rg?fielb g&btt?stt. Jas. T. Bacon. Thos. J. Adams. EDITORS. E. KEE8E, Corresponding Editor. Edgefield, s. C., Har. 15, IH93. A Courteous but Conscientious . Grand Jury? Oar Grand Jury for the year 18S3 were discharged on Thursday aftor nDon cf kat week, after four days of j hard and useful work. As will ba seen by reference to their Re port, published in another column, they were courteous but conscien tious. In plain English, they were very sensible and very brave. And in effect they certainly backed up the ADVERTISES in its late advice to our County officials concerning the publication of their annual reports, and in its reminder to the County Commissioners that their economy, in certain respects, although well incant was not wise, and did not par ticularly meet the approbation of the people. The law requiring the pub lication of Ihe Treasurer's Reports of j the disbursements of the public moneys, although adding largely to the official duties of that officer, is one that must be satisfactory to the general public. From the report of audited accounts published by the County Commissioners, no taxpayer can for a moment tell who has and who has not received money. The mere fact of auditing accounts is no indication that said accounts are paid. It is the Treasurerjs -Report which shows at^g&?ce Into whose lid out money has found The recommendation as to the im provement of our Court House is a progressive movement in the right direction. The present Court House is large enough and convenient enough, but decidedly shabby and ill-furnished. That is shabby in its want of fresh paint and whitewash. The walls, the door and window fac ings, the Bench of the Judge, and the Desk of the Clerk, and the benches upon which the a. dience sit, are all painfully dirty. They are strong enough and well constructed enought but they are dark and dingy. And the new overhead ceiling of the Court . room has never felt the touch of the painter's brush. Our Clerk of Couit is a neat man and a conscientious one; but no amount of cleaning that he may, and does, have done wilh scrubbing brush and broom, can make any show amid so much filthy old paint and whitewash. In short the condition of our Court House is not in keeping with the prosperity and progress of our County. This ought not to be ; and we are glad to see our Grand Jury progressive enough to make the movement towards having of4r^WTOty strangers form timatesofthe enterprise and progressiveness of its citizens. That' there should be school checks uncalled for and undeliv ered-through a course of two or three years-is a fact that must have fallen heavily upon certain teachers -weak women perhaps with no one to look after'such matters for them. It is a comfort to know that our Poor House is well kept ; and cer tainly it is a matter of pride that so large a county as Edgefield has but ten paupers. Aa regards the rebuke of the Grand Jury to our Town Council, we are only surprised that it was not sharp er and more comprehensive. When a man is elected on the Town Council of Edgefield, God seems to at once paralyze his head, his heart, his hands -all his parts and all his senses. Or at least this paralysis strikes him. We doubt, however, that God has ,anything to do with it. Cotton Seed Oil Mills. In many sections of our State, Cot ton Seed Oil Mills are being institut ed, with flattering promises of suc cess and'money. Cannot this thing be started in Edgefield? We see om an^aijvertisement which has late lyme? our eye in some paper-an advertisement from J. W. Cardwell & Co., of Richmond, Va.-that the prices of Cotton Seed Oil Mills have fallen wonderfully lately. For in stance, a No. 1 Mill (2 tons seed per day) is set down at $1,S00; and a No. 2 Mill (4 tons per day) at $2,500. There is money in this matter. Let Edgefield be up and doing. A Sbocking Tragedy in tho Asylum at Columbia. COLUMBIA, March H.-At the Lunatic Asylum, at ll o'clock yester day, a patient from Edgefield County named Z. F.' Y hatley, a sufferer from acute mania, while in a sitting-room with half.uxlozen other male patients, managecHo free his hands from the straps which bound them to his waist. He then tore off the arm of a wooden settee and made a wild attack on those in the room. He struck a pa tient, named James A. Barrington, from Marlboro' County, in the back of the head, fracturing the base of his skull. He then attacked Mat Cantwell, a keeper, and felled him Another keeper ran up and secured Whatley. Barrington died this morning. Cantwell is net dangerously wound d. -Cor. Neu's and Courier. A Close Railroad Election. BELTON, March 2.-In the election held here to-day on the question of a subscription for the Carolina, Chicago and Cumberland Gap Railroad 403 votes were cast, the advocates of sub sciption scoring a majority of one.

