Tuesday afternoon the grand jury
finished it's labors and made the fol-
lowing final presentment, the report
being signed by H. G. Crum, foreman:
To the Hon. T. H. Spain, Presiding
judge
We beg leave to submit herewith
our presentment.
We have passed on all bills of In
dictment handed us by the Solicitor
and have returned the same to the
Court.
We have visited all of the county
offices and inspected the books and
records of the same and we find them
all neatly and, correctly kept, with
the exception of the office of the
Judge of Probate, which we think
could be greatly improved.
We have visited the jail and lind
a great improvement in its condition,
and we find that the prisoners are
we'll kept and cared for.
We have not had time to visit the
county chain gang, but from the best
information obtainable its condition
has been greatly improved. A COM
mittee has been appointed to visit
the gang and cooperate with the
supervisor in making the prisoners
comfortable and recommend what
tools and fixtures are necessary to
work to the best advantage.
We have learned with regret that
an attempt was made by the leglsla-
ture to reduce the salaries of the
county treasurer and county auditor,
but are glad to learn that it was not
done, especially the salary OF the
auditor, as the present salary OF sala
officer is now entirely too small for
the work which has to be done by
the auditor, he having the work OF
the auditor and county superlntend-
ent of eduaction to do, the two being
combined. We would respectfully
recommend that our delegation TO
the general assembly, at is next sit
ting. endeavor to have the salary OF
this office increased instead of lower
ed
We thank your honor and the court
officials for kindnesses and courtesles
extended to us in the discharge OF
our duties.

March Term of Court.

The March term of the court of
general sessions convened in the
court house here Monday morning Of
this week, Judge T. H. Spain pre-
siding. Solicitor R. L. Gunter and
Stenographer E. A. Brown were at
their posts.
The cases disposed Of by the grand
jury and the court up to the time Of
going to press are as follows:
Green Leaphart-house breaking
and larceny--true bill.
Arthur Wright and John Green
house breaking and larceny-true
bill. Plead guilty and sentenced to
two years each on the chain sang.
There were two cases against Green,
that of breaking into the store of the
Bamberg Furniture & Hardware
Company and also a drug store at
Denmark. He was given a sentence
of two years in each case, making
total sentence for him of four years.
Green wrote a letter to the judge
which he gave to Jailer Dickinson to
deliver. In this letter he stated that
he was guilty of the charges against
him, but in two places in the letter
he asked that he be given the bene-
fit of the doubt.
Georgeanna Bronson - murder
true bill. Tried and found guilty of
murder with recommendation to
mercy. Sentenced to life imprison-
ment. This is the killing which oc-
Cured in town only a few weeks
ago, both parties being negroes and
the woman killed being named Anna
Curry. Our readers are familiar
with the circumstances, so it is not
necessary to repeat the story. The
killing was about the husband of the
Bronson woman.
Henry Graham - murder - true
bill. Found not guilty. This was
the case of a young negro killing
another at Denmark. 1t appeared
from the testimony that the killing
was an accident and the jury acquit-
ted Graham, who appears to be a
half witted negro, or at least one
with very little sense.
Docia Toomer-assult and battery
with intent to kill-no bill.
Charlie Ford-grand larceny. One
year on chain gang.
John Loper, Leasie Bunch, and
John -fornication-true bill.
Henry Raysor-appeal from mag
istrate. Appeal sustained. 1t ap-
pears that there was charge OF
rape against this defendant and the
magistrate erred in his handling of
the matter.
Allen Gaillard-entering house
with intent to steal-two cases.
Plead guilty and given one year in
each case.

Its species ever brought to Fleetwood.
The funny belongs to the mackerel
family, having somewhat the appear
ance of gigantic mackerel, and is a
rare visitor to British waters. 1t is a
southern fish, particularly abundant in
the Mediterranean, where the fisheries
are of great antiquity, and is today
much in demand for it's edible qualities
in the countries bordering on that sea.
The Phoenicians established extensive
fisheries for funny, and as an indica-
ton of their value the funny appears
on the medals of Cadiz and Carteia.
Unfortunately, the specimen here
shown is wrinkled in the lower portion
of the body, owing to it's not being
hoisted clear of the ground when being
photographed, and the fish is leaning
on its tail, consequently wrinkling it. A
funny weighing three and half hun
dredweight and about eight feet long,
and another specimen of the same
species said to be "just under IL feet
in length" and weighing six and half
hundredweight, were caught in the
North sea and landed at East Coast
fishing ports during the month of Sep
TENDER this year. The Mediterranean
funny is allied to the tuna of the Cali
fornian coast, and both these fish may
be obtained in this country preserved
In tins.

