Death Of Miss Daisy LangfoI.
Miss Daisy, daughter of Supsu-
sor L. j. Langford, died last Sunday
night after an illness of about week
with fever. She had just crossed the
threshold and was budding into the
beautiful estate of noble womanhood
when death claimed her for his own
and transplanted the lovely flower
in that garden on high where neither
sickness, decay nor death is known.
She was the light Of home; the joy of
the community and the pride of the
church. In her social relations she
was thoughtful and attentive to
others, losing self in considering the
wishes of others. She was devoted
Christian, hnmbly relying with i'm
plicit confidence and trust in the
promises of him who told his believ5
ers to fear no evil for he would be
with them even unto the end and
that after this life's ftfull fever was
DER he would receive them in glory in
his fathers house. Her companions
found in her warm and sympathiz-
ing friend whose pleasure it was to
make others happy.
Her remains were laid away in
old mother earth at Old Lexing-
ton church, to await the dawn of the
glorious resurrection morn, when the
Master cometh to make up his jewels.
The family have our deepest sym
pathy in this hour of sore sffliction.

Card Of Thanks.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:


Please allow me space in the
columns of the Dispatch to return
my sincere thanks to the many
friendsin in the county who SO kindly
supported me in both the first and
second primary elections, and for the
many acts of kindness rendered
during the canvass.
I have no unkind words for those
who thought proper to cast their
votes against me. The Office is 70!
mine and they have a perfect right
to make a change if they thought
proper to DO so. I would be un-
grateful to censure them for not
supporting me, when I know that
many of them have been my warmest
friends in the past. AS an officer of
Lexington county I used my utmost
endeavors to save every dollar pos
sible to the taxpayers, and at the
same time protect the interest of my
county. If I erred in so doing it
was an error of the head and not Of
the heart.
10 conclusion, allow me TO say that
the only complaint have to make
is that I did not get enough
votes to elect me "and that is what
caused my defeat" With eumity to
none and kind feelings 10 all,
1 am yours most respectfully,
NJ. D. Harman.

Court Proceedings.

The September term of the cour
of General Sessions for this county
convened last Monday morning,
There was some delay in opening
the court occasioned by the delay Of
the train on board of which were tht
Judge and some of the other officers
of the court.
Our efficient Clerk Mr.. H. A
Spann, with his usual promptness
had everything ready for the prompt
discharge of the work of the session.
in the preparation Of which he was
ably assisted by Mr.. Samuel B.
George, so that when Judge Gary
arrived he found everything ready tc
proceed Immediately to business.
Judge Gary is one of the ablest
Judges on the bench. He is q young
man of unusual legal ability, prompt
in deciding the deep intricacies OF
the law and his decisions have gener-
ally been sustained by the higher
count. His attainments are brilliant,
his experience is wide and his deliv-
erances are sound and logical.
His charge to the grand jury was
an able exposition of their duty both
in their official and private relations.
He said that it was the duty of all
good citizens to see that all violators
of the law are brought to Justice
made to answer for their crime. He
contended that the man who violates
t le law was the greatest enemy to
society. He criticised the preachers
" 10 denounced the operations of the
court of sessions in dealing with
criminals without knowing the facts
surrounding the circumstances and
with much feeling and eloquence de-
clared that the court of sessions was
one of he grandest and most efec-
tive system that human ingenuity
could suggest and devise. The
grand jury was the right arm and
the petit jury was the left arm Of the
court and if they performed their
functions, justice would be given the
innocent and the majesty OF the law
vindicated in the conviction and
punishment of criminals. He warned
them not to allow prejudice to warp
or fear or favor deter them in their
d alterations, but if the State made
olt prima facie case it was the
dlty of the grand jury to return a
true bill; that it was not necessary to
examine all of the witnesses; that if
they were convinced by the examina
tion of single witness that prima
facie case had been made out they
could stop, but they must examire
all the witnesses in a case before
they returned no bill. 1t was in
deed an able charge and one from
which much instruction was derived
which will greatly assist the grand
jury in the performance of it's duties.
The first case to come up was that
against Coleman Smith. He was
charged with shooting Calvin Davis
with shot gun, near Chaplin, on the
4th of last June. Smith was coz
victed and was given one year with
Capt. Roberts on the chain gang.
Dread Ginnings and Henry Dreher
came up to answer for breaking into
and stealing wheat and Corn from
the barn of Mr. T. II. Adly, on the
2Gth Of August last. Mr.. Asblll as
Sisted the Solicitor. Mr.. Strother
represented the defendants. The
verdict was guilty and the ser tence
