A Large Marmfaeturing Plant Long Idle to
Be Sold.
Florence, Nov, 9.—(Special.)—The large
plant of the Foster Manufacturing com
pany, makers of builders’ hardware, one
of the boom industries that has been idle
for years, has been placed in the hands
of Hon. R. T. Simpson and A. E. Walker
of this city as trustees to be sold for the
benefit of the holders of an issue of
debenture bonds. Messrs. Simpson and
Walker were appointed trustees of the
company by Judge Bruce of the United
States district court at Huntsville.
The holders of the debenture bonds are
New England capitalists. The property
consists of a large three-story brick
building, a number of smaller buildings
and a lot of valuable machinery. It is
said a movement Is on foot to buy the
property and convert it into a cotton mill.
The Philadelphia furnace at this place,
one of the largest blast furnaces in the
south, will shortly be taken out of the
hands of the receiver. The Florence
C-'lton and Iron company, owners of the
furnace, have decided to pay off the com
pany’s indebtedness and have the money
raised for the purpose. It is stated on
good authority that the owners expect
to put the furnace in operation in a very
short time. A decree was entered in the
United States court on November 1, di
recting that the receivership be dissolved
upon the payment by the company of the
floating indebtedness and the expenses of
the receivership. The company has ad
vised the receiver, Mr. ”T C. Eltlnfe, of itB
Intention to pay off the indebtedness,
and has sent a statement from a Philadel
phia bank showing that the necessary
funds are on hand for the purpose.
The Philadelphia Is a 150-ton furnace.
It was successfully operated for several
months and made ’a record as an iron
pr iducer. Its resumption will give em
ployment to more than 150 men.

