to buy your dry goods now while every
thing is st such reasonable cost. Goods
were never as cheap as they are to-day and
it is conceded fact, and fact that is sure
TO follow as your left foot follows your night
when YOU walk, that no matter who IS
elected goods and everything else VII ad-
vance in price from what they are to-day.
The reason, there is but one, the manu-
Sacturers of merchandise claim that as 1t IS
now everything is uncertain at present,
they don't know whst kind of money they
are going to be paid for their merchandise.
When one or the other is elected they claim
they will know precisely what to do. We,
The Diamond Racket Store Of Sumter,S. c..
have bought everything at the bottom of the
market and we are selling in the same pro-
portition as loug as the goods last. We
buy for cash and in this way We take ad-
vantage of every available discount thereby
get fine goods far cheaper than merchants
Eho buy on time and we are selling our
goods in proportion to the way they were
bought. The proportion being far cheaper
than other merchants as the following

COURT.

The court of general sessions as
sembled last Monday morning.
Judge W. c Benet presided. solic-
Tor Wilson was at his post and Mr..
L. Parrot was court stenographer.
The following true bills were
brought in by the grand jury:
General Evans Dayis-Murder.
j. D. Alsbrook-Malicious mis-
chief.
James Lawrence-Assault and bat
tery with intent to kill.
John Butler-Larceny OF live
stock.
William Prince-Assault and bat
tery with intent to kill
An of the bills given out by the
Solicitor were returned with "srue
bill" endorsed upon them.
The first case tried was against
Winfield and Erv Scott, assault and
battery with intent to kill This was
the case in which the sheriff, after
much effort, succeeded in capturing
the,prisoners in Savannah. They are
brothers and Canadians, and are
rather good looking men. Col. Bar
ron, their counsel, so ingeniously
managed the case against them that
he succeeded in obtaining q consent
verdict after the case went to the
Jury. Said verdict lessened the pun
ishment to a great extent. The pris-
oners we're sentenced to pay fine Of
$50 each, or three months in the
county jail. This ended the work
for Monday.

snmed and the case against Janes

The South Carolina college is nov

The South Carolina college is now
now being discussed by the news-
papers, and from the way they are
defending the institution, they must
believe it is in danger. This is s
day of progress, and the people
are thoroughly alive to all things
looking to building up and improv-
mens; therefore we cannot believe
that any effort to destroy an institu-
ton which has done so much good
whine with with the approval of the
people. we see no reason why South
Carolina shall tear down 40 existing
educational institution; there is room
plenty for State and denominational
educational colleges. When the con-
stitutional convention was in session
the fight was started against the
State institutions, not because the
people wanted them done away with,
bat because those interested in the
denominational institutions hoped
their fsvorite colleges would be bene-
fitted should the fight succeed. Let
the South Carolina college and Glenn
Son and Winthrop and the Citadel
continue doing their good work and
the day is not far distant when the
effects will be felt at the crossroads
and in the log school houses in the
country. We know Of no State in
the Union that is without educational
institutions supported by the State
and why should South CaroLua be
an exception. especially since we have
gone TO the trouble and expense to
establish and equip them. Some
argue in behalf of the denominational
colleges, that the moral influence is
not good, surely such an argument
will not hold with reference to the
South Carolina college, for we are
satisfied the faculty of that institu-
ton will compare very favorably in q
moral sense with any educational in
stitution in the State, denominational
colleges not excepted.

made si,nil4r report to this Court.
A committee from the beard of coun-

and they also reported the honds of

further says that when his attention
was called 10 the fact that his bond
could not be found on record, he i'm
mediately went to work to correct
the oversight by executing Il new
bond. This was done the Saturday
morning after having received the
information that his boud could not
be found, and the attention of the
foreman OF the present Grand Jury
was called thereto and the bond was
exhibited to the said foreman of the
said Grand Jury. The deponent
further says that it was not his in
tention nor desire to continue in said
Office without bond, and wheD in
formed that the bond was not of re-
cord in the Office of the Clerk of
Court, it was surprise to him and
he Immediately corrected that which
WAS purely an oversight.

A. LEVI,
Notary Public for S. G.
This morning as soon as court con-
vened the case against J. D. Alsbrook
malicious mischief, was tried. This
is a case where Mr.. JEFF Alsbrook
killed "yaller dog" for biting him,
and the owner not being able to in
duce Mr.. Alsbrook to pay him ten
dollars, brought the case into court.
The testimony as developed showed
that Mr.. Bakers styallar dog bit Mr..
Alsbrook on the leg and after the dog
was kicked oil the poor little "yallar
purp" was sept 10 dog heaven by a
load of shot from a gun in the hands
of Jefferson D. Alsbrook, who did
kill this "yallar dog" The jury re-
turned verdict of not guilty.
The next case was against General
Evans Davis, a fourteen-yearold col
ored lad, charged with murder. The
case is being tried as we 60 to press
His Honor excused all of the ju-
rors not in this case until next Mon
day morning. 1t will therefore be
well for every juryman to be at bis
post next Monday morning, because
Judge Benet will hold down the rules
of the court strictly.

