"Ncmbc: County Board" Returns to
the Attack.


most anxiously awaited the Issue
of The TINES last week. BY your
language, knew not what the Su-
pervisor and his Board had been ac-
cused OF, your mountain of disgrace
has proved a veritable mole-hill.
Somewhere in tue county the roads
have not been properly worked. l
know not where. l can only answer
for my own section; the roads being
in good condition. You do not say
in what township YOU find such inl-
passable roads. You simply con-
demaed the entire work of the Su-
peryisor aud Board, for probably the
neglect Of one man TO do his duty.
That indeed sounds like Justice.
In speaking Of the roads You said IN
your first article that there are, ''25OO
hands in tae county subject to road
duty, that would give 10000 work
days. Employ competent overseers,
and let them work ten hands day"
Well, take your own figures; that
would give the overseers 1000 days
en- the road; at the least calculation
it would take $1,000 to pay the over
seers alone, (and l don't know where
you Will find competent men" to
serve for one dollar per day. You
also suggest that suitable tools be
furnished them, that, OF course, would
be another item. The Board only
asked for al appropriation OF S70o,
SO YOU can see at a glance that it will
take much more than the whole ap-
preparation to pay the overseels and
buy the tools, SO where is the money
to come from for bridges and other
expenses. But may be you are like a
certain candidate that wanted to put
the county in debt 100000. That
was celtainly not the sense Of our
ex-Supervisor or Board. Their idea
and aim was to keep the county out
of debt as much as possible. [ think
that when a people Shall be heavily
taxed, they should have the right to
say for what purpose. Where you
will find one man willing to be taxed
for better roads, you will find fifty
that are not only wiling, but anxious
to he taxed for better school facilities,
Speaking for myself, Individually,
l will do as you did, make a sug-
gestion." Let US cry out for an op-
portunity of paying more taxes, but
let it be for the cause of education,
rather than macadamized roads. You
say I had better not "kick too high"
Though, I am not versed in slang,
1 will follow up Your idea and beg TO
say, ain rot clicking" bat l am
determined to maintain the dignity
of the Office I have filed and allow
no manto brand my actions "a dis
grace to civilized community,
without demanding his proof of the
same. Neither do | desire newspa-
per controversy. I have no more to
say. Il you desire information, cues
tions answered, etc, l refer YOU to
the present Supervisor and Board
aud doubt rot they will gladly give
you any information you desile.
Respectfully,
IIrlnrR COJ-NTT BOARD.

The roads throughout the county

The roads throughout the county
and several of the bridges are in pref
ty bad condition. and we wouid COM
mend these matters Il the
County Supervisor and the township
boards TO put them in order as soon
as practicable. The bad condition OF
the roads is often due TO the usage of
LOG carts 80! hauling timber over the
roads Hy !@Hher and mill men, ;,nu
we wGu%J cal the attention OF our
members OF the Legislature to this
matter and request them to exercise
their wisdom in Suggesting and max
ing some way 10 correct the evil.
The chain gang system for working
roads seems TO work we'll III other
counties, and We suggest that our
County Board Of Supervisors put this
systcm il operation for our county
as soon rs possible, as we believe this
is the genera! sentiment throughout
the county.
Our attention has been called to
the fact that the laws Of the State
relating TO fishing and trapping are
constantly being violated IL this

magistrates 10 this fact and request
that they use all power at their COM

GRAND JURY'S PRESENTMENT.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
COUNGY OF CLARENDON.


STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
CoUNGY OF CLARENDON.
To THE Hon. J. c.. MUCH, Presiding
Judge, February Term Of Court.
1897:
We, the grand jury drawn for the
year 1891, beg leave TO make this, our
first preSentmenJ
First of all We desire to thank YOU
for your clear and explicit charge to
us, explaining our duties, and we
shall endeavor to perform these du-
ties during the year faithfully and
ilnpartially.
We have passed upon all the bills
handed us by the Solicitor.
We have appointed 4 committee to
examine into the condition OF the
county jail This committee have
made their examination, and find
that the condition Of the jail is as
good as it could be expected to be, or
as good as the building will allow.
The present jail is a poor affair and
we consider 1t unsafe, out we feel it
unnecessary to make any recon-
mendations in regard to this matter
aS the people of the county, in the
last election, voted down tax levy
for the purpose Of erecting a new
Jail. We will say, however, that the
county is sadly in need of a new jail,
as has been repeatedly recommended
in former presentments, and we hope
that the people of the county will
come to a realization of this fact and
allow 4 sufficient tax levy TO be made
| to erect q new one.
A committee from our body have
also visited the county poorhouse and
report that the poor of our county
are we'll cared for, and the buildings
are in fairly good condition. y ply
lsician is regularly employed to visit
the sick in the jail and poorhouSe
! whenever one is needed.

