Presentment of the 6ra?a Jury. To the Hon. C. G. Dantzler, Presiding Jadee : The Gram* Jory, Laving at the Joly term of coot't visited and inspected several public inuitstions and build? ings* have sot visited tbem again at this term, as nothing special in regard to them have berti called to their at? tention. Tbe Cc tr ty offices have been visited, and the Grand Jury rind, ; and so present, that the County offi? cials have discharged their duties op to date in a commendable manner. In the Treasurers office, the non return cf Tas Executions delays the closing of 4*is bocks -to the lath Oct. 2904* showing the bahnce to credit of school funds and tao county super ; visor. pi But the fc?fcasrer informs the Grand Jury that there is a balance to tbe credit of th* school fund of $8,097.91, received during the year to the 15th Oct, 1904 from tbe. Dispensary fund $601, 8. 88 and ^079.03 from polls. This balaaqe and the incoming taxes to the credit bf the school fund will show a good ?na$ci&? condition. All voucbe???n the hands of the County Treasurer gowing amounts paid on accounts o?<fcunty Supervisor and the County Superintendent of Edccation.fo*he 15th of Oct. 1904 have been c&?oj^o?? by the County Anditcr, and the foreman of the Grand Jury? as the law directs, and found correct. From th? booka of the County Su? pervisores office, the following exhibit of coe sty finances is shown: To cash balance in hand, January 1st, 1904, .$$34338. f To cash received from, licenses to October 31/1904, $118.00. To cash received from costs, fines etc., to October 31, 1904, $645.63. To cash received from dispensary, to October 31, 1904, $7,620.66. To cash received from Const, road tax, to October 31, 1904, 8913.00. With the above, and money borrow- j ed from the Sinking Fund Commission and from banks, claims, fixed charges to tbe 31st. October 1904, aggregating $20,479.16, have been approved and paid. Claims (estimated) and fixed char? ges for two months to end of fiscal year December 31. 1904, including court expenses (estimated) fer Novem? ber term, $4,335.45. Total disbonements for fiscal year 1904, $24,804.61. Total receipts expected from taxa? tion fer the'fiscal year ending Decem? ber 31,1904, say 30 mills on $5,230, 505, fax value of real and personal pro? perty as appears on tax books, equals $.186,306.76. With this amount from taxation, about f? of one per cent on tax values, and expected receipts from etheje .eonrees, may enable tbe couuty to pay ont without a defi? ciency. The average disbursements for county purposes have fluctuated in the past 15 years and about as fol? lows, viz: Average disbursements 'from 1883 to 1887, $15,000. Total disbursements fiscal vear 1892 3, $23,270.70. Total disbursements fiscal vear 1S97 8 S2&?61.07. ' Total disbursements fiscal year ?902, $34,375.76. Total disbusements fiscal year, 1903, $26,628.93. Total disbursements fiscal year, 1904, $2i,804.61. The current indebtedness of the ?county veeias to be as follows, to wit: Money borrowed from State sinking . fand commission and from banks, ' 414,110 00. This amount is to be met and paid from tbe incoming taxes. The bonded debt of the county is $15,000.^06. againts which there isa credit of 86,090.00, deposited in bank as a sinking fund to liquidate the bonded debt. Also a claim of $S,600 against Lee county which is to be applied, when, collected, to the liquid? ation of the bonded debt. At the end of the fiscal year a more exact statement of the financial condition cf the connty ran be made. Above state? ment is all that can be made at the present ti.iie. The bold- over grand jurors will likely prepare a farther exhibit fer the ensuing term of court. In visiting the Auditor's office, the mode of handling tax returns was noted. After" taking the returns, the auditor l ands them ont to tbe town? ship board of assessors in each town? ship for <?x2tnination and correction. Before they are banded cut to the several boards of townships assessors, the County Beard rf Equalization meets for the purpr* of placing a valuation nuder severe' classifications on live stock, &c T;.r Grr-md Jory is of the op;n;ou t?-nt this would be I more effective if done on the "Form I of Beturn," The several heads in-j dicatiri: ::.rrn*-- for taxation such as j live ?tock, vehicles, etc.. con!-.i be ar- j ranged i-i the printed bla.-.k as 1st, j 2d, '.id cta-s This arrangement, with ! the additional requirement that each j tax payer. an*! rot th?3 auditor make j ont hi - own returns, wonM place the i OPUS o* n ?onec? voioat'on on the j tax uav~r It would a!su facilitate thr w:fk of ?he township beard of assess ors, ano en*1^ them to arrive, at a just a; H < cpa! apprais* mern of this class ot j r ; er tv. It will bt, noted that watch: s and plat*, i*cm No. 6. on the list, are designated as "Gold and Silver Plate." if this item ia classified, why net classify through the list all property that may be so arranged. Item No. 10, in the list directs that the "value of goods, merchandise, moneys, and credits pertaining to my business as a merchant, during tbe year or the part thereof, ending 31st, December" be returned for taxation. This is a vogue and misleading. If the value of goode, and merchandise handled daring the year are subject to assessment, the moneys and credits, for which they have been exchanged should not be also subject to assess? ment. As. it now stands, but few cor? rect returns are made under this head. Most returns indicate only the stock in hand December 31st, instead of the invoice value of merchandise handled during the year. The (?rand Jury advise further that before the next assessment of real pro? perty, the "form of return" be so ar rnged as to give more space for cor? rect location and description of land and buildings. The auditores attention is isked to the suggestion of the Grand Jury as to these "forma of returns," and that he make an effort to have the changes made as indicated, in time for the next issue of "tax returns." The Grand Jury have