Having finished this unfeeling speech
which he had couched in as formal
phraseology as If he had been address

Arch and myself, he lapsed into medi

Get the Machinery Ready Now.

Much time is also lost in the
spring by implements and gear not
being in perfect condition. Not only
should the implements be put in
frst-class order, but all probable re-
pairs and additions to the equipment
should be provided for. 1t is bad
practice to wait until an implement
is gotten out for immediate service
to find that bolt or a bar is need
ed, and it is equally Improbable to
send an implement to the field with
a dull cutting surface that should
be sharp, or with a securing surface
SO rough or rusty that it will not do
effective work.
This is the time to begin getting
the work stock and implements in
order for hard and effective work
later, when every hour will count
for more than two hours now. These
things cannot be neglected without
serious loss and the man who does
80 has no reason to complain of
hard luck when a horse is injured
or dies from collie or overwork, or
when valuable time is lost through
implements being found out of con-
dition.-Progressive Farmer.

Report of Board Of County Com
missioners.

Report of Board Of County Com
missioners.
To Thomas Stansell, foreman of
the Grand Jury for Edgefeld coun-
tS:
We beg leave to report that we
have examined the dockets of the
magistrates of this coun ty when
submitted to US at our quarterly
meetings as required by law.
We find that the. present nagis-
trates during their present term of
office have collected and paid in the
treasury the following, to wit: Mag
istrate of the first district, $4,000;
of the second district, s22.50; Of the
third district, 90; of the fourth dis
trict s159.0o; Of the fifth district,
s27s.5o; of the sixth district, $4,000;
OF the seventh district, ss6.7o; of
the eighth district, $1,000; making
a total of s66i.7o.
We notice that the magistrates of
the sew nth, and eighth districts
have in some instances imposed a
fine of one dollar each for violation
of the road law. The amount of
commutation tax is two dollars, and
we believe that no fine should be i'm.
posed in such cases for less than the
amount Of the regular Communication
tax. We think that some penalty
shou Id he added to the amount OF
the regular road tax. And we ask
that the Grand Jury cali the atten.
tion.of the magistrates to this mat,
ter, and suggest that proper fine
be imposed in each case.
We notice that several pages of the
docket of the magistrate of the eighth
district have been taken out, the mag
islrate, A G QUITS, stating that he
Las used the stubbs Of the missing
pages of the old docket only for the
purpose of taking down the names
of parties reported to him for non
performance OF road duty. We sug-
gest that the Grand Jury at the next
sitting Of the court examine all Of
the dockets of the magistrates in
connection WITH this report, so that
they can inform themselves more
fully of the matters set forth herein.
Respectfully submitted,

Things a Mother Should Not
Do.

She should not forget that if she

will do much towards making him

She should not treat her boy to
perpetual frowns, seedlings, and
fault-6ndings. Sugar attracts
more flies than vinegar" Love
wins her boy to a noble man

She should never be so busy OF
hard pressed for time that she can,
not listen to him. If he lives to
be man he will all too soon leave
her. She should make the, most Of
him while shehas him.
She should encourage outdoor
exercise of sports, and she should
not forget to train HIM with prop

Forcing Respect for the Law.

w. Fl. Brigham, Z well-to-do ant
extensive farmer of Marion" severe
ly beat an old white woman who
was working for him. Brigham
as we are told by our Marion cor
respondent, had been in numerous
shooting and fighting afrays, but
heretofore has escaped prosecu
tion. With money he could buy
immunity.
The latest case was intended to
be no exception; Brigham succeed,
ed in getting the old woman to drop
the case. Prosecutors are bought
off in almost every county every
year. But in this Marion case, So
licitor Wells interfered. Solicitors
are far too prone to accept the fail
ure of an injured person to prose
cute as an excuse for dropping"
cases against lawbreakers. Mr..
Wells did not evade his duty; he
handed out an Indictment against
Brigham and the grand jury return
ed true bill.
And then Brigham, expecting to
escape with a fine, pleaded guilty.
But he miscalculated. Judge Ernest
Gary on the bench, sentenced the
brute to eighteen months hard la
Dor on the chaingang. He was not
given the alternative of fine; his
money failed to make monkey out
of the law and the court.
Solicitor Wells and Judge Gary
have done Marion county and South
Carolina good service. The State.

Keep Only Young Hens For
Laying.

AS result of the generally grow
ing disposition to look more closely
into all phases of farming, it has
been shown that after a hen is two
years old she is rarely a profitable
layer. She will usually lay more eggs
Ter first laying season than during
any subsequent period. In some cases
she may lay sufficient number of
eggs her second year to pay a profit
on her keep.
Sell or eat the hens over eighteen
months old and the average produc-
ton will be increased and the profits
enlarged. Progressive Farmer.

