Mr.. W. G. Frierson, of Wyboo, was
chosen foreman of the grand jury
Following is the judges charge tc
the grand jury:
CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY.
Mr.. FOREMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE GRAND JURY:
l propose to 6etain you but few
moments, while | submit some sug-
gestions for your guidance in the per-
formance of your duties. The State
calls you into her service and it is
through your agency alone that she
can bring into this court persons
charged with breaking the criminal
laws, to answer her accusations
against them. The method is simple.
A bill is placed in your hands by the
solicitor, setting forth the facts which
he, in the name of the Sta.e, claims
constitute the breach of the law and
naming the offender. You are to
inquire AID ascertain whether the
evidence produced before you sup
ports the charge, and if you find that
it does, you bring the bill back into
court and it becomes the Indictment
which the accused must answer be-
fore a jury Of his own choosing.
Until he is so indicted by the grand
jury, no one can be put on trial in
this court. 1t becomes at once appar-
ent to you, then, how immensely i'm
portant, in the administration of
justice, are the functions which you
perform. The court is powerless, the
wheels Of justice are locked, unless
YOU do your part in bringing violat-
ors of the law to answer for their
crimes. | admonish you, then, to
address yourself with great care to
this part of your duties. Consider
each bill which is given you in
charge, hear the States witnesses,
who are sworn in your presence and
whose names you will find on the
back of the bill. Twelve Of you
must agree before it can be submitted
to the court. AS soon as twelve of
your number become satisfied from
the evidence adduced before you that
prima facie case of guilt is estab-
liShed in any case, you may stop the
investigation and bring in true bill.
In such case it would be consum-
ing your time unnecessarily to go
further
But if, after hearing and consider
ing all the evidence produced to you
by the State, you are not reasonably
satisfied that the facts alleged are
true, then it is equally your duty to
find no bill. Remember, that you do
not try any case, but you inquire to
see if the State hasa a case, presuming
always the innocence of the indiviu-
ual until you are convinced by evil
dence that the facts alleged are true,
and that taken to he true, they make
out a case of probable guilt of the
accused.

The bill introduced in the Legisla-
ture putting license on all classes OF
business, if it becomes law, will in
crease the revenue Of the State to a
large extent. It will not go through
without heavy fight against it and
the opinions of men differ as to Its
being a law to meet the approval Of
the people.

Odd Fellows at Episcopal Church.

Bluegrass Lodge, No 142, attended service
at the Episcopal Church last Sunday night.
Most of the members were present and
they presented astriking appearance
in their handsome regalia. The
occasion brought a large congregation
together, and the service was most
hearty and impressive. Special music
had been arranged for the service and was
rendered in manner most creditable to
the choir, being highly spoken of by all
who were present, The special feature was
the solo of Mrs, Dunn, vino kindly consented
to sing on this occasion. This lady has a
magnificent voice. and shows signs Of much
culture by the expressive manner in which
she sang on this occasion. The Rev. w.
D. .Buckner(who is an Odd Fellow himself)
preached a suitable sermon on the three
keynotes of Odd Fellowship, 'Friendship,
Love and TRUTH" giving most practical
and interesting discourse by way of show
ing how such organizations as that present
should prove great help to the church
and to the religious life of the community
generally. All through the occasaion was a
most interesting and enjoyable one.

England. Whatever the final consequent
ces of the conditional action reached by
the bank, and we desire neither to overes.
innate nor underestimate them, by their
vote, yesterday, the governors of The first
financial institution in the world frankly
recognize these facts: First, that the low
price of silver and its disappearance as a
money metal is an evil; second, that this
evil can be lessened by the freer use Of sl-
YER, and, third, that any steps in this di-
rection must be not national but interna-
tional. Not even the Bank of England is
willing to stand alone in dealing with sill
yer, but insists on international concert
before turning fifth of the metallic re-
serve in its Issue Department into silver.
BY the terms of the act of 1914, however,
which "limits the amount of silver bullion
on which it shall be lawful to issue Bank
of England notes." the bank is required to
purchase only bullion. The bank never
paid the mint price for silver bullion and
would not now. As Mr.. Morris, the Gov
ernor, in his evidence on the subject said
in 1S4S; "The practice of the bank has
been to buy bar silver at shillings III
pence and dolars-at 4 shillings o., which
at the French mint prices is equal to buy
ing gold at II shillings and pence" In
other words, the silver was bought as the
bank now buys gold coin, at price which
is safe tor the bank.
This step is important, not for its
direct but for its indirect ef-
fect-not for what it does but for what it
means. Ali the Bank of England pro.
poses to do is to hold in silver sum of
from s3O,OOO,oOG to $4O,0O0,0OO in silver
bullion. At the present price ofsilver this
would he about 90, 900, 900 ounces. AT the
familiar ratio of 16 to 1 it would be less
than half of this. At the gold value of
silver, if the Bank of England were to
turn onefifth of its present gold reserve
into silver it would acquire nearly halfof
a years product of silver. Ifthe purchase
were made at the ratio of l6 to it would
be about seventh of the worlds annual
product.
The purchase of sum no larger than
this could not be expected alone seriously
to affect the price of silver. The total pur-
chase of silver by the bank would not be
greater than the annual purchase made bv
the United States for several years together
under the act of 1890, during whose exist
ence silver steadily fell. But it is not the
amount of silver purchased by the Bank of
England which is important. Thereal i'm
portance of this step attaches to the change
