ing. Solicitor M. +. Anscl was in his
seat with q batch of indictments spread
beforo him to DO acted III by tho grand
jury. Stonographor Wyatt Aiken, net
outstanding his having become a Bono
dict since last torn, is nono tho loss
efficient in making n faithful record of
tho proceedings.
Judge Fraser briefly instructed the
grand jury on tho proper manner of in.
vestigating tho county's official matters,
and thon charged on the bills of indict-
mont handed out by tho Solicitor.
No cases woro tried by tho potit jury
except whore tho defendants were in

IL must be issusd blythe Courtto which.
tho presentment is made, full provision
for which Is raado in Section II42 OF the
General Statutes.
"This Judgment is not meant to ond
The prosecutions against defendants, but
only to direct itthrough the propars chan
neis. There Is q GLASS of criminal Of
fenses, the prosecution Of which falls
| with special force on the grand jury for
the reason that no special injury Is done
! to individuals and prosecutors are apt to
fall under tho ban Of o d~isordered public
opinion, and the Court thinks these cases
belong to that class, and the grand jury
should be encouraged to mako such pre-
sentment by vigorous prosecution of the
cases. But this consideration cannot
make legal o proceeding void in itself.
1t 10 therefore hold that tho warrants
Of arrest, issued by e, L. Herndon, Trial
Justice, are illegal and void; and it is
ordered that tho defendants be dis
charged from custody" !

To the Grand Jury Of Oconce County, South
Carolina, July Term Of Court, 1902:
The undersigned, under special com
mittcc appointed t. examine tho county
offices, bog leave to report: We have
made q careful examination in person of
all tho county Offices, tho manner in
which they arc kept and the s"lye:.cy of
tho bonds of all the various officers, and
find everything in good order, tho books
in nice shape and the bonds all sufici-
emily secured.
AS to the numerous reports that hayo
como to our ears of Irregularities in the
Auditors Office, wo beg leave to report
specially that we have carefully exam
incd this Office and find that tho names
OF many poll tax payers arc on the books
more than nncn, and that this has resulted
IN tho issuing of executions by tho Trea-
suror against many persons who hold
receipts for their taxes; but wo find that
noither the Auditor northo Treasurer is
altogether to blanc for this.
The school district lines, as rccontly
established, have never been surveyed
and accurately located, tho board of
examiners not having any money at their
control for the purpose. As a consc-
quonco we find that the various school
trustees in reporting to the Auditor tho
polls i'll their district have in some cases
reported tho Same person in moro than
one district. In this way the man is
taxed twice or oftenor-sometimos undor
exactly tho same name and sometimes
under different Christian names as thor
diiforent noighbors remember thom. For
this reason, we think, many of tho mis-.
k nave boon unavoidable, and Tor
which no ono Is TO blame. We recon-
mend that the grand jury call tho alton
ton OF ho'mombers of tho Legislature
from this county to this uncertainty in
tho school district lines and ask that suf-
flcient money DO appropriated to pay tho
oxpcnso OF a survey and definite location
of such of these lines as do not follow
some natural, we'll defined landmark, as
u stream Or public road.
In looking through the Office of the
Clerk of the Court we find that certain
charters havo been issued by the Clerk
to Clubs in Walhalla, whose ostonsible
purpose is social, but whose real purpose,
VIC aro informed, is tho illicit sale OF
Intoxicating liquors. We recommend
that tho grand jury inquire furthor into
this matter with n Wow of presenting tho
persons to the court e thoy aro violating
tho law, and of presenting the matter to
tho Legislature if, rs we arc informed is
claimed by thom, thoy arc justified in
this dispensing of intoxicants undor a
recent decision of our Supreme Court.
Respectfully submitted.

Relics That Newsboys Found in q

From the Nei0 York Commercial Advertiser.
A pathetic scene wasenacted yesterday in
City Hall park. A disreputable-looking
specimen Of humanity shambled through
the melted snow and took a seat on one of
the benches. upon which the late afternoon
sun was shining. He settled down and
closed his eyes.
The newsboys who had sold their last edi-
tions caught sight of him. They put their
heads together and gesticulated as they
talked, pointing at a package which lay be-
side the man.
Stealing UP quietly they managed to take
sleeper. They carried it to the other side of
opened the paper.
Two WORKOUT little shoes were found In
side.
"Hully gee!n said one, whats dese?"
"Nawten," replied the other in tone of
disgust. THROW 'em away
And away the little shoes went over in
the direction Of Mail street. almost beneath
the heavy wheels of a mail van.
The first boy thought for one instant.
Then like flash he rushed out in the mud
seized the shoes and hurried back to do them
up ag ain in the worn paper.
Eylng a sparrow policeman carefully, be
crept up and laid the parcel where it had
been before.
The tramp was still sleeping. When be
awoke he picked up the package gently and
wandered off in the' direction Of Central
park.

CaNGAAIna AhOoAs
DUBLIN, GA, March I2-The Macon,
Dublin and Savannah railroad is nothing
if not enterprising. Friday morning she put
a force of hands to work under D. b. Dunn,
chief engineer, to make a connection with
the Wrightsville and Tennille railroad
They are only a few yards apart. Then the
fun commenced AS soon as the Macon,

bailiff approached MIR. Dunn and placed
him under arrest, telling him that he had a
warrant for him. Mr.. Dunn demanded
that the warrant be read TO him. The
bailiff had the misfortune of not being able
to read. and telling MIR. Dunn, ''you are

Mr.. Dunn landed in ditch, the bailiff on

Mr.. Dunn off, telling the baiif that be

gone into at once. and Judge Chappell. after
hearing the evidence, discharged Mr. Dunn
and the hands from custody. Matters are
IN status quo, and at this writing the
Wrightsville and Tennille railroad has a
whole train run out on the ends of their
track, and the railroad commission will
now take hand. as IL is their inning. It is
understood that the Macon, Dublin and

order of the railroad commission, asking
them to show cause why junction had not
been made at this point between the two
roads, as it would be a saving Of expenses

companies in Georgia, are steadily increas.

members IN the company. In addition TO the
many compliments paid the Riffs by Lieut..
Satterlee during the recent inspection, be
pays them another. After inspecting the
companies in the Fourth Georgia regi uent,
he says that the Waycross Rifles are ahead

which is duly app -eciated, for in the Fourth

Wares Fruit Industry.

WAYCRoss, GA. March 12.-Within the
last few years the fruit industry has grown
TO considerable proportions in Ware county.
There is scarcely field, garden or yard
where the luxuriant pear tree does not
grow. The soil and climate are especially
adapted 20 this crop, though other fruits
can be grown with almost equal success. Il.
W. Reed, proprietor Of the Cherokee rur.
series hiss several orchards OF different varie-
ties Of pears. DR.. Williams W. A. Cason and
James Knox own orchards which are un-
equaleds In beauty and regularity Of growth.
These trees are all in bloom and present a
lovable appearance. The general impression
ID that there will be large fruit crop this
year. While admitting tnat there scarcely
ever comes two successful fruit years
in succession, the growers are
inclined to believe that this year will be an
exception. The cold can hardly do auy
damage until the forms are on the trees.
The past winter has not been an extremely
mild one, and for this reason, it Is though,
that the worst part Of the cold weather is
over
