Wilson, j presiding: We the grand jury desire to make | this our presentment: We have inspected the county jail and find it well kept by the Sheriff, but recommend to the Supervisor and County Commissioners that they have constructed, at once, a steel tower and steel tank, as the one on hand has become worthless. We desire to respectfully ask the City Council of Lexington to remove the guard house adjoining the jail, if it be possible. The Sheriff and his family have made complaint that the aattia id ohi potion able and a nuisance. We desire to commend the efforts of oar county authorities to establish a bridge across the Saluda river. We again call attention to the Supervisor, the need of water-closets in thecoUrt house. We ask our members of the Legislature to increasb the pay of the expert for the grand jury, it being inadequate for the importance and amount of work done. We have eleoted John Bell Towill, L. Bennett Frick and J. C. Reynolds as a committee to investigate the county offices, chain gang and poor house, to make its report at our next session. We have elected Barrett Jones to assist us in our investigation. We respectfully ask our members of the General Assembly to make an effort to have the pay for witnesses raised to one dollar per diem and milage at six cents. We have examined and reported on all bills and matters given us and returned them with our findings. We desire to return our thanks to His Honor and all courfc officers for their kindness and co'urtesies^shown. Respectfully submitted, . JOHN BELL TOWILL, v ' ^ Foreman. , An Insidious Danger.

To Create New Circuit. . i A bill was introduced in the lower Louse last week 'Which purports to create a new court circuit by placing Richland and Lexington in a circuit by themselves. It is claimed by those who fayor the bill that it will go a long way toward relieving the congested court dockets of the State, especially in these two counties.

Upshaw, known as "Earnest Willie" of Atlanta, Ga., was among the speakers at both places. The Old, Old ^crld. This old, old world is a dreary place For the man whose pass is a frowning i face: Who looks for the shadows instead of the light; For the sordid and dull instead of the bright; Who sees but the worry and labor and strife Instead of the glory and sunshine of life. This old, old world is a sad abode For the man who travels along life's road With never a lauali and never a sontt To lighten the toil as he goes along: With never a smile or a word of cheer To shorten the way for his fellows here. But for him who possesses the saving grace Of laughimg heart and smiling face, Who sings at his work and laughs at defeat, -And looks for the good and the bright and the sweet; Who cheers on his fellows by word and by deed, This world is a pleasant place indeed. Emil Carl Aurin. Ml * JJ9&TA OX AT. W. W. dpiTOB. Mr. Wm. Wesley Spires, son of W. H. Spires, died Nov. 17, 1907, was born April 4,1837, making his stay on earth 70 years, 7 mobths and 13 days.

A Young Married "Woman Victim of Jealousy. Christianburg, Ya.?Mrs. Sidney Jones, aged 19, was shot and killed at her home in Cambria by Frank Cart-' hon, aged 20, whose suit she had rejected to marry Jones. Her husband who is employed by the'Norfolk and Western railroad, was at work, and Carthon found Mrs. Jones alone in the kitchen. He shot her three times with a pistol, one bullet taking effect in the center of her forehead, one in her breast, and one in her neck. Any one of the wounds would have been fatal. After the shooting Carthon came to Christianburg and surrendered to the authorities, telling them that, he had planned the death of the girl for a year, and asked that he be protected, j as he feared her husband and relatives would kill him. While Carthon fears lynching there is not at present any indication of mob violence. i f It Does The Business. Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Maine, says of Bncklen's Arnica Salve. "It does the business; I have used it for piles and it cured them. Used it for chapped hands and it cured them. Applied it to an old sore and it healed it without leaving a scar behind." 25c. at Kanfmann Drug Co. and Derrick's Drug Store. I Man Silled "by Woman in New York Restaurant.

She died a few minutes after reaching that institution. The woman was identified as May ' Roberts Clarke, of No. 214 "Vyest 133rd street. No reason can at present be giv*en for the tragedy. Bravo Woman Bold Burglar. At Waterbury, Connecticut, Mrs. Lizzie Wolf, a frail woman, wife of Adrian F. Wolf, superintendent of the tool room in the Scoville company's works, held up a fiat thief in their home on Ridge street a few night's ago, made him disgorge, and then with a revolver, held him cowed in a corner until the police arrived, eighteen minutes later.
