The grand jury was charged as usu-
al in a general way and at once enter
ed upon it's duty of considering the
various bills of indictment that had
been prepared for it by the Solicitor.
The first jury case taken up was that
Of the State against J. M. McGill,
charged with the assault and battery
grew out of the rowdyism at the Will
kerson school last summer as the result
of which a little daughter Of the late
Mr.. T. H. Leslie was painfully shot.
The defendant was charged with having
done the shooting. Major James F.
Hart appeared for the defense, and
Thomas F. Mellow. Esq. assisted the
prosecution. Messrs. J. M. Leech, L..
G. Wylie, Vines Howell and w. S. Will
kerson testified in behalf Of the State.
The testimony Of these witnesses was
to the effect that the defendant was
making himself conspicuous in the
crowd with a bottle of whisky in one
pocket and a pistol in the other. They
were certain that he fired his pistol
and 1t was quite evident that one Of
the shots fired by him struck the 1t
tie girl. OF course, they could not
testify that he fired with the intention
of hitting anybody. The defense Of

DURING the dispensary campaign IN
Greenwood some time ago, the ques-
ton of the failure of the law to pro-
vide for the removal Of dispensaries
where they should prove unsatisfac-
tory, was raised. and somebody wrote
to Chairman l.. J. Williams about the
matter. Mr.. Williams cited number
of cases where dispensaries had been
removed by the state board, and made
it very clear that the board would not
continue a dispensary against the de-
sire of majority Of the qualified Vot-
ers, etc. This would certainly be my
position in the matter he said. The
letter was published at the time, and
in connection with the boards indif-
ference to the almost unanimous petit
ton of citizens Of Saluda the Green
wood Journal has printed 1t again.
The fact Of the business Is that with
the exception Of Tirzah the board has
never abolished a paying dispensary,
and we do not think it will unless 1t is
forced to do so. The question with
the board Is not what the people
want; but how much profit Is in
volved.

CABLES from Colombia indicate
great excitement and Indignation
throughout the country on account OF
the Panama revolution and the action
of the United States in connection
Herewith. The people are reported to
be offering their: property /" and; their
services to the government for the
purpose Of Furnishing the rebels and
crushing out the rebellion. 1t is claim
ed that Colombia can easily raise more
than hundred thousand men, and
that the unanimous sentiment is in ia
vor of marching on Panama forthwith
In view of the determination of the
United States, however, not to permit
the landing of troops, the Colombians
are quite helpless.

fered nothing in reply, and after ar
gument by counsel the case went to
the jury which, after but short delib-
Grafton returned q verdict Of guilty Of
assault and battery" The court i'm
posed a fine Of SIS, which was prompt
ly paid.
During the proceedings of yesterday,
Solicitor Henry announced that he
would not give out bills in the case of
M. S. billiard, supervisor of bridges for
the Charleston division Of the South
ern and r. G. Johnson, policeman OF
Fort Mill, charged with causing the
death Of Norman some time ago. In
the case of Mr.. billiard, there was no
evidence to show individual RESPONSE
bility for the collapse Of the trestle.
If the collapse was because of negh-
gence or carelessness, the responsible
ity was divided among all the officials
of the road, and could not be fixed on
Mr.. billiard alone. The case was there
fore mol pressed. The case against
Policeman Johnson was continued
The solicitor said that the conditions
were very much the same as In the
other case; but he would put 1t on the
contingent docket, to be taken up In
the light of possible new testimony.
The case Of Thos. Moten, charged
with disorderly conduct on the public
highway, was remanded to Magistrate
R. L. A. Smith for trial.
John Witherspoon charged with
larceny, was acquitted.
Will Hampton was arraigned on the
charge Of murder and the trial was
set for today.
Reese Witherspoon and Lee Heath
plead guilty Of the charge of house
breaking and larceny. Heath was SEN
fenced to the chaingang for three
months and Witherspoon for thirty
days.
John Anderson plead guilty OF
housebreaking and larceny and was
sentenced to ten months on the chain
gang.
The grand jury has considered all
the bills Of indictment placed in Its
hands by the solicitor, but will not
make its final presentrnent until late
this afternoon or upon the assembling
of court tomorrow morning:
The probability is that the sessions
business Of. the term will be disposed
of during tomorrow or Thursday.

