REPORT LIKE PISTOL
CAUSED EXCITEMENT

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned yesterday afternoon when a re-
port very much like that of a pistol, was
heard, seeming to eminate from Bay

crowd quickly gathered, but the noise
could not be located.
Investigation showed that the report
was caused by an explosion of gas in a
cylinder of a gas engine operated in
Gunby's lavadura mandatory. No
one was hurt.

and We recommend that the CON-

We have heard complaints from

have observed ourselves that tee

calculated TO damage the same. We
recommend that our Commissioners

violations Of the law.
We have appointed ". M. Addy,

Grand Jury's Tresentme1t.

y
Ths State of South Carolina,
County of Lexington.
To Honorable Ernest Gary, Judge
Presiding over the Court OF Gen
eral Sessions for said County and
State at February Term, 1904.
We, the Grand Jury for said County
and State, beg leave to submit the
following as our report:
We have acted on all bills handed
US BY the Solicitor and have reported
the same to the Court with our re-
turns thereon.
A committee OF our body visited
the County Poor House and report
that the property is in good condition,
that there are now only three inmates
all of whom seem satisfied and are
we'll cared for and humanely treated.
We find that one OF the inmates, a
white man, is in need of better cloth
ing ard we recommend that the
County Commissioners look into the
matter al once and supply him with
suitable clothing.
We have made an examination OF
the Court House and Jail, find the
same in good repair and have 40 re-
commendations to make.
It has beer called to our attention
that the County Commissioners paid
the physician for the Jail and Poor
House the sun OF two hundred dol
lars last year for nine months
services, and are under contract to
pay the pysiciau for such practice
duling the present year the sum OF
three hundred dollars. In view OF
the fact that the inmates of both the
Court House and Jail only average
about six the year round, we feel
that such charges are exorbitant and
an imposition upon the tax payers of
the County, and while We can sug-
gest no remedy which can afford us
relief at this time from this burden
some contract already entered into,
still we feel it our duty to make the
matter public by calling attention to
it in this manner 30 that the Com
missioners may be more cautious and
economic in making such contracts IN
making such contracts in the future:
and we recommend that hereafter II
the services Of physician cannot be
obtained by the year for such work
for less price, that then, a physician
be only employed end called IN when

Court.

The February term Ct the Court OF
General Sessions, was convened Mon
day morning with Judge Ernest
Gary, presiding.
The grand Jurors being all present
were organized with Willis NJ. Addy,
of Peak, as foreman.
The attention of the court was
called to the death of Msi. Henry A.
Meetze, whereupon appropriate ex-
ercises in his memory were held, pro.
ceedings of which will appear in the
next issue of the Dispatch.
The court was then adjourned un-
til Tuesday morning, after being in
session fifty five minutes.
Yesterday the business before the
term was concluded:
Frank j. Gould, New York rail
roadsr, who has been in Jail for some
time, answered for breaking into the
Pelion depot and stealing s5 and the
ticket punch. The jury found him
guilty and the court give him one
year on the gang.
John Ssrother, colored, of this
town, was up for gambling. This
was his second appearance. The
first time he got off for $40, about
a year ago. Judge Gary stated that
it was wrong to make an example
out of a darkey who had no influence
on other people, and let the big con-
Germs 60 unharmed. So be give John
s fine CT $40, upon his entering a
plea of guilty.
Col. D. J. Knotts was called to
anawer for closing a neighborhood
road through his field, and the same
was referred to jury. Senator
Sharpe was present and assisted Mr..
AsbiIl in prosecuting the case. The
trial was short, and the verdict was
adverse to MI. Knots.
The only other trial was Cantey
Weston for killing his brother Hill
lard, at Cayce, last summer. Self
defense was the plea, and the jury
sustained it.
MIR. E. L. Asbill, acted for the
Solicitor, and when the cases were
reached, in which Mr.. Asbill repre-
sented the defendants, the court had
to break down, as it did at 6 p. m.
yesterday.
There was no attorney present who
would take the Solicitors place, in
the case of The State vs.. Robert
Little, for violation of the dispensary
law, although the defendant wanted
trial, and all the witnesses were
present, so down went the court.
