to battle for the cause Of the plain but
sovereign people. I certainly enjoyed

Court.

The court of general sessions began
here last Monday, with His Honor
Judge D. E. Hvdrick OF Spartanbure
presiding. This was Judge Hydrick,s S
first term here, and his manner OF con.
ducting the court, his charges to the
iuries, grand and petit, made very
favorable impression. His charge tc
the grand jury was out of the usual
order, unique and impressive. On ac-
count of rush of advertising coming
in late we are. much to our regret,
forced to leave out the judges charge
this week, but our readers shall have
it in our next issue. 1t is good
There was very little for the court to
do. Marion Smith, who was tried at a
former term, charged with attempting
an assault upon colored woman.
which resulted in a mistrial, was al
this term acquitted. He had no lawyer
this term.
Isaac Severance was acquitted of the
charge of murder.
! Nelson Brunson was convicted OF as
sault and battery with intent to Kill
and sentenced to 9 months on the gang,
Adger Brunson was convicted in two
cases, larceny of livestock and house
breaking, and sentenced to s years.
The grand jury threw out the case
against Joe Sprott, colored, charged
with adultery.
In the matter of the rule to show
cause against Magistrate Keels OF Pax
vile, at the request OF the grand jury,
the rule was dismissed.
In the matter of the rule against J.
S. Sellers, ex-mag gistrate, charged with
holding fines and fees collected, the
rule was dismissed upon Sellers turning
over said collected fnes,and fees. This
ended the court of sessions.

Enter Early.

Parents who wish their children to
enter the first grade will please send
them this week. If they do not SEND
them next week they cannot enter tn
next session unless they can be classl:
fed. It is unfair to the teacher and
pupils to be so frequently forming new
classes. Children who were promoted
to other grades cannot enter the grades
to which they were promoted without
examination unless they come within
the next two weeks. Sickness will
make some difference.

dications are that he will be ready to
turn over the Treasurer's Duplicate by

collection of taxes to commence.
The Superintendent of Education S

PRESENTMENT.

AS~%e-N&~N
To His Honor D. E. Hydrick Presiding
Judge: :
We report that we have considered
and passed upon all bills OF indictment
handed us by the Solicitor.
The jail committee, appointed at the
February term Of court, visited the
iail and found it in fairly clearly and
well kept condition.
The chaingang committee found
eleven convicts in the gang, all Of whom
were in good health and seemed to be
well fed and properly clothed.
The committee on Education visited
the school buildings throughout the
county, and it is gratifying to report
all of them in fairly comfortable condi-
ton.
We do. however, recommend that
the Superintendent of Education make
his annual visits to the schools before
the winter months and see that ample
heating arrangements are provided be-
fore the coming of the severe cold
weather. 1t is with pleasure we report
an increasing interest in the cause OF
education as is shown by the number
of special school levies the people
have voted on themselves, there now
being seventeen special school districts
in the county.
The committee appointed to examine
Public Records employed Mr.. c. J.
Lesesne as expert to, do this work,
which he did and we append his report
hereto and make it a part OF this pre-
sentiment.
Our court house is a reflection upon
our county and entirely inadequate to
our needs. We would recommend that
our Senator and Representatives at the
next converting of our legislature try
and devise some means by which we
can build new court house that will
amply supply the needs Of our pros
porous county, and be an ornament to
our county seat.
At the last term OF court We pre-
sented Magistrate J. Il. Keels for col
| lecting fines failing to turn over all OF
same to proper officers. We append a
return of Magistrate Keels, which is
satisfactory to the grand jury, and We
respectfully ask His Honor to dismiss
the ruling against him.
! We present r. Manson Turner and
! Cornelius Jackson, alias Monk Jackson
FOR living in Auditory and give as ma
terial witnessnes, Lowden Jackson,
Charlie Green, B. F. Mahoney, and
Alex LawSen.
! We thank your Honor for the clear
and comprehensive charge given, and
7 courtesies shown US.
! All of which IS respectfully submit
ted by the grand jury.