GRAND JURY REPORT.
Standing Committees Appointed
Report of Board of County
Commi ssioners Embod-
led in Presentment.

To His Honor R. C. Watts, Pre-.
siding Judge, March term of court
for Edgefeld county:
We the Grand Jury for the year
1910 have passed on the indictments
handed to us by the court, and have
made returns thereon to the court.
This being the first meeting for the
year, we have not considered any
matters which may have been un.
finished under the term of Grand
Jury for the year 1909. Such mat
ters will have our consideration
later, if necessary.
The following committees have
been appointed to look after such
matters as are generally looked after
by our body. County ofires, j. L
Smith, B. B. Jones, J. c. Lewis, w.
E. Lott, J. w. Kemp.
Public Buildings: B. Canlelou,
w. L. Kinnaird, j. r. Moss.

County Chain Gang: w. R.
Swearingen, w. J. Harling, P. II.
Bussey.
County Home: L. R. Brunson, P.
b. Whatley, S. T. Williams.
We desire to call the attention of
all magistrates in our county to the
necessity of complying with the
law in binding over witnesses and
taking correct testimony in full and
in filing all necessary papers with
the clerk of court before time for
court, as prescribed by law. We
find that the. laxity of magistrates
in thi. respect is one of the greatest
causes in The delay and expense of
the court.
) We alsos present in connection
with this report a report from the
county commissioners concerning
the practice. of the magistrates. We.
recommend that the magistrate of

Representative Aiken of South

of South Carolina from which Mr.:
Calhoun was sent to congress,
sketched Calhoun's career, and COM
pared him to Lincoln.
The two most conspicuous fig.
ures-and those who will survive
longest in the memory of mankind
of that greatest contest over the.
conflicting theories of our govern
inert are John q. Calhoun and Alb.
raham Lincoln,' he said. The
achievements of Mr.. Lincoln are
viewed through the glamor of suc-s
cess and the halo of the martyr
while the cause for which Mr. Cal
houn labored-the perpetuation of.
the Union as it cameF from the
hands of the fathers,-went down
to defeat.
Notwithstanding defeat and
disaster, he continues to be regard
ed as the aristotle of American poll
tics; and with the mind of a seer
and the heart of a hero he survives
in the respect of his countrymen,
wept, honored and sung.
IF he had been endowed with
less integrity of purpose and more
policy, he could surely could have
been president. That great honor
we believe he laid down because he
would be the tool of no man, and
because its acceptance would have
sacrificed principles, the establish
ment of which had consumed the
greater part of his life.

In point of intellect and in puri-
ty of character" said Representa-
tive Mccall of Massachusetts,, in ac-
cepting the statue, Calhoun ranks
among the very greatest of our
statesmen, and although his name
is more conspicuously identified
with the theory of notification, a
theory to which his great power of
logic gave practical force as po-
itical principle, more than once in
critical times he devoted himself to
preventing a rupture between the
central and the state governments
and of maintaining the union. He
was throughout his whole life de
voted to his native state. =
Senator Lodges speech was an
eulogy of Calhoun, the man.
I'VE do well to place here a
statue of Calhoun" said the Sena-
tor Il would that he could stand
with none but his peers about him
and not elbowed and crowded by
the temporary notorious and the IL
lustrious obscure. His statue IS
here of right. He was really great:
man, one of the great figures of our
history. He was the greatest mau

CALHOUN lIoNoRED.
Statue of John C. Calhoun
Placed in Statuary Hall.
dwelling Exercises held
Saturday.

Washington, March l2.-The
capitol was the scena of a notable
event today when in the presence Of
a distinguished assemblage, a statue:
of John G. Calhoun, the great South
Carolina separatist, was unveiled
in statuary hall.
The unwilling ceremony took
place at l o'clock and was conduct
ed wholly by South Carolinians.
The cords holding together the
drapery around the marble figure
were loosened by Mrs. Bratton and.
Miss Gist, both daughters of the
Palmetto state, and Immediately
afterwards, the verbal ceremonies
were begno. Governor Ansel pre-
sided and former governor Mauldin
delivered the principal oration. The
statue is a bold piece of work, de-
picting its subject in strident atti-
tude. 1t is placed on the south side
of Statuary Hall between the fig
ures of Ethan Allen and Lewis Cass,
and directly, if not defantly, faces
the effigy of Webster, Calhoun's
greatest antagonist, which stands
calmly on its pedestal on the north
side of the hall.
The ceremonies of acceptance
took place in the Senate and house
after the completion of the exercises
in the. hall. 1t was in the two
houses that the representatives of
the two ante-bellum beiligersnt
states met to once more bury the
hatchet, SenatorLodg and Repre-
sentative Mccall speaking for the
New England commonwealth and
Senator Smith and a number of