Hudson, Presid ing Judge for the March Term of Court, 1883. * We the Grand Jurors of Edgelield Coun ty beg leave to submit to your Honor, the subsequent report : That we have exam ined the public Offices of our County, as well as the Poor House, Jail and Court House, and have thu- gathered quite a number of items of much importance to the citizens of Edgefield. We have examined the Books and ac counts of the County Commissioners' of fice, and ve find them neatly ind careful ly kept. We also ?nd checks drawn and signed as far back as-1879, still in the old check books, and not called for by parties in whose favor they are drawn. We re commend that the Commissioners adver tise all undelivered Jchecks quarterly in the County Newspapers. We find, on visiting tho Auditor's and Treasurer's offices, that their Books are well kept, and correct so far as we could examine them. We find that [the Audi tors' Books show that the assessment .of personal property, for the year ending 1st June 1881, amounts to $l,0S9,4G7 ; on real estate, $2,59o,G20. Total assessment for ISSI. $3,G8G,092. And for the yej>r ending 1st June 1882, the assessment on personal property amounts tu $908 OSO ; on real estate, $3,259,SG0. Total assess ment for 1S82, .$4,227,940; an increase for the year 18S2 of $541,S4S. The Treasur er's Books show (hat he collected, for 1882, $3,333.96 more than was on the Auditors' Books. We recommend that an expert he appointed to examine all the Books of the County officers and report to the Grand Jury at the June term of our Court. ^ .--We^have examined the Clerk's and Sheriffs offices, and find their Books neat ly and properly kept, and that the moneys on deposit, vouchers and Bank accounts correspond. We examined the Books and office of the Judge of Probate and found them neatly kept. In this office, we found $99.55. After deducting $3 98 for com missions,', there is s .ill remaining on hand $95.GI, belonging to Dr. S. F. Fant, from estate of W. Sheppard, and Mrs. Lydia Fulmore, from estate of Joshua Miller. We recommend that six chairs be furnish ed for this office. We also recommend that this office be whitewashed, the win dow frames painted and the windows re paired. We visited the office of the School Commissioner, he being absent, and we examined his Record of moneys apportion ed to each Township for the fiscal year ending November 1, 18S3, which record also shows what checks have been issued to this date. We found this writing quite legible, and correct in so far as could be ascertained under the circumstances. VJ" recommend that the School Commissioner be present at the June term of our Court to give an account of his official acts. We have examined the Books of Trial Justices E. A. Glover and W. D. Allen, and find them kept in a neat and proper manner. We recommend that all the Trial Justices be required to bring their Books to the Court House for the inspec tion of the Grand Jury at the June term of ou,r Court. We find the Poor House ?j^gggjv^rid^hea^ Jr is.-n?eded. e found the Jail in good condition, hui' lacking in blankets, cooking.and eat ing utensils as well as locks. We found the Jail yard wall in danger of falling, and recommend its immediate repair. We found the Court House in general, bad repair-the Grand and Petit Jury rooms being in a disgraceful condition. Decency requires a cloBe plank fence to screen the back yard of the Court House from the street. A lock is needed for the front doors of the passage in the lower story to keep out loafing intruders at night. Each office should have a key to the front door. We further recommend that the County Commissioners furnish thc necessary funds to the.Clerk of the Court, and that he bc required to purchase and . supply all necessary stationery and fuel for the Grand Jury while in session. And lo furnish and keep in the Grand Jury room-IS chairs; and each Petit Jury room with 12 chairs and to be kept there; a suitable chair for the Judge and lamps for the Court Boom and Jury Booms; that Iw have the Court House thoroughly cleans ?d and fitted for business before each ses sion of the Court. We suggest that the present Road law is insufficient, and would recommend that the Legislature mact a law, authorizing that the roads je let out to the lowest bidder with good >ond and security for the faithful per ormance of contracts, and the levy of a 'easonable tax to pay for the same. Aleo i law compelling pereons purchasing cat .le and begs and butchering the same, to jeep a record of the marks and brands br the inspection of the public. Also a aw changing the term of office of our bounty Commissioners to 4 years, as they icarcely become familiar with their du ,ie* before their term expire3. We respectfully present the Corporate luthorities of Edgefield Village for the md condition cf their streets. To your Honor, the Solicitor and other )fficers of the Court for courtesies ex ,ended. we return our sincere thanks. Respectfully submitted. EDGAR'L. GUERARD. Foreman. Our Railroad. S. L.

From kiken to this point very lew persons lave thrown any difficulties in their way and we cannot think any of our citizens will hesitate for a moment to ?ive them a free passage. The route is a very important one, ;raversing a rich and prosperous Bec kon of our country and giving us jonnection with the great Northwest, where we get our supplies.

It will cost $05,000 md will be completed in Auguet. G ran i levill et Projected Suit For the Ground of a Thriving Carolina Village. It is understood that suit will thort ly be instituted against the Granit? ville Manufacturing Company and against the town of Graniteville for the land upon which the factory and the village stand. The proceedings, it is said, will be in behalf of the Wool fork heirs in Georgia, in whose family this land originally was held, and from whose possession, it is maintain ed, the property improperly passed by titles illegally transferred. -rMaj. R. J. Moses, of Columbus, Ga., it is learned, has been retained to represent th Woolfork interest.- Chronicle and Constitutionalist.. It is given out that ladies will wear vests precisely like the gentlemen's this summer. When a married man goes to b&d, he will have to put a chalk mark cn his vest, ornext morn ing he may slip on his wife's and not discover his mistake until he inserts his thumb and forefinger in the right haud pocket for a pinch of finecut, and finds nothing but a piece of chewing gum, and the stub cf a soft black lead pencil. Then he will sud denly remember that there was a roll often dollar greenbacks in tue left hand j ocket of his vest-that is, if he is not an editor he will-and he will rush back home in Rarus' time. LEE VS. RICHARDSON.-Samuel Lee, who has stoutly contended for the seat of Mr. Richardson, in the Forty Seventh Congress, was d&olared not elected on the 4lh instant thereby defeating an expected consideration on his part of the nice lit tle sum of some $10,000. This amount would have accrued to bim had ho been declared elected. Tins amount therefore re mained in the Treasury of the Gov ernment, instead of passing from it into Mr. Lee's pockets. The Aiken Recorder says: "The improvements to the Graniteville c?> nal are now complete .and will enable the factory to utilize their water to, better advantage. They were all ex ecuted under the intelligent snpervi-j sion of Superintendent S. W. How land, who is one of the most thorough going factory experts to be found in this or any oth r State." Dr. Mark Reynolds, a prominent citizen and physician of Sumter Co., is dead. Dr. S. S. Marshall, a prominent and useful citizen ot Greenville, was accidentally shot and killed on Tues day at his plantation in Madison Co., Fla.
