Report of the Grand Jury at the
November Term.

To the Hon. w. c. Benet, Presid-
ing Judge, November term of
Court for Edgefield county.
We, the Grand Jurors, having
passed upon all bills Of indictment
presented to US beg leave to make
the following presentment: We
find the various offices neatly kept
and everything in as good condi-
ton as possible.
We have examined the bonds of
the Clerk of Court, Sheriff, and
Master and find them to be strong
and sufficient to protect the public
interest. The other officers bonds
we did not examine from the fact
that the officers for said offices have
Just been elected and will have to
give bond in a few days; and,
therefore, we did not deem it nee
essary to examine the bonds of the
retiring officials.
We had the Chairman of the
board of County Commissioners to
come before US to know why GER.
tain recommendations made by
US at the preceding terms of court
had not been carried out, and he
reports that they have not had

BROWNS TRIAL.
The Murder Case Put Off Until
Tuesday.

BARNwELL, S. c., Nov. i6.-The
trial of Mr.. Simon Brown and his
two sons, Herman and Isadore,
upon the charge of murder, for the
killing of Gribbens, the Tillman
dispensary spy, in Blackville last
August, was not entered upon this
morning as expected.
At the opening of the court So
licitor General Duncan Bellinger
moved the cases be assigned for
trial next Tuesday morning. The
attorneys for the Browns were
anxious for an immediate trial, but
as the solicitor would not agree to
it they acquiesced in the time he
appointed.
This will be one of the most
hotly contested cases ever tried in
the courts Of this State.
Solicitor Bellinger is going to
make the effort of his life to con-
vict the Browns, and Messrs. Dan
Henderson, of Aiken, and Alfred
Aldrich and Sims & Bates, of
Barnwell, attorneys for the Browns,
will make strong fight for an ac-
quittal.
The solicitor announced this
morning that the case of Dyches,
who is charged with the murder of
Solomon Brown, will not be taken
up before Tuesday.
Great interest is being taken in
this case and the town was crowded
to overhowing this morning with
people who came from all direc-
tions to hear the trial, thinking the
case would be taken up to-day.

ONLY 0NE-THIRD IN COTTON
An Effort to Organize All the
Farmers.

ATLANTA, Nov. 19-In the Lower
House Mr.. Jenkins. Of Putnam,
presented the following memorial
this morning:
EAToNToN, Ca, Nov. 10. 1894.
To the General Assembly of
Georgia-The farmers of Putnam
county, realizing that prompt aud
practical action must be taken to
reduce the cotton crop another year
and increase food crops, have in
mass meeting agreed upon the
following plan as the best and most
business-like one to the end:
Let the Commissioner of Agri-
culture for Georgia cause to be
sent to every militia district in tie
State blank, for signatures,
binding the slgners to plant neXC
year one-third of their cultivata-
BILE lands in cotton and the rest in
food crops; let these blanks be
circulated simultaneously in every
militia district, and the work for
signatures completed ten days after
it is begun, and the lists then re-
turned to some general headquar-
ters for each county, after which
let the Governor of the State call
a State convention of farmers for
organization looking to the carry
ing out in good faith of the agree
ment, and in the meantime let the
Commissioner Of Agriculture bring
the plan to tie attention of the
proper officials in the other cotton"
growing States and ask their speedy
cooperation.

For the ADVERTISER.
Dots from the Antioch Section.

