Circuit Court.

The Court of General Sessions continued
last week, and the only remaining case tried
after our report was the State VS.. George
Caldwell, indicted for assault and battery
with intent to kill The State was repre-
sented by Solicitor Cothran and the defen-
dant by Messrs. Murray & Murray. Yer
dict. guilty of assault and battery, but re-
commended to the mercy of the Court.
The parties convicted were called up for
sentence, and after plain though feeling
lecture from Judge Aldrich, the following
sentences were pronounced: George Cald-
well, fine of 81 and the costs of the case |;
Perry Keys, fine of 81 and the costs of the
case; Joe Arnold, thirty days in Jail; Thos.
Sizemore, six months in the penitentiary;
Thomas Garrett, one year in the penitentia-
y; Oliver Caldwell, eighteen months in
the penitontiary; Anthony McCorpin, two
years in the penitentiary; James Kinnman,
two years in the penitentiary, and Henry
Davis the term of his natural lifetime in
the penitentiary. The general opinion is
that Judge Aldrich has been very reasona-
BILE and considerate in the sentences i'm
posed.
The civil business was then entered into
and rapidly disposed Of every case ready
for trial being decided by the Judge before
he left Anderson on Saturday evening.
Our people were pleased with Judge
Aldrich, and he carries with him the re-
spect and well wishes of all in consequence
of his diligent and impartial work upon the
Bench in our midst.

In proceeding to sentence Thomas Size
more for assault with intent to kill. Judge
Aldrich asked the prisoner whether he
would prefer confinement i'll the County
Jail or in the Penitentiary, to which he re-
piled that he preferred the Penitentiary,
and was accordingly given term Of six
months in that institution. When we first
heard this selection We thought it very re-
markable, and could not account for the
grounds of objection to the boarding-house
kept by our Sheriff. We, therefore, inyes-
tigated the reasons as far as we were able,
and were informed that Sizemore is very
ignorant old man, who is very fond of
fishing. He was told after his conviction
by some of the prisoners who were joking
him that he would be sent to the Peniten-
tiary, but as he was an old man that he
would not be made to work and could en-
ploy his time in fishing in the Congaree
river, which runs through the Penitentiary
yard. These representations, together with
his curiosity for trip on the cars, and a
desire to see Columbia, induced him to
select punishment in the Penitentiary rath-
er than in the County Jail.
On last Friday or Saturday last two
strange young men, whose chief business
seemed to consist in selling pinchbeck jew
elry, and that, too, of very inferior quail
ity, made their appearance in Anderson,
and were setting about their business, when
Sheriff Mcconnell informed them that he
had in his possession warrants Of arrest for
two young men, and that they suited the
description so exactly that he was persus-
ded they were the parties desired. Of course
they assured him they had done nothing
for which to be arrested, and were willing
to satisfy" him that he had gotten hold
of the wrong men. The warrants had
been issued by Trial Justice of Union
County on account of the failure Of the
parties to pay their board bill while stop
ping in Union, but owing to some irregu-
larity in them, the Sheriff did not feel JUS
titled in taking the parties in custody, and
so they soon packed up and made their
way to some other quarter. 1t is a very
great pity that sach scamps are allowed to
impose upon the public in such way, and
we regret exceedingly that they could not
have been arrested and sent back to Union
to pay the severest penalty that could be
imposed for their rascality. The escape of
these men is the result of having inefficient
Trial Justices.

presentmsnt of the Grand Jury.

To the Hon. d. P. Aldrich, Presiding Judge Of
Eighth Judicial Circuit, June Term. 1879.
We, the Grand Jury, beg leave to submit
the following as our presentment:
We have visited the various County off,
ces, and find them, without exception, well
and neatly kept according to the law as we
understand it. As respects The Poor House,
through committee of this body, we re-
port that they visited most of the inmates
and find them well provided for. There
are about forty inmates, mostly invalids-
twenty-six white, balance colored. The
Steward, Robert Stephenson, we are pleased
to say, is faithful in the discharge of his
official duty. The crop, mostly in grain, is
in good condition, plenty of vegetables to
supply the wants of the inmates. The
wheat crop is estimated at one hundred
bushels, and sorghum at three hundred
gallons, and we think it to the economy of
the County that the County Commissioners
be requested to look into this suggestion,
and if in their judgment they think it ad-
visable, they purchase secondhand or
new mill and evaporation to reduce the
cane into sorghum. We are glad to report
that, although the supplies necessary to
support the inmates cannot be paid for in
cash, yet arrangements have been made
whereby they can be bought at cash prices
with the legal rate of interest until paid for.
We congratulate the County Commits
missioners on the present condition of the
public roads, and urgently request them to
pay particular attention in the future that
they be kept in the same acceptable condi-
ton.
We recommend that the proper authorities,
at the earliest proper convenience, furnish
the respective County Offices with chairs.
We have been informed that an order for
the same has been made, put as yet has not
been filled, and if the said order be insutti-
cient, we recommend that further order
be made, subject to the discretion OF the
County Commissioners.
We appreciate the suggestion of the

been employed in the family of DR.. P. A.
Wilhite as house-boy for several weeks,
md about two weeks ago was discharged,
as he was suspicioned of stealing the sum
ofS15, which had beenl left within his reach.
On Tuesday he was looked up, and after
being closely questioned acknowledged to
having taken the money, and said that he
had given it to his mother. The mother
saws she knows nothing about the money,
and so the matter rests. The boy is in Jail.
Since the above was put in type both Bob
and his mother have been tried before Trial
Justice Breazeale. The former was convic-
ted and sentenced to one month in jail, and
the latter acquitted. The money was not
recovered.
During recent trip into the country to-
wards the Saluda river, representative OF
the INrELL1aENcER had the pleasure of go
ing over some very fine farms, and was
gratified at the general appearance Of the
CROPS. There was scarcely grassy field to
be seen anywhere, which proves that the
farmers of this section have been making
good use of the recent fine weather. We
were especially pleased with the farm of Mr..
Peter Acker, who lives near Bolton. Mr..
Acker is o model farmer, and also success
ful bee culturist. He has fifteen or twenty
hives, and gets from so to IS pounds of
honey from each gum every time he robs
them. He has several different patent hives
and understands the merits of each Of the
different kinds, as he has studied the nature
and habits of bees until it has become a
science with him. There are many other
interesting farms in this neighborhood, for
from Bolton to the Saluda river can be found
mny of the, prosperous and hospitable
farmers of Anderson County.
