To succeed Solicitor Wilson.

There is considerable specu-
lation as to the appointment of
a solicitor to succeed Mr. John
S Wilson, elected circuit judge
by the last general assembly to
succeed r o Purdy, who re-
signed. The appointment is in the
hands of Gov. Ansel, who has re-
cived a number of letters on the
matter, but has not yet announc-
ed his decision. The resigna.
ton of Judge Purdy does not
take effect until August and
the appointment will probably
not be made until then.
Among those who are men
toned for solicitor are Messrs
j B Mclaughlin of Bishop.
vile, Walter H Wells Of Flor
ence, J J Cantey of Summerton,
Harmon Noise of Sumter and
W F Clayton of Florence. All
are receiving strong endorse
ments and the appointment
will be awaited with interest.

CONDITION OF The JAIL.
Judge Memminger Makes Personal
Inspection Finds II Well Kept.

Acting on the presentment of the
grand jury with regard to the con.
dltion of the Jail, Sheriff Graham
made his return to the court, after
hearing which, Judge Memminger
endorsed it as follows:
After hearing the written return
l have personally inspected the H'l
and enqulred into the condition re-
ferred to by the grand jury. | fad
the Jail clean and as well kept as
possible; and the Sheriff is not res
ponsible for the defective condition
of the bath tub, and the fact that
that there will from time to time be
vermin upon the prisoners. The
County Commissioners will not pro-
vide funds TO have the bath tub fix
ed and the Sheriff has no funds for
such purpose. The Sheriff is not
provided with clothing to put on the
prisoners when they are brought in
and they must remain in such
clothes as they have at the time,
and if infected with vermin they
spread to the other prisoners and
cap only be kept In check from time
toFtime by disinfectlon, as is now
done. The return of the Sheriff is
adjudged sufficient so far as he and
his jailer are concerned and the rule
is discharged.
The county commissioners should
forthwith take steps to have the
bath-tub in the Jail repaired and
clothing provided to put on the pris,
oners. which could be kept clean and
used instead of the clothing Of the
prisoners themselves so often ver-
min infected as aforesaid.
Let the presentment of the grand
jury be served upon the said county
commissioners pursuant to my gen.
eral orders and also a certified copy
of this order, and it is so ordered.
Respectfully,
R w MEMNINGER,
Presiding Judge.

NMcourt of general SESSIONS met
here 0iey, June "A, Judge R W
Memm&r, presiding. Stenogra.
pher Wood was in his place and in
the absence of Solicitor Wilson
his law partner, Mr. S OO'Bryan,
discharged the duties Of that import
ant position in such manner that
the interests of the State were well
taken care of. In going over the
circuit as acting solicitor, Mr. o.
Bryan, who is quite a young man
and who, by the way, is nstive of
Williamsburg, has conducted his
cases in highly creditsble manner
and on all sides nothing but praise
has been heard concerning him.
Judge Memminger in charging
the grand jury called attention to
the fact that Solicitor Wilson, who
would on September take his seat
on the Bench. was still too unwell
to be present, but that Mr. O'Brysn.
his law partner, would represent
the State: g cases in an able manner
as he had done around the circuit.
He sdverted to the many homi-
cides in this county but congratu.
lated Williamsburg on the small
number of crimes since the last
court. He stressed the point of
perjury on the stand and expressed
the belief that if an example were
made of same citizens of high stand
ing in this respect it wo Md have
wholesome effect.
Capt j A Kelley then requested
His Honor to ask the grand jury

ing place for horses, and the Judge
suggested that they cooperate with
the county commissioners in carry
ing out this request. He referred
to the court house square in Spart-
anburg, which is the pride of the
whole county.
The work of the court was light,
the criminal business being dispos-
ed of and the jury discharged on
Tuesday. The court of common
pleas was called on Wednesday, but
most of the matters pending had
been disposed of by consent and the
Judge was able to conclude all busi-
ness in time to leave for Charleston
on the II o'clock train.
The cases tried were as follows.

of property under lien. Guilty and

Grand Jury PreSentment.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, |
County of Williamsburg !

County of Williamsburg
To His Honor Judge Nem-
minger, Presiding Judge:
We, the Grand Jury, beg to
make this, Our presentment:
We have examined all bills
handed us by the Solicitor and
have made returns thereon.
We have examined the county
Jail and found the conditions
there far from satisfactory. The
prisoners are very filthy and
covered with vermin and are not
provided with proper utensils
for bathing. This matter needs
immediate attention.
We also find that the roof of
of the kitchen has not been re-
paired as WAS recommended in
our last presentment and we
once more urge that this matter
be given attention.
We have not yet made exam
ination of the County Offices but
have appointed a special COM
mittee to make a recess exami-
nation and report at the next
term of this court.
We beg leave to state that in
our last presentment We strong
ly called the attention of the
County Supervisor to the condi.
tion of the public highway in
Black River swamp leading to
Manning and urged that said
road be worked as it was i'm
passable. No steps whatever
have been taken by the Super
VISOR as was recommended by
this Grand Jury and we beg to
call your Honor's attention to
this fact and to once more urge
upon the Supervisor that he
take immediate steps to open
and improve this road.
We also call special atten-
tion to the fact that the Super
visor has failed to carry out our
recommendation in regard to
the bridge over Black Mingo
creek. This bridge is in very
dangerous condition and we
most earnestly urge that the
Supervisor take the steps neces-
sary to cooperate with the Su'
pervisor of Georgetown county
and build said bridge as is pro-
vided by the special Act of the
Legislature.
These recommendations rela-
tive to the duties of the Super
visor we desire to call your
Honor's- especial attention to and
to respectfully ask that your
Honor grant US such assistance
in bringing them about as in
your wise discretion you deem
expedient.
Our attention has been called
by the Board of Health OF
Kingstree and by your Honor to
the condition of the public
square around the Court House
and the unsanitary condition
thereof on account of same be-
leg used as public lot, and We
| beg to recommend that said
square be enclosed by an iror
fence and set apart as park
and that in future that it not be
used as a horse lot.
! We desire to thank your Hon
or for your lucid interpretations
of our duties and of the law and
the Solicitor for courtesies
shown.
Respectfully submitted,
HUGH MCCUTCHEN,
Foreman.

PAYS FINES FOR
 VIOLATING LAW
Railroad Company Charged with Not Having Safety Ap-
 pIianCeS Pays S250

Colonel NJ. F. Egan, attorney for the Arizona Copper company of Clifton, which company owns the Arizona & New Mexico railroad, which runs trains between Clifton and Hachita, N. M, arrived in the city last evening. He made his way to the office of Clerk Smalley of the United States court and presented to the clerk the sum of $250.
 The company was recently made the defendant in two suits brought by United States Attorney Alexander for violating the safety appliance law. The penalty is $100 for each offense and the company evidently preferred paying the fines rather than stand trial. The other $50 pays the costs of filing
