Grand Jury Presentment.
j To his Honor, Judge J. C. Klugh,
Presiding Judge.
We, the grand jury for Sumter
j county, beg to make this, our first,
j presentment.
j T?Ve have examined into and re
j turned al! bills given us by the act
! ing solicitor.
!
j We have, through our committees,
! visited the several county ?nices,
j chaingang. 'alms house, jail and cis
! pensarles and find them all, without
I exception in splendid and satisfactory
i condition. In regard to the ?ail it
? gives us pleasure tb say tba*, v e find
i
j ibis institution in a clean and healthy
i condition, no complaints from prison?
! ers and a management far better
j than we have 'vcr r-oced before,
j We find the jail to be very'dark
fand unsafe to the keener for the ad
j mission of prisoners during tho night
time, his only source of light being
j from hand lamps and candles, ano
'we respectfully, recommend that
electric lights be placed in the corri?
dors ?>? the ?all and a!I> passages
through which prisoners are admit?
ted.
V?'e find a "negro. Ed Tilt tn, co::
fined since October 0. 1.9,06, solely as
ja witness in the case of the Stat:
S against Spivens and McCoomer, said
jcase being on appeal to the suprmc
court, but not yet reached by that
honorable body, and as tb.s witness
has been used in the court we do not
see the good end to be sei ved by thc
further retention of this witness fox
possibly six months or a year, thus
depriving him of his liberty on a
mere presumption of what the su?
preme court will do in this case.
Therefore we respectfully recommend
that your Honor forthwith order the
release of said Tilton.
We are sorry to report that severa}
of our former recommendations have
not been carried out, notably the col?
lection of the amount due the county
by the Mayesville dispenser.
Complaint has been made to u:>
by one of the magistrates of the
county that default has occurrred in
'a number of appearance bonds in the
magistrates' courts and no action has
been taken on same. We respectfully
ask your Honor to instruct the prop?
er officers to give this matter their at?
tention.
We respectfully call to your Hon?
or's attention that a number of wit?
nesses bound over for appearance a*
court have failed to attend thus re?
tarding the progress of the court, and
entailing considerable expense to the
county. We therefore ask that your
Honor take such steps as are neces?
sary to prevent a recurrence of the'
same.
There is confied in the county jail
one Levi Henderson, held under a
warrant issued by a magistrate of the'
county charging assault with intent
to ravish. We are informed that no
indictement has been brought against
this prisoner. After careful inquiry
into and consideration of this case,
we, the grand jury, believe that tho
ends of justice will best be served by
the release from custody of the said
Levi Henderson, and we respectfully
ask your Honor to effect the same.
We desire to extend our thanks to
his Honor, the Presiding Judge, the
. Acting Solicitor, and all other officers
of the court for courtesies shown us
during the term.
All of which is respectfully sub?
mitted. R. L. Wright,
Forem?n.

''Rest is the great restorer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
! to restore them; yet a great many of
us do not stop to think how little rest
we give our stomachs. As a usual
thing no part of our bodies i so gen?
erally overworked as our digestive or?
gans. A tired and overworked stom?
ach will give signs of distress to
which we pay no heed until at last
dyspepsia takes hold. Indigestion is
just a warning, and if we heed
the warning we can easily avoid
further consequences. Kodol is a most
thorough stomach relief. It digests
what you eat and gives the stomach
the needed rest and greatly assists in
restoring it to its normal activity and
usefulness. Kodol is sold on a guar?
antee relief plan. It is sold here by
all druggists.
Small Fire.

A Tribute From a Friend Who Know
Him Wcii.
! Mr. Editor: Please allow me
i space to pay this small tribute to the
. memory of that sturdy old citizen
?and 'gallant Confederate soldier. Mir.
{ J. C. Dove, who was laid to rest in
! the cemetery here on Tuesday last.
j. Mr. Dove, though not ? native of
! Sumter, was known t>; "many here,
I having married Miss Lizzie Dolarme
j of this place over thirty years ago,
j who is a sister ol t)r. J. TT. W. De
!
. Lorn-;- and Mr. Y,\ M. Lo Lo rm... weil
! , . i . . . ..
? i:nosvn citizens oj fcrns city.
! Mr. Dove was from Dov?svi?le; S.
i
i C., in Darlingtor. co mity, and has liv
! ed his entire life of nearly 03/ years
j there. For nearly years he was
j the faithful and efficient depot agent
at Doves statioiV. having resigned
i that position a few months ago gn ac
; count of iii health, and ren?Oy?ng to
j this city with his family to spend the
j rest of his days. Though suffering
! willi organic heart 'dlsea.su. there wu s
j no reason to sur-poe that the end
j was so near, which car;:o peacefully
while he vv..?. sitting ir. his chair- read?
ing, without a momer?as warning
j '.rel without the racking i'^a. thu ?e
I ver, tho deliriums, the emaciation
[that make so many death-beds 'ter
J Mr. Dove belonged to that Quiet,
conservative, honest type of man that
makes our best citizens h i-p. in his
home he was always the polite,
thoughtful gentleman bud hrs hos?
pitality was equal to ever.* demand.
To his wife and children ho was the
kind and affectionate husband and
father, and by them he was almost
idolized.
When the war between the States
was declared he hurried to the front
and made a brave and faithful sol?
dier, having seen a full share of
fighting in the west. At one amelie
was captured and placed in prison in
Xew Orleans, where he was confined
for months and the hardship he suf?
fered and indignities to which he
was subjected constituted a thrilling
chapter in the history of his life.
Chancing to be in Sumter at the
time of Potter's raid near the close
of the war, he took part in the fa?
mous (locally) fight of Dingle's mill,
and was in command of one of the
two guns that were used with splen?
did effect-though unsuccessful in
the end-to keep the enemy from
crossing ^the swamp. It is said htat
he was the last man to leave the bat?
tle ground and that he stood to his
gun so doggedly, heedless of the
near approach of the enemy that
when he quitted the protection of
breast works, there seemed scant
hope of his escape from the hail of
lead hat fell around him, but he
came away unscathed. These old
Confederate heroes are rapidly pass?
ing away, but their memory shall al?
ways be dear to the southern heart,
and of them the loyal southerner will
join in singing:
"Hard sleep the brave who sink to
rest,
Ey all their country's wishes blessed!
When spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed
mould,
She then shall dress a sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet have ever trod,"
etc., etc.

"Pneumonia's Deadly Work
*Had so seriously affected my right
lung," writes Mrs. Fanny Connor, of.
Rural Route 1, Georgetown, Tenn.,
"that I coughed continuously night

a bottle of Dr. King's Xew Discovery,
which in my case proved to be the
only real cough cure and restorer of
weak lungs." When all other reme?