CARRENO HERE MONDAY.
She Is to Be in Peoples Church To-
morrow Night.

Some artists are attractive because of
their oddly or eccentricity. They may
have long hair, or an unbearable dispo-
sltlon to mark them. This is in no
sense the cause of Carreno's power to
please. Combined with her fine, large
physique, she has a personal dignity
and magnetism that compel ones at
tention. It is said she is quite as at
tractive in the drawing room as on the
platform. Those milder feminine graces
which are pleasing wherever found are
dispensed with when she takes her
place at the keyboard to play such
piece as Rubinstein's Concerto"
where all her physical force, and she
has much of it, is transformed into tor
rents of tone. Her wrists are as f1exi-
bic as whip, and her fingers have the
precision and accuracy Of mechanical
movement. It is only by such perfec-
tion of movement that the true soul of
music can flow out The chief reason
why so many people do not appreciate
the classic music is that the artists
whom they hear expend their energies
in mechanical movements, and the real
soul Of the music is lost But with such
an artist as Carreno one sees no tech
nique. He Is only conscious that he is
being carried away by some force that
he cares not to resist. It is like Calve
acting in Carmen" The singing and
acting are so perfectly related that
the nearer sees no acting or hears no
music, but both have become one per-
suasive force drawing him on.
To this power of Carreno is probably
due the unprecedented demonstrations
which have been made over her. In
Chicago she received one Of the great
est ovations ever given any musician
in that Even The conservative
Boston people rushed on the stage to
express their exuberant feeling.
Such artists come to us altogether
too seldom, and we should make the
best of the opportunity when we have
it.
She deserves to have an audience that
will fill the Peoples church tomorrow
night, and from present appearances
there will be but little room left.

work, and that he had returned the transpor.
tation. Had he desired to go to Chicago
there appears to be no necessity for shroud-
ing the trip in mystery, as the trip was
planned in the first place with his family.
Another fact which strengthens the suicide
theory is that Mrs Massey was not the only
one to whom her husband conf1ded his inten-
ton of taking his life. A. M. Eddy, chief
clerk in the auditing department Of Tie
Northern Pacific railroad, under whom Mas
sey was formerly employed, also received a
letter from the missing man, in which he
stated that he had wearied Of the uphill
struggle he had been waging against rever-
ses, and that by the time the letter reached
Its destination he would be dead. This letter
was written from the st. James hotel in Min.
neapolis, as was the one received by Mrs,
Massey, and bore the same date Wednesday.
April %. Mr.. Eddy stated yesterday that he
was somewhat familiar with Massey's troub-
les and knew that he had of late been very
Respondent. He frequently confided in Mrs.
Eddy, who says that he also told him Of his
contemplated trip to Chicago. The fact that
Mr.. Eddy advised Massey against leaving St
Paul. and explained the difficulty of obtaining
employment among the railroad Offices of Chi
cago, it is thought substantiates the IA:ssing
mans statement to his wife that he aban-
doned the trip and returned the transportaA
ton.

GEORGE FULLER TOOK POISON IN
DEPRESSION AT THE SEVERANCE
OF TIES
OF A LONG RESIDENCE HERE
ADVERSELY HAD COMPELLED RE-
MOVAL THAT HE DIsLIKED TO
CONTEMPLATE.
ROUGH ON RATS THE MINISTER
To Open to Him the Vaults of Death
Coroner Nelson Decides No Au-
tOpsy Necessary.

George Fuller, formerly foreman at
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis railroad
shops, took his life at the residence OF
his family, 1874 Burr street, early yes
terday morning by swallowing a large
dose Of Rough on Rats" When dis
covered by his wife shortly after 5
o'clock, Fuller was suffering terrible
agony, and, though medical aid was
hastily summoned, he died before the
physician could reach his side. The
suicide was sixty-seven years old and
leaves a wife and daughter, the latter
about twenty years of age. Coroner
Nelson, after an investigation of the
case, decided that 1t was clearly one OF
suicide, and no autopsy will be held.
The Fuller family has resided at their
present home for number of years,
but recently decided to move to Min
neapolis. This sundering of the ties OF
long association and the fact that Mr..
Fuller has been out Of employment for
nearly two years is thought to have
induced a fit of dependency in which
the dead man decided to end his trou-
bles by taking his own life. Fuller
complained bitterly of having to leave
his old home when the furniture was
packed preparatory to the removal to
Minneapolis, and said sadly to his wife
that he would rather die than go away.
But two beds had been left standing
in the house, one on the second floor
occupied by Mrs. Fuller, and the other
on the ground floor, where Fuller spent
Friday night Yesterday morning Mrs
Fuller was awakened by groans COM
ing from the room occupied by her hus-
band, and hurrying down stairs found
him in terrible agony He was even
then in the throes of death and could
not reply to the questions Of his terri
fled wife, but a box of Rough on
Rats" uncovered on the floor, told
what he had done. DR.. Martel was call
ed, but when he arrived Fuller was
dead.
Two years ago Fuller was foreman
at the Minneapolis & ST. Louis shops
and provided comfortably for his fam
lily. The loss of his position, however,
and his subsequent inability to find
regular employment affected him to
melancholia and dependency, which
became unbearable when he was COM
PEELED in his old age to leave the home
Of years. The removal to Minneapolis
was decided upon by the parents in Or
der to be near the surviving daughter,
who had recently secured a position in
the Mill City. The funeral will take
place from the residence Monday morn
ing at 8 o'clock.

