Grand Jury Presentmsnt.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
3 COUNTY "F WILLIAMSBURG.

COUNTY oF WILLIAMSBURG.
To the Hon r 0 Purdy, Judge
presiding at the spring term of
court, We, the Grand Jury, beg to
submit this our preseutment:
We have passed upon all bills
handed us by the Solicitor With care
full consideration and have returned
true bills in each case. Four Of the
nine bills handed us were for mur-
! der. Of those so charged, three are
still at large. We dsplore this spirit
of lawlessness and would urge that
the proper authorities take all pos
sibie steps to bring the guilty par
ties to justice.
We visited the Jail and found
everything in proper order and the
prisoners we'll cared for. We are
glad TO report that the contract for
the new Jail has been let and that
the county will have safe and COM
Portable prison.
We visited each of the county Of
fees and found them all neatly kept.
A thorough examination of the books
was not made, but a committee of
three, composed of ". r Bryan, Olin
Epps and H D Reddick, with P H
Stoll, Esq, as expert, was appointed
TO make recess examination of the
same.
We did not send a committee to
visit the chaingahg, as two of the
~grand jury live near where the gang
I is now working, and have reported
that good work is being done and
that the prisoners were well treated.
The chaingang is now eighteen miles
! from the court house and it is mex
pedient to visit it at this time.
Our attention has been called to
+ the bad condition of the road be-
tween Cades and Indiantown and We
recommend that the proper authori
ties have this road worked as soon as
possible. We are glad to report that
! the roads generally throughout the
county are better now than we have
ever known them, and We commend
the Supervisor for the up-to-date
methods Of road building he has
adopted and the material improve
ment he is making on the highways.
We submit herewith a statement
of S NJ Askins, foreman of the last
grand jury, and of j j B Montgomery,
county auditor, giving certain infor-
mation of the settlement mace with
be estate of the late treasurer, R D
Rollins. This statement is self ex-
planatory.
We extend our thanks to your hon,
or for your able and clear exposition
of the law and for courtesies shown
us, Also to our worthy Solicitor for
instructions given us, whereby we
were more readily enabled to dis
charge our duties.
Respectfully submitted,
". r. BRYAN,
~ Foreman.

There is trouble in the ranks OF
Territorial Republicans. The follow
ing appears in the Las Vegas Optic,
one of the leading Territorial Re-
publican papers under the head of
Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel"
One by one the county conven-
tons of the Territory meet and af-
ter transacting their regular bust
ness, do a little stunt in dust throw
ing. They pass high sounding resolu-
tons in favor of separate statehood
for New Mexico. They blind their
eyes to the fact thai the Republi-
can party which controls the xecu-
tive and legislative branches of the
government has pronounced unitedly
against separate statehood for New
Mexico, while both the President
and leaders in congress have express
sed themselves as favorable to joint
statehood. But the New Mexican Re-
uublicans in one breath endorse the
administration and in the next con-
1emn it's position on the one. point
which ais OF most vital interest to
the Territory. Consistency thou art a
jewel. What a catalogue of can and
bombastic hot air these inconsistent
resolutions would make if presented
to the President. What a commenta-
ry on the ~insincerity or blindness of
New Mexico's politicians they would
make. And President Roosevelt will
know of these. things. He is inter
ested in New Mexico and is desir
pus Of advancing its interests. He
will be encouraged by the resolu-
lions of the Republican county con
ventions of the territory"

The first speech OF Judge Parker IS
a gem. Il Is timely and force9l. u
is warning 10 the people Of this

with the platform OF the great Demo
cratic party in ccntending for consti-
tutional methods OF government and
the position and purposes Of the par
ty regarding the trusts. the tariii, the
money question, imperialism and Mill
tarism.
The present tariff. law is declared
unjust Ia its operations. There is not
even 4 promise of revision in the Re
publican platform. The plank relating
TO this most important public question
was carefully and deceitfully phrased.
so that It is expected TO be satisfac'
tory to those in favor OF an increase OF
duty. TO those who favor reduction
thereof, ami 10 those opposed to any
change whatever. There has been nc
reduction since March 4, 1897. yet the
original war tarin act was passed wth
a promise TO relieve the people OF

Of the war would permit Judge
Parker iavors reasonable reduction
Of the tarifi, and believes that the pop

in case the Democrats elect the presi-
