Court Proceedings

On account of an accident to
tho Judge, having his ankle sprain-
ed, which occurred after the adj
Journmcnt Of the Chesterfield
court, he was unable to arrive here
until the arrival of the midday
Coast Line train. Consequently
court was not called until 3 p. M,
Monday. In q very short time af-
ter court was called Solicitor
Spears handed his honor quite a
batch of indictments, whereupon
his honor, Judge Aldrich, address
ed the grand jury, in part as fol-
lows:
MIR. Foreman and gentleman of
the grand jury. 1t is a source of
great pleasure, in this the early
part of my judicial career, to be
permitted to visit your good
county. You are justly proud,
and have a right to be, Of your
splendid county. In the early
days of the history Of this state,
the blood Of yours and my ances-
tors c~onsccrated the soil of this
section of South Carolina. MARI
boro county and the Pee Dee sec
ton might be called the cradle of
liberty in our state. In time of
peace as we'll is war your citizens
have always served and sacrificed
for the honor Of the state. Your
national progress is known of all
men in South Carolina. Your sue
cess as an agricultural Icounty has
rendered Marlboro famous and
given her q most enviablc rcputa-
ton. 1t goes without saying that
such q section is a law abidinu
community and q law RESPECTING
people.
No people al ever become pros
porous who are lawlcss, and in or
der to continue as an elevated and
prosperous people, you should al
ways maintain your present hioh
standard. 1t is customary to hear
Choughtlcss and uniformed peo-
pie say that South Carolina is a
lawless state, but that is untrue.

the king in order to exterminate
and suppress an antagonistic DO
lltical party, had his minions to
falsely arrest many people and
place them in prison. After that
the grand Jury was instituted and
no man can now be tried until his
case has been investigated by that
body. The grand jury stands as
the great breakwater between the
accused and the courts. 1t is your
duty to present all crimes commit
ted in the county under your OBJ
seryation. Public institutions in
your county come under your jur-
lsdiction and must be investigated
BY your body. The grand jury
used to be selected for each term
of court, but now they continue in
office for one year, and six of the
number hold over and serve the
succeeding year. You can carry
on your investigation during the
vacation, divide your body into
several committees and let them
investigate the several public off
.ces and institutions in the county.
