The Anderson Grand Jury.

The Anderson Grand Jury reported
to Judge Benct on the labor contract
sensation in that county. There seems
10 have been u full investigation and
some parsics, wealthy people and their
agents are recommended TO be indicted
for false imprisonment and assaults.
The indictments Will come on TO be
tried at the June term Of the Sessions
Court. The report is moderate, very,
in terms, and the work seems to have
been bravcly done. The actlon of the
Grand Jury proves a healthy public
sentiment In Anderson county and
damns the effort Of yellow J0urual-
ism" which would make the conduct OF
a few bad parties representative of u
great community.
one }. j. Gilmer.a magistrate, seems
to have been engaged in II wholesale
business of small and NEAR cases, and
pocketing the fees that belonged tt
the county. He had appropriated the
ices In 40 cases from October 80 tC
January 1901, and it seems he had
cases in which he turned in the fees
Assuredly unless this fellow had {;
monopoly Of the criminal prosecutions
Anderson must be in u bad way. Judg.
Benet complimented the Grand Jury
upon their admirable discharge of 3
duty that tested their manhood.

Our Financial Look

Our readers will recall our
ment that Sl5, 900 Of our matured II. II.
Bonds were negotiated by Supervisor
Adair at 4! ,refunding Bonds bearing !
per cent. per mum. The transaction
was completed on last Thursday, Su-
pervisor Drummond receiving Sl5,-
444.9O for the new Bonds, dated Feb
ruary |, 1901, and due at 3OIyears and
cancelling $4,000 of ! per cent. Bonds.
An Atlanta party takes the new Bonds
and was represented by MIR. w. r..
ltichey, while Supervisor Drummcnd
was represented 10y Messrs. Simpson Il
Cooper. S~eVeuty-live thousand dollars
mature within two years and there is
no question but they may be refunded
on equally good terms. Since the
building of the several roads, the basis
OF the debt, taxable property in tho
county has nearly doubted. With the
~refunding of the existing bonds at a
reasonable interest, 1T will bs practical
bic to provide a sinking fund and at an
early day have our county financially
in an enviablc condition. In the mean
while 1T is a matter of congratulation
that we are floating II bonds at the
same rate of the State of South Caro-
lima.

ST Louis. Dec. 5.--A shovel in the
hands Of President David r. Francis
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
to be held in St. Louis in 1903. will
furnish the subject for new page of
American history on December 20,
1901 On that day the formal break
fng OF ground on the Worlds Fair site
in Forest Park will take place. Elab-
crate preparations for the great event
are going forward rapidly. From the
day, 9S years ago, when the formal
transfer of the Territory of Louisia-
ma was made by France to the United
States of America at New Orleans, no
event has occurred in the transmits
sissippi country of so great impor-
lance as the beginning of the con-
struction of tue international EXPOSE
ton celebrating the centennial ami
versary of the acquisition of that ter
ritory. A great military and civic
parade will be one of the features of
the ceremonies, in which all the states
ana territories carved out OF the Lou
tsiana territory hNve been invited,
Though their governors, to partici-
pate.
President Roosevelt has promised to
be at these ceremonies if business is
not pressing at lAat time.
Hon. James A. Tawney, the Mime
sofa congressman, will be the princi-
pal orator of the occasion, he having
already accepted the invitation ex-
tended him.
All business IN St Louis will prae
ideally be suspended on that day by
proclamation of the mayor, and the
city VIII be handsomely decorated
with flags and bunting.
