To the Honorable, the Court of Gen
eral Sessions for Pickens County
The Grand Jury Present:
/. That we have by special com
mittee, assisted by j. e. Boggs, al
attorney of this bar, as an expert
made careful investigation Of the
Offices of the clerk, sheriff and probate
Judge, and lind them we'll and neatl,
kept. We recommend that some ad
ditional furniture for keeping the
public records in the clerks office be
furnished and that book shelves be
put i'm the tire.proof vault attached to
the clerks f1ice.
3. We have examined the COUNTY
commissioners Office and find it we'll
and properly kept. We notice the
board has all the testimony in regard
to roads recorded in the minute book.
1t seems to us this unnecessarily
cumbelg the record. We recommend
that this practice be discontinued.
4. Reports on the auditors and
treasurer's Office will be made in the
next presentment, as the final settle
ment with the comptroller has not
yet been had. So far as we have
been able to investigate the treasurer's
report is correct.
5. We have examined the bonds of
the various county officers and find
them good and sufficient.
6. All the trial justices, except one,
Trial Justice j. t. Prior, OF Dacusville,
presented their books, aud we find
them very well kept, and that they
have promptly turned over all fines
and costs which their books show
they should have collected.
7. We find the poroner's books we'll
kept and inquests recorded up to date.
8. We call the attention of the
county commissioners to the bad con-
dition Of the following public roads,
Road from Stewards mill down Keo.
wee river to the Old Pickens bridge;
from Six Mile church to Robinson's 8
bridge and also the bridge; from
Kings old store to Grow Creek. The
attention of the county commissioners
Is called to the fact that there are
complaints about the owners of lands
and their tenants encroaching upon
the public roads by cultivating the
right OF way and thereby making the
roads too narrow.
10. We recommend that the salary
of the trial justice of Dacusville be
increased from S5U.0n to $lU0.UU per
annum. We respectfully return our
cordial thanks to the presiding Judge
the solicitor and officers Of court for
many valuable courtesies.
Respectfully submitted.

had taken him by surprise, and that
in order that the club should be ena-
bled to vote intelligently, he thought
that it was proper that he should ex.
plain to some extent his political stu
tion: That he considered himself
one Of the oldest reformers OF Pick
ems county; that since the State con-
vention Of 1886, which he attended
in Columbia. he had been IN advo-
cate of retrenchment and economy in
the government, and had been in fa.
Vor of a general reduction in expenses
and of economy and reform. For two
years before his nomination, had been
in favor Of Ben 1illman for Govern
or. And that he now preferred Till
man for u. S. Senator in preference
to Gen Butler.
But for the second condition in the
call for tho organization of reform
clubs, he would not be entitled to be
come q member, for the reason that
he had voted q mixed ticket in the
last election, that he had thus voted
Tor the reason TINT he could not en-
dorse all the men and measures, that
the reform movement had put forth
and adopted.
That he was now ready to do what
ever he might be able for reform, in
the way of an honest and economical
administration for the welfare of the
people, and that he thought unity
md concert Of action were the GREAT
lever powers to be used for the com
mon good. And that if he should be
the choice of the club for presiding
officer he would cheerfnlly serve them
to the best of his ability.
He then declared the club ready fo,
business. j. II. G. Mcdaniel was
mado permanent secretary, and j. M
Stewart was made vice. president.
w. Il. Bowen was nominated fo,
treasurer by Maj. Boyd, and was
unanimously elected.
The chair was authorized to appoint
an executive committee of five. After

and carried out AS they raised him,
a ring tinkled down and rolled across
the floor Lestrade grabbed it up and

There's been a woman here" he
cried. "it's n woman's wedding-ring."
8 He held it out, as he spoke, upon the

round him and gazed at it. There could
be no doubt that that circle of plain
gold had once adorned the finger of

~ .HE EARLY DAYS.


The yrea. frs, children ,vdrneyed through
The countries. lonely rnen.
With all their sheep and little ones.
Their cattle and their men:
And kept themselves in tribes apart
For awe Of the great plains:
AZ; learned the length OF days and nights.
or summers and OF rains:
And saw no other men through all
The blue horizons wide.
Save their own kiCd who came to birth.
And marched and sang I'D died:
And left the mark OF pitched tents.
OF footprints in the dew.
And tracks Of beaten. beloved grass
Their flocks had plsturcd through
And sometimes on mountain top
They stood among their spears.
And gazed across an unknown sea
Into the unknown years:
And sometimes DER q silent plain,
AS endless as the sky,
A child from lands unknown would come
And meet them eye TO eye:
And they would gaze and love and speak
And rest awhile: and then
Each journeyed past with all his sheep
His cattle and his men.
