Grand Jury Presentment- March
Term, 1881.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,

County of OCOnee.
WALHALLA, s. c., March l5, 1881.
To tie Honorable j. B. Kersha,o, Judge Presiding
in The Eighth Judicial Circuit, Oeonec County
SO. b4
We, tho grand jury, respectfully report to
your Honor:
That we have by special committees examined
all the public Offices of the county and find them
we'll kept and in good order.
The County Jail We find is unsafe by reason
of one or two of the iron bars of the windows
therein being nearly sawed apart and a general
repairing in other respects being needed.
We have visited tho Poor House and find the
farm in it's usual condition. The dwelling of
the Steward needs some repairs to make it COM
Portable and the fence around the yard Of the
same needs fixing up; the barn Of the samo is
also needing some repairs.
We also report that Joe Gibson (colored,) and
Jane Andrews, (whito,) are living together in
fornicasion according to information given us,
and that Thomas Mauldin, Wm Childcrs, Thos.
Grogan, Dick Lee and Monroe Scott are ma.
terial witnesses to prove the same.
Andrew Hyatt, (colorcd,) aud Salle Moss,
(White,) are also living together in fornication,
and Jack Keith and Christopher VonLohe are
material Witnesses to prove the same.
These offences are becoming too common in
our midst and we recommend vigorous pros
eoution of the samo in order to suppress the
disgracetul practice.
We desire to commend 10 this report the
County Commissioners of this county for the
efficient, economical and prompt manner in
which they have performed their duty in build
ing the county fence provided for by The las
Legislature, under the many difficulties with
which they were met.
We desire also to return thanks to the Presid-
ing Judge and the Solicitor for the kindness ant
assistance at the present term of the court ex-
tended 10 us.

HORRIBLE HERoIsM IN TEXAs.-A
horrible story is reported from Dales, Tex
as George Arnold was bitten BY mad
dog year ago, aud though he took every
precaution to extirputc the virus, has ever
since been haunted by tho belief that he
was fatod to die of hydrophabia. He had
q wife and several small children living on
an Isolated farm, and he feared that he
might suddenly lose his reason and harm
his little babi g Not long since he had
strange feelings that convinced him TINT
his time had come. lie procured trace
chain md a strong lock, and fastened him-
self securely to a tree in the woods, throw
ing the key away, out of his reach. lie
previously wrote nn alrcctonate letter to
his wife, telling her what he was about to
do, and that he preferred to die where he
could injure no one. Two days after his
dead body was found still chained to the
tree. There was all the evidence necessary
to show the horrible death FROM hydropho-
bia. The ground vas torn up to the full
length of the chain, the nails of the fingers
wreDohcd of and all the front teeth out in
scratching aud biting the tree, and every
thread of clothing off the body. The
body was dreadfully laceruted with these,
the only weapons the mad man could use.
lie had judged rightly what wcud have
been the consequence had he remained at
home, and, knowing that thore was no hu,
man skill that could have cured him, pre-
fered death alone, aud in that way, to
doing harm to those so nenr and dear to
him as wife or child. Arnold was
originally frem Talladega, Ala, where he
married and where his widow has mony
friends and relatives.

Cunningham was going to visit "a neigbbor

violently assaulted by a negro who had fol-
lowed her. She resisted with much force,
and, finding her too strong for him, tho
negro seized a lightwood knot and struck
her sensefess. Tho little sister ran for
help md the fiend dragged the senseless
girl for ono hundred and fifty yards to
swamp. She partially rallied and made on
effort to scream when ho renewed his at.
tempt to outrage her. Hearing persons
coming tho negro made his escape into the
deep swamp, and evor siucel has beon holly
pursued, and if he is found ho may have a
short shrift. The girl is lying dangerously
i'll. One eye was almost beaten out, aud
she is badly cut in the head. The outrage
occurred about four miles from this place.

COMMISSIONERS LORING'S POLICY.

A washington correspondent of the Vest
ea7s Homestead after Ii listening to a recent
speech of our new commissioner of agricul-
ture, writes Of him as follows:
venture to refer to his speech as mat
ter of general interest, because he seemed
to make it an occasion to outline his policy
on what he called the seattle industly'' OF
the country. The LIE Due dynasty viii be
memorial as the golden age of American
tea; and the historian will record that. dur
ing the time he steered the ship of agricul-
ture, this solace of old women reached a
degree of cultivation that it had never at
tanned before, on a half acre Of land in Geor-
gia,
Commissioner Loring's administration
promises to be remarkable for the progress
of the seattle industry including dogs and
cats. He said that he had conversation
with the Chief Of the Census Department.

greatest statiician OF all the ages, and that
General Walker had told him the live stock
Industry" surpassed all others in the
United States. That as great as was our
cereal, cotton, sugar, root, and tobacco
crops, they were not to be compared with
the aggregate wealth represented in horses,
COWS, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats. DIR. Loring
actually mentioned the dogs and cats in all
seriousness, and did not seem to be aware
that the ''small deer" bear little other than
a parasitical relation to the human and ami
NAL economy. He said that he proposed to
have bureau Of live stock added to the
Department of Agriculture, and from the
cheerful and enthusiastic way in which he
spun words on the subject do not think
that it is Utopian to expect that, in this rap
idly progressive age, we may soon hear, in
the Department of Agriculture, commits
sioner Of dogs and cats. Let us hope that
his duties may relate to their extinction.

that wheat ever changes to chess. It has

the idea of supposed transformation has
