Grand Jury Presentment

10 His Honor, Ernest Moore, Presiding
4 Judge:
\ |2fWe, the grand jury, beg leave t,
: make this final presentment for thi.
term of court:
| Flrst-W have passed on all bills
handed us by the solicitor and have
rendered such verdicts as the evidence
in our opinion justified.
I Second Complaint having been made
to US of failure of landowners on vari.
GUS streams in Pickens county, and es-
pecially on Saluda and Oolenoy rivers,
to keep obstructions out of streams,
thereby causing them to fill up with
sand and mud and to ruin hundreds Of
acres of land above them. We there
fore ask the supervisor and commission
ers, by authoritysof harvested in them,
to have these Instructions removed at
once. (See 1912 S. C. Code, Vol. l,
Secs. 22s9, 324O end 2243.)
Third--We ask that the water in the
court house tank be used for sanitary
purposes only.
Fourth Since Pickens county has had
rural police disorderly conduct ,along
public. highways is almost thing of
the past; therefore we ask that their
services be continued. Their report,
herewith attached, shows that from the
9th of June to the 25th of September
they have sent to the chaingang 1892
days and collected in fines and forfeits
$1,514.. ~
Fifth-There are too many accidents
on the public highways caused by reck-
less and fast driving and unlighted
autos, SO we ask that all the county of
ficers see that the people hereafter have
some consideration for state laws in
regard to speeding and driving unlight-
ed ears at night.
Sixth-The county offices have been
examined by committee and they find
everything in good condition The pre-
vious grand jury has recommended that
the supposed shortage against our for
mer treasurer, Mr.. H. w. Farr, be
cleared, as the past records show there
is no shortage existing. We, the pres
GIL BiaHo jury, re-recOmmend Chat the
next legislature pass an act eliminating
this supposed shortage.
SEVENTH committee on roads and
bridges has made careful inspection
of same and find them generally in bad
condition and recommend that these
conditions be looked afrer as early as
possible. See report of said committee
herewith attached
Eighth-The committee looking after
poor house and farm find things in very
good condition. See report of commit
tee on same.
Having discharged our duties as best
we see, we beg to be excused from fur
ther attendance at this term of court.
We wish to thank His Honor, Judge
Ernest Moore, and all court officials for
their kindness and courtesies.
Respectfully submitted:
G. r. HENDRICKS,
Foreman Grand Jury

Two Sad Deaths

w. Ernest Holcombe died at his home
near Farr's bridge in the eastern sec
tion OF the county Sunday morning.
Several months ago Mr.. Holcombe suf-
fered stroke of paralysis which affect
ed his heart and this trouble resulted in
his death. He was about SO wears of
age and was well known and liked bv
large circle of friends. He is survived
by his wife, who was Miss Hill, and
one child, and the following brothers
and sisters: George w. Holcombe, E.
L. Holcombe, Mrs. Laura Ponder, Miss
es Eva and Mamie Holcombe, all of

MS parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. w.
Moore, near Central, September 20.
1916. He was "a years old and was
consecrated member of the Pleasant
HUI Baptist church. His death was
not unexpected, as he had been suffer
ing several months with heart trouble.
and oil was done for him that loving
hands and medical aid could do, but to
no avail. He was called to that beauti-
ful land above. The remains were laid
to rest in the Mt. Zion cemetery. He
leaves to mourn his death a wife and
one child, father and mother, four sis
ters and two brothers. We extend to
the bercaved ones our sympathy and

