Grand Jury's Presentment.

To the Honorable j. B. Kershaac, Presiding
Judge of the Eighth judicial Circuit, at A:a'
derson, S. c.:
The Grand Jury at this the second Term
of their service beg leave to submit the
following report:
That the Committee appointed at the last
term of tn, Court to investigate the records
of the var. ,us County officials and their
bonds, have performed that duty, and
report that they found all the County
offices we'll kept and the official bonds
given by those of whom bonds are required
good and sufficient.
We have also during this Term, by a
Committee of our number, visited the Poor
House and County j all and find them prop
erly kept.
The following Trial Justices have sub
mitted their Dockets for inspection u. G.
G. Featherston, w. F. Cox, B. F. Shirley,
J. A. Major, R. B. A. Robinson. Larkin
Newton, s. A. Brown, j. D. sitton, J. l..
Bryan, Jeptha Watkins, W. II. d. Gaillard,
W. F. M. FAINT. 8. P. Tate, A. E. scudday
and w. E. Walters. We find that two of
these, to.wit: ]. G. c. Featherston and W.
F. Cox, take the receipt of the County
Treasurer for fines upon their criminal
Dockets, SO that the Docket shows the COM
plete transactionsin each case. The others,
it appears, have been accustomed 10 taking
loose receipts from the County Treasurer
for all fines paid over, some making note
of said payments on their dockets, and
some making no memorandum thereof at
all. AS it is very inconvenient for the
Grand Jury to look over loose receipts, we
recommend all the Trial Justices in the
County take the receipt of the County
Treasurer for fines paid over on their
criminal Docket We further recommend
that the Trial Justices who have failed to
submit their books for inspection ut this
Term of the Court be required TO do so at
the next term.
The road leading from Evergreen to
Dooley's Ferry has been reported to us as
having been neglected, and we recommend
that the County Commissioners investigate
the matter and take such action in the
premises as they may think best.
In our last general presentment we called
the attention of the Court to the rice ponds
on Big and Little BeaYerdam Creeks, in
Hopewell Township, and recommended
that the Instructions in said streams for
overhowing the lands be removed. We
are informed that while some of the OBJ
structions have been removed, that there
are still distractions at some points, and
others are preparing to cultivate rice in the
low lands by erecting embankments for
the purpose of retaining the rains and pre-
venting the natural flow of the water. We
recommend that the Solicitor take such
steps as he may think necessary to improve
the sanitary condition of that neighbor-
hood. We further recommend that the
County Commissioners enforce strictly the
law requiring all landowners to remove all
trash and timber from their streams.
In conclusion, we return OUT thanks to
his Honor, the Judge, to the Solicitor and
other officers of the Court for courtesies
shown during the Term of the Court.
Respectfully submitted
G. B. GILMER, Foreman.

his relation, who saw from Jolly's action
that something was wrong. Glancing
through the woods he saw regiment of
negro soldiers coming through the woods.
Jolly saw that it was too late for him to
get his horse, as the black troops were
nearly to where the animal was hitched,
and they had begun firing at jolly. He
ran through the woods, the soldiers shoot
ing at him all the time. His mother was
in the church and tainted when she heard
the report of the guns. The soldiers,
after capturing Jollys horse, left and had
not been gone many minutes before Jolly
had called together few of his followers,
who were desperate men, and followed
after the soldiers. Jolly's mother and
the preacher all tried to stop him, but it
was no use. His blood was up and he
intended to pay them back for shooting at
him and stealing his horse. They had a
skirmish with the negro soldiers and sew
eral of them bit the dust. Next morning
Jolly rode into Anderson: s.. c., and in
formed the commanding officer that un-
less his horse was sent to his house the
next day that he would kill him and five
of his men. The officer knew the man
he had to deal with and sent the horse to
his house. Five thousand dollars was
offered for Jolly, and squads of cavalry
were continually securing the country,
but they always came back minus one or
two of their men, who were marked
"killed" on the muster roll. The horse,
"Dixie," that he rode on all of his raids,
was thoroughbred racer, and it was
foolishness for any common steed to try
and catch him. The horse was well
trained, and Jolly could make him come
by q shrill whistle. The horse would not
allow any one to approach him after dark
except Jolly. If a stranger came near,
he would get perfectly frantic and kick
and bite as long as they were in reach.
Nance Jolly has several relatives still
living in franklin and Elbert Counties.
His history was written and published in
Harper's Magazine, and is said to be very
thrilling and interesting.

