The Grand Jury Presentm ent.


The report OF the Grand Jury with
reference to the Poor House reveals
rather bad state OF affairs. 1t is not our
purpose to try to fix the responsibility ;
but we have seen the Physician and the
Clerk OF the Board Of County
Commissioners so that any state
ment they may wish to make may go
out with the prcscntment.
DR.. Glider, the Physician, says that his
contract with the County Commission
ers is to visit the Poor House once a
week and oftener if necessary. He has
gone regularly every week and has not
gone oftencr because he did not consider
it necessary, and was not sent for. He
SAYS the two frost-bitten pauperS are
idiots-onc an epileptic and that ne
has treated them for frost-blte. vi
course the Physician is not to blame for
their being frost-bitten.
As to the need of bedding etc, Mr..
Goggans informs MS that the County
Commissioners authorize the keeper to
buy what is needed for the paupers, and
they pay the bills. We understand that
the Keeper says that if there has been
any fault in this regard he is to blame
and not the Commissioners. But we
have not had an opportunity to see the
Keeper.-NepbeYry Observer.
Mr.. Leitzsey, the Keeper, says that
he has done everything in his power to
take the proper care Of the paupers and
has given them every attention in his
power. That the two who are frost Bit
ten are idiots, that were returned from
the Asylum and unless they were put
under guard OF lock and key it would be
impossible to keep them from exposing
themselves to the cold.

Court.

Our account of the Court IN our last
issue was cut off before the Sessions was
finished, as we 60 to press on Wednes-
d Y morning, and the criminal business
was not finished until near y o'clock
on Wednesday,. ....
In the case OF Job Cannon, found
guilty OF manslaughter and recommend
ed to mercy, the Judge sentenced him
to the penitentiary for three years.
In the case of Cal. Maynard and Henry
Stevens, tried for COW stealing, and in
which there had been two mistrials, the
Solicitor noll pressed and the defendants
were discharged.
The Presentment OF the Grand Jury
and Special Orders were then heard and
the Sessions Court was adjourned.
Owing to the small number OF crimi-
nal cases, a considerable amount OF
work was done on the civil side last
week. Judge Kershaw is pushing busi-
ness along very rapidly, and we hope
our Court Calendars Will be considera-
bly, relieved.
The following jury cases were tried

with $4,000 from Newherry, the Au-

Tsis road will be extended from here

bids fair to secure railroad connections

rhe Teachers, ASSOCIATION.

We had the pleasure Of attending the
Teachers Association on last Saturday.
The meeting was not large in numbers,
but those present seemed to take an ac-
tive interest in the Association, and the
discussions were full and good. Mr.. j.
e. Caldwell read good paper on the
model school house.
Prof. Welch delivered an excellent
lecture on Penmanship.
The Association will meet again the
first Saturday in April, and by that time
the weather will be good, and it Is hoped
every teacher in the county VIII be
present. The adYisability OF Teach
erss Institute OF weeks duration has
been spoken of for the summer, and we
hope will receive favorable action at the
hands of our teachers.

SaIuda Bridges.

Mr.. Jas. K. P. Goggans, Clerk OF the
Board of County Commissioners, has re-
ceiyed a reply to his letter addressed to
the Commissioners of Edgefield some
time ago in the matter of the bridges
across the Saluda River at Chappell's and
Bouknight's. The Edgefeld Commits
appoint next Thursday, 18th inst,
as the day when they will meet the New
berry Commissioners at Bouknight,S
Ferry, to consider the question OF bulld-
ing these bridges.
We would like very much to see these
bridges built, and hope this meet;
ing- may result in the adoption OF
some plan by which the construction
may be commenced at an early day.
We apprehend, however, that the great
obstacle il the way of their construction
will be the money to pay for them. The
Legislature has directed and empowered
the Commissioners to build them, but as
they see the law, appropriated no money
to pay for their construction.
