiveness of t Le avers ge pocket. nerve, took the liberty caf deciding - to' save the citizens, certainly for the next six or eight years, thc additional expenditure that would have been ren? dered necessary io case they had not exceeded 'nheir authority (?) in this matter,*' as some of oar citizens are said to think. The citizens have their remedy should they desire to avail them? selves of it, and the board, we are sore, wjll be very glad lo have their judgment expressed in any way they may see fit to express it. The board serve wholly without cost to tbe citizens, and are discharging their duties not becaose snob daties are easy and agreeable, bot because they have been requested so to do by the citizens in public meeting assembled. They therefore desire to act only in accordance with the expressed wishes of the people, sod if tbe people generally have been correctly represent? ed in the extract gi veo above, the board, we have no doobt, would like te know it at once, becaose Mr. Heller is expected hore this week for the purpose of con clading the contract.

SE? VIC.fi UPON JURORS. At the recent Sommer term of t Richland Court when the case of t State vs. Wade Haines waa : called f trial, a motion was made by defendan counsel before Judge T. B Fraser, pr eidiug, to quash the panel of both g rai and petit jurors, on the ground of irre umritics on the face of the Venire ai further on the ground of improper se vice, it not appearing that the summoi bad been fervid by the sheriff or b deputy, and were left at the places business, tontead of the place of abix of the jurera. Iiis Honor quashed tl panel of petit jarois, at once unt new jurore could be summoned legall to attend and try the civil cages i prescribed by the statute, ile reserve his decision in* respect to the grand jar] but has since filed hts decision quadiin that panel aUo, which is printed belo1 and io which His Honor folly etatcs th case, his reasons and the law goveruin the practice as follows : * The motion was reserved as to th ?randjurors, inasmuch as it involve the validity of the indictment whici was found at the last- term of the Court and the continuante of the grand j ur for the re&t cf the year, and a mot careful consideration might lead one t< a difiVrent opinion. 1. The teal of the Court is not ot the same pa?:e as the writ directed ti the sheriff but is ou the next page, atti is placed ou the cert ficate of the jun commissioners and o.hers whose du y i is to draw the naine* of the jurors fron the box and the p;>per shows that tin seal could not have been affixed until after thc certificate was written. It wa; not the seal to the venire and coule never have been so iuteuded though the law does not require it to be uffixed to the certificate. 2. It^doea not appear (as io the well considered form; in Miller's Compi? lation) that S. J lladcHffe. who in the return to the venire swears that he made camed in th? venire, was a depo; '"the sheriff, or indeed, that he was other than a private person having special position whatever. As I view matter the sheriff or bis deputy are oaly persons who are in law compe to serve this writ and thns attest to Conrt the identity of the person sen . and appearing, with those whose na ..have; been placed on the venire by proper* authorities. Only four of grand jurors have been personally ser by tbe sheriff and these are all i have been properly served. 3. All the others were served by si mens left at their residences or plac business, while the Act, Gen. S : at., S 2,246 requires it' to be at the plac abode, perhaps meaning the sam? residence or where a man lives v bis family, if he has one. The has allowed a service at the plac? abode as a substitute for a personal i vice, and the Court is not permittee adopt any other. Only one out of I ?iet was served by the sheriff in ont these ways, the others by Mr. Badcli None of them are valid. S o pp ot sheriff should not be pleased with list of jurors, and then turn over summons to some one who is not ei a deputy and who would go to place of business and leave domino They may never fall into the ri< hands, and . if they da there is no ol gatton to. attend and serve. The suit will be that the objectionable jar will be got rid of and tbe panel filled from the tales box-and with an. eff of the final result which every effort made in law is made to avoid. Not ma years ago these or like technicals alone saved our people from pack political juries. I do not think it n< essary to pass upon the objectic raised that the name of one man is on t panel who was then dead and one w was exempt from service, and the whi venire was for the service of said teri meaning the term commencing .March, 1891, and not for the year. How far these irregularities prodnc the effect I do not know, but a numb of additional jurors were, drawn for t March term oaly and at this term the were present only nine of the origil .panel as drawn and placed upon t venire. Now by Section 2,266, Ge Statutes, these objections can be ma at auy. time before the verdict and ev. after the verdict, if any injury has r -suited from the irregularities complai ed of. In this case I am sure there b been the utmost good faith and tl officers, the clerk and sheriff have fe lowed forms long used in this coon and, it is said, in moat of the count's of the State. The officers of the Court, howeve have no right to substitute, any practic however general or long cou tinned, f the plain provisions of the law, ac when irregularities are objected to ac -brought to the attention of - this Cou the objections must be sustained. Tl return to the venire must be made i .the clerk before tbe opening of tl .Court, (Gen ..Stat, 2 246.) and the r< turn must stand, if at all, in tho statt it then occupies. If the Court car dispense with an one of these requirements of the law, can dispense with ali of them within il discretion, and then substitute the dh cretion, of the Couirt tor the law. It is therefore ordered and adjudge that the writ of the venire for gran jurors dated Maren 2, 1891, b quashed and that ail the grand jurors included those summoned at the Jun term. 1891 be discharged front furthe attendance on the Court under the sai venire. ' T. B. FRASER. The above able opinion ought to bav been published last week, but wa crowded out.' Since then a motion wa argued before Judge Hudson, at York ville-to dismiss the jurors surntnone for that court on the ground of severa alleged- irregularities. His Honor de livered "a written opinion refusing th motion. ,lt. JKOftM seem,..at. first tba these: two distinguished jurists. enter taiued directly different views of th .law, but a careful reading of both opio ions will clearly show that the rea<oni?j "of both Judges is the same, and th only variance between them consists it "*he entirely- different state of facts ot which their-opinions were based. .., ?hort Notice. School Commissioner John T. Green di sires it stated that he received no communies i tton or 'regulations from the department t ?ducation by which he was to be governed ii the matter of tbe examination of competitor frota this county for the scholarships off.-re< by the Winthrop training school until th night before the examinations --were adver tised to be held. The fact, however, that the exarainatio would be held on third of July was adver tised since the last of May-six weeks-ii this, and also in oilier county papers of th State, and those who wuk H complaint abeu insufficient notice are themselves at fault fo not reading the ad versement. The fact tha there were six applicants at the examinatioi here is evidence that the advertisement wa read by ?onie. - I- mm Picnic at Cam's Mill. The people of*Privateer have always beet noted, among other excellencies, for thei fl^sb pots. The annual picnic given by ?ha neighborhood at Cain's Mill on the 4th o July, was no exception to the rule. Fron) al accounts it was an elegant picnic. The tabli wag loaded with good things, three barbecuec pigs, Intnhs, etc., were on the l<ill of fare aud over loo ?sh of all kinds were served ir every form io suit the taste.

