A SUGGESTION.
A. Matter in Connection With The
New Court House-A Sugges-
tion to the Officials.

II was observed in the proceedings
OF court in the new court house ycs-
tcrday that the jury boxes on each
SIDE are somewhat far from the Judge
making il difficult for the iuries to
catch distinctly the judges rulings
and charges except when the Judge
raises his voice to a pitch that must
be nronvrnicnt and wcarisomc to
him, when the fact is taken into con-
slderatlon that court goes on q num-
Der OF days in succession.
As at present arranged the Jury
boxes consist of twelve chairs on
either side of the court house, there
beng two rows on each side, of six
chairs each. It has been suggested
that 1t would be good plan to put
another row of six chairs in front of
the two rows on each side, making
eighteen chairs, on each side. The
petit jury could then occupy the first
and second rows, putting it's MEN,
bes nearer to the judge, and when
the grand jury is in court it would
occupy the three rows Of chairs on
one side or the other. Under the
present arrangement every time the
grand jury comes into court it will
he necessary to secure additional
rhalrS to accommodate the jury, the
grand jury consisting of eighteen
members. and the jury boxes provid-
ed with chairs for only twclve-thc
number on IA petit jury.
The suggestion, it appears. would
"bvlatc the difficulty which will be
experienced by the Judge in making
himself heard by the petit iurics. and
the inconvenience Of providing extra
chairs every time the grand iurv
comes into the court.
II is simply given here for what the
officials may think it is worth.
1t appears to The Herald and
News that it is an excellent sunoes-
tlon. The court house is one of the
handsomcst and most modern in
South Carolina or in this section Of
the country, and this is slight in
convenience which could be easily
and effectively remedied.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY,
Negroes Arrested at Ninety Six on
Saturday.-Twelve in Jail at
Greenwood.

1t was reported in Ncwberry yes
terday that about twelve negroes had
been arrested on last Saturday at
Ninety Six on the charge Of conspiracy
a"d Sat they arc now in the Green
wood Jail.
The report was that about fifty
negroes had organized and guns had
been ordered from Savannah to be
shipped to Chappclls in trunks. It
is not known whether the guns fail
ed to come to Chappells or not on
account Of the flood, but if they were
received at Ohappells no one seems
to have known of it.
Since the trouble at Ninety Six
some time ago the negroes have been
organizing through their societies and
the matter became known through II
negro preacher at Greenwood who
gave tho names Of those who were
arrested. 1t is said that they had
planned to kill all Of the white men
at Ninety Six, and another report is
that they had selected four who were
to be killed.
The conspiracy seems not to have
been generally known and it was the
purpose to get the ones who were
involved in it under arrest and in
Jail before it was generally known.
In fact we have seen nothing of the
matter in the newspapers yet at all
but the facts as here given were re-
lated to The Herald and News YES
terday by a gentleman from that see
ton.
lie says il is also reported that
they had organized against Cross Hill
and probably other communities. If
the reports are true the situation is
most alarming, but these matters arc
sometimes overdrawn. It is true.
however. that number of negroes
from Ninety Six were arrested and
taken to the Greenwood Jail on Sat

REMOVE THE MOSQUITO.
Producing Malaria Fever-Stagnant
Pools of Water a Fruitful Source
of Mosquitoes. -.

One of the physicians Of the city,
in active practice, states that in tho
last week he has attended about forty
cases Of malaria fever and in every
case he attributes the cause directly
to the mosquito sting. .-....
We mention this to call attention
of the people to the Importance Of
removing as far as possible all causes
which produce the mosquito, and
when that is done to an effort to pro-
tect themselves by screens from the
sting Of the mosquito.
After the heavy rains there are no
doubt places left where stagnant wat
er is standing, and this, Of course, is
an unfailing source of mosquitoes. It
would be much easier to remove the
cause than to cure the disease, and
by little care on the part Of our
citizens we could get rid Of these
mosquito producing pools Of stagnant
water. We suppose, of course, that
the health officer is giving this mat
ter attention., but as he has other
duties to look after the cooperation
Of the people should also he given for
their own protection. The physician
i'll question seems to have no doubt
that the large number of malaria cases
can be traced directly to the mosquito
sting. 1t is a matter of sclfprescrva-
ton. Make war on thr st,unont
pools of water.

has gained quite a reputation as a

ease in our court. and was hard
