Presiding Judge: -.
! We, the Grand Jury, respectfully
beg leave to report that weasaye pas
sed on all the bills handed us for
our consideration, and in this, our
general report would say that having
examined the County offices ut the
former term of court, and having
heard no complaint in reference to
them, we have deemed it unnecessary
to examine them at this tepm of the
court, t. ...,
We have, by committee Of our
body, visited the Poor House, and
find that the paupera are properly
cared for and the farm In good con-
Gtion. We have also visited the
County Jail, md find the prisoners
are we'll taken care of, and the iailer
doing his duty.
We would suggest, that owing to
the financial condition of our County,
and tho heavy taxes already imposed on
our people, we deem it unwise at this
time to recommend the building of
new Court House, on tho improve
ment of the present one.
We haze examined the books of the
various Trial Justices, and find them
satisfactory, correctly and neatly
kept. We recommend that our Sen
ator and members of the Legislature
use their influence to have an act
passed, increasing the salaries of each
of the Trial Justices to the following
amounts:
For the Trial Justices of Easley
and Central Townships, each $125;
Liberty and Pickens, each $75, Hur-
ricane, Dacusvilie, Pumpkintown and
Eastatoe, each $40. Also, an Act to
require land owners to remove from
their cultivated lands all dead timber
standing within reach of the public
roads. We would also call attention
of the Representative from this
County to the fact that too many
persons gre exempt from road duty,
and we recommend that they use their
influence to have the Road Law
amended SO that all men who are
able to do manual labor be re-
quired to do road duly, and we would
also suggest that they cndeavor to
haye an Act passed, whereby Super
visors of Roads and Trustees of pub
lie schools should have sum rcmu-
acratlcn fer their services,

stables A. G.. Baker and Patrick

'Rada his escape while beins Gan|ny-
ed to the County Jail OH September

the Solicitor take such steps as he
deems advisable for their prosecution.
1t having been brought to our at
| tent3on that John r. Williams Of
Central had been unlawfully engaged
i'll the sale of spirituous liquors, We
made thorough investigation of the
matter, aRd Gpd the charge unfound-
ed, there being no proof TO sustain it,
We call the attention of the County
Commissioners to the fact that the
contract for the drainage of Eighteen
Mile Creek has not been complied
with, and we recommepd that they
give their immediate attention to the
matter.
We return our thanks to your
Honor, the Solicitor and other Off
GERS of the Court for courtesies shown
us.

Not n oueatIon of Sentiment,

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York World intimates the possibility
Of the election Of Democratic senator to
the presidency pro TEN. of the Senate. He
appears to think there is sort Of impress
sion in the minds of Republican senators
that such choice would be in accord with
''the eternal fitness of things"
Undoubtedly 1t would be magnanimous
for the Republican senators to do all in
their power toward making up to their
political opponents that which they have
lost by the sad and solemn event which
occurred at indianapolis on Wednesday
last. 1t would show a sort of great-souled
generosity which many would praise in the
most extravagant terms.
But such an election will not occur,
for the simple but quite sufficient rea-
son that it ought not. Even il the election
of1sS4 had been carried by sweeping ma
joritics due to geural uprising Of the peo-
pie, instead of by the suppression OF votes in
the south, eked out with few hundred bal
lots in New York, there would be no reason
at all, or shadow of reason, why the vacancy
occasloned by the demise of the Vice Pres
ident should be filed by Democrat elected
by Republican senators.
Sentimental gush will have nothing to do
with the choice Of the acting Vice Presi-
dents. Those who make that choice will
act upon their own responsibility as Re-
publican senators. They will understand
that II is as much their duty to vote for a
Republican as it would be If they were
making the selection originally-the selec-
tion made in 1884. Democratic senators
will not expect any such unhcard-of stretch
of courtesy, for they will understand that
senator owes political obligations to the
party which he represents.
The proprieties Of the occasion require
the election of Republican senator to be
president pro tempore of the Senate and
acting Vice President Of the United States
The fitness of Gen. Logans selection for the
place Is self-eyilent

The Presidential Succession.

