REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
State Of South Carolina,
County OF Edgefeld.

State Of South Carolina,
County Of Edgefeld.
To His Honor j w DeVore, Presid-
ing Judge of the August term OF
Court, 1903.
We, the Grand Jury Of Edgcfcld
County, beg leave to submit the fol
lowing report:
Report of Committee on Poor House
and County Farm.
We find fourteen inmates now in the
County Home, nine OF this number are
white, five are colored. The inmates
are cared for as we'll as present condi-
tons will permit. Mr. scurry, the
Steward, informed the committee that
all Of the inmates were well fed and
cared for in material way, and it was
brought to our attention that while the
poor and helpless Of our County were
being supplied with the physical neces'
sites for this life, the little Chapel for
conducting religious services was sell
dom used. We most respectfully ap,
peal to the Christian people Of this
county not to neglect this important
duty.
We Furthermore call the attention CT
the Court to the condition of the dwell
ing houses on the County farm. The
Stewards home and four of the homes
for the inmates are in very bad con-
dition. We urge upon the Court the
necessity of providing comfortable
homes for the Steward and the y
mates. Unless this is attended to Ge-
lore winter, we recommend that the
inmates be removed to some place il
the county where they can be protect
ed from the cold.
We find the barns, stables and COW
sheds in good condition. There are or
the County farm three mules, one
horse, five mich cows, four ycarEngs,
and thirty hogs, ell in good condition.
About as near as your committee
could estimate, there are about one
hundred and fifty bushels Of corn, plen'
ty OF fodder and hay to feed Oh until
the present crop is harvested is har,
vested. The present crop is in good
condition. The Steward says that he
made last year about eight hundred
bushels of corn, three bales of cotton,
two hundred bushels of sweet potatoes,
twenty-five bushels Of peas, killed
about three thousand lbs. pork; We
suggest that in the future the Countg
direct the Steward Of the Poor H2usl
to make a report in writing to til;
Grand jury, and let it be embodied ii
| the reports Of the Poor House Co'nnlii,
tee to the Court. This has not beer
the custom, ;,ld we did not require il
of the present Steward, but your CcI.,
mittee cannot make an intelligent rs.
port unless in the future the Stewar,
be required, as other public oifica-s,
to Gle, in writing, his report, OK keel
books. or some kind Of record access
bic ior the information OF the Crane
rury.
We find rs nearly as we can estimate
it $50, coo feet of lumber belonging &c
tho County, exposed to the weather,
and with no protection against FIRE,
stacned in the woods near the County
Home. We urge that some disposition
be made Of this lumber before it is q
total loss to the County.
w. H. MORGAN,
E. B. DASHER,
f. PERCY BYRD,
Committee Of Poor House and County
Farm.

On Saturday last, about the
hottest day of the year, the sales
of the North Augusta dispensary
amounted to $1,000. A very large
portion of this sum was spent by
working men who could i'll afford
it and whose families doubtless
needed their daily earnings. In
making money through the sale
of liquor, Aiken county is de-
privipgss many a. destitute home
of some of the actual necessities,
to say nothing of comforts and
luxuries. Shame upon Aiken!

CARD From MFR. Merritt.

Editor Edgeiiald Advertiser:
will apprf ci-
atn 1T Very mnch if you wilt allow
me through tna columns of your
paper to thank the patrons Of the
Southern Railway and Southern
Express Companies at Edgeaeld
for the universal courtesy and
patience accorded ne in th4
transaction Of business. IF affairs
here now are in any better shaPa
than when | came here, it is not
because Caesar" has not had all
that he hts but because the people
know what b.Iopgs to them, aud
are perfectly satisfied when they
get it. am not leaving here fo:'
better town or better job, but
because l have some little prop
er>y interests at Ridge Spring that
need my personal attention. a
longtime ago great city was
DESTROYED because there could not
be found III it FIVE just persons;
now / am real srre that in the
little city of Edgefeld there can't
be found to-day five unjust per-
sons. am sincerely in love with
historic Edge6eld and hope the
good things of life will continue
to congregate here, until there is
no room for any more. Again
thanking the people one and all
for their charity and encour age
ment, I am,
Yours sincerely,
A Merritt

The Georgia Legislators, not In-
like the South Carolina solons,
sometimes pass very foolish, as
we'll as unjust, measures. The
general assembly of our sister
state recently passed an act au-
thorizing policemen and fremen
to ride free on street cars. 1t ls
just as reasonable to require the
dry goods merchant or the grocer
to furnish policemen and fremen
with free dry goods and groceries
asit is TO ask street railway COM
panies to give them free trans

1.-THE CLANSMAN"

The Clansman's" fourth sea- son has been marked by even greater enthusiasm that it ar reused before. Crowded audiences have been the rule everywhere and thousands have been turned away for lack of room. In some towns purchasers have lined up inNfront of the theatre the night previous to the sale and have camped out there all night long in order to be first in the rush next morning. This has never happened before except with
 great stars like Bernhardt and speculators have reaped a har- vest despite the utmost efforts ol>the manageemnt to stop them There is some remarkable qual- ity in this play which causes the public interest to increase with every successive presentations. It is the most wonderful repeater in theatrical history; the story of the ever growing box office receipts reads like magic. The

only explana tion is that ''The Clansman" gets closer to the hearts of the people than any other offering presented for many, many years. It is a distil- lation of their life, bone of their bone, and sinew of their sinew. As long as the deathless deeds of the heroic ku Kluv Klan are in glorious remembrance, ''The Clansman," in which those deeds are pictured, will remain the epic of the American people. Hardly more than an announcement is needed of it's initial visit to the the Greeson opera house on Saturday, December 5 to pack the house to the doors.

tramping, or. rather, sailing over the face of the earth, and accept position in his office in St. Louis. The fellow loved the girl so well that he made the sacrifice, and they were married.
 "The tramp stood office work as well as he could for six months. It nearly set him crazy. During the time of his imprisonment In a counting room he disappeared for month, ostensibly on business. but really to tramp. Soon after he got back his father in- law died and left Mrs. Tramp lot of money. The business was sold out, and the pair came over here for q tour It was really tramp. They are moving over Europe today"
 'I see," I remarked. "You are MT. Tramp"
 T am. Mrs. Tramp and our little Tramps are at Interlaken, where I expect to join them"
 And the chalk marks?'
 ''They are to let the fraternity know a soft spot
