Whenever and Wherever

Diseases of choleraic type pfevgfI, or
there is cause to apprehend a visit
from them, the system should be toned
regulated and reinforced by course
of Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters. Per-
feet digestion and regular habit of
body are the best safeguards against
such maladies, and both are secured
by this incstimabfe tonic and alter&-
tive. The Btters are also extremely
serviceable in remedying such disor-
dcrs. If promptly taken in bilious.
cole, diarrhGa and cholera morbus,
the disease is usually frustrated. In
di~rrhea cases, it is only necessary to
restore the tone Of the relaxed bowels
and this is one Of tho specific effects Of
this medicine. Wind on the stomach :
heartburn, bilHousness, nausea, head.
ache and other symptoms of distur-
bancc in tho gastric and hepatic rev
gions are also speedily relieved by
this excellent remedy. AS family
medicine it is invaluable, since it
promptly and completely remedies
those ailments which are of most fro
quent occurrence.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION,

If may travel outside of the re-
cord just here, it may be remarked
that the failure OF Ladd's family TO
dony, in their affidavits, the alleged
fact Of Ladd's having attempted to
shoot the officer, IS doubtless owing to
the fact that they did not know of the
charge having been made against him,
as they had not, of course, seen the
affidavits mado by tho officers. If
Ladd had q gun in his his hard, it
may be further said, this cannot bo
considered evidence Of any evil inton>
tion on his part, as no one of the
mountainous ever leaves his house
without bearing on his shoulder the
familiar old squirrel rife, which is al
ways carried tor the purpose of kill
ing such game as they can find in
their rambling in the woods. Ladd
was just on the point of leaving home
Oh such short journey to neigh
bor's house and had slupg over his
shoulder q haversack containing q
cow bell and one or two plough points
which he intended taking to noighs
boring blacksmith shop to havo Mons
ded.
The evidence Of tho officers goes
plainly to show that they thought
they were dealing with tho redoutablo
Redmond, whom they feared and
whom they intended to kill on sight,
and it seems safe to conclude that
Ladd fell a victim to their error!
1t is commonly reported, both hero
and in Greenville and Spartanburg,
that the warrant which they now
show, containing Ladd's namo, was
made out or filled in after his death,
and while will not pretend to say
that this is even probably true in this
case, L am at perfect liberty TO say
that there is abundant evidence in nv
possession which proves that they
have made numerous arrests hereto~
fore without such warrant, and this
evidence l will submit in o subsequent
letter.
The Court of General Sessions for
Pickens County convones hore to-
morrow, when this case will come up
among the first for trial. An effort
will probably be made to have it re~
moved to the United States Court.
which motion will hardly prove suc-
cessful. A motion to remove the case
to Greonville is also anticipated, and
this would probably be granted by
Judge Kershaw in view of the state of
feeling here, or, more strictly speaking,
with a view to remove all grounds for
the charge of an unfair trial in the
event of conviction. C. MoK.

MIR EDITORIALS tho columns of
your highly esteemed paper is open
TO correspondence from any township
or portion of our County, I will en-
deavor to let the public hear from
tow nship No. 4, (Easley)
Our soil is from the poorest of pine
lands to that Of tho richest Of river
bottom, and the products arc such as
are grown in this latitude.
We can boast of n range unsur-
passed by any portion Of our County,
for cattle, hogs and sheep.
Politics for few years after the
war was like other portions Of our
County, "ring streaked and striped" )"
but as those are only degenerate col>
ors, they faded at the last election,
there was not one entire Radical vote

will say huzza.
There is not much interest taken
at this time in the reorganization of
the Easloy Democratic Club, but fear
not, L will assur you that we will be
on hand true blue this fall for honesty
and home rule.
Mr. Editor, I think the prospect is
for weeks rain Of candidates, and
it is very evident that we haven't an
office for you all, gentlemon.
Wheat, in quality, is not as good
as it was last year, but in quantity
about the same. The vegetable crop
never was better; the prospect for
corn and cotton up to this date is
very good.

some portions of our township. The
Six Mile Sunday school (Baptist) pre-
sents the first instance of my recol-

Presentment of the Grand Jury, June
Term, 1878.

