Grand JurieS.
A Plea for a More Thorough
Investigation Into the FL
nanCial Affairs of Counties.

From Newberry Observer.
"We find the books of the
county treasurer neatly kept"
ETC., etc.
So say the grand juries. So no
doubt the grand juries have been
saying in Greenville and Rich
land and Edgefield and Dorches-
ter for 10 these many years. And
the continding public thought it
all right. But investigating ccm-
mittees have found that in the
last six years about a hundred
thousand dollars have been stolen
in Greenville, that Richland is
$4,000 out of pocket, Edgefield
$4,000, Dorchester $4,000.
What does a grand jury in
vestlgation amount to anyway ?
In these cases it seems thew
amount to nothing, tor If we are
not mistaken not one of the
shortages named was found bv
that body. And why MOI? There
ought to be men with sense
enough on every grand jury TO
ascertain positively whether
county officer is shOrt-whether
there has been extravaganza or
THEFT or graft or carelessnc SSH
short whether the Office is finan
cially straight. Neatly kept"
books do not always mean a
clean" record. The committees
appointed by the grand iuries
have plenty of time to ascertain
the real condition OF affairs in
the county offices, TO examine
every claim and voucher and
bank deposit, and to find out 10 p
certainty whether there is any
sh9rtage-if they would on,
take time iOr il and not be afraid
Of offending their friends IN Office

honesty Of a mn tur office 4, I,l q.

bic regret, we filed away the
last issue of The Review, never
more to receive its welcome
weekly visits. But The News
is all right. Bright, clean, neat
and newsy, with the same edi-
tor who made The Review so
interesting and so popular, as
editor, The News will meet with
great public favor, no doubt.
As we, with a great many
others, hoped, the dispens ary
election in Lancaster county re-
suited in an overwhelming vic
tory for "no dispensary." And
so the dispensary must go and
we believe that if every one will
work hard and pull together for
a strict observance of the prohi-
bition law, there will be less,
considerably less liquor drank
in the county than ever before,

The great slump in the cot
ton market during the last few
days, came as a thunder clap
from a clear sky to a great
many people, who we're conf
IDENTIFY expecting to see the mar
ket steadily advance, with little
thought of any decline whate-
yer. But the farmers have
shown their wisdom by holding
their cotton off the market,
since the price went below 10
cents, and we believe, with
Harvie Jordan, that if they will
hold while longer, good prices
will come later on, for there is
no questioning the fact that the
crop is small and the demand
for cotton goods as great, posi-
bly, greater than ever. But as
a Macon cotton buyer says,
"You can never tel about horse
races, women and the cotton
market" "
President Roosevelt, on his

Grand Jury's Report.
A Strong Paper--Condition
OF the Public Roads--Law
in Regard to Road Work
ing Must be Strictly En-
forced.

The grand jury, having con.
Guided its laborS at the present
term OF court, made its fnll re-
port Wednesday afternoon and
was discharged. The report is as
follows
To His Honor, O w. Blchan.
an, Presiding Judge.
We, the grand jury of Laucas-
caster county, beg to submit the
following report
We have examined and passed
on all bills OF indlctm ent handed
to US by the Solicitor.
We have examined the books
and papers OF the county officers
and find same neatly and proper
ly kept. Our foreman was pres
ent and saw the annual settle.
ment between the Auditor and
Treasurer and the Comp troller
General of the State, as required
by law, and said settlement was
perfectly satisfactory.
We have, by a committee of
our body, examined the Poor
House and find it in as good con-
dition as can be expected.
In a former report we have re-
ferred to the bad condition of the
roads of our county and we deem
it our duty to again call the at.
tention of the court to their con-
dition. We held an extra meet.
ing of our body in September last
to consider the roads and found
that they were in a depl0rable
condition and not well worked.
We conferred with the County
Supervisor and in accordance
with our demand, he agreed to
give notice to the read overseers
20 warn ont hands and work the
various roads at leas. tour days
between hat time aud the pres.
emf term OF court. We now find
that the roads have not been
worked as agreed upon. In our
opinion to see that the roads are
worked is one of the most impor-
tant duties OF the county super
visor and We teel sure tina, The
customary methods employed in
working the roads OF TINS county
are totally inefficient. We there
fore urge that The law in regard
to road working b. strictly en-
forced and that anyone who is re-