been informed at the office onf the County Super? visor, that the Court House square will be put in good condition in the near future. The Grand Jury makes no comment on the variety of crimes committed in the county, as indicated by the bills handed out by the solicitor, in the hope that public opinion will aid and direct a better regard for and enforce? ment of the laws B. J. Brownfield, Foreman. tournament. In reply to repeated inquiries as to how the horse tournament to come off the first day of the Sumter Fall Fes? tival is progressing, I beg to state. I At present we are only assured of 22 Knights. Some of .the merchants are voluntarily taking such interest in the tournament that now in ad? dition to the $1G5 in money offered by the committee, and the fine suit of clothes offered by The D. J. Chaud 1er Clothing Co., the Sumter Dry Goods Co., authorize us to say they are go? ing to donate a fine silk cloak for the Queen of the Tournament, in ad? dition to the handsome crown which the committee will have on hand for her. The Sumter Clothing Co., also -authorize us tc say that they wish to present a fine pair of Walk-Over shoes to such knight as may deserve them according to the scale of pizes offeed by the committee. Probably the mer? chants will follow suit, and while it is suggested by some that these ad? ditional prizes should be interspessed between the prizes offered by the com? mittee according to their several val ?ues. Yet the D. J. Chandler Cloth? ing Co., insist upon adding the suit of clothes or overcoat to the $50 al? ready arranged for the fist prize win? ner. We hear of two well settled mar? ried men who have their posts and rings, at their country homes already practicing with the hope of winning the first prize. Lit it be remembered that if a married man wins this prize he will have the right to turu over the crowning of the queen to the nest prize winner who may chance to be a single man and 'chat the queen to be the latter's own selection will have tue silk cloak as well as the wreath. The committee expect to have up the posts near Oakland avenue by tomor? row so as to permit pacticing there until the 22d wh'en the tornament will begin at 2 o'clock. . . We desire all names of riders to be handed in by or before the 15th inst., $**d that a meeting of the Knights will be bad at the office of the under? signed at 5 o'clock p. m., are that dnty to elect a Herald, and tansact such business as may #ome before the meet? ing. Voting may be done by proxy. To repeat, the prizes heretofore ad? vertised and offered by the committee. First prize-Most successful Knight, $40. Second prizp-Most graceful rider, and handsomest horse combined, $25. Third prize-The second most suc? cessful Knight, $15. Forth prize-The most ridiculous Burlesque river and animal combined. $10 Fifth prize-The second most ridic? ulous Burlesque rider and animal combined, $5. The tournament will be governed by the Standard rules. Entrancee fee $1 each. Let all who wish to par? ticipate send their names with $*. Respectfully, A. B. Stuckey, Chairman, Fall Festival Dots-A Correction. It is reliably reported that one of the traveling advertising agents for the Charleston Fall Festival is going around "knocking" the Sumter Fall Festival and circulating reports that "all of the shows that had beeu secur? ed for the Sumter Festival have can? celled their engagements and are going to Charleston and that the Sumer Fail Festival Committee will have no at? tractions to offer, and that there will be no crowd in Sumter Ouing the Fes? tival there." The above falsehood and similar misrepresentations were, it is said, pretty freely circulated in Bishopville and other places, accord? ing to reliable authority. The secre? tary of the Sumter Fall Festival says that the agent who misrepresented Sumter also misrepresented Charles? ton, as he is certain that the people of Charleston do not know that any of their agents are resorting to question? able method, to injure the Sumter Fall Festival. So far as he knows the city .of Charleston wishes the Sumter Fall Festival every success and the News and Courier of Charleston has certain? ly done a let to advertise the Sumter Fall Festival and the coming Sunday News will contain a big free write up cf Sumter's Festival. In regard to the shows cancelling their engagements, net a show of any kind bas bad an op? portunity to do that. At least, fifty shows have been refused privileges Des? canse the Fall Festival Committee did j uot want them nero for various rea ! sons, and some of those shows might j probe bly have secured licences to ex ! dibit at Charleston, but wo do not ? kuo* of any. The Sumter Fail Fes ti val wi il, so far as the programme as arranged by the committee be, absolu? tely free and of a strictly high class, clean and instructive character. There may be some outside shows for i which admirion will be charged, but j the Festival Committee will have ! nothing to do with them. In order to I protcet the public against fake shows, a special committee has been appoint? ed to confer with City Council to in? vestigate the character of all shows applying for licenses, and if City Council admits any, none but clean shows will be permitted. Reports from all over the state indicate that the Sumter Fall Festival will have al? most, if not as large a crowd as the State Fair. Entries for the live stock shows are coming in at a lively rate from the dif? ferent counties of the State. Twenty entries for the automobile races have been m&de so far and a car load cf racing automobiles arrived yesterday from the Pope Manfacturing Co., of Hartford, Connecticut for the races. Seven (7) military companys have de? cided to enter so far for the military prize drill and parade. Twenty-three entries have been made for the Knights tournament. Preparations are being made to decorate all the stores and residences and public build? ings. When you want a pleasant physic try Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablet*.

