GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.

The presentment of the Grand
Jury handed to Judge Wilson on the
last day of court is as follows:
Along with the report is the An
nual Report of the County Supervls-
or. 1t is given here at length:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
COUNTY OF ABBEVILLE.
March End, 1916.
To the Honorable John S. Wilson,
presiding Judge:
We have investigated and reported
upon each and every indictment CIV
en- us by the Solicitor.
We have by committee visited in
person the County Home and Jail,
making a thorough and complete in
spection of both institutions. We are
much gratified to report the manage
ment and inmates in as good condi-
ton as could be expected-and the
inmates we'll provided with the neces-
saries of life, not single complaint
having been made to our body as to
the condition and surroundings of
either institution. On the other hand
the inmates expressed themselves as
well satisfied with present conditions.
We would call your attention to a
complaint, by both the inmates and
management of the conduct of in
mate James Hughey, of the County
Home, and suggest that the matter be
remedied at once by the Supervisor
with suhc action as he may deem ne
cessary. Mr.. Hughey is an old Con-
federate soldier and our opinion is
that he should be maintained at the
Confederate Home, instead of the
County Farm, as Abbeville County
has at present no representative at
said institution.
We did not deem it expedient to
make an examination. of the County
Offices at the present term of Court
but will do so by committee at an
early date, reporting our findings at
the next term of court.
We recommend a number of small
repairs be made at the Jail, such as,
leaking roof, broken lights, we'll COW
er, over head plastering, and stove
room, and further recommend the
Supervisor furnish additional lights
and a bath-tub. The amount neces-
sary will be comparatively small, and
suggest the Supervisor attend to this
matter as early as convenient.
We feel much gratifed as to the
absence of lawlessness to any great
extent in our County, not single
complaint of surroundings or condi-
tions having reached this body during
the present sitting.
Owing to the present financial con-
dition of our County, we recommend
that the Supervisor discontinue the
practice of opening new roads, and
building of new bridges for the pres
ent.
Attached hereunto is the report of
the County Supervisor and Probate
Judge.
In conclusion we wish to express
our thanks to your Honor and OFF,
GERS of the Court for courtesies ex-
tended.
Respectfully Submitted,
M. E. HOLLINGSWORTH,
Foreman Grand Jury.

WORRY IS A DISEASE

The disorder which causes its victims
TO worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
Neurasthcnia is entirely distinct from
hysteria although the patient may have
both diseases at the same time.
Neurasthenia often results from some
nervous shock, such as the loss of a
near relative, business reverses, or some
severe overstrain on the nervous sys-
TEN. The patient is usually pale, show
ing that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is TO build up the blood be-
cause anything that builds up the gen.
eral health helps TO correct the ncu-
rasthenic condition. Rest and good
tonic is the very best treatment in most
cases.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because theJ
are non-alcholic and neurasthenic patti
ents should avoid alcoholic stimulants.
Tho DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, n. Y, has published a
little book on nervous disorders that
contains a chapter on neurasthenia, in
which the symptoms arc fully described
and the correct treatment given. The
booklet is free on request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt OF price, 90
cents per box, six boxes for 500.

ment was fresh from the printer, and
Senator Lee pointed out that II bore no

ed, however, only in developing the fact
that the report had been prepared under
authority of the secretary of war and
that Col. Brown had been duly assigned

smilingly confirmed this information.
Lee began questioning the witness, art
er a satirical comment on what had pos
sibly been omitted from the report,
when he was abruptly ehoked of by Sem
ator Chamberlain, who informed him
that the committee was conducting the
hearings fairly. 1T is hardly fair Tor
you TO come here and try TO impeaeh the
testimony OF these witnesses" said Sen
ator Chamberlain.
II come here and find Colonel Brown
giving you an account of the athletic
training essential TO the pursuit OF Mex
lean bandits in high attitudes, which Is
about as relevant to the subject of uni
versal military training as would be
discussion of the relative prowess OF the
Harvard and Yale and the academy OF
football teams" retorted Senator Lee.
Further remarks were cut short by
Senator Thomas, who announced his com.
plete agreement with the suggestion OF
the chairman that the subcommittee was
perfectly capable of conducting its own
affairs. Senator Brady promptly coin
cided, and Lee was bowled over and out.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Blair
Lee of Maryland broke into the Senate
committee on military affairs yesterday
with a sensational demand that General
Hugh J.. Scott and General Leonard
Wood be recalled and submitted to cross
examination on their statement made be-
fore the committee Monday relative to
the efficiency of the National Guard. The
request of Senator Lee, which developed
into a charge of perfectly obvious clo-
ture of information" was wholly unex-
pected, and with rising anger Chair
man Chamberlain and his associates, SEN
ators Thomas of Colorado and Brady of
Idaho, listened to the demand of Lee that
he, although not a member OF the com.
mttee, be permitted to cross .examine all
witnesses. In the course of his remarks
Senator Lee said that General Wood had

SIMS SAYS 14-INCH
GUNS SURPASS 16-INCH
United States Naval Expert Uses Battle
of Falkland Islands
as Example.

Washington, Dec. 20-Before the House
naval committee Captain William 5.
Sims, commander of the battleship Ne
vada, asserted his opinion that l4-inch
guns were superior to the l6-inch guns
with which new American battle craft
will be armed.
Captain Sims showed a series of charts
of the Jutland battle. He pointed out
the part played by battle cruisers in that
action, and insisted that because Eu'
ropean navies are equipped with these
vessels the United States also must have
them.
"In the Falkland island battle, Capt.
Sims said, the German commander prob.
ably would have defeated the British II
he had forced the action to close range
instead of running the heavier switter
ships. At 800 yards, he said, the greater
number of eight-inch German guns would
have torn the big British ships to pieces.
The British battle cruiser lndefatigable
was struck thirtyfour times as it was,
he said, but at such distance that not
a man was wounded nor any damage OF
consequence DONE"
