Rcport of the Grand Jury.

To the Hon. James Aldrich, Pre-
siding Judge, August Term OF
Court for Edgefield county:
We, the Grand Jurors of Edge
field county, having passed upon
all bills of indictment presented
to US, beg leave to make the follow
ing presentment:
We respectfully present the re-
poct of the special investigating
committee appointed at the March
term of court, to investigate the
public offices, ETC., and that the
same has been adopted as part OF
this presentment.
We beg leave to call the atten-
ton of the court to tie fact that
certain necessary and important
repairs to the jail, made in our re-
port at The March term, have not
been attended to, and we ask that
the proper officials attention be
called to look after the same at
once.
Complaint has been made to US
by certain taxpayers of Shaw
Township and also Trenton School
District, that there is a discrep'
ancy existing il reference to taxes
having been paid on certain rail

loan of $4,000 to meet the cur
rent county expenses for this fiscal
year, ending Nov. 1st, '94. They
also inform your committee that
there is no past indebtedness
against the county.
County Auditor Haltiwanger has
his books in commendable shape,
and exhibits to the satisfaction OF
your committee a thorough under
standing of the intricate duties OF
his office. His office is neatly kept,
but the furniture and conveniences
therein are totally unfit for the
needs of their office. The total tax:
able personal property of the
county for 1s99-'94 is valued at
81, ,346,5.0; value of realty, $S,s71.-
O4O. The railroads and corpora
tions are not included in the above
amount, the returns therefor not
yet all received by the Auditor,
but his books so far as be has been
able to complete them, show an
increase in the total value of real
and personal property of $14O,55O
over that of 1S92-'93.
Owing to the absence of the
County Treasurer and School Com
missioner, your committee were
unable to make as thorough an ex-
animation into th-ir respective
offices as they wished, and ask
that further time be allowed to re-
port at the next November term OF
court.
We note, with fear of the conse-
ouences, the total insuficiency for
fire protection and safe keeping OF
valuable papers aud books in sew
eral of the county Offices; there
being really no safety at all in the
Clerk of the Conrt's, Sher.ff's, and
County Commissioners offices, said
offices being without even iron
safes. Your committee think 1t
very important that these offices
should have good safes furnished
them at once.

mend that the County Commission
ers be instructed to employ an ex-
pert accountant to make complete
and full settlement on the same,
and that no further levy be made
against the taxpayers interested
therein until said settlement is
made.
We have examined the Trial
Justice books presented to us, and
find the same in very good condi-
ton; but we recommend that here
after the Trial Justices be required
to present their books in person,
so that they can be examined more
carefully by the Grand Jury, and
attention be called to the great ex-
pense imposed upon the county by
sending up trivial cases that thew
should dispose nf in their own
courts. Certain Trial Justices hav-
ing failed to present their books
for examination, we commend that
they present the same at the No
vember term or a rule be issued
against them to show cause why
they refused to submit the same
for investigation.
Complaint has been made to us
of the following facts: That on OF
about the 3Oth day of April, 1894
the following named persons, to
wit: Rev. J. G. Derrick, John But

Weaver, Mary Butler, and two chill
dren of Richard and Shady Weaver
we're poisoned by one Pink alias
Tink Hill, and that said Hill sub
sequedtly made full confession
of the same in the presence of re-
liable witnesses. Said Hill was
arrested and held in custody by
certain citizens of the vicinity un-
til they could get F. V. Cooper,
ESQ.,, Trial Justice for the judicial
district, to issue a warrant and
commitment for the same, that
said Trial Justice and his deputy
(his son, Cooper) by their gross
neglect and carelessness, allowed
said prisoner, Pink alias Tink Hill,
to escape; we therefore recon-
mend that the Solicitor be request
ed to take such action as is neces-
sary in the case, and that John r,
Salter, DR.. J. J. Kirksey, Elbert
Graham, Tom Hill, John Dozler,
and Armstead Hill are material

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
To Hon. w. S. Allen, Foreman,
and members of the Grand Jury !:
Gentlemen-Your committee ap-
pointed at the last March term of
court to inspect the county offices
and records thereof, beg leave to
submit the following:
1st. The Clerk of Courts office
we report as having an old end
dingy appearance as to its furnl-
ture and walls, and reflects upon
those of our county officials, whose
duty it is to see that the county
offices are provided with neat and
suitable furniture, and kept IN a
more comfortable condition. We
call attention to the tables, desks,
and cases, and especially the cell
ing and walls, that should be re-
paired at once. Mr.. Hill, the etfl-
cicnt Clerk of Court, has his books
and records in good order, and
kept in a commendable manner.
He reports having received since
the 1st of November last: fines
imposed by the court $247.65, and
from hawkcrs and pedlers $780,
a. total of $3OO.95, for which he
holds the County Treasurer's re-
ceipt. Of the one hundred and fiye
pension checks issued, all have
been delivered except five, viz,
Ellen Matthews, Polly Whittle,
Elizabeth DeLoach, M. A. McDan-
iel, and Nancy Berry, which are
still in the hands of the Clerk, un-
called for by proper persons.
In the Sheriff's office we find the
furniture, etc., in even a worse
condition than in the Clerks office,
in lack of office facilities. We find
the books in excellent order, show
ing that the duties Of the office are
properly and efficiently discharged.
The Sheriff reporls no funds on
hand.
Judge of Probate Allen has his
office in fine order, books, records
ETC., making a creditable exhibit
His index book is much worn from
long use, and we recommend that
he be furnished a new book tor
that purpose, and that he be allow
ed proper compensation for rein
dexing the same. He reports $2lo
on hand belonging to the estate OF
NJ. A. Schcnks, on deposit IN the
Farmers Bank, of Edgefield.
The office of W. F. Roath, Mas
ter, has a bright, cleanly, and busl-
ness-like appearance; his books
without blur or blot. and all The
evidences of being correctly and
properly kept. He reports funds
on hand belonging to sundry estates
amounting to $1,35S.23, which he
has on deposit in the Farmers
Bank, of Edgefeld.
The County Commissioners
Looks, as far as we are able to ex-
anime, are in good order. The
books show that they expended for
county purposes for the fiscal year
ending Nov. 1st, 1898, the sum of
$16,647.4S. Of this amount they
paid for jail expenses, $1,192.2O;
for Poor House, $1,767.15; physl-

