While the plan OF receiving the capieai
stock in FIVE annual instalments may incon-
venience the officers for awhile, yet we feel
perfectly certain that the plan Is n good one
for the stockholders. The plan seems to he a
kind of savings institution, by which the
poorer members of society can finally secure
bank stock. 1t will encourage economy and
thrift, and in the end will prove blessing Ia
many For this reason, we think it well for
every man to take some stock, and then
strive to make the payments as they become

such an investment and the benefits TO he

Whatever motives may prompt Speaker
Reed, and his Republican friends in Congress
he appears to be clearly in the right in his
ruling in reference TO the quorum.
Democratic members, it seems to US, have
no right to be present, participate in debate
vote on q question of adjournment, and then
claim that no quorum is present, by su!!ling
and refusing TO vote when the real question Is
being put, thus stopping the progress OF the
business OF the Congress.
We know nothing OF the merits Of the con-
test between the Democratic and the Itcpubli
can claimant for the disputed seat from West
Virginia, but We do believe that Speaker Reed
is right In maintaining thata quorum is pres
ent. when the fact warrants him in 50 doing.
We hope, therefore, that South Carolina may
vote and be present whenever she is there.

prcscntment OF the Grand Jury.

TO the Honorable A. p. Aldrich, Pre-
siding Judge, January Term, 1890:
We the Grand JhY beg leave to
make the following Presentment:
We have examined by committees
from our body the Poor House, Jail
and the Court House. We find the
buildings of the Poor House in good
condition-among them a nice little
chapel for the convenience of the paul
pers to worship if--building is new
and We recommend that it be painted.
The grounds around the Poor House
neatly kept tic inmates contented
and we'll cared for. We are Of the
opinion that some needed change in
the list of the paupcrs, might well be
made. We recommend that Wash
Gordon he discharged, and in the mat
ter of Betty Findiey and others, a COM
mittee from this Grand Jury was ap-
pointed to ascertain if they are proper
persons TO be inmates of the Poor
House, report to the next term of the
court.
The committee on the Jail made O
thorough examination of the building
and find it in good condition, except
some repairs, which are now being
made by the County Commissioners.
We find the Jail well kept, the prison.
ers as comfortable as the surroundings
will admit.
Next we visited the county officers
and as far rs our examination went we
found their Offices in good condition,
and we'll kept. The Treasurer, School
Commissioner and County Commits.
sioners handed in their annual reports
of the financial condition Of the coun-
ty which were received rs information.
We also examined the Transcripts of
the Trial Justices which were before
us. They seem to be correct. In the fu-
ture we would recommend TO some or
them more careful itcmizing OF their
accoupts.
It has been brought to the attention
OF the GrandJury that on or about the
a..d inst. near AbbcTille c. H., Anselm
Nelson was killed, and we recommend
that the proper authorities take steps
to bring the offending parties to JUS
ticc.
We recommend in the future that all
public printing ami stationery be sub
nittpti to bids, and given to the lowest
responsible bidder.
rendering our thanks to your Honor,
the Solicitor, ana the officers OF the
Court for courtcsirs showd us.

Remarkable Fact.
The Edoeheld Chronicle is responsible

The Edosneld Chronicle is responsible for
the following statement:
"One day last week. in less than month
after the fire, Capt. Lake paid to Mr.. Jas. b.
Tompkins 81 900, insurance In full, without
ndjuster and without scaling, upon his dwell
ing house lately burned to the ground. In
less than month, without adjuster and
without scaling"
The idea of insurance men paying their
policies is noticed now and then by the coun
try press. and If this thing goes on it may no,
be long time before insurance people will
pay their debts just like anybody else and the
fact will occasion no more comment than
would the same act, if performed by any
body else.
In this County hundreds of private individ
uals have recently discharged their obliga.
tions. but as it Is not strange for them to act
thus, the coun ty newspapers have made ne
notice OF the fact. But we submit that 1t is
news when fire insurance company pays III
without asking an abatement, or some othe,
method of avoiding the payment in full o
their policies.

Senator Hampton and Those VINO
Misrepresent Him.

Senator Hampton has made big speech in
Congress on the subject Of dcporting the he
gro. AS usual with Senator Hampton, hc
charges somebody with not telling the truth.
This time it is Senator Iugalls who is un-
worthy of belief We know nothing at all OF
Mr.. Ingalls, character for 'veracity, but ii
seems unfortunate that our respected Senator
so often falls into such hands. The newspa-
per reporters misreprescnt him. The North.
ern Generals SANDER him. The Post Master
General Is Il regular Ananias, while Senator
ingalls, Is unworthy Of belief, and the Lord
only knows how many other liars Senator
Hampton has come in conflict with since the
war. We do wish they would let Haml.
ton alone.