collected for such and such purpose

from such time TO such time.
La a former presentmeut we made
allusion to some of our officers keep
ing their Offices open more regularly.
While the absence of our county Of.
fcers from their Offices is not by
any means practiced to the extent
of being a dire evil, yet it does some
times occur that parties come from
distance to see an officer and find
him absent. We would suggest that
our officers have, as near as prac-
ticable, regular hours, and post their
Office hours on their doors, and when
ever they are going to be absent that
they post this upon their doors.
A committee from our body made
az examination of the Poor House,
and report the same, as has been many
times before reported, in bad con-
dition. The inmates building is yet, in
a dilapidated condition and bedding
is insufficient to begin the approach
ing winter, but we presume that these
conditions are about as well as might
be expected with the present appro
priatiops. We recommend that the
appropriation for the Poor House be
raised from five hundred dollars to
eight hundred or one thousand dol
lars.
We recommend that Mr.. J. H.
Lesesne be paid the sum of twenty
dollars for services as expert to grand
| jury.
We present Sidney Burgess for
bigamy and give as witnesses Amos
Burgess, Daniel Eaddy, Jane Eady
and J. W. Flemming.
In conclusion we extend to your
Honor, the solicitor and the officers of
the court our appreciation Of your
efforts to aid US in the discharge of
our duties.

Foreman.
When this presentment was read,
Mr.. Louis Applet arose in open
court and obtained permission
from His Honor to explain
the matter referring to the
Judge of probate, and the Judge, af-
ter hearing the explanation, suggest
ed that the same be placed in the
shspe of an affidavit, which he or
dered to go on record as an adendum
to the grand jury presentment:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
CLARENDON COUNTY.
Personally appeared before me
Louis Applet, Judge of Probate for
Clarendon county, who on oath says,
that on the 20th day of October, 1896,
the Grand Jury for Clarendon coun-
ty, in ther final presentment, use
the following language, eve found
that Louis Appelt, Probate Judge,
had failed to give any bond at all.
His attention was called to this mat
ter and he has since executed bond,
which we pronounce good and suffi-
cient."
Deponent says that he was re-
ele c,ted to the Office referred to, in
1894, and when it came time for Civ
ing bond, he thought he had done SO
and was honestly under the impress
sion that the necessary bond had
been given by him. The Grand
Jury following the deponent's re-
election TO said Office reported to the

practiced in regards to our roads and
bridges. We desire to say to the
supervisor and members of the vari-
Gus township boards and road over
seers that they are expected to look
into the condition of the roads and
bridges in their respective townships
and have them improved, or we, as a
grand jury, will call an extra meeting
and at the next term of the court
present this matter to our successors,
who will be in position to enforce the
reform. If these bad conditions that
We speak of are due to insufficient
funds then We realize that some blame
attaches to our Senator and members
OF the Legislature, for the county
officers cannot CARY on work when
they have no funds or insufficient ap-
propriations. We therefore implore
our representatives in the General AS
sembly to confer with our county
supervisor and members of the county
boards of commissioners, and look to
a remedy of these conditions.
In a former pZesentment We called
attention to the pressing need Of q
fre-proof vault in which the records
of our county could be securely kept,
and we would again earnestly recon-
mend its erection. The safe in the
Office of clerk of court is not fire.
proof, and even wereit ire-proof it is
insufficient to hold more than about
one third of the important records.
Il will thus be seen that should a fire
occur records might be lost which
would cause untold loss and expense
and open the door for almost endless
litigation. We earnestly recommend
that our members of the General As
sembly look into this matter and pro-
vide the necessary appropriations for
the erection Of this vault.
We call attention to the fact that
some trial justices, or magistrates, do
not make their regular monthly re-
ports to the auditor, and also that
some of their reports which are on
file are very incomplete, not showing
my time covered by said reports.
Trial justices, or magistr ates should
make their reports regularly every
month, and note in same 80 much

There are very few species Of birds
which are not sociable, although
some give only the slightest EVIL
dence Of it. Many there are which
are exclusive in their nesting habits,
but which meet in common with
others of their kind to feed. This is
well illustrated in our common loon,
which rears Its young on the smaller
lakes and ponds, yet is frequently
seen in parties of three, four and
even more ON the larger lakes, and
that, too, at nesting time. One of
the old birds remains at home with
the eggs, while the other seeks COM
pany even at q distance.
Again, we have instances Of y So
oial feeling connected directly with
the breeding season. Many herons
nest together, forming rookeries of
thousands of birds and providing so
closely that the limbs often bend
with their weight. I have seen a
heronry containing over 200 nests,
and Is nests in a single tree. It may
be that these birds mass together for
protection, but there is nothing to
prove that this is the case, for the
hustle and confusion about a large
heronry are sure to attract boys who
climb for the handsome blue eggs,
and INSCRIPTIONS gunners who kill
them In great numbers. Moreover,
if numbers secured protection, it
would be reasonable for the smaller
birds to nest together in colonies,
but this is not the case, excepting in
a few instances, and many of our
smallest species, as the humming
bird, select isolated quarters.
This propensity for sociability is
not confined to love for species and
kindred and can be shown to be far
removed from sexual relations, for
different species of birds often flock
together. All are familiar with the
mixed focks Of redwing and rusty
black birds as the autumnal migra-
ton takes place. They assemble in
the tree tops and discuss matters in
a high key, and as two languages
are spoken the discordance is terrific.
Perhaps it may be said, as these
birds are of a color, that
Birds of feather, flock together.
but it may readily be shown that
even a difference in size as we'll as
species may not prevent sociability
and companionship In the fall it is
not uncommon to see three or four
species of ducks in one flock, flying
or feeding. Littoral species often
flock together, there being not rare
~ four distinct kinds in one small
group on the edge of the lake, and
on one occasion, at a single discharge
of the gun, secured the least, semi
palmated and red backed sandpipers.
These birds of similar habit in feed
ing we're pleased to travel south to-
gether.
