Now, you would naturally think that
among all this horror there would be
weeping. wailing and gnashing of teeth.
For a fact going around as l did, l

guess they thought they had to do
something, so had better weep. AS a

Work of Relief.

Then the work Of relief began. Ev-
cry store was emptied of it's contents
by order of the authorities and carted
off to be distributed later on. Troops
with loaded rifles soon appeared and
"the mailed fist" was the order of the
day.
Orders were issued to shoot down
anyone found looting or setting out
fires, and rigidly these orders were
construed. Many were killed, most of
whom deserved even a worse fate than
being shot down. Mistakes were GER
tainly made and innocent people killed
by the men clothed with that little
brief authority that makes angels weep.
I Yet the greatest good to the greatest
number prevailed and to Mayor
SchmitZ and General Funston belongs
the credit of saving the city from
the bands of looters and anarchists
who would have made the existing
horrors worse but for their timely and
rigid orders. They proved diamonds

Why Was Latimer Neglected.

Did the State Democratic Convention
forget that South Carolina is repre-
sented in the United States Senate by
more than n person.
The strong affirmative endorsement
of Senator Tillman cannot but make
conspicuous the quiet, calm tcetotalism
with which the name of the Hon. AS
bury G. Latimer was kept out of the
proceedings. Indeed, there is danger
that persons of sourish disposition may
construe the contrast in treatment of
the two Senators to mean that the ell
der, not to say better, statesman was
in need of the injection of some heroic
elixir of encouragement from home.
In u own opinion, the Convention
out of the benevolent impulses of it's
heart, simply could not but cry
''Bravo!" to a lusty fighter in the stress
of combat, and cheer a ''strong swim
mer in his agony"
Nevertheless, m cannot but discern
a curious chilliness towards Senator
Latimer on the part of the South Caro-
lima Democracy, and we are inclined to
think that the Convention unwittingly
made a mistake in neglecting to bestow
a few gently approving pats upon his
broad shoulders. News and Courier.

GRAND JuRY's REPORT.
Presentment for the Summer Term OF
Court OF General Sessions.

To His Honor Charles G. Dantzler,
Presiding Judge:
The Grand Jury beg to submit the
following as their final presentment for
this term
l. We have carefully examined all
bills handed to us by the Solicitor, and
have acted upon same as in judg-
ment was just and proper.
2 AS recommended in our last pre-
sentiment, we again call the attention
of the County Supervisor to the fact
that a sewerage system is badly needed
in the courthouse and Jail buildings, and
that such sewerage be put in and con
pleted by the next term of court, or as
soon as the Supervisor can conveniently
do so.
8. The committee appointed to ex-
anime the premises, buildings, ETC., at
the County Home, beg to report that
they find everything in good condition,
the houses neatly kept, the premises
clean, and the inmates comfortably pro-
vided for, and express themselves as
being kindly treated by the Matron,
Miss Jane Starnes.
A.. The committee appointed to in
vestigate the books of the county of
ficers, report that they have not been
able to make the investigation as yet,
but will do so on the 30th of June next,
in connection and with the assistance of
the County Auditor.
s. We would call attention to the
fact that this body deem it advisable
that the wood on the county farm be
used only for the use of the County
Home and the chain gang.
6. We recommend that Will Boyd,
Arthur MCGOWAN and John MCGOWAN
be prosecuted by the Solicitor, and that
a warrant or indictment be issued
against them for unlawfully carrying
deadly weapons as was brought to Ii
notice in inquirmg into the cause of the
killing of Hosea MCGOWAN.
z. In conclusion, we desire to thank
your Honor, the Solicitor and other
officers of the court for various courte-
sizes shown us during this session. Also
ask that we be discharged from further
attendance upon this court.
Respectfully submitted,
P. A. SIMPSON,
Foreman Grand Jury.
