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.

of such a theme, and feeling that a diversion

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

flying tn all directions, large pieces falling ::i

Yesterday we had regalar monthly services
at Rembert Chorch ; and jost here let me
add a little 6ermon. 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,

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. .
