•Hieod to the audicnco by Capt.
Stanley.
Coi. Blount began by a happy
allusion to his first visit in 1872 to
Lanrons county, the home of the
chivalrous Troup. Ho drew a vivid
picture of the odious Itadical misrule
tliat was then in force in sovoral of
oiir sister states, and- traced the his
tory of tho conflict of tho two great
contending .parties down to 1870
when a great Honioeratio victory was
liiflllfjcfl l/y Republican fraud. Ho
allowed that tho Electoral Commis
sion was the best possihlo human
d&ikii J for oxtrlcuting tho country

The Grand Jury Presentments.
October Term, 1878, Laurens
SrPEhron Court. -
AVe the Grand Jury, chosen for the
October Term of Laurens Superior
Court, beg leave to submit for public
consideration the following record of
onr doings and actings as members of
tlio Grand Jury, mid make a few
recommendations which wo deem to
be for the public good.
We have, through committees up-
pointed from our body, oxamhicd os
far iw our timo would allow, the
books of tho various officers through
out the county, and with a few ex
ceptions, find them correctly kept,
but without much regard to order
orneati.oss. In our examination of
the dockets of the Justices of the
Peneo and Notaries Public we find
two instances where too much cost
is charged on ucconnt of the contin
ued uso of the old fee bill of tho
Code, regardless of tlio now law
found in the nets of 1877. We
therefore recommend that tlio Justi
cos of the Peace and Notaries Public
of the county, who have not already
been furnished bo immediately sup
plied with said acts, that this orror
may not again occur. Wo have also
examined, through a competent
committee, the Tax Digest for the
present year, And report a general
falling off in. tlio.taxable property of
tlio county, and a fow instances
wliovo, in our judgment property has
boon returned nL too low a valuation,
and wo have taken proper stcpMo
have said valuation corrected.
The Treasurer’s books have boo** ex
amined also and wo rogrot fAat it is
our duty to report no fund* on hand;
and wo would suggest that great cau
tion bo usod in the expenditures of
the public money, as tho county ox-
ponsos must liooessarily be very large
in tho future on account of tho rapid
increase of litigation in onr county.
Owing to tho press of business we
havo Open unable to examine tlio Or
dinary’s books as wo would like to
have dono, and lionoo havo appointed
a commit too to look after said books
and report tlio rosult of tlioir exam
ination to tho next Grand Jury.
Wo report tho public buildings of
our county in very iUir condition,
but would r<wi>ootrutiy rucmum.,1 .— ;
jailor to add to bis catalogue of du
ties neatness and cleanliness, as be
seems to havo utterly ignored them
heretofore in tJio discharge of his
otlior duties It is not tho purpose
of the J.«w, as wo understand it, to
tnuko our jail a public koimcl, but
simply a placo of confinomont for
tlioso charged or accused of crimo.
The oommiticos report the dungeon
pf our jail in a very filthy condition,
giving forth an odor almost intoler
able to tho occupants thoroof; and
we suggost .that immediate attention
bo given the matter.
Wo report tho condition of the
public wads hotter than usual, but
remark that there is still a manifest
want of diligence on the part of com
missioners in enforcing a striot com-
plianuo with tho road laws of tho
State. Tho bridges aro in a fair con
dition gonorally, though there nro a
few ii.stances to tlio contrary. Tlio
bridge across Pews crook needs somo
repairs, and. wo ask tho proper au
thorities to look after tho condition
of said bridge as early as practicable.
Wo find after examination that No
taries Public aro to bo appointed in
throo of tho districts of onr county,
vix., Jacksons, Dublin and Har
vard's; and wo suggest John T.
Ohiploy for the first, No 1309, David
ltobinson for tlio second, No. 34i>,
and J. T. Coomlw for tho third, No.
345.
Wo regret to noto tho remarkable
increaso of orimo in our community,
mid as guard inns of the public morals
of our comity wo fool that it is not
only onr duty to detect and expose
evimo, but to striko at tho root of
the evil .itself by pointing out, what
wo believe to be the cause: and nttor
calm deTibcration wo aro constrained
to say that nine-tontlis of the crimo
committed iu our comity is the rosult
of whiskey. Drunkenness, lawless
ness and every manner of evil seem to
lie the order of the day; our people
have given themselves over to rioting
and are rushing blindly to tho goal
of their own nun, - and really we
might truly exclaim,
“Judgment, thou art fl«l to brutish
litHta,
And men hero lost their reason!” .