Season of Summer Entertainments
Was Opened Yesterday.

Season of Summer Enteftalnm ents
Was Opened Yesterday.
The Town and Country club opened the
season Of summer entertainments yesterday
afternoon with handsome party at their
club house on Lake street.
A number of guests went out from st. Paul
and Minneapolis, some on bicycles, some on
horseback, and others in traps and smart rigs.
The entire grounds were filled with convey
ances Of one kind or another
Mrs. D. A. Monfort, assisted by twenty-fi
young ladies from this city, and Mrs. l.. K.
Hull, assisted by twenty-five Minneapolis
young ladies, received.
During the afternoon the Twin City Mando-
lin club played selections from Half a
King Gel CAPTAIN" and many others and
the strains of music came to the golfers on
the links and to the archers who had buckled
on their quivers of arrows and armed them
aim so straight and true" they whied an
happy hour away. The ladies were the prin-
cipal devotees to archery pastimes, and the
honors the links were taken chiefly by E.
A. Jaggard and L. K. Hull of Minneapolis.
Archery with the Town and Country club is
In its infancy, but the members have secured
one of the most desirable locations for their
rolling enough to make the resort the ideal
place for the typical golfer who plays the
game with the same spirit as the Scotchman
assumes in the Highlands. Golfng will be
a feature of their summers games.
About 200 guests from Minneapolis and St.
Paul were at the country house during the
afternoon. Many of these remained for the
dancing in the evening, and others came later
in the evening. The St. Anthony Hill or
chestra furnished music for the dancing.
The club will give these entertainments
every two weeks throughout the summer

PATRICK CONLEY AND URI LAM
PREY PRESENT THEMSELVES
AS SURETIES.

BOND, ASKS TO BE RE-
LEVIED.
RELEASED FROM THE OBLIGATION

William F. BickeI secured bail yester-
day forenoon, much to his relief, as the
two nights and a day in the county
Jail told upon him visibly.
Patrick Conley came to Mr. BlckeF S
rescue yesterday morning, and together
with Mr.. Lamprey executed bond in
the required sum of $1,000. Judge
Lewis, to whom the bond was submit
ted. accepted the bond.
But this alone would not have SUI
feed to liberate Mr.. Bickel, for Barney
Ryan, who with Mr. Conley was one
of the sureties on the $1,000 bond in
the Hulda Peterson case, wanted to be
released from the obligation Of the
bond. Upon motion of Mr.. Barnard, the
old bond was discharged, and Messrs,
Conley and Lamprey executed a bond
in it's place in the sum of $1,000, which
was also accepted
Mr.. Bicl1el and his bondsmen then de-
parted from the court room.

School Board Needs 1t for the Main
tenance of Schools.


The members of the school board eonstitut-
ing the committee on schools met at the
Central High school last night and resumed
the discussion of the financial difficulties that
will confront the board next year. Principals
Farnsworth and Bryant, of the Humboldt and
Cleveland schools, and Miss Sarah C. Brooks,
the supervisor of the kindergarten system,
were present by invitation Of the committee
to give their views.
The meeting was entirely informal in char
acter and no action whatever was decided
upon as result of the discussion. 1t was
the prevailing sentiment however of FIVE
of the six members of the board present that
the $43, 900 set aside by the common council
for the purchase Of additional school sites
and the erection of school buildings must be
placed in the general fund for the maintenance
of the schools, ifthe schools are to be kept in
operation throughout the season Of 1897-98
The majority seem to favor the maintaining
of the schools in their present state of eff
cheney rather than to pursue policy of re-
trenchment that would materially impair their
efficiency.
There was also some talk Of the feasibility
of dispensing with the branch high schools
some Of the inspectors expressing the opinion
that the Central High school could easily be
made to accommodate all the high school
pupils.
The committee adjourned to meet tomor-
row at $3.50 p. m, and the committees an
ways and means OF the board of aldermen
and the assembly will be invited to attend
and participate in the discussion.