RKJIBKKT, 8. C., July 6, 1891. Mr. Edilor : Wbiie I am racking my brair to find out whether it be possible for morai mao to retain his existence without pat taking of pome stimulant, I discover that my mind is becoming clouded from the contemplation of such a theme, and feeling that a diversion from t h it-- query will clear mr clouded mind, ebal! give \Our paper, (which is always look j ed for on Saturday, and which ig always re? ceived with pleasure,) a few items from ou: ueit-ht orhood On last Monday afternoon we were visited by a pretty severe storm. For a few minutes wind, bail, rain, thunder and lightning were playing havoc with things tn this Section, bul in a short while the wind storm passed over, ?nd theu the people of R-mbert were treated to an electrical display such as never was seen in tliis country before. In a radius ot about one and a half miles the ground was struck itt four places, and as to the number of trees st i uclc we would not like to state. In .' i yard of Mr. Tims. McLeod a large oak live j was struck. Ti.e bark from the tree went flying tn all directions, large pieces falling ::i the piazza of Mr. Mcleod's house, alarming the occupants very much. Cadet Dan. McLeod ?sat home from Patrick Military Iustituie, and looks much improved after bis experience under military discipline. Dr. and Mrs. Brown, of .tour city, spent a few dav s with Mr. and Mrs. R.

It certainly is a surpris? ing and deplorable fact, that a neighborhood composed of as many intelligent and refioed people as Rembert is, should sit carelessly by and only have religions services once a month, and then, apparently, not half appre? ciate that ; I say it is surprising. It could be otherwisej why not? Yours truly, T. K. A. An Invitation to liouellen. We were very much gratified to receive from our friend, Mr. John J. Neason, of Louellen, a cordial invitation to dine with bim on the 4th. We were r.Iso tempted by the promise of an unusual sight these days, to wit: Three horses of distinguished pedi? gree, the scions of a noble stock and blood, royal represent?t?ves of straight out Democ? racy, Lady Hampton, Gen. J. H. Earle and Col. Haskell. These colts have been raised by Mr. Neason himself, and reflect credit upon him and their namesakes. Mr. Neason also promised to show us 100 acres of cotton waist high and blooming since June 9th. This cotton is of the celebrated Truitt im? proved cotton seed, which Mr. Neason will advertise in the W. and 8. this winter. Mr. Neason "promised to take good care of us and we . know too well the hospitable nature of our friend to be insensible to the pleasures of a day on his model farm. We hope to hear again soon from Louellen, the cotton and the colts. MEMORIAL TRIBUTE. On Wednesday, 9th July, 1890, the gentle spirit of Anna Campbell, wife of J. Merrick Reid, joined the blessed band of friends "across the river." One year ago I and yet we still feel pain? fully the aching void,and yearn with grievous longing tor the presence of the brave, patient and helpful little wife and mother. And although the old home has been also swept away with every word and token of affection, every relic and memento of the past, yet ber sweet memory, like aroma, diffuses a gentle fragrance around the new hearthstone and keeps us from forgetting if we could. 7 sometimes think that it would be best If the hands that labor were folded o'er The silent breast in the last sweet rest, When I think of the friends who have gene before; , Who have crossed the river's rolling tide And reached the home on the other side. It seems so far to the wished for day And weary and lonely and lost I roam ; I feel like a child who has lost his way And is always longing for home sweet home A little while and the gate is past, Home and Heaven and test at last. .
