10 the Hon. j. S. Cothran, Judge pesiding
in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, October term,
1882.
The grand jury ask leave to mako the fol-
lowing MS their presentment:
lst. 1t gives us great pleasure to be able to
say that since the last term of tho Court
peace, good order and quiet have prevailed
throughout tho county; the people have been
generally orderly and Industrious.
"a. 1t has been reported to us that the
bridge across Conneross Creek, near Sitton's,
is in dangerous condition; that the road
Leading from Westminster to the Con.
neross bridge. near E. P. Yerner's. has not
been worked; that the rond leading from tho
residence of G. V Hunter, ESQ, to the Boat.
right Mountain, is not in II good con-
dition; also that the road from tho
fret gate OF John Taylor Cox's to Chauga
brigdc and the road through the Maxwell
place are not we'll worked. Complaint has
reached US of tho general nurrowness of the
public roads and we insist that the County
Commissioners and supervisors of public
roads show cause why the public ronds have
not been made wider rs it has been suggested
by the grand jury from time to time.
Sd. We have, by committees of our body,
visited and inspected tho various county
offices and find them we'll kept, also tho jail
and find there nothing to complain Of We
recommend that iron bars bo placed across
the hall window on tho East end thereof.
We have also by committee visited tho county
poor house and find tho paupers, nine in
number, well cared for, we'll clothed, good
comfortable bed clothing for tho winter, good
comfortable houses and in good condition.
We recommend that tho Steward of tho moor
house be permitted to SOW tho lands of tho
poor house farm in wheat this fall in the stead
Of renting them out to different persuns and
that he DO allowed to hiro assistance for har-
vestng the same.
4ti. The Trial Justices Of tho county, not
knowing it to bo their duty to produce their
books for our inspection at every term of tho
court, have failed to present them for our
examination at this torn. We ask that tho
Solicitor instruct them to have their books
present at each succeeding term of this court
for the inspection Of this body.
We tendor our cincero thanks to his Honor
the presiding Judge. and the Solicitor for
their kindness and assistance. Rcspec,fullv

negro. on Sunday morning, Can't there
upon went to tho Town Of Brunson, collected
about twenty negroes and returned to Hampr

There were about six whito men near tho
hotel, Robert Ried. Nowell, Gerald. Samuel
Dewitt, Maj. Causoy and II, IA. Peoples.
Those were oil tho white men visible on the
streets. Reid was Immediately fired upon by
upwards of fifteen negroes and almost in.
sunty killed. The negroes then turn,
upon the other whites and severely beat and
cut NOVEL;, Gerald and Dewitt. Mr.. Henry
Peoples at this time lcaped upon his horse
and put spurs to it, cxclaiming II will go to
Yarnville and summon help" When he got
to tho edgo Of tho town ho was waylaid by
two negroes who stopped his horse and ex-
claimed, 'You are tho id rascal going for
holp to Varnvillo." Thereupon they dragged
him from his horse and stabbed him with u
knife 10 the left thigh and side. They jerkod
him off his horse and were brutally beating
him whom seeing that ho would probably bo
killed. he resortcd to the ruse of calling on
an absent friend to como to his assistance
with pistol. This had The desired effect,
and after cutting tho bridlo reins the negroes
left him. The negroes had not tho slightest
provocaton as Reid was discharging his duty

Wlahalla's Need.

MEssRs. EDIroRs: The good citizens of every
place should feel On abiding interest in the
financial, moral and social condition of the
locality in which he resides. On this principle
l suppose that every man who lives in Walhalla
not only desires but is willing to do everything
ho can TO advance the general prosperity Of the
place? Wei! there is ono thing VIC ought TO do
and one thing we must do before our town is
what its namo signiies-Paradise. This one
thing, to which a!!udc :s The putting down Of
the sale of ardent spirits. At present give
only two reasons why there should not bc any
license granted for the sale of ardent spirits in
tho incorporated limits Of our town.
In tho first place the welfare Of society forbids
it. There is nothing that makes place so de-
sirable to a true and worthy citizen as its good
morals and sobrety. In such place az this
there is an atmosphere Of purity, elevating to
oil who breathe 1t and desirable to those who
reside away from it. I am somewhat acquainted
with the towns In our State and do not think
that Walhalla Is more immoral than others, yet
am afraid that If some good man, prospecting
for future homo, should happen to be in our
town at certain times he would feel more like be
had gotten into council hall Of evil spirits
than into Paradise. It is certainly true that
at times the pavement Is blocked up by noisy.
tumultuous crowd of drunken men, whose tur-
bulency makes II unpleasant for a gentleman to
pass near, while their conduct utterly precludes
the idea of lady's passing that way. Every
one who has been much about Walhalln knows
that the above statements are true, and also
knows that tho origin Of 1t all Is found in the
excessive use of whiskey. For If this poisonous
drug is put from us there Is no more peaceable
town to be found than ours. Seeing then the
OWL influences Of the use Of ardent spirits, why
con there not be unanimous consent on the
part OF our people to put this out Of the way
and, thus remove from us this great barrier 10
tho progress Of good morals and the purity Of
sooiety2 We are not only to take the morals Of
our grownup people into consideration in this
matter, but We are to have an eye single 10 the
proper training Of the young. The child who
sees the conduct Of drunken men every day
soon becomes familiar with It and no impressions
OF its terrible consequences are made on his
mind. SO when he becomes man, il he is not
a drunkard himself, his moral tastes will become
80 yitiated, his moral perception 80 obtuse, that
he will utterly fail to see the evil to bo found
In The excessive uso Of strong drink and his in
auence for sobriety will have been lost. Fellow
citizens, for the moral good Of ourselves and
cAildren let us put this evil from our midst.
Bnt second reason why there should be no
strong drink sold In our town Is because the
nrosperiky Of our schools forbids its SALE This
question is closely connected with the material
prosperity Of the place. Ours Is q mountain
town and While ne are surrounded by ON asri-
