Suspension of the Augusta Gazett,

The suspension Of the augusta Daily Gazette
is announced. 1t Is to be hoped that 1t is we'll
with the infant
That paper, We believe, was started last
summer for the chief purpose of breaking
down the good old Chronicle, which has lived
for hundred years, and to injure the good
name of the Hon. Patrick Walsh. That war
faro did not furnish sufficient pap to sustain
the infant. and 1t is dead. Mr.. Walsh, like
the storm-tossed oak, has taken deeper hold
on the people because Of the storm which
ragged against him, and projectors Of new pa
pers may learn a useful lesson from the expe-
rience Of the little paper which has just turn
cd up its toes. A newspaper to succeed must
possess more merit than spite. Spite is poor
thing on which to establish newspaper.

PREsENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY.
The State Of South Carolina, County
of AbbeviIIe, February Term, 1888.
In tie Court Of Gone raj Sessions.

The State Of South Carolina, County
of AbbeviIIe, February Term, 1883.
In the Court OF General Sessions.
To the Honorable j. j. Norton, Pre-
siding Judge.
The grand jury respectfully submit
the following presentment
We have examined carefully into
the condition of the county Jail and
the poor-house and report that in
reference to the Jail the prisoners are
properly attended to and the premises
in very satisfactory condition. AS
to the poor-house the contractor seems
to be faithfully carrying out his con-
tract. The inmates being comfortably
clothed and housed and provided with
suitable accommodations generally.
There are present thirty-eight inmates
therein.
We recommend that an orchard be
set out by the inmates under direction
of the superintendent without cost to
the county.
We desire to call the attention of
the County Commissioners to the fact
that the public roads in many places
are trespassed upon by adjacent land
owners in the cultivation of their
crops and we recommend that they
direct the highway superintendents to
mark out with furrows the road beds
and prosecute vigorously those that
trespass thereupon.
The grand jury beg leave to report
that we have examined with some
care the books of the Trial Justices
and would report that we find the
charges of these officers against the
State very largely reduced as against
former years. Three of the Trial
Justices made no charge at all, whilst
others are largely reduced. We COM
mend these officers for this saving to
the State. We would note in some
cases that more witnesses are bound
over than necessary, thus running up
unnecessary cost against the State.
Two or three good witnesses are suffi-
cient.
We have appointed a committee to
examine with care the offices in the
Court House and to employ an expert
if necessary and report at June term
Of the present year.
The committee above referred to are
G.. A. Visanska, S. w. Cochran, #. w.
Morton, w. H. Frazier.
Respectfully submitted,
! w. H. FRAZIER,
Foreman.

The Nerve Of a Dying Man.

Young Edward Camden of Staunton,
who was killed while coupling a Car in
the Norfolk & Western Ry. yard at Salem,
some days since, showed wonderful
nerve. Two wheels passed over both
thighs, crushing them to jelly. To ex-
tricate him. both wheels had to be run
over his body again, and then before he
was gotten out four cars broke loose from
the train and ran over his mangled limbs
He was fully conscious all the time and
did not make cry of pain or a complaint.
When he was at last gotten out,h quietly
removed a chew of tobacco from his
mouth and threw it away with the remark
chat he would never take one again.
When the surgeons amputated the shreds
of his mangled legs he took no an@sthetic
but merely an opiate, and up to the time
of his death, at noon next day, never
made a complaint.

Important Suit Decided.

AT the recent term of the Circuit Court,
Judge Mclaughlin decided the case of
Knightley VS.. City of Staunton, in favor of the
plaintiff. 1t seems that Knightley bought
tract of land some years ago from the
Donaghe estate, and that two years thereaf-
ter the city bought from the same estate, a
tract of land above Knightley, upon which the
water works are now located. The stream of
water which flowed through Knightley's at the
time of his purchase was diverted by Staun-
ton to the reservoir and pump-house. The
court held that the diversion was unlawful
and granted an injunction VS.. the city, but
allows time for the purchase or condemnation
of the water right. Maj Elder and A. G.
Braxton, Represented the city and John N.
Opie, represented Mr.. Knightley. A suit for
$1,000 damages was also brought by Knight
ley against the city which is yet to be tried.