Republican for congress, Grandma Morford IS led to make the observation that ''Dr Goodrich has evidently failed to put up.'" Grandma's little mind runs to poodle. But that is excusable when it is remembered that she lives chiefly from poodle. Grandma's caDdi- date for congress secured for her $7, 800 for $500 job; and besides signed war rants in her favor for large sum of money, on account of which suit will soon be commenced to have re- turned to the territory. And paren- thetically we might add that Grand mas candidate for congress signed war rants for money m favor of himself, which the attorney general will soon commence suit to have returned to the treasury. A pretty outfit to talk about poodle and pretty candidate for con- gress! What kind of a figure would the Republicans cut in campaign with gang of that kind to carry? THE REPUBLICAN is still for any honest, rep utable Republican who has the conf- denee of his party and can be elected. It is not for Grandma's candidate be- cause he does not answer that descrip- ton. Dr. Goodrich and number of other Republicans do, however, fill the specifications named.

TIE REPUBLICANS of Maricopa county have but one candidate to present to the territorial convention for delegate to congress. His name is L. II. Good rich. They are for him because they believe he is the most available man. They are for him because he is an honest man. They are for him because his private and public record is clean. They are for him because he has the means, ability and inclination to make 8 vigorous campaign. These facts ought to secure for him the nomination, but if in the wisdom of the convention some other Republican of good char acter, of an unbiemished public and private reputation is nominated he will receive their hearty support on election day. That is the situation briefly ex- pressed,

THE WARM weather admonishes us that the sultry summer season has set in and that diet, clothing, exercise and labor should be regulated accordingly. Persons in fair health who live temper ately may reduce the discomforts of the season to @ minimum, and at the same time extract their full share of the en- joyInent which summer brings in it's train. This is not the time to stint sleep nor drink too much cold beverages, even when non-alcoholic. Common sense will dictate how to dress and what diet to follow. Bathing is both a necessity and 8 luxury in such weather as we are experiencing. being both wholesome and comforting. Above all this IS the time to drop all worries, as well as one may be able. There are many petty annoyances that may read fly be banished simply by ceasing to think about them.

WHERE IF FALLS.

What hope can we have in our gov ernment that it is any better than any other form when we see the people sui fering under the same conditions of in- equality that they have suffered under in all times. We may truly say that the people can change their condition. They can, but will they? And may there not a time come when it will be too late? Our nation is already so large that it is very difficult to get re- form ideas in motion, and at our gen. eral elections one of the great states decides the question.
 It will be admitted that enormous abuses, great wastefulness, have char acterized some administrations that have been kept in power for many terms. The abuses have been notori- ous and exposures have been shocking. Yet it has come to this pass that ex- posture is useless. Party spirit so gov erns us from township up to nation that no man will change his vote on account of the corruption of his party, because he knows that the other party IS just as bad. Moreover 1t looks worse of all, the people will not believe when warned of the consequences. And when the results are seen all around them the people are still incredulous and will listen to demagogues who tell them lies to blind them as to the cause. Misgovernment-wh means extrava- gance, negligence, high taxes on the articles of chief consum ption, monopo- lies, taxes applied so as to favor this, disfavor Reinforcement always falls upon the poorest, most helpless of the people-on labor itself. The rich and powerful always find means to evade the burdens. There is a class who cannot eyade-the very poor and helpless who finally pay all these bur dens in sufferings, starvation, death. There is no doubt of that. And yet this class is so remote from the causes they never suspect whence comes the blow.
 Of course, it may be said that the surest way to increase wages is to in crease production. Industrial war is costly, and part of it's cost will iDeyi- tably be paid out ot wages. No indus try can prosper which is afflicted with 8 strike. Therefore the men who at such 6 time as this are striking for higher wages are pursuing the very policy which will make higher wages impossible. We are not preaching the capitalistic gospel of non-resistance. War is sometimes necessary, and when necessary it is desirable. It is not the duty of any American citizen tamely to submit to oppression. But it is the duty of an American citizen not to be a fool.
