GRAND JURY PRBSENTMENT.
June Term, 1900.

To bis Honor the presiding Judge:
The Grand Jury beg leave herewith to SUD-
NIT their final report for this term:
We passed upon all matters submitted to
Us. We have examined the public buildings
and find them in good condition. We rec
ommend that the we'll at the Jail be put In
better shape-its condition Ia bad.
We find the Poor House 10 be In good condi'
tion, the inmates properly cared for, and the
farm admirably managed. We CONN mend the
administration Of the present overseer.
AS far as we have been able to learn the
roads OF the county are In good co3dition.
To this, however, there is one exception.
That portion OF the road from Honea Path 10
the line OF Green wood county has been repre-
sented as being In bad condition. The mat
ter was referred to the Supervisor, who mas
given assurance that this particular road
shall have bis prompt attention.
William Nance, a colored man, VINO mad
been on the county chain gang for one montn
came before our body and exhibited certain
marks and sores upon his legs, which ne
claimed resulted from the shackles being TOO
tight After investigation. we are convinced
no cruelty was intended, but as matter OF
precaution, we suggest that In future care Do
taken on the parfof the overseers IN charge'
to see that the wearing Of shackles by co.,
victs be attended with as little pain as POSI-
BILE. >"ISyI,
An application was made TO as to lease the
Court room, to be used for theatrical perform
ances; but after due consideration. It was
thought to be unwise to change the action OF
the Grand Jury Of 1899 with reference to this
matter, and we, therefore, recommend thai
the keeping Of the Court room and furniture
be left in the hands of the Supervisor ana
Clerk, where the law has placed them.
In view Of the fact that the annual settle
ments Of the County officers have not YET
been made, the Grand Jury have made no ex.' .,
smipations OF said offices at this term, deierS
ring said examination TIL the October term
Expressing our thanks to his Honor and
the Solicitor for courtesies, etc. Do
80, Respectfully submitted.

The Charleston Exposition.

Let no man misunderstood this newspaper
We are not opposed to the Exposition. But
we are dead against the bulldozing methods
to which It's friends have resorted In their
treatment OF the Bamberg Herald, and We
think Charleston should not ask the people
TO pay the expense Of her show.
The appropriation OF public money for
doubtful purposes, 1t seems to us, is alwaysa
proper subject for discussion. !,

TALKED OF.
EASTERN STAR LADIES
ARE THE PRIME MOVERS,
Gould Be Located in a Garden Spot
i About Sixty Miles From This
City-Raising Funds.

In all probability members of the
Masonic fraternity in this section who
have through misfortune or infirmity
lost their hold on the march Of progress
on earth will soon have a home in which
they can remain until summoned before
the Grand Master of the Universe. The
question of establishing such a home has
been under discussion by the various
state lodges of Masons and their auxil-
larry, the order of Eastern Star. for some
time,s but it was not until recently that
decisive steps We're taken towards the
comsummation of the project. The order
of the Eastern Star bears the same rela-
ton to the Masonic body as do the
Daughters of Rebeka to the Odd Fellows
and the Degree of Honor to the Ancient
Order of United Workmen it is the ladies
branch of the order. The ladies of this
body are among the prime movers in the
establishment of the proposed home, and
for the purpose of raising money with
which to furnish 1t after it's completion
have arranged to give a ball in this city
in the near future. The building of the
home is an assured fact, but just where
it will be located has not yet been deter
mined. The committee of Masons in
whose charge the matter now is has Sc
lected several sites and will doubtless de-
eide upon one of them. A most desirable
spot on which some figuring is being done
is located about fifty or sixty miles from
this city. It is a veritable garden of ev-
erything good that nature produces.

TOOK A SHOT At TIL EN-.
Townsend Man Arrested in Butte for
a Gun Play at Radersburg.

Last night Detective Ray arrested
Theodore Scharsf, at AS kemper avenue
on a telephone message from Sheriff
Pool Of Townsend. 1t appears that about
six weeks ago the man, who has some
mining property at Radersburg, came to
Butte and marketed a lot of ore. With
the proceeds of the sale he started out
to celebrate, and was doing fairly well
until he met May Jewel in a Galena street
resort. He claimed that the woman rob-
bed him Of about $3.50, and caused her
arrest. These difficulties kept him in
Butte some time. n when he returned
to Radersburg he u that two men
named Godfree and Jewet had taken pos
session of his mine. Theodore drove them
off. but later they returned to the cabin,
when he took a shot at them, but did
not hit either of the men. He returned
to Butte a few days ago. The other YER
sion Of the affair is hat the ore marketed
by Theodore belonged to these men, and
that the shooting was the result of an
effort on their part to make him settle
for the money he had squandered.

FREE v1TAscoPE EXHIBIT r1oNs.

The free exhibition of vitascope pic
lures to be given in our city, opposite
the old High school building on East
Broadway. commencing August 80, a
change in programme made nightly,
promises to be a big treat for our citiz-
ems. The press from other cities where
the exhibition has been given speak
highly of it, both as to drawing large
audiences and also being executed equal
to similar exhibitions in play houses. vi
tascope pictures never fail to attract
large audiences, and are at the present
time the leading attractions in the thea
tiers of New York city. We trust they
will be we'll received in our city, it being
unusual for our citizens to have a free
exhibition given them of this magnitude.
See the burning of the North German
Lloyd steamers. This has made a big
hit in New York theaters. From the Lit
tie Rock Gazette: 1.-The free exhibition
of v~itascope pictures continues to draw
large and we'll pleased audiences at the
corner of Fifth and Main. Last night
the street was blockaded. People came
in carriages and remained all through

plause every one was well pleased"

COUNTY INSTITUTES.
superintendent Carleton Issues An
Address Regarding Them.

State Superintendent Carleton has is
sued his annual address to the county
superintendents in which he calls espe-
cial ttentio to county Institutes, and
urges that great care be exercised in
bringing them up to the highest stand
ard. For al institute of five days, the
superintendent holds that two instruc-
tors will give better results than a larger
number. It is the duty Of all teachers,
in their school work. to make physical
exercise a part of the daily programme
of the schools. This is a require ment of
law, and applies to high schools with the
same force as to others, and failure to
comply with the rule will be grounds for
revoking the certificate Of any teacher.
The superintendent appeals to the zeal
and intelligence of eachers in all the pub
lie school, to raise the standard Of edu-
cation and to make a record for the
ensuing year that would b in advance
of the past.
