The WHrrhonne.
The scarey times about the price of ootton
has been worth much to the warehouse, where
much of the cotton is hi 1 n stored. This time
last year Dearly all the cotton had been sold.
Since the warehouse has been bbllt we do not
see bow the town ever got along without It.
It la dow a necessity to both the town aod the
county. Farmers are no longer comoelled to
sell their cotton In the first of toe season
when the price Is low, but may store It, and,
when necessary, they can take their receipts
to any one of the banks aud draw money on
It.
Sold Hia Hoick.

Presentment of the Grand Jury, tc
Abbeville, S, C. Feb. 17, 1904. o*!
ro his Honor J.C. Klugb, Presiding w
Judge: ^ 71
We Deg leave 10 mase cue ionowing (j,
resentment. fc
We have acted upon all bills of in- '
lictment handed us by the Solicitor. g,
A committee of our body inspected ,r
he jail and report the same in good tj
londition. There seems to be some D,
lefect in the flues or piping which f8
arries off the smoke from the furnace rp
ir stove. This defect can be easily aj
emedied by substituting terra-cotta J
tinine?running same through the ?'
op of the building. We would re- j(
ommend the Supervinor to give this ^
atter his attention and have the aleration
made. ?
We have examined the condition of J*
he poor bouse and premises, and re- ?
>ort the same in good order. The innates
are comparatively healthy and
airly well satisfied. We found among
be inmates of tbe poor bouse a two ^
ears old girl child; we don't think
his a proper placeto raise children and
rould recommend that the child be
iound out to some responsible party or
>??enttnan orohan home. The parent
i a blind woman, and is willing for j'V
be arrangement to be made.
At this term of court we will not
ttempt to make an investigation of .
be books of the different county
fficere, but will defer this work until ?
ater in the year. When this investstation
is made we have the promise r*
f the Comptroller General that he ?
rill send Mr. E. B. Wilson from his
fflce to assist an expert to be emiloyed
by the grand jury. g
We find that a large number of the d
aagistrates have not complied with
aw as to making their quarterly re- d
torts. The excuse generally rendered ?
y them, the matter was overlooked. R
Jow In order that they may not have rj
n excuse for not attending to this im- ?4
>ortant duty, in the future, would rejuest
the supervisor to notify each
nd every magistrate, on postal card,
alliog their attention to the time, and T
mportance of making these reports, -g
Lfter this notice, should there be any
rho fail to report, we think It
fould be wise to hold back the salary
T such delinquants until their reports
lave been received and passed upon ?
>y the supervisor.
We have made a partial examination
>f the dispensary?-the financial afairs
of this Institution is closely lookd
after by the State authorities, we t
re satisfied that the law governing
his institution is being propeily ad- d
nlnistered.