decide which is the best route; and If
the advantages Of this route over any
other possible route are sufficiently
marked we should give them notice

ment Of Columbias three big cotton
mills, we beg to call attention to the
fact that the Richland distillery and

disinherited him and would reduce
him to the degradation of having but
seventeen wives-the greatest OF all
humiiations for the son of father.
We have a few more sultans in our
island possessions, but the majority
of them have not arrived at the dig
nifty of a place in history or the
American press.
Having seen the success of Ills
Nibs of Sulu and His Nobs of De-

come to the front with some Of their

This is the season of the year
when the housewife begins to over
haul the winter clothing OF the fam

Having decided what she will need
to complete the wardrobe of her fam

the advertising columns Of this pa

can be obtained. But if she is a
member of that class who believe the

ment to offer she will spend time and
money in travel. rush from store to

for fear Of missing the return train,
and come home tired dirty and load

On examining her purchases, she
will find that she has bought moth

the selection.
She will also find. after comparing
prices and adding the cost To hen

There are some fine stores and pro

ROOSEVELT ON LABOR.

The Presidents Labor Day speech
at Syracuse was not such as to aud
materially to his fame as a fearless
statesman, but rather puts him in the
ranks with the political trmmers
The speech is marked by an entire
absence Of any discussion of the
problems which are of vital interest
TO both labor and capital, while it
is replete with platitudes and enco-
miums for all. The president evil
IDENTIFY desired to please the labor ele-
ment without giving Offense to Wall
street and in this effort he simply
succeeded in making himself ridicu-
lous
The presidents address could with
equal propriety have been deliVc ed
before gathering OF college stu
dents or Of professional men for it
contained nothing but glittering gen
eralities and while its moral tone was
most excellent. it contained nothing
to assist the laboring man in solving
the difficulties by which he is always
confronted This is the more to be
regretted because the president is in
a position to shape legislation and
his silence upon the subject no doub.
means that no effort is to be made
by congress to enact any leglS.a tlon
affecting the relations between cap
ital and labor.
On the day that the president de-
flyered his address at Syracuse the
press dispatches announced that the
railroad magnates and other capt
talists had agreed to stop all con-
struction and building improvements
for 1904 on account Of the labor stu
alton. Tho amount of railroad i'm
provcments alone thus cancelled was
given at $4,000 900 In other words
the wOrkmen are to DE starved into
submission and every sign points to
serious troubln before long. In view
Of this situation it would seem that
compulsory arbitration or some other
method should be tried for the pur-
pose of protecting the general pub
lie as we'll as the laboring man, but
with President Roosevelt on the
fence between capital and labor there
is but small chance of anything being
done

Our SultanS.

There was time when our PEG
pie didn't know much about what
sort of a critter a sultan is. But
change and now we have a good
sized family of them in our Philip
pine possessions. Some of them are
good, some want to be good and
others are good because they have
to be.
When we first took possession of
the islands the sultan of Sulu gave us
much trouble and furnished the yel
low press some occasion for dispos-
ing of their sheets i'll special editions
but his high mightiness of Sulu is
good-f he isn't Sunday school
teacher. or an American politician.
He is content to live on our gold
and the labor of his numerous wives
And all because our guns and bayo-
nets are more powerful than his bows
and arrows.
But his dusky majesty of Sulu has
a rival for American honors in the
/ person of the sultan of Deseen.
And his highness of Deseen is
great and good and picns-as sultans
go.
He is pious because he would reap
of the bounty Of Uncle Sam-as all
sultans are.
But the sublime mogul of the De
seems has son-and such a son,
Recently some American officers
visited the sons fathers court and
said conrtly nothings TO the father
Of the son, and the son Immediately
became imbued with the conviction
that he was greater than the great
est of all men.
And he proceeded to stamp the i'm,
press of his greatness upon the minds
aad the persons of the officers.
With a few choice spirits he insult
= ed the American flag and danced .
war dance around the officers much
to the discomfort of the said officers
whose dignity received a great shock
But h graciously refrained from
depriving the said officers of any
thing more than their dignity

King Peter of Servia is in trouble
already and is threatening to abdl-
cate vamoose. absquatulate. or get
out any old way he can. When Peter
assembled the throne of Servia, reek-
ing with the blood Of the murdered
Alexander and Draga he did a very
foolish thing. He took no steps TO-
ward Furnishing the assassins or the
former king and queen. but instead
allowed them to dominate things IN
general. No important move was
made by him without consulting the
army, which in reality meant the as
sassins who placed him upon the
throne. Now they are debating TO
him as to his every action. while the
people are clamoring for the down
fall of the military chiefs. Between
the two the poor old king with his
tinsel crown is in a bad way, and
finds his bed anything but the doWny
couch Of royalty.
