CuHMniA. S: c., June 27.-Judgc Fra.
zcr today filed decision declaring the
grand jury at the recent term of court and
the previous one illegal. The grounds are:
lhc seal OF court is not on the same page
as the writ directed to the sheriff and is
not the seal to the vcnirc; it does not ap-
pear that the person who made service on
the jurors was deputy Of the sheriff, or
that he was any other than private per
son; some OF the summonScs were left at
the places Of business, while the statute
prescribcs that they shall he delivered i'm
person or at the place of abode.
Inc order goes on to say that "Onlccrs
OF the court have no right to substitute any
practice, however general or of long stand
my, when there are plain provisions of
law, and when the irregularities are object
ed to and brought to the attention of the
court, the objections must be sustained"
The Judges order quashcs the writ Of
ycnire and discharges the grand iurics
This will bring about great change in the
method of serving notices on jurics.-Spc-

Re Kind.

"Aim to be kind" says Horace Mann
generous, magnanmols" II there is n
boy in school who has a club-foot, don't
let him know you ever saw it. If there is
a poor boy with ragged clothes, don't talk
about rags in his hearing. If there is a
lame boy, assign him some part of the
game which docs not require running. If
there is hungry one, give him part OF your
dlnncr. If there is dull one help him to
learn his lesson. If there is brig one,
De not cnvious of him; for if one boy is
pfoHd or his talents and another is cnvious
of them, they are two great wrongs md
no mole talent than before. If n birycr or
stronger boy has injured you and is sorry,
forgive him, and request the teacher not to
punish him. 1t is much better to have q
kind hcalt than great fist.

OUR FARMERS.

just now it seems as if the newspaper
writers and public speakers are determined
to prove that our agriculturists arc n poor
down-troddcn, starving class. This NAV be
so insomc OF the northwestern States where
the farmers have over reached themselves
in their dealings with money lenders, in
their cndcavOr to make the west opnoor
more prosperous than the South and east.
That tho farmer of the South is the poorcs,
of our citizens we deny. The farmers of
this section arc today in better shape than
any other class. They arc less in debt.
have better credit and arc in every wav
more prosperous than they arc represented
10 oc. They have more ready money and
produce on hand out of which to make
money, than was ever known ut this season
OF the year. Very few of our farmers have
been compelled to borrow money to run
them this season. They have only applied
for loans where they wished to hold their
crops for better prices. Quite number
have money on hand and at interest with
men III other business. The young farmers
OF Pickcns county are far more prosperous
than their classmates of few years ago,
VINO have left the farms and sought to make
Il livelihood in business or the profess
slons. Many of these young men have
money to lend and own good FARMS all
made from the profits of the farm. Those
who are in business have worked lust as
hard and have been rs economical in every
way, but their incomes have been less sure
and reliable.
There is no need for any one to come to
this county and preach poverty, for the
facts will not bear them out. Pickcns
county is prosperous and tho outlook for the
future is yet more bright. Only politicians
talk "poor farmer" and we do not need
them here. Our interest is in good honest
work to build up the county and thus bcnc-
fit tho State and Government

EX-SENATOR PAUL.
He Is Interviewed on the Non-Citizen Per
NIT Question in the Chickasuw Nation.
a Friend of the White Farmer.
Special TO the Gazette.

Specl3l 10 the Gazette.
ARDMoRE, L T., April 29-Ex-Seuator
Sam Paul, one of the leading progressive
Indians in the Chickasaw ration, was in
this city to-day, and when interviewed by a
GAZETTE reporter on the "permit ques-
ton" which is exciting SO much interest
throughout the Nation at this time, owing
to the recent action of the authorities AT
Washington. regarding the eiectment of the
so-cailed intruders, said: y have always
advised non-citizens to pay their permits
II is Just and right that they should do So
When l was in Washington lest summer
Interceded for these men, claiming that
many influences We're brought to bear in
this country TO prevent these parties from
paving permits. The landlord himself is at
fault to "a great extent, as the law REQUIRES
each citizen to pay 50 annually for permit
for each non-Citizen employed under him
over the age of eighteen years. The failure
10 exact this permit by the citizen
ana the utter failure heretofore on the part
of the government to enforcing the permit
law is the cause of so many tenants refus-
ina to comply with the law. IL would cause
great suffering among the poorer classes to
eject them from their homes ard CROPS at
this time, as il IS now too late TO rent land
and put IN q crop elsewhere. Many nom
citizens believe the Chickasaw government
has no right TO collect 4 permit, but this is
4 mistake, and when they understand the
matter rightly have no doubt the majority
OF them would then be glad for the privilege
of paying for permit. When questioned
rs to what disposition would be made Of
the vast improvements placed upon the
Indian lands, MIR. Paul said the improve
ments would revert to the citizens under
whom the contract is let.
AS Senator Paul is large land owner and
has large number of tenants, his influence
in the matter is expected to have consider
able weight. He is a friend to the white
farmer in the Chirkasaw Nation and gives
them credit for doing great good to the
Indians by cultivating their lands, but does
not justify them in refusing to comply with
the ChickaSaw law.

Pork Packing and Provisions.

The Cincinnati Price Current says the
Western packing continues of small vol
ume, the returns for last week indicating
total of 1S5, coo hogs, against 255,0o0 for
corresponding period last year. From
March the total is 1880, 900, against 1880, :
600, the gain this season being 10000
which will soon disappear. Besides the
fact that the marketable supply of hogs is
now comparatively limited, the movement
is more or less interfered with BY bad con-
dition of roads in the West and the urgency
OF farming matters upon the attention Of
farmers. The current manufacture of
product is largely short of the distribution
for consumption and export. Last weeks
export clearances were again large, with
considerable gain in bacon compared with
corresponding period last year.
The high prices for hogs is discouraging
feature 10 packers, and large number of
them do not care to operate just now, in
view OF the expectation of more plentiful
supplies, better quality and possibly lower
prices next month. During the past week
prices of hogs have been fairly well main
tanned most of the time, but at the close are
generally 10000, per 100pounds lower than
week ago. In the provision trade the mar
kets have been firm as rule, but are easier
at the close and somewhat lower than
week age.