We now ask tho citizens of Lau
rens county to sustain us in the notion
we have taken and to aid us in plant
ing the banner of Rtronji which we
have attempted to iioiftt and which
must again be prostrated unices we
liuvc their cootfer.il ion. A wise leg
islature has priced the power in our
bunds to prohibit the sale of whiskey
in the country by a voteof two-tbirds
of the freeholders living within throe
miles of the placo where it is to be
vended, and while we feel that a
great deal of good lias been accom
plished by this law, yet wc do not
feel that it is just to entirely do away
with the sale of whiskoy in the coun
try and allow it to go on inincorporat-
cd towns thereby creatinga monopoly
to benefit a fow at the cxpAise of
others. Therefore, after calmly con
sidering the many evils arising from
the sale of intoxicating liquors, and
after waiting in vain for some action
to bo taken by the town conncil of
tlils place, we recommond our Rep
resentative to the next General As
sembly to lend his aid in the passage
of a bill having for its object the
utter extermination of whiskey from
mir comity, not allowing it tobe sold
bv any one except licensed druggists
for medical purposes unless a-license
of 81500 is first paid.
Beforo closing our remarks wo feel
that it is duo his Honor, Judge Pate
to thank him for tlio fuithful and im
partial manner in which lie lias dis
charged hif* duties, and return thanks
to 061, TlioS. Eason for courtesies ox-
tended ottr body. We recommend
tliyftlic members of tho Grand Jury
receive $2.00 per day for tlioir servi
ces, and that these presentments be
published in the Dublin Post.

Special Off a' <> made, to enable
the Mouthern people to eeefor themeelte* how
good a peeper THE W01UA) is and how
worthy it is of their support. ■
Oil the 1st of May, 1870, the ownership
and control of THE WOULD passed into
the hands of the undersigned, under whose
absolute and untrammelled direction TIIE
WOULD has ever since remained and now
rcmniiiH,
During flic whole of this time THE
WORLD has labored patiently-and per-
sovcringJy for tho accomplishment of two
great objects in politics of paramount inter
est to the Southern people.
I. The restoration of Local Self-Govern
ment at the South.
II. A Heal Reform of tlic Civil Service,
in such wise as to destroy the political ma
chines under tho operation Of which it lias
come lo pass that tlio people are taxed to
support political parties, whereas political
parties have no other reason of being except
to lessen the burdens of government.
The first of these objects has - been tri
umphantly accomplished. All intelligent
Northern men now admit Hint all parts of
the country were as deeply interested as
tlio South in Seeing it won. A corrupt
.ui'f.l.jiuii-Oemocttilic government in tlio
South was a permanent- pcrirTiniic'ascen
dency of true American principles in the
Federal Government and therefore to the
peace and honor of the whole people.
Tlio second political object for which
THE WORLD contends still remains to be
fully achieved; The actual Administration
begumits careor with excellent i» 1 h,»ui K( .,s in
this direction of whSoh it xu iuinicieiit to say
that they have been as vet only in part re
deemed. THE WORLD for its part will
resolutely support any honest effort to re
deem these fully, by whomsoever made,
and will as resolutely dcuouucc every ob-
stnelo thrown in the way of redeeming
•hem, from whatever quarter.
It seems to the undersigned eminently
n er that l^o should ask the co-operatiou
lc best toon of the South with THE
WORLD in its efforts to carry out the pol-
»cy here outlined. Ho believes THE
WORLD to be n paper which Southern
citizens and Democrats can recommend to
Southern renders ns an intiuonco worthy
and important to be brought to bear with
constantly increasing power upon the con
duct. of our national uuairs, in the interest
of truth, of justice and of harmony among
our people of oil sections.
It is my desire to keep THE WORLD
ih a living relation with the best thought
of the South, to tho end that the best ideas,
wishes and feelings of the Southern peo
ple may be clearly and fairly made known
to tho North, thcEnst aud the West. Alike
in private and in public affairs the misun
derstanding Of men by ono another lies at
the root of so much evil that the word
itself lavs come to be a synonym ^vitli quar
reling and strife. It was a wise saving of
Lord Elgin, at the t ime of one of our slimm
est disputes with Great Britain, that two
intelligent gentlemnu alone on a raft in tho
Atlantic with plenary powers could adjust
the Whole matter honorably in an hour.
THE WORLD simply asks its friends
at tlio South to aid it m bringing uboitt a
complete meeting of minds oil all publie
questions between the intelligent citizens
of all parts of the Union.