The Basement
Philosopher
BY KENNETH HARRIS
(copyright 1913. by W. c. chapman)

The Janitor sat at the top of the
stone steps that led to the basement,
nursing his injured toe, a grimace of
pain comforting his usually pleasant
countenance. His Scandinavian as
sistant was at the bottom of the steps
in the act of arising from an undigni-
fed posture, complicated by crushed
ash can, and his expression was half
Wrathful, half amazed.
Excuse me- snarled the Janitor,

square, amt we? Don't look at me
in that tone of voice or therell be
more accidents and I'll have to wait till
you come to to make my apologies.
Ald don't go" he added, as the assist
ant picked up the can. I've a word
or two to say to you.
First of all, let me ask if you didn't
have the whole dashbinged court to
walk on without taking a constitution

manded. you didn't mean to? Sure,
you didn't. / never supposed you had
the nerve to do it a-purpose; but /
want to tell you that what you meant
didn't take a pound of your weight,
and your asking me to excuse you
didn't help none. You may think it
did, but you're wrong. If it had been
my feelings you had tromped on,
apologizing might have been little
comfort, though that would depend;
but it was my corns. You remember
that, you big-hoofed laundering block
head! Excuse me calling you that,
won't you?
Il see you've tore your pants on
that ash can. Well, I'm to blame. /

Fought on Edge Of PrecIpIce.


A terrible struggle took place near
a precipice of 5000 feet, on the south
slopes of the Bernina range, between
an Italian officer and private.
An Italian custom-house patrol, un-
der the command of Lieutenant Rocia,
was visiting the Alpine posts in the
Valtelin, on the Swiss frontier, when
the officer had to reprimand soldier
named Cell. This man determined to
have revenge.
When the patrol was away on other
duty Cell attacked his officer on a
lonely Alpine pass and attempted to
throw him over the precipice. A long
struggle followed, the men being Of
about equal strength and unarmed.
The officer, to save his life, bit
through an artery in the wrist of his
subordinate, who collapsed, owing to
loss of blood Soon afterward the pa
troll arrived and carried Cell to hos
pita1 in the valley, where he recov-
cred
The military court, which has now
tried the case at Milan, took into con-
sideration the condition of the soldier,
and above all, the refusal of his officer
victim to prosecute, and sentenced
Cell to six months Imprisonment

RATHER OBJECTED TO PLAN

a Snake Belt and a Tragedy
Nearly Results.

Denver, Colo.-Her anxiety to have
a rattlesnake skin belt almost cost the
life of Miss Grace Glasspool when a
snake she supposed was dead sudden
" showed itself very much alive and
struck at her.
Miss Glasspool was out riding when
she came across the RATHER summing II
self in the highway. The girl allghted
from the buggy and attacked the snake
with the whip, apparently killing 1t.
She placed it in the vehicle and drove
to town.
When she pulled the snake from its
place it fell to the ground, coiling aAd
striking at her. Her heavy riding skirt
caught the fangs, probably saving her
life. Bystanders killed the snake with
a Ratchet and Miss GlasspoOl still has

to one side and let you a-past. I'd
sooner do that than have you walk on

Here's the thing I want you to

tinued the Janitor. you can't square
yourself by apologizing. That amt
the general impression, know-not
with the ginks that have got the apol-
ogizing habit and seem to think that
they've made it all right when they
say they're sorry. They'll smash the
china vawse that your wife's cousin
that was in the commissary brought
home from the Emperor's palace as
souvenir at the time of the Boxer

fered a hundred dollars cold cash for,
and they'll say, oh, amt that too
bad! How careless of me to slam it
again the radiator! I didn't mean to
break it. just though I'd see If it
sounded cracked And then they think
your wife's real mean if she doesn't
tell 'em that it amt no consequence.
And they'll jump into an automo-
bile and throw the clutch into high
and head right into the middle of a
bunch of kids. 'Bumpety-bump,' goes
the machine. What's that?' say they.
Little girl killed? Dear me, amt that
too bad! We're just SO sorry as we
can be. We hadn't no more intention
of killing her than anything. We're
awful sorry And then they think
they're abused when 2. cop arrests
them. We didn't run off, says they.
We stopped and we apologized to the
heart broken parents they says.
What more could we do?'
There's all kinds of them,s the
Janitor continued. You amt the
only one. There's them well-meaning,
but high-spirited rah, rah boys, with
their hazing, that I'd like to have my
way with. They don't mean no harm
when they tie new Johnny up hand
and foot and gag him and lay him on
the railroad track; they just want to
scare him a little, and ii they hadn't
forgotten all about the $40 express. it
would have been all right-unless the
kid died of heart failure. They're just
as sorry as you was, and it certainly
