THE JURORS DUTY.

Judge Rice, in receiving the final
presentment Of the grand jury this
week, took occasion to make some
comments on the duties of jurors in
the matter of the administration of
justice, particularly in criminal
cases. One of the reasons he cited
for miscarriage Of justice is the fact
that jurors often, in their delibera-
tions, allow preconceived opinions
and prejudices to guide them, in
stead of being guided exclusively by
the law and the evidence. H said
that he had many times seen juries
turn criminals loose upon the public
when the evidence was clear and con-
vincing as to their guilt 1t is too
often the case, he declared,
that jurors do not have the
proper conception OF their duties.
They should realize that they are a
part, and very important part, of
ne machinery of the court and un-
less they come up to the full measure
of their duty, the ends of justice will
be defeated.
We are glad that Judge Rice has
thus publicly called attention to the
matter Anyone who is familiar with
he trial of cases, knows that it is
almost the rule that intelligent, law
abiding, Christian men are excluded
from the jury by the defendant, es-
pecially when the case is looked upon
as bad one. Intelligence is what
is sorely needed in the jury box, men
so enlightened that they will have a
due conception of the obligations of
their oaths and who will be guided
solely by the law and the evidence.
Jurors should learn that society needs
protection as well as the man on
trial. There can be no safety to life
or property unless the juries of the
country are guided by their oaths
and decide cases not according to
their prejudices and preconceived
opinions, but according to right and
Justice.

Just for instance, what city girls
of your acquaintance would consider
the matter of marrying any lad who
asked her to go to the farm to live?
How few there are. If she did such
a thing her friends would be so cheer

remark as soon as the ceremony was
over so the bride could hear it;
Poor Mary, l feel so sorry for her"
And Mary would feel so sorry for

Nitrolce u Failure,

We were told today that the cleo
trical machinery in the fertilizer
from the air plant at Nitrolee has
been shipped to Mount Holly, n. c..
our understanding being that the fer
tiliZer-from-air plant at Nitrolee is to
be abandoned and one constructed
at Mount Holly owing to more fav-
orable atmospheei conditions at the
latter point. The Nitrolee plant was
the first plant of its kind in the West
ern Hemisphere, and considerabl
interest attached to it's workings.
The fetilizer manufactured at the
plant, we understand, has been of a
high grade, but the output has been
limited owing to unfavorable condit-
ions. The working force has all left

watchman.-Che3te Reporter.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

1t is TO be hoped that one of the
good results OF the experience the
south has passed through during the
year will be some lesson of economy
that will remain with the people, even
after the days of prosperity that are
just ahead arrived. 1t is hardly prob
able, but it is to be hoped, neverthe,
less, that the cost of high living will
be less tax upon the south in the
years to come than it has been in the
past. Those who suffer most from
the cost of high living are naturally
city people who struggle to keep up
the standards set by others more
able to maintain their establishments.
1t is worthy ambition to live like
the fortune and estate, but this same
ambition, this same straining to keep
up with the neighbors, is the cause
Of unhappiness and sorrow that might
be avoided, if people generally were
more rational and more willing to
live their own lives according to their
own means.
1t takes courage and independence
to do such things, but those people
who are termed thrifty" are those
who are doing that very thing. A
little more of the spirit that actual
ed their grandmothers, when they fol.
lowed their husbands into forests, cut
down the trees and built their homes
in the clearings, is what the girls OF
the future need. perhaps. They
need not suffer the hardships OF
that period, but they can exercise this
same character building and home
building spirit and be better women
and more helpful wives by showing
a disposition to deny themselves of
some Of the luxuries of life. if they

THE NEGLECTED. STREETS.

1t does not seem to be a matter of
much concern to certain people in
Lancaster that the town is not kept
as it should be, that grass is allowed
to grow on the streets, that the side
walks are unswept, that back lots
are an eyesore as we'll as a menace
to health and that papers and other
trash are left on the streets for weeks
at time before being removed. The
city council seem Indifferent to con-
ditions as they exist, even as they
seem deaf to the entreaties of
those whose pride in their town
prompts them to urge frequent clean
up cam m0aigns, as we'll as regular
system of keeping the town present
able. We are proud of the perma-
nent improvements made during the
present administration, so proud that
we want them to show the very
best advantage. Even the asphalt
with which Main street is paved is
frequently SO covered with trash and
dirt that in appearance it is about as
unpresentable as any of the other
streets.
The beautiful white way shines
down upon this thoroughfare which
is so ill-kept as to shame any citizen
possessed of spark of civic pride.
Why is this street neglected? Why
are the other streets uncared for7
Somebody is responsible for such neg
lect and should see the results Of it.
With comparatively little effort and
with no additional expense Lancas.
ter could be kept clean. If the hands
regularly employed were given every
day certain blocks to sweep, certain
streets on which to cut grass and
from which to remove paper, Lancas-
ter would present a very different
appearance from the Lancaster of to-
day. Patience ceases to be virtue
when patience is so sorely tried as
it has been by the disregard Of exist
ing conditions. We have a Civic
League which urges action. We
have number of progressive citi-
2ens who are interested in having
Lancaster appear attractive And
we have in our midst a newspaper
which cannot remain silent in the
face of such gross neglect 1t does
not seem to have been able so far to
persuade the authorities to clean up
but it is determined to keep con-
stantly urging them to do so.

Nearly 20 Cents for This Cotton.

10 "a cents for three bales long
staple today"
While Mr.. Easterling stood and
smiled, congratulations were shower
ed upon him. i

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,

County of Lancaster
To His Honor, III. F. Rice. Presiding
Judge:
We, the grand jury of the said
county do submit the following re-
port:
We have examined and passed on
all bills of indictment handed us by
the solicitor
Through committees OF this body
the county home, chaingang and jail
were visited and inspected, and re-
ported upon as follows:
County home neatly kept, and the
inmates perfectly satisfied. We
commend the superintendent and his
wife very highly for the manner in
which they handle the situation. The
old house at the rear of the new
building should be removed at the
earliest date possible as it is a great
fire risk, and endangers the lives very
much of the inmates. We also
recommend that the well be dug
deeper in order to furnish adequate
water. This has been recommended
on previous occasion and now
desire the work be given immediate
attention. The sewerage system
should also be completed as the part
that has been installed is of no SER
vice whatever unless the work is
! completed, as the cost will only be
small to finish the work. One of the
smaller houses also is in need of at
tcntion, sash being out of the win
dows and the chimney badly in need
OF repair. AS the winter weather is
at hand this should receive prompt
attention.
me quarters at the chaingang are
| neatly kept and every thing seems
to be in first class condition Good
shelter has been provided for the
mules, and the committee was very
much gratified at the good work
that is being done by the gang. The
hlred gang is also doing good work
mules in good shape, and nice shelter
has been provided. which was recon-
mrnded at the spring term of court.
The county jail was found to be
neatly kept. no complaints registered.
II was found that sewerage has been
installed, which adds much to the
convenience and sanitary condition.
The county books were examined
and found to be neatly kept, and as
faT as we were able to see, without
1 making a detailed audit, accurately
kept
