Scruggs $ ''yindication" by the
grand jury Of RichIand county
probably payes the way for his
reelection to the office of clerk of
the state board of control, a DO
sition which Mr. Lawrence has re.
signed, his resignation to 90 into
effect on the first Tuesday in July.
The ways of grand jurics are past
finding out. Only one side of the
case is presented to the grand
jury, and it is hard to see how the
states witnesses failed to make a
prima facie case against Scruggs,
who took property which belong
ed to the state and who had a
''hocus pocrs" key in his pocket.

NO BILL FOR SCRUGGS.
Indictment for Official Misconduct
Thrown Out.
The State, June 3Oth.

The State, June 3Oth.
The grand jury yesterday even
ing returned n no bill in the
case OF the State against Seth w
Scruggs, indicted for official mis-
conduct and houscbreakine and
larceny. When this finding had
become generally known around
the city considerable surprise was
expressed. While the grand jury
Is not permitted TO talk, yet it
has come TO b the accepted opin-
ion that the members from the
country were responsible for the
no bin.
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1897-07-03

The failure of the grand Jury of
shis county To- return u true bill
against s w Scrugcs, guilty. by
his own admission, of official mis-.
conduct, is a surprise and a shock.
1t Is official misconduct hardly
less in degree than Scrlggs's
The explanation given is that n
majority of the jury were country
men who had been IN political
afiiliation with Scruggs and that
they refused to allow him to be
tried. How much they may have
been influenced by the reported
threat of Scruggs that if he were
brought TO trial he would "preach"
on "Reformers" higher in Office
we do not know, We do know
that the shame of this action does
not attach to- the Columbia Jurors

thank the printers and they can thank
the grocers.
Take yonr job work to some othtr
t,wn and then come and ask for halt
rates for the church notices. Get your
lodge letter heads and stationery away

beautiful thoughts in resolutions of re-
spect and cards OF thanks. They make
such spicy reading, and when you pick
it up filed with these glowing aud vivid
mortuary articles, you are so proud OF
your little paper. -.
Bat money, scorn the filthy thing.
Don't let the pure innocent editor know

He'll take care OF the editor. He has q
