Washington, March 15.-A new Mex.

in Washington today to rival the Car

bring prominently before the American
government an element to wnich here

represents Eulalio Gutierrez, said to

Gutierrez was elected provisional
president OF Mexico by the Aguas Cal

ruled in Mexico City.
Nasconcelos member of his cab
met, reached h'ere today and went di-
rectly to tie State department to lay
the object of the Gutierrez campaign
before Leon Canoya, chief of the Mex
lean division of the Latin-American
bureau.
Vasconcelos reached the Mexican
border town of Rio Grande three days
ago, after a 1900 mile ride On horse
back with a detachment of troops.
Four of his men were slot by Car
rama soldiers, he said, as he crossed
to sne American side. Vasconceios'
story was the first chronological ac-
count State department officials had OF

parture from Mexico City

To His Honor Judge Ernest Moore,
Presiding:
We, the grand jury' for Newberry

presentation of such matters as nave
been brought bcfore Us for Our con-
sideration.
First. We wish to express to the
Judge presiding our appreciation ami
hearty endorsement of the principles
called to Our attention in his able
charge to US.
We have passed on ell bills pre-
sented to us and ave returned same
to the court
We have examined the county home
and jail and find them kept neat and
clean and in a sanitary condition as
far as possible. The inmates of the

operations progressing. We wish to
commend tne sheriff and his deputies
fer their diligence and care in guard
ing Il welfare of the county.
On examination of the Jail we find
the floors in the two upper stories in
a bad condition and unsafe, and rec
ommend that new wood floors be put
in the second and third floors of the
Jail.
We find the magistrates are comply
ing with the Law.
Have examined the different county
offices and find them in a first-class
condition Wit one exception. In our
last presentment to the court we called
attention to the many errors in the
books made up in the auditors othce
for the collection of taxes. We hnd
at those errors have not been cor

in many instances and on account OF
these errors Il e county loses much
money and the treasurer embarrassed.
We again respectfully call the atten-
ton of the court to the deplorable con-
dition of this Office and ask that copy

State senator and representatives, that
they be informed as to these conditions
