Hon. Hayne Rice, Presiding:
We the grand jury, beg leave to
submit the following presentment:
All bills Of indictment turned over
to us for consideration have received
our careful investigation and handed
back to the court with our findings
endorsed thereon.
The committee appointed to inspect
the books Of our county officers, beg
to make the following reports. We

the legislature may prove to be worth
what it will cost the state but We
have doubts.
The campaign gun fighters appear
to be still on the pay roll of the state.
One of them was hanging around the
the banquet given by Columbia citi-
zcns in honor of l.. ID. Jennings and
w. Il. Pollock, and after the banquet
attempted to provoke difficulty
with Mr.. Pollock. lie was arrested and
his gun taken from him before he
got chance to kill any one.
The Germans officially admit the
killing of less than ten thousand SOL
dicrs since the beginning of the cam
paign in Belgium and France. This
does not excuse the seventy mile foot
race from the environs of Paris to the
Aisne river. The publication of this
statement indicates that the German
officials imagine that the balance of
the world is made up Of credulous
fools. If the terrible fighting ma
chine that the German army is alleg-
cd to be can be driven back after a
loss of only ten thousand killed, then
the war is not the appalling horror it
iss supposed to be. but nothing m,'ch
more serious than sham battle.
IL contending armies of more than q
million men each cannot kill more
than ten thousand each in two
weeks conflict, modern warfares are Il
failure. The same number of able
bodied men could DO greater execu-
ton with rocks and clubs. The Ger
mans and the allies could save time
and millions of dollars by throwing
away their magazine rifles and rapid
fire guns and all the modern par
aphcrnalia of war and resorting to
primitive methods and weapons. They
are charged with having reverted to
the stone age in the treatment of
non-combatants and the wounded and
Ii would appear easy to adopt the
weapons suited to this method of war
fare.
There will he an exceptionally
heavy demand for peas next spring
and summer and it will pay the farm
ers better to gather this crop than to