REPORT OF GRAND JURY
A Supplementary Report by Five
of the Juryman.
189 TRUE BILrS RETURNED
A Very Interesting Document, in Which All
' Classes Are Touched Up More
or Less.
Prior to Its adjorunment the grand
jury yesterday handed m its report to the
Judge of the criminal court.
Out of the 221 cases examined 189 true
bills were found, 159 of which were fel
onies and twenty-nine misdemeanors.
Nothing deserving adverse criticism
was found in the books of the county of
ficers and their bonds were found cor
rect in form and sufficient in surety.
Violations of the garnishment law
were reported "almost without exception
by every Justice of the peace," but as the;
vit iations were technical Impeachments
were not recommended.
The jury reports finally that there has
been no dimunition of crime and rec
ommends the passage bf an act giving
exclusive jurisdiction to the criminal
c-ourNof misdemeanors begun by indict
ment of the grand jury. In conclusion,
favorable mention is made of the execu
tive officers of the county and city for the
excellent work they have done in the cap
ture and conviction Of criminals.
The following supplementary report
was submitted by Jurors R. J. Tillman,
John G. Bonner, A. C. Oxford, J. M. Du
pey and J. R. Jenkins. The report was
not concurred in by Foreman W. J.
I<*owell and Jurors J. E. Camp, J. A.
Downey, II. A. Haigler, G. H. Bailey,
Jacob Smith, W. J. Yielding, J. K. P.
Laird, V. A. Goodwin, J. W. Farrington
and IV. P. WaldrOp.
The report reads as follows:
Just ices of the Peace.
“We have caused to come before us
every regularly elected justice of the
peace and notary public ex-officio jus
tices of the peace In the fifteen beats of
this county and have carefully examined
the dockets kept by them in their official
capacity and have found them in all re
spects reguir, except in some instances
we found some slight irregularities In the
issuance of process, which we believe is
due to Ignorance of the law as much as to
ari' other cause, and excepting one or
two of said officials, whom ws- believe to
be guilty of malfeasance in office and
which we have heretofore reported to
your honor.
Detectives.
"During our session wc have had occa
sion to observe certain acts and actions
of persons who call themselves detec
tives, and we deem it advisable and rec
ommend that the legislature pass a law
requiring all persons who arc engaged
in or who may become engaged in de
tective work to execute a bond in the
tsum of $5000 or $10,000, with not less than
two good and sufficient sureties, to be
approved by and filed with the probate
Judge of the county in which said person
resides, or has his principal place of busi
ness, said bond to be conditioned to pay
any damage that any citizen may sus
tain by reason of any unlawful or Illegal
act of such detective. In his capacity as
Such.
Newspapers.
“We believe also that all quiet, peace
able and law-abiding citizens should be
protected against the slanderous, libel
ous and scurrilous attacks upon their
character by wholly irresponsible and in
solvent newspapers or periodicals, and
we, therefore, recommend that the legis
lature enact a law requiring the owners
or proprietors of all newspapers or pe
riodicals published in this state, or at
least in tills county, having 500 or more
subscribers, to execute a bond in the
sum of at least $3000, with sufficient sure
ties, to be' approved by and filed with the
probate judge of the county where such
paper is published, conditioned to pay
any citizen any damage that he may sus
tain by reason of any publication or edi
torial appearing In said paper or periodi
cal.
Mining Corporations.
"Our attention has also been called
to a custom and practice among certain
Individuals and corporations engaged In
the quarrying and mining business
which, to our minds, calls for the severest
condemnation, and should he a ringing
appeal to the legislature for relief. It
appears that certain mine and quarry
operators deduct or detain out of the
monthly wages of their employes every
month 50 cents If a single man and *1 if
a married man, for house rent, 50 cents
or $1, as the case may be. for insurance,
and like amounts for a physician and a
school teacher. It also appears that the
house rent money is deducted and held
back, whether the employe lives on the
operator’s property or not. If he owns
the house in which he lives, or if he rents
it from some one else, still he must pay
the operator his monthly house rent. This
seems to us to be extortion, pure and sim
ple. In some Instances the physician's
or school teacher’s fund each aggregate
*600 or *800 a month. The operator em
ploys a regular physician for *125 or *150
a month and a school teacher for a like
amount. We are not informed what dis
position the operator makes of the bal
ance of the funds, but we have no reason
do believe that it is donated to any char
itable cause. These are such gross out
rages and impositions on the laboring
man that we believe the legislature
should in some way correct and remedy
the evil.
Cheok System.
"The commissary check system, as in
vogue in this district, has been brought
to our attention. From whart information
we have been able to gather on the sub
ject we believe that the system is bad
and should be abolished; that It is a
menace to the substantial business and
commercial interests of the community.
We are informed that although the
checks are marked ’not transferable,’
yet coal. Iron and all other kinds of mer
chandise can be bought and paid for
with these checks by the holder thereof.
This we believe is unfair competition,and
since, as we have been advised, your
honor has ruled in a recent case that
these do not and cannot perform the
office of money by reason of being stamp
ed ‘not transferable,’ we recommend
that the legislature enact a law making
all checks or tickets issued for labor
good in money in the hands of the holder
for face value, and due and collectable
thirty days from date of issuance.
Local Laws.
"We believe that our local laws
should be changed and amended in many
respects by legislative enactment, and
we recommend the following:
"That all witness certificates Issued
out of a court of record be made non
transferrable.
“That it be made compulsory upon the
solicitor or foreman of any grand Jury to

GOLDEN
MEDICAL
DISCOVERY
Many years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., com
pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi
ents which had an especial effect upon the
stomach and liver, rousing the organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying and
enriching the blood. By such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
pure blood; they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive can run with
out coal. You can not get a lasting cure of
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti
ficially digested foods or pepsin—the stom
ach must do its own work in its own way.
I)o not put your nerves to sleep with so
called celery mixtures, it is better to go to
the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve
cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af
fections, such as sleeplessness and weak,
nervous feelings are completely cured by
the “ Discovery.” It puts on healthy flesh,
brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the
whole system.
Mrs. K. HENKE. of No. 896 North Hoisted St.,
Chicago. HI., writes: "I regard my improve
xucm as si in j) i y
wonderful. Since
taking Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Dis
covery iu connection A
with his * Pleasant
Pellets ' I have gain
ed in every respect,
particularly in flesh h
and strength. My ^
liver was dreadfully
enlarged and I suf
fered greatly from
dyspepsia. no phy
sician could give
relief.
Now, after two
months I am entire
ly relieved of my
disease. My appe
tite is excellent;
food well digested;
much improved.”

The Cynical Saying of the Old- Time Sulky Salesman that—
“A looking-around-customer never comes back to buy, but
keeps ‘looking around’ until tired out, then falls an easy prey to
the last store she visits, whatever stuff they show her—”
All that is changed here, especially in our Dress Goods,
Cloaks and Capes, and Underwear Departments.
Our best customers are those who have “looked around”
at other stocks.
They almost invariably come back and tell us by their
