The city of Florence wants Gov
ernor Iillman to give it the profits
from the dispensary which was with
held some time back on account Of
that city's not seeing after the proper
enforcement of the law. The Gov
ernor declines, but tells Mayor
Hursey if he will assist him in the
enforcement of the law in the future,
the profits which may accrue will be
turned over. The Governor is not
willing for city officials to wink at
the violation of the law and then par
ticipate in the profits. If they want
any money from the dispensary they
must shut up the blind tigers.

With a singular unanimity the
conservative newspapers have taken
to patting Editor CAN'T on the back,
for his recent utterances against the
constitutional convention scheme.
Heretofore these same papers would
take Gantts editorials, and instead Of
giving him praise, they would abuse
and vilify him, but now that he is in
touch with the resolutions adopted by
the march-up-hill-and-down-again-
caucuss, CAN'T is great editor, and
what he says is reproduced with COM
piimentary comments. The princi-
pie that our conservative press seem
to work upon, is to abuse those that
differ with them, and praise those
that agree with them in their ideas.
After all the abuse that has been
heaped upon the Headlights editor
it must be refreshing to him to know
that he has at last said something
pleasing to the opposition.

PreSentnlent.

To His Honor, D. A. Townsend. Presiding
Judge, October term. 1894.
The grand jury has passed upon all bills
handed over to them by the solicitor.
A committee of the grand jury was ap-
pointed to make an examination Of the
county Offices and we include the report Of
said committee as part of this our pre-
sentiment.
COMMITTEE REPORT.
The committee of the grand jury appoin-
ted to examine the bonds and Offices Of the
county officials, entered upon its work on
the 23rd of July, last. After examining
the bonds Of the county officers, we pro-
nounce them good and sufficient. On the
oath, the committee commenced the e1aml-
nation in the county Offices.
The county treasurer had not made his
annual settlement with the Comptroller
General for the last collection of taxes,
(lS92-3) and therefore, the committee could
not 90 into as full an examination of the
business Of that year as o succeeding grand
Jury can do, when the business Of the year
is completed and the settlement made with
the proper officers.
We found the books of this officer very
neatly kept, his monthly reports (required
by law regularly made out, vouchers prop
erly fled and the office generally in neat
condition. However, upon taking up the
last Annual settlement Of county and school
taxes for the previous year, made Septem-
Der 18th 1893, the committee discovered
some discrepancies as follows:
The settlement shows that there was a
balance of ordinary county funds on hand
amounting to S2l9.9O. and then this item IS
charged up among the balances on hand, as
sl96,73, and is so charged upon the treas
urers books-making difference Of S23, II
less than the county tax on hand should
have been Oa the school account in Sep
tember Of same date. the committee found
that the unexpended school funds ~ hand
amounted to sSS7.30, and this amount too,
is eroneously carried to the charges in sai;,
settlement for unexpended balances, as

Judge:
We, the grand jury, present, that one
Barlow B. King, in Clarendon county, s
c., on the first day of November, 1898, OBJ
tained from one Charles E. Strange, one
horse of the value of one hundred dollars
of the property Of said Charles E. Strange
by there and then falsely pretending that
the said Barlow B. King had q note for the
purchase money of said horse, which the
said Charles <. Strange had, before that
time, made to the said Barlow B. King,
which he would surrender to the said
Charles E. Strange upon giving up said
horse; whereas and in fact the said Barlow
B. Bing did not than have the said note,
but had then and before that time trans.
ferred the said note to persons, to the ia.
rors unknown, then and there knowing the
said pretenses to be false, with intent then
and there to cheat and defraud the said
Charles E. Strange of the said horse.

The committee did not deem it necessar,
to make any careful examination Of ths
clerks office, but found the records Of same
neatly kept, and neither did they examine
the sheritf"s office, as they understood thai
it comes among the solicitors duties to e1
anime the two last named offices. The
committee observed. however, that the
records Of the clerks Office are without suf
icient protection from fire, the safe in the
Office being too small, and recommend that
d vault be built adjoining the office for the
Interpretation of tie records from fire.
The committee on the 25th adjourned
over unit! August l4th, and notified the
trial justices 10 have their books at the
court house for examination on that day
All the trial justices except Trial Justice
Cantey, either brought or sent in their
books. The records OF these officers ap.
peared to be neatly kept, and especially
the book OF Trial Justice Owen, which was
model OF neatness and correctness.
The trial justices and their constables
are all salaried officers, yet, we found in
scme instances, particularly with the
record Of the trial justice at Manning. that
costs or fees iu some cases brought by the
State appeared to lave been paid and it
did not appear that these amounts had
been turned ocer to the county treasurer.
Ii it is not lawful that these amounts should
be retained or paid out 9th r than to the
county treasurer, then, the trial justices,
we think, should be held accountable to the
county treasurer, the only proper custodian
Of the county funds for all amounts what.
soever imposed and collected in Stats cases
and we therefore recommend that the trial
justices be directed to turn over all such
collections thai may have been made by
them, or shall hereafter be made By them
to the county treasurer; also, that they be
required to make their monthly reports
promptly 70 the auditor and treasurer Of
the county.
Ia the performance of our work, we EN-
ployed the assistance of Mr.. j. G. Higgins,
as expert and recommend that he be paid
the sum of twenty dollars therefor.

For Cheap Housekeeping.

A Chicago man thinks that the sys-
stem of cooperative housekeeping,
which has been tried and failed in
several cities of the country, can be
made to work in that city, and Will
solve the problem. which many young
men are struggling with, 'How to
support family on $50 a month. "
H. proposed large apartment house,
wherein 200 families may be accommo-
dated with more or less room, as they
need and are willing to pay for, and
a restaurant, where all are boarded IN
common. The guests would have
barber, laundry, house physician,
and would be able to get all their sup
plies: dry goods, ETC., at wholesale
rates and on the whole could live
very reasonably, indeed. The plan
would work to admiration, provided
all the inmates of the house were
angels, or were thoroughly civilized,
which is much the same thing. But
with human nature, as it is, no one
house is big enough to contain two
families, especially if there are any
children. This is the rock whereon
this ship has always split. New Or