Mr.. EDITOR: History tells US that
Alexander conquered the world
and wept because there were no new
worlds to conquer. The brokers
and merchants have captured all
the cotton and horses and are
weeping because there is not more
to seize. 1t is hard from any stand
point. If the lien law was repealed
this would not be. The renting
and credit system has ruined our
country. If the lien law was re-
pealed many of us could not 60 in
debt, and would manage to pull
through in some way and be better
off in the end.
I am glad to say the farmers of
this section are sowing more oats
and wheat this fall than for years.
Nearly every one that I have seen
is going to have a patch of wheat.
An entertainment was given at
the residence of Mr.. R. T. Lanier
not long since for the benefit of
Barr's Chapel.
We regret to learn that Mr.. Lake
cannot accept the call rendered
him by Antioch Church to serve
them next year. 1t is very proba-
bic that Mr.. QUITS will be called
to preach in the afternoon.
Mr.. Frank May, of Celestia,
spent last Tuesday night with rela-
tives in this community.
Mrs. Andrew Gardner left on
Monday last for Georgia: where she
goes to visit her sisters.
Miss Lizzie Eubanks will teach
at Barr's Chapel next year. Miss
Eubanks is highly accomplished
and should be literally parronized.
Mrs. Lewis Wood, who has been
quite sick for sometime, is now
convalescent.
Miss Maggie Elan, one of our
most fascinating young ladies is
visiting relatives in Lincoln, Ga.
Mr.. Milton Talbert has returned
after trip to Augusta and other
points.
Mr.. Jas. Miller, on Nov. 29th at
II A. NJ, will lead'to hymen's alter
Miss Mamie Hart, of Meeting
Street. We extend congratulations
in advance and wish them happi-
ness and prosperity.

recommendations. We deem this
sad reflection upon the county.
but cannot censure the County
Commissioners, as we think they
have tried to carry out our recon-
mendations as far as they possibly
could. The Chairman Of the Board
of County Commissioners reported
that they had furnished, as they
thought, suficiency of chairs for
the various Offices and the court
room, but that said chairs were
often taken outfor the accommoda-
tion Of different meetings, etc.,
and very often never returned, and
were, therefore, a loss to the county,
and we recommend that furniture
furnished for the use of the county
should not be taken out or used
for any private use whatever.
We appointed a special commit
tee from our body on yesterday to
examine the Jail, it's condition, and
the condition of the prisoners. We
also appointed committee for the
same purpose this morning, and we
regret to say that the committees
report that they find the jail in a
filthy and sickening condition.
slop buckets that were almost full
on yesterday are still in the rooms
this morning, and they say the
stencil is perfectly horrible. The
prisoners also complain of INSULT
cheney of food, bedding, and fires.
This state of affairs should not
exist for a moment longer, and
humanity demands that these un-
fortunate people should be made
as comfortable as possible, and we
think the pay is sufficient at least
to keep them comfortably warm
and to give them good water for
drinking and bathing, and also to
give them a suficiency of substan-
tial food, and we ask your Honor
to take such action as will remedy
this evil at once. We recommend
that one more stove, to be placed
in the second story, should be fur
nished at once, and also iron cots
for the prisoners to sleep upon
should be furnished so that the
prisoners could be made to clean
up their cells and take care of
their bedding instead of throwing
it down on the floor to be walked
over and trampled upon as is done
now.
Complaint has been made to US
that the public road from Mrs.
Rushton's to Mr.. Willis Holiness
has not been worked for several
years and we ask that the County
Commissioners be required to have
said road put in good order at
once.
We hereby endorse as part of
our presentment the report of the
special committee on the Poor
House, and especially do we give
our unanimous endorsement as to
the efficiency, etc., of Capt. A. G.
Williams as steward of the Poor
House: and we recommend that he
he retained as steward as we feel
satisfied that the wants of the III
mates are carefully looked after
and the interest of the county is
fully protected.
To your Honor and the Solicitor
and the court officials we extend
our thanks for courtesies extended
to us.
Respectfully submitted,

A Hard Times Grindstone.

The most remarkable grindstone
on earth is owned by j. Patter-
son, of Evansville, KY. 1t has
been in use on his farm since 1859,
is used by the entire neighborhood,
and is soft or hard according to the
times. In good times when cotton
is 10 cents pound and other
things according, it becomes very
soft and wears rapidly, bat whel.
times are "gittin' hard and money
Citing skace" it is as hard as flint.
This year the sparks from it put
out the eye of a boy who was turn
ing it, set fire to apile of straw
fourteen feet high, and knocked a
bull down that was grazing fifty
feet away. The people have quit
asing this grindstone. They say
if lines are going to get any
harder they don't want to know it
from the grindstone.
