The Chester OtdfudrG Was iass NIUE uuueA sno
charge of e1-edtor MIcKLE, who served up very |
entertaining dish of local matter for his Chester read
ers. The Court had just been in session, Judge
O'NEALL presiding, and account Of its proceedings
occupies two columns. Ono two points in the
Grand Jury's presentment are worthy Of mention.

palpable neglect of the public highways in several
parts of the District. 3rd They report as nuisance

no little pernency. This Of carelcssneas is
too often observable among planters, planters too

the occurrence of such fretng nconvenenccs as arc
often thus occasoned by the csrelessncsS of their

the traveller to drive around unnecessary chunk,
or to eItricate from his wheel pcstferious brush,
the appearance of such things lessons tho estimation

farmers home.
| As to the penetentiary recommendation of the
Chester jury, VIC have long thoughtit good one. Ii
VIC arc not mistaken, it has boon regarded by many
grand jures in the state Nor do We doubt that the
establishment of such an institution would meet the
| appreciation of large majority Of the people OF
South Carolina. Why it is that our Legislators do
not take hold of the matter cannot see ;-psrhaps
because they think the State has her hands full just
now in the matter of tho new State House.