A correspondent addresses this inquiry to
the editor of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,:
Now that the Vice President is dead and
there being no speaker of the House OF Rep
resentatives, who is Vice President II there
was a speaker of the House, would he at this
time be Vice President
There is no Vice President at this time,
nor can there he such an official until elected
In 1888 and inaugurated on the 4th of
March, 1859.
II there were a speaker Of the House Of
Representatives at this time he would be the
person on whom the presidency would de-
volve In case Of q vacancy In that office,
but lie would not be actually Vice President.
lie would be the representative OF district
in Congress and the presiding officer Of the
House, standing ready to ''act as President"
In case Of need.
While answering the above intcrrogatlves
II may be as well to state that the President
pro tempore Of the Senate, who under the
act Of l702 stands next to the Vice Pres-
dent In line OF succession TO the presidential
office, does not become really the Vice
President In case Of the death Of that oill-
Cluli Uut thheh MS plaCo 10 pIeslullS Olllcer
OF the Senate and in line OF succession. lie
is still a Senator and could not hold the
other place II he ceased to hold his sena-
torial connection.
The second section, article @, of the con
stitution makes 1t the duty OF Congress to
provide by law "for the case Of removal,
DEATH resignation, or inability both of the
President and Vice President, declaring
what officer shall then act as President
The act of 1892 which is repeated in sub
stance in the Revised Statutes, makes no
provision for the contingency of their death
at a time when there is no president of the
Senate or speaker Of the House of Repre-
sCntatives.
During nine months OF every alternate
year-between the death Of a Congress and
the organization Of its uccessor-there Is,
of course, no speaker, for there is no
House,
The Senate does not elect president pro
tempore unless the Vice President absents
himself and gives notice thereof. This

Reform in Atlanta.

After canvass Of almost unexampled
bitterness the city Of Atlanta has adopted
prohibition.
Judging Atlanta by other cities and the
future by the past, the experiment will
prove q failure, resulting in an aggravation
of the evils It is intended to remove.
If the good people of Atlanta would
bestir themselves against gambling as vig-
orously as they have assalled liquor selling,
their municipality would be dominated bya
more wholesome influence than that by
which It is now and has for some years been
virtually ruled.
And II the better elements Of Atlanta
her men and women OF high character, re-
flnement, and extended social influence
would turn their attention to the infamous
penal system Of their state, they might, in
time, create such a public sentiment rs
would be fatal to that damnlng blot on our
national civilization.
The reformers Of that beautiful, busy
and prosperous city have made the old mis-
take Of neglecting the practical for the i'm
practical as relates TO intempcrance. High
license would have restricted the sale Of in
toxicating drinks, would have put the bust
ness into the hands Of responsible persons,
and produced large revenues. Sham prohi-
bition will be utterly unproductive OF good,
and fruitful source of immortality and
crime.

The best day in the week on which to
advertise is saturday-the worst is Sunday.
Saturday is the best, because 1t is a semi
holiday and especially set apart for shop
ping by the ladies and for those weightier
purchases to which the gentlemen of the
household are accustomed to give personal
attention. It's the day, too, on which many
thousands Of mechanics, laborers, and
other per diem employees receive and spend
their pay. In all departments OF retail
trade Saturday is the great day of the week.
He who puts his advertisement into the
hands of n purchaser just before the buy
ing is to be done hits the mark best, for
that is precisely the time when the infor-
nation contained In the advertisement is
wanted-iust the time when it is looked
for, and when, If found, it is read, marked
and inwardly digested. If IL is furnished
before that time it is very unlikely to be
read, for II is not the custom in most fam
lilies to prepare for shopping expedition
until about the time when the procession
is TO get underway.
For these and other good reasons the
shrewd advertiser prefers Saturday to any
other of the seven days in the week as the
fittest time for special demonstration in
the newspapers. Experience has justified
extra expenditure for Saturday displays by
,,,itl tlnfr ,ot "a
through the press.
Sunday is the worst day for advertising,
because there is no trade on that day, no
looking about among the stores to see the
styles, and, for these reasons, very little
desire or occasion to read advertisements.
In this hurrying, pushing age no one cares
to sit down on Sunday to find out where tc
trade on some future day. The custom that
obtains in New York and some other cities
OF putting thousands of advertisements
into extra sheets that contain nothing else
is a foolish waste of money,
The average buyer Of one of the New
York Sunday papers isannoyed by the huge
File Of advertising sheets; his first act is
TO eliminate them from the paper proper
the sheet or sheets containing news and
editorials. In nine cases out of ten the
mass of dull, dead advertising matter is in
continently dumped. This custom help
out the trade in junk and cheapens the cos
of paper, but it brings very poor returns t.
the advertisers.
Next to Saturday, Monday is the best da.
for advertising, especially in Washington
for Monday is good trade day here, what
ever 1t may be elsewhere.