Wants to Know What a Dude Is.

ToNEY CREEK P. o., S. G.
Mr.. EDITOR: As our school teacher is
resting until the public schools open
again, I can't find out what Dude is;
and as editors know heap of things, I
want you to tell me the meaning of the
word OIL what Dude is. The Calhoun
correspondent of the Honea Path Plain
dealer said we had genuine live Dude in
this section. Is it man who wants
Office? or. is it a widower who wants to
marry? or is it anything that will hurt
people? If it will hurt folks, I want to
know it, as my wife has some relations
that wander about considerably, and she
does not want them hurt or scared.
Times and fashion change so often that
I am in the dark about some things.
When I was boy We had parties; when
was young man the name was changed
to dances, but now they are called socia-
bles. And now they have something they
call Dude. If you can inform us what
it is, please do so, for you can see from
the way I write that I am
IGNORANT.
I'VE can't give our friend the true def
milton of the word "Dude," as it has not
yet been given place in Webster's die
tionary. The term, however, is applied
to smart(?), dandy young man, who
imagines all the girls are in love with
him, and who thinks the position of his
cravat, the ''set" of his pants or the neat
ness o. ais hair more important than
anything else in the world.-LocAL Ed

A CoLoaEp pEsPERAnn.
The Record OF Charles Ford .wantedv
Here.

In the fall of 1880 a Mississippi river
steamboat was taking on a few bales of
cottonat a plantation landing in lsaquena
county, Mississippi.
1t was very late in the afternoon as the
roustabouts rolled the last bale over the
gang plank. AS the boat began 10 leave
the shore there came a sound of hurrying
feet, and from the plantation fields a ne
gro appeared on the full run. With a
terrific bound he cleared the rapidly wide
nlng distance between the boat ana the
bank, and landed amid the ro~ustabouts
gathered about the bows. Picking him.
sell up the negro cast Il look of terror at
the dark forest back of the cleared feel Is
Of the plantation. The deck hands
crowded about him, but he could not be
got to say anything in explanation Of the
singularly prompt manner in which he
ha taken his passage.
The captain and ma.c and a curious
crowd OF passengers came around, but the
negro maintained an obstinate silence.
Even when the captain ordered the mate
to put him ashore at the next landing. he
IN ide no remark. In about an hour a
SIN Ill tow on the Louisiana side of the
river was reached, and here the negro was
put on shore. 1t might have been fancy,
but some of the passengers who were
watching him thought they detected a Pc
culiar CLEAN of satisfaction lurking in the
whites Of his eyes, as he lett the boat at
the command of the mate.
He disappeared among the crowd
OF the landing, and the boat continued
down the river.
The next morning early, as the boat
landed at a Mississippi town, she was
boarded by deputy sheriff and posse, who
made inquiry for the negro who had ar
rived in so sudden a manner the evening
before, and it was learned who he was.
His name was Sam johnson. and he had
under very small provocation, seriously
stabbed another negro, for which crime he
was a fugitive, closely pursued when he
.eaped aboard the boat.
This Sam johnson, the savage negro oil
Mississippi, is one and the same with
Charles Ford, the brutal negro of Chey-
enne, whom our police would like to see
on several charges, and who was last
heard from a week or so ago in Kansas
City.
After his escape from the Mississippi
officers, johnson worked North, and the
first place we again hear of him is in St
Louis where, under the name Tom Beebe,
he brutally beata colored woman. Leaving
st. Louis, Beebe drilted to Omaha as
Bob Newcomb. Here he was accused of
s%lugging and robbing a rural stranger, and
shaking the Nebraska dust from his bro
gans, turned up in Denver as Andrew
White. Nothing is known of his Denver
record, but it could not have been first
class, as when he made his appearance in
Wyoming, he was addressed as Charles
Ford.
