REPORT OF The GRAND JURY.

County Offices In Creditable Condition
Plain Talk About Road Working
Holding Inquests For the Fees Con-
demned.
The grand jury was discharged last
Wednesday morning, after submitting
the following as its final report:
l. We have passed upon all the bills
submitted to us by the solicitor during
the present term, and returned the same
to court with our finding thereon.
2. In obedience to the provisions of
the recent act of the general assembly,
the supervisor has submitted to our
foreman written report of the result
of the examination of magistrates dock
els by the county board of commits
sioners, which said report is hereunto
attached and made part Of this pre-
sentiment.
8. We have, through or expert, Mr..
E. E. Poag, examined fully and carefully
into the details Of the management and
present condition of the various county
offices, and we deem it matter of coun-
ty pride to be able to report that all of
the county Offices are conducted properly,
and in a businesslike manner by honest
and efficient officers. The report of our
expert is hereto attached and made part
of our presentment.
4. We find in travelling over the coun-
ty, that many of the public roads are in a
bad condition, and we are convinced that
a great many of our overseers have not
required their hands to work four full
days on their sections, and we, therefore,
recommend that all overseers who neg
lect to perform their duty on or before the
31st day of December next, be arrested
and punished as the law directs. Should
the fault lie with township commission
ers, or the county board Of commission
ers, we recommend that they be punished
as the law directs. We do especially
recommend that the supervisor and coun-
ty board of commissioners see to it that
every overseer in the county who has not
worked out his full time, perform such
duty between now and the 3lst day OF
December next.
5. Our attention has been called to an
unwholesome disposition on the part of
the coroner and magistrates acting as cor
oner, together with physicians, to hold
unnecessary inquests for the sake of the
post mortem and other fees involved.
We recommend that the county board of
commissioners hereafter exercise as much
care as possible to prevent the abuse or
evasion of laws relating to inquests by
coroners, magistrates acting as coroners,
and by physicians, At the same time,
we call upon our fellow citizens to see to
it that inquests shall be held wherever
they are really I ece ,sary for the proper
administration of justice.
6. We desire to express, our sincere
thanks to your honor, and to the circuit
solicitor and to the other court officials,
for assistance rendered us, and courtesies
extended to us in the performance of our
duty. GEO. A. CowAN, Foreman.

"Guilty," but Penitent.

Among the specialists whom the gov
ernment employs here in Washington
is learned gentleman who was once
the superintendent of Sabbath school.
One Of the stories he tells of that epoch
is of day when visiting clergyman
addressed the school. On the very front
seat sat pale little boy who had come
to Sunday school that morning for the
first time in his life. He watched the
visiting clergyman with almost painful
interest The visiting clergyman was
large man, with great. dark eyes and
q voice like unto that Of the bull OF
Basham. He rose.
Children" he thundered, "who
made this glorious UNIVERSE"
His black eyes glared fiercely at the
new boy on the front seat. The urchln
squirmed and trembled.
II did, SIR" he said huskily, "but
won't ever do it again. Z"

The CHILL TONIC TRAGEDY.
Further Particulars About the Recent Sad
Occurrence at Edgemoor.

Further Particulars About the Recent Sad
Occurrence at Edgemoor.
The Rock Hill correspondent of the
Columbia State, gives the following
additional details about the recent
chill tonic tragedy at Eigemoor:
The cause of death in the cases of
Mrs. P. M. Blanks and little Wade,
her son, appears somewhat obscure as
yet. The circumstances are as fol-
lows: On one day last week, Mr.. P
M. Blanks, farmer living below here,
purchased couple Of bottles of chill
tonic (-peciaD from Mr.. Sidney Rob-
inson's store. Taking it home he ad-
ministered dose, as directed, to Mrs.
Blanks. In an hour she was taken
suddenly i'll and expired in a few
moments. The doctor called reached
there two hours after her death and
did not suspect poisoning, no one
mentioning the dose she had taken.
He said that in all probability she had
died from heart failure and then went
on his way. After the doctors depart
ure some of the neighbors present gave
the children doses of the tonic. AL
most Immediately they were taken
violently i'll, and DR.. Woodham was
recalled. He administered emetics and
succeeded in saving the younger chill
dren's lives, but Wade the Oldest boy
died. In the meantime DR.. Fennel, of
Rock Hill, had been sent for and had
responded. The coroner was called
and his jury rendered verdict of
death from causes unknown to the
jury"
The physicians held an autopsy and
gave the following certificate to the
coroner:
"This is to certify that we have made an
autopsy upon the body of Mrs. p. NJ.
Blanks and find nothing microscopically
abnormal"

A sample of the chill tonic Especial
was brought to the city and examined
and tested by Myron H. Sandifer,
competent chemist, the reaction show
ed the presence of atropine-in what
quantity could not be determined.
The chill tonic is one put by the Bur-
we'll & Dunn company, of Charlotte,

"tasteless" tonic.
Mrs. Blanks having died so long a
time before the arrival of physician,
nothing of her symptoms could be
ascertained but the children show
ed the flushing of the skin and the
dilation of the pupil peculiar to poison
ing from belladonna.
The contents of the stomachs were
sent by the coroner to the solicitor for

SIMPLY SLAUGHTER.
How Doves Are Being Killed by
the Wholesale.
(San Francisco Field Sports.)

(San Francisco Field Sports.)
Stories Of good bags Of doves are fill
ing the columns Of our exchanges from
all sections Of the State except the
higher localities Many of the bags re-
ported are truly phenomenal, and show
a spirit on the part of the shooters
that is by no means commendable. The
doves are driven away from their usual
haunts this year by the scarcity of feed
and water, and are therefore found in
favorable localities in much greater
numbers than usual.
The sportsman who goes into these
places where the birds have been COM
PEELED to congregate in order to pre-
serve an existence and kills them by the
bag of six, ten and even twelve dozens,
is not performing a feat that he should
be in any way proud of. Next year
when he goes out, and after days S
tramp returns with an empty bag, he
may then realize the wantonness of his
work now.
Unreasonable slaughter is not sport,
it is not policy, it is not good judgment,
and the men who will boast of the kill
ing of 100 or 80 doves in a days shoot
boast only of the lack of the instincts
of the sportsman, and the possession of
those of the meat hunter.
Such men can only be restrained by

Renewed Interest Being Shown by

Although Company G did not have
an opportunity to go to the war ana

enthusiastic in the duty of the soldier
as if their fondest hopes had been real
lied. Many of the companys men
managed to join other companies that
did get into service, and their places
are being filled as rapidly as possible by
select material. There are few gaps
yet in the ranks, but they will probably
soon be filed.

men may be drilled in company evolu-
tions they cannot kill the enemy in bat
tie unless they can shoot. Commenc-
ing with this month, medals will be

Mrs Neidlein, who lives on Eighth

The Neidlein home has never been

heretofore it has been the man, and not
the woman, who has borne the blame.
Neidlein, it appears, was out walking