The Spanish situation.

The death of King Alfonso precipitotes
on the Spanish people a very grave crisis.
The normal condition Of that country may
be called one Of revolution aud disorder.
During the present century 1t has witnessed
succession of governmental changes, the
greatest reign of peace and stability having
been the eleven years Of the young monarch
whose career has so suddenly terminated.
Unfortunately the heir to the throne is II
child Of five years and female, and the re-
gent, her mother, is foreign princess by
no means popular with the naughty Span
iards. To add to the complication, the ad-
herents Of Don Carlos, who claims to be the
lineal and legitimate heir, and the republic
cans regard the kings death as the oppor-
tune time to press their respective claims
by open action and secret conspiracy. SO
that altogether the situation promises a
new period of civil dlseord. II not active
revolution.
Its effect upon Europe may be highly i'm
portant, The occupancy Of the Spanish
throne has in past times been a fruitful
source of discord among the European
monarchies. The war of the Spanish sue
cessious, which began at the opening of the
eighteenth century, was one of the most
bloody Of modern times, involving almost
the whole continent In the contest. Early
in the present century the dispute as to the
throne afforded a pretext for Napoleon's
intervention, which was disastrous in its
consequences for that great iconocast OF
royalty.
Again in 1898 the holy alliance Of Euro
pean soverelgns sent its armies into Spain
TO set It's favorite on the throne. And the
more recent events connected with the oc-
cupancy Of the place made vacant by Isa-
bela's Punishment In 1868, which was an
important factor in the war between Ger
many and France, are fresh in the minds OF
our readers.
But that which gives the situation the
most interest for us is its probable effect
upon Cuba. Dissension on the Spanish
peninsula has always been regarded by thu
Cuban revolutionist as his opportunity
The disorder which attended the dethronc
ment Of Isabella was taken advantage of Il
inaugurate the insurrection in that islant
which began in 1868 and dragged along TO
so many years, impoverishing the Spausl
treasury and devastating the island. Cub
to-day is in a deplorable condition iluan
clally and commercially. Civil war at hom
will most likely lead to revolt In Cuba. Eu
ropean complications may create such
state Of affairs as would precipltate upoi
the United States a grave question as to tn
future government Of that island.
1t behooves the President, the Secretar
of State, and the ruling statesmen in Con
gress to carefully ponder the situation, AM
determine line of policy for our countr
before the emergency is upon us.

Grant Clubs in Tennessee.

iowa state Register.
The Republicans of Tennessee are thor
oughbreds. They come Of fighting stock.
They stood for the Union during the war,
when price was put upon their heads.
They take the old.fashioned unadulteratcd
Republcanism for their creed, and they are
not afraid to have 1t known. Nobody ever
heard of a Mugwump in Tennessee. The
thing couldn't exist there--not at least
among the mountains of East Tennessee
the Businesses of Republican strength and
power. The devotion and fidelity Of East
Tennessee Republicans have been tested by
fire. Their Republicanism is the pure gold,
and they propose to keep 1t so.
The Republicans of East Tennessee are
now beginning work which the Republi-
cans Of other states might very well copy
They are forming Grant clubs in every
county, with central organization at
Knoxville, made up of representatives from
each county club The object Of these clubs
is to preach and propagate Republican doc
trines, to unite the members OF the party In
good working discipline, to see that the
entire party vote is brought out on election
day, and to detect and punish election
frauds to the last extent possible. They
combine in central organization which
will probably act ms the headquarters and
director Of the party. They rally around
the inspiring name of Grant, which to every
Republican, and especially to every south
ern Republican, is a name of inspiration
and power.