+
TO the H0n.J. B. Kershaoo, Presiding
Judge:
The Grand Jury in the discharge of
their duty, and under the instructions
of your Honor, beg leave to make the
following report:
Several subjects upon which your
Honor charged the jury, were report
cd upon at the last term of the Court
at this place, and as report upon
them now would simply be q repeti-
ton of our last report, we will not
occupy the time Of the Court.
In accordance with the instructions
OF your Honor, we have visited the
Offices OF the various officers of the
County, and given them such atten>
ton as the limited time at our COM
mand would permit. Without max
ing o special statement as to each Of
ficer, we would report that we have
visited the offices of the Judge of Pro-
bate, Sheriff, Clerk of Count, Treas>
urer, Auditor and School Commits
sioner and County Commissioner, and
find that their books are neatly kept,
the officers up with their work, and
the Offices presenting neat and
healthy appearance.
A committee of the jury has visited
the jail, and report that they find it
secure, the prisoners well and com>
fortably provided for.
A committee has also visited the
"Poor Farm" and report that the
paupers are we'll cared for and the
farm in good condition. There are
now three paupers less on tho poor
farm than at our last report.
The public roads, as a general thing
are in bad condition, apa the jury
have been informed that in some sec>
tions no overseers have been ap-
pointed TO over look and direct the
working of the highways, and that
laborers in other sections are very
unequaly divided. These things,
however, the jury is informed, and
believes, will soon DO remedied, and
make tho presehtment simply with
the Wow of bringing it 10 the attention
of the County Commissioners.
Ihejury appreciates the remarks
made by your Honor in reference to
the burdenscm taxation of this Coun-
ty, resulting from u subscription Of
one hundred thousand dollars to the
Atlanta and Charlotte Air Limo Rail-
way Company. The County is now
in litigation with tho Company,
resisting the payment Of these
bonds, and the case is now pending
in the Supreme Court of tho United
States. No report, therefore, or re-
commondation from us We think, could
effect the status of the case or relieve
the people, AS the matter is in the
! courts, We must look to the courts for
relief
We regret to learn that in some
parts Of the State, tho impression
prevails that Pickens, in consequence
of recent revenue troubles, is in n
great state of excitement. 1t affords
US pleasure to thus publicly deny the
existence of any unusual excitement,
and to solcmnly assert that the Coun-
ty was never in moro quiet and
peaceful state.
In conclusion, we beg to extend TO
the Court and to Solicitor Cothran.
our thanks forothe able and courteous
manner in which you have discharged
the onerous duties devoIving upon
you, and our high appreciation of
your eminent services.
Respectfully submitted.

A laughable incident occurred at the
lake on Sunday morning. There is a
steam ferry-boat plying between the
beach on the Charlotte side and the
mouth of the river. Sunday morning,
Ferryman Williams made run across
with some half dozen passengers, and
landed safely on the Summerville side.
He also went ashore with them, having
interested himself in conversation with
one of the party, but suddenly, to his
surprise, he saw his ship leaving him,
and making rapid progress for the oppo-
site shore. rtaaH
1t seems one of the passengers had
been inspecting the engine in the en-
gine room, and opened the steam valve,
and set the machine running, but did
not know how to stop it. Williams
shouted to the fellow to turn the valve
over this way, making the motion with
his hands. Jon .r.H.t.. pG.
The fellow in attempting to obey
orders, turned the valve, but sure
enough, turned it the wrong way, and
set the machine running faster.4 Then
he turned it the other way; but as it
did not stop Immediately he again
turned it the other way. Then he turned
again and again, and finally he gave it
up. fnu
He came outside and said he couldn't
stop the old machine. Williams was
sufficient for the work, however, for he
ran to the club house, obtained a pair
of oars, jumped into one of the little
boats which were pulled up on the pier,
and made for his runaway boat, reach
ing it just in time to save it from strik-
ing heavily against the opposite pier