County Supervisor's Report, J
February Term, 1904. K
To the Hon. J. C. Klugh, Presiding ^
Judge. a
I beg leave to submit herewith my 5,1
nunal report in accordance with sec- **
ion 768 of the code of 1902. 1An
itemized statement of the ex- 2
ienditure in the different department 01
f the County Government is hereto
ttached. 1
I am glad to report that the conlition
of the public roads are perhaps
letter than ever before, in the history
fthe county, at this season of the B
ear. This condition however is due
irgely to the very favorble weather; h
s very little rain has fallen during
he past several months. Usually at
bis season of the year the roads are
adly cut and almost impassible in n
oany places. 81
I desire to state, that all public roads a
f the county have been gone over witn u
he scraper during the year, and put >'
n good condition; the work being J
lone by convict labor exclusively, a
'hese road scrapes being used, during C
he summer months: this work having
ieen completed on or about October
he tenth. The convicts were then
>ut into two camps?and placed one a
ach on two leading roads from c
Abbeville, and up to the present time
lave been engaged hauling stone and
ravel, constructing pavement roads.
One road commencing at Long Cane A
"emetery and running Dy way of Due
Vest ana Donalds to Saluda River in
he north east corner of the county, A
distance of about twenty-two miles:
racticaily all the level parts of this
oad have been either maccadamized
r graded, and it gives me mucn |
Measure to state that a very excellent
uality of gravel or chert was readily B
btained without cost to the county. B
The other road beginning at the city E
imits of Abbeville, running by way B
f Martin Mill to Lowndesville in the B
forth West corner of the county was r
worked in the same way. T
About six mile of permanent road B
?as constructed during the year. There I
eems to be a growing demand for the
pening up of new public roads in *
very section of the county. It is my
pinion, in most cases the request for
bese roads should be granted, but un- 8
jrtunately perhaps for all concerned C
re feel that the financial condition of
he county will not warrant us grant- c
g many requests for new roads.
>wing to the fact ttiat the right of way F
>r the location of new roads though
sually given free of charge, but when 8
be supervisor undertakes to locate 1
he road the land owner almost in- 8
ariably objects to the road passing c
ver his land, unless he be allowed to c
ictate exactly where the road should E
e located. These rights of way are freuently
given to the county by the 8
ind owners, however in many cases C
hey assume, having given the right of 1
ray as a matter of courtesy, they 1
hould be allowed to say exactly where J
he road should be located on their f
^remises. Quite frequently they give
be right of way with the hope or un- *
erstanding in their own minds that
public road, so much desired, will be I
Dcated in an old plantation road that
ias been in use for fifty years and in
aany places this road would be, if so 5
seated, in a ten foot gully, therefore
aaking it practically impossible to open
.ew roads; as many of the land owners *
rill not give the right of way nncon- c
itionaliy and as the funds for road pur- *
oses are limited the rights of way for <ew
roads cannot be condemned and C
iaid for by the county.^ 1
" nnH ftViqOrVntlnn it. S
-T rum CApencuvo ?uu
i my opinion that many of our public
oads should be relocated. Some progesa
has been made along this line durng
the past year. About five miles of
oad have been relocated, going around
illls on an easy grade; much yet regains
to be done along this line. As a
ule the opening up of new roads and
be relocation of old roads must be done
etween the gathering and the planting
f the crop, in order to save the county
rom paying extra damages. In reloating
old roads the land owner is not
'1 ~e
xpecteu co give tue rigut ui waj,
he same is almost invaribly paid for by
he county.
I desire to state in this connection
hat the county board of commissioners
esolved at their meeting in March 1903
o accept four days work from delin[uent
road tax payers; that from three j
V
> five men were employed in each
>wnsbip to warn and work delinquents
u the public roads; the number of daye i
ork performed by delinquents was '
r4; the average cost to the county per
ay, for each delinquent was tbirtylur
cents.
rhe <ixpenpe of maintaining the chaining
includes the co9t of tools, mules,
mle feed, tents, wagons, <tc;you will noce
further that the chain-gang receives
art of their supplies from the county
irm, for which we give the farm credit,
his amount not being included in the
?gregate amount charged to the chaining.
The farm has been well cultivated unsr
the management of Mr. J. M.
Williams; and a good crop made. The
op raised consisted principally of corn,
jaa, wheat and oats; with an excellent
op of sweet and irish potatoes. The
,rm is in a high state of cultivation,
at corn being the principal crop culti- j
?ted on the farm for a number of t.
jars, partly owing to the prevalence of ^
orms which have materially decreased t
le yield of corn on the farm for the a
?st several years, owing to the past I *
ill the present year, decrease the J
ireage of corn planted, and plant cot- i
m instead. Hoping thereby to make J
ie institution as near as possible self (
obtaining.
We have examined the magistrates j
icket as required by law, quarterly, ,
id find they have turned over in fines i
? the county Treasurer five hundred '
id thirty two dollars and Bixty cents |
S32.60] and eentenced thirteen prison- f
'8 to the county chaingang. }
Financial condition of the county is (
x)d.
All olaims have been cashed when '
lie, to do this it fwas necessav to bor- j
>w eleven thousand [$11,000.00] dollars <
urinjr the year. In March five thous- j
id dollars was borrowed from Hester
rothers, at an annual interest of six
3r cent. In July four thousand
>4000,00] dollars, was borrowed from
le National Bank of Abbeville, for six
lonths at seven per cent interest per
anum. On October 20th two thousand
allars was borrowed from the Farmers
ank of Abbeville for two months at 1
)ven per'cent per annum. And paid
a December the 15th the average anual
Interest on all money borrowed for
>unty purposes being about 3 3-4 per
jnt.
I desire to state in conclusion that '
ie total amount of expenditures for all
)unty purposes was, $23,414.23 leaving
small balance in the County Treasury,
> the credit of the county.
There are a few outstanding claims
ue by the county that have not been
. l- 1- -II?J that ho

When Ton Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a cold should
be to relieve tbe langs. This Is best accomplished
by tbe free nse of Chamberlain's
' Cough Remedy. This Remedy liquefies the
tough mucus and causes its expulsion from
the air cells of tbe lungs, produces a free expectoratlon,
and opens tbe secretions. A ?complete
cure soon follows. Thjs remedy
will cure a severe cold In less time than any '.--J
other treatment, and It leaves the system In
a natural and healthy oondltlon. It counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia. For