Mr. Editor: There are many burn? ing questions nowadays and people ht-re and there are advancing opin? ions, expressing convictions and dis? cussing theories respecting them. It is not my purpose in this article to treat of these various people, some of whom though vastly in the minority are worthy of highest honor while others merit only contempt. Some questions are popular, everybody dis? cussing them, some are threadbare by reason of overmuch discussion, while others, some, not less important, are not considered one way or the other. Tho other day an old fellow was tearing a aronnd in much bluster when he passed close his son. Said son, "Do you wish to make a dollar quick?" The old man paused in his mad "career" long enough to answer "Yes." The best way, the only to some, to reach many, (onght I to say most?) people is through the money, question. Money has always bad a nower, has always been a burning ques? tion. If Longfellow had rendered those immortal lines. "Lives of some rich men remind us We can cut up quite a shine and on dying leave behind ns? An estate that is not "mine" And our record lo! some other, .Striving for dishonest gain, Some shrewd unscrupulous brother, Seeing will take heart again," In the parlance of the day he would have made a lucky hit, if not for all, at least for these times. A great, good mau, whom the world accords wise bas said, "The love of money is the root of all evil." That was away hack yonder before mine and your grandpa were little boys. A greater th'au he 'bad gone into the sanctuary and with a scourge driven oat the money chang? ers saying, "It is written 'my house shall be called the house of prayer. ' but ye have made it a den of tin"eves." On7*7 last winter a church dignitary said nhe thing above ail we must meet, .<it threatens danger ailke to churc. and state is "commercialism" What is that? The effort to get gain from every source, if I may be per? mitted to define. Said a man "1 began life a penni? less boy and when I saw how the man who commanded money commanded j respect I determined to have it at all hazards." That man is one of a great army. Another said, "Why I would be tempted to kill my father for a dollar." Still another killed his father, not for one, but for only a few dollars. Do I hear some om? say "Enough?" Brother, one soid bis Lord fer thirty pieces of silver, and wheu men do that they reach a point to which there is no beyond. Just now we hear much of graft, ? corruption in government; how does it almost, if not entirely manifest itself but in greed for gain. It does seem that at times people go wild, I might say mad over things, to the utter dis? regard of all things else. Have you not seen it beard, its cry been caught up in its mad rush and felt its breath, if not its spirit? At such times the ignoble crushes the noble, the base are exalted and men of high degree are a lie. I am no pessimist; I have faith in the invincibility and snccess of truth and righteousness, but I remember that what has been may be. Some people never grow alarmed till danger is at the' door. We can j conceive of no danger of the money question, 'commercialism" if you please, though they will not allow it that more nearly concerns us touches is that the perversion of justice in our courts. On every band where one goes he bears the judgment, almost a pron un ci amen to, that thc courts are a farce, where money is at command. Only the other day some men discuss? ing a notorious case now in the courts told how justice woold be defeated, the case being thrown out only be? cause the criminare counsel bought up a juror with the snug sum of five hundred or a thousand. All this is common talk on the streets at the crossings around the fireside and it is working, ha9 worked evil. Years ago in Chesterfield I think it was a rich man was trying by fraud to take a poor widow's land and had so far succeeded as to corrupt her counsel. Suspecting this she recured the help of Mr. afterwards Judge Mciver through whose help alc^e she gained the case. When an appeal was talked of he said to her "Be easy; you shall have justice all for the five dollars you have paid me." Wa have good men today at the bar, hut to one such there seem so many had ones. What else should we call the man who can and decs subvert jus? tice? Let such take warning for "Their violent dealing will come down on their own pate." "Hagood" WILL 60 TO SUMTER. Columbia Millitary Companies Will Drill for Several Prizes. All of the military companies of the city have decided to go to Sumter to participate in the prize drills. There are two prizes of 8150 and $100 in addition to two medals for indvidual drills.

The city Board of Education at a meeting held on Tuesday heard a com S mittee consisting of Major Wilson and ? Mr. L. I.

The Board in compliance with this request asked tho Sperintendent of Schools to give holiday at the con? clusion of the Floral Parado on Tues? day morning for tho rest of Festival week. The Board felt free to grant this request as it will add only a littie over a day to the usual Thanks? giving holidays, and this time will be made up later. Herb W. Edwards Injured.