Mrs. w. III. Ashmore Dead

Our little city was ssddened Sunda.
night when it became known that Mrs
w. II. Ashmore was dead At sever
o'clock last Sunday evening, afte
only a few days Hines, the spirit of thi
good woman passed away.
Simple, but impressive funeral ser
vices were held at the Methodist church
, Monday afternoon, after which all thai
was mortal of this grand old mother in
Israel was tenderly conveyed to oul
Silent City, where she now rests in
peace. Rev. l.. E. Virgins conducted
. the services.
Mrs. Ashmore was born in Anderson
county II years ago and was daughter
OF Elias Elrod. In 1869 she was married
to w. III. Ashmore and he, with six
children survive. The children are:
Mrs. ID. j. Carter, of Chicago; S. j..
Ashmore, of Wichita Falls, Texas; j.
II. Ashmore, of Grand Island, Florida:
Miss Maude Ashmore, of Atlanta: Mrs.
Y. L. Leohr, of Manchester, Ca, and
Miss Vesta Ashmore, of Pickens.
Practically all of her married life she
has lived in Pickens and was one of
'Pickens' Oldest residents. She was in
teresting in conversation and recalled
as If only yesterday the days of long
ago. Many times the writer has been
in this hospitable home and listened to
her recall the days of old. listened to
her motherly advice, and be cheered by
her bright, sunny, cheerful disposition.
and we are saddened to think that this
good woman has been called away.
Hers is path marked with deeds of
kindness and cheer. Flowers, not
thorns, sunshine, not shadow, did she
scatter everywhere.
Mrs. Ashmore was an everyday Chris
tian. Her life was a blessing and bene-
faction to all within the sphere of it's
influence. She was loved by our people.
1t was here that the best days of her
life were spent and it was her desire
that when her last hour had come and
the God of eternity called her to her
everlasting rest, that beneath the shady
trees of our Silent City on it's sloping
hillsides, surrounded by all the beauties
of nature and by happy and contented
people, should be the eternal abiding
place of all that was mortal of her.
Well may her children cherish her
memory as a precious legacy and we
fain would say word of comfort to the
stricken ones; we can but let our tears
flow 0pt in sympathy with theirs and
point them to the promise, "At even
tide it shall be light

"A Dangerous Precedent"

The following article, written by the
editor of the Easley Progress, Appeared
IN that paper last week in answer to q
recent article written by Joel H. Miller
and published in The Pickens Sentinel
two weeks ago:
'"The above communication from Mr.
Joel II. Miller appeared in The Pickens
Sentinel last week. The Progress would
take no notice of It had he not referred
to what he says he saw take place at
Easley on the 18th of this month, which
was the day of the second primary. Mr..
Miller evidently has not read his bible
profitably else he would have noticed
that there was always a way provided
for one to escape from the consequences
OF what seemed to be inexorable laws.
Note what it says about the man SLAYER
and the way provided for one who acci-
dentally killed his fellow man. In fact
the very plan of salvation itself is found
ed on the principle that in order to es-
tablish the consequences of sin we must
appeal to the Great Judge through faith,
and He has our name written in the
Book of Life, regardless of all forms of
law
Doubtless the seventeen men who
voted at Easley were good and true
citizens of Pickens county, as much 30
as Mr.. Miller or the writer. For some
reason, probably sickness or absence
from their homes at the time required
for enrolment, they failed to get their
names on the roll in time for the first
primary. Are they to be deprived for
this reason, of voting in the second pri-
mary? We say no, and the very fact
that way was provided for them,
shows the wisdom and fairness of the
primary laws, which is founded on the
principle that no white citizen of the
State should be deprived of his fran
chise. Again, Mr.. Miller seems to think
that all who took advantage of this plan
were anti-Bleasites, when the facts in
the case do not warrant any such idea.
We are Informed that out::of four names
at Easley mills, who got orders, as he
says, from Circuit Judge, which gave
S'A>'A eHS iSiI " VotS. IITce VOCcQ Tor
Blease. Of the seventeen who voted at
the Easley city box, some were doubt
less for Blease. The Progress is also
informed that a brother-in-law of Mr..
Miller who was out of the state at the
| first primary, went to Pickens on the
18th and applied for an order and was
refused on the ground that it was, then
too late, as the books had already been
turned over to the managers. This par
ty, we understand, intended voting for
Manning.
Again, Mr.. Miller charges in a veil
cd way, that it was trick to defeat
Blease, by rounding up, purchasing, or
lntimidating or making drunk, or bv
some other process, some 5000 people
who had neglected to register for the
first primary. If the Manning -ites had
been disposed to purchase votes, they
would have had to purchase them from
the Blease supporters or have imported
them from another state Is it anv
worse to buy than to sell? The facts
are, this was fair election; as fair as
any that was ever held in the city of
Easley All the reason why any candi
date was defeated was because the
majority of the voters did not vote for
them.'

The state fair will be held in Colum-
bla October 1928. The exhibit last
year from Pickens county was one of
the best and this year should be even
better. Farm Demonstrators It. A..
Bowen requests us to ask the good
farmers of Pickens county to begin to
gather their farm products that they
expect to send to the fair. The pro-
ducts can be left at B. F. Parsons store
IN Pickens, at j. P. Glenns in Liberty
and at L. H. Smiths office in Easley
and Mr.. Bowen will see that they are
properly taken care of and sent to CO.
lumbia.
