To the Hon. S. W. G. Shipp, Presiding Judge, November term 1908, we desire to make this, our last presentment: The special committee appointed by our body has examined as carefully as we could, all the offices of the County officials and we find them in a ' most satisfactory condition. The affairs of the County are being conducted in a business like manner, and the people t of the County are to be congratulated upon the services of such efficient officials. The poor house has been inspected and found well kept. The unfortunate poor of our County are well provided for. We have also made a personal in- i spection of the County Chain gang, j We have no criticism of the work of j the gang, but recommend that the i Supervisor furnish rubber blankets for j the mules belonging to the gang. They j are entirely too valuable to be left j out in the winter weather, it being I well recognized that all stock should have protection, particularly in bad j weather. We further recommend that the County Supervisor have a tent provided with a cooking stove for the gang, as the present arrangements are not at all satisfactory, or should be maina Prm-nttf. nnrtfenlarlv in | I/Uiutu UJ u , J. ^ th<^conditioii that ours is. We further recommend that our incoming County Commissioners contract with the State officials for more convicts, as the same guard force and road machinery now on hand could do a great er amount and more satisfactory work, and we feel satisfied that no improvement is more needed or more desired than permanent road improvement, as our County has reached the stage where they not only need but demand better public highways. We further recommend that the different Magistrates have their Constables to serve their own subpoenas, and that the Sheriff return all papers required by law to be served by such Constables, to them for service by them. The Constable gets a salary for this, and when the Sheriff makes the service, he also draws additional pay therefor, so that the County is paying twice for the same service. We further recommend that bunks be provided in the jail, for the prisoners. We further recommend that the Commissioners have erected fire proof vaults for the Treasurer and Auditor's offices, and ask that our repeated recommendations as to this matter, D6 given at least aecent uuu?iucx<i.Liuij. We present Paul Kyzerfor closing a public highway and name as witnesses N. E. Rish, G. E. Rish, R. W. Gunter, J. K. Day, S. C. Gantt. We present Mrs. L. B.

All of which is respectfully submitted. John Bell Towill, Foreman. Civil Court. The civil court opened Monday morning. The first case taken up was that of H. D. Nelson, formerly a freight conductor, against the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad. Capt. "Billie" Childs, the president of the road, was a leading witness. It developed during his cross-examination by Col. Graham, one of the plaintiff's attorneys, that he went from the plow handles to the presidency of the road; that he has run an engine over the road, and that he has walked evefy inch of the track. He , very nicely referred to Tom Stoudemire. his section foreman at Chapin, I as a Lexington boy continuously in I charge of the track there. Besides | running the statutory required pas| senger trains over the road, that he | had put on an additional train, which | was his 1 'Dutch Fork Special." Capt. ! Childs made an interesting witness at ! every turn. When asked his occupa! tion lie said he was a farmer, but run | a bank and railroad as a "side line." I The case will be concluded to-day. Mr. W. P. Roof, the prominent merchant, banker and mill man is foreman of the jury. A Duels Fell Dead. A prominent visitor from the Fork tells a rather strange but interesting story. About ten days ago on a fair morning about sun rise, so the story goes, several negroes were standing in front of the dispensary at Peak awaiting the arrival of the dispenser, when a large English duck came from the direction of the famous Broad, struck the dispensary and fell dead at the feet of the dispenser. Whether this is a warning of what the future will bringforfch the visitor was not able to say. W. D. Bates' Store. On the front page appears a big display ad for W. D. Bates of Columbia. This store is always attractive with bargains, but it is especially so just now. Every department is teeming with new and seasonable goods and the prices that prevail at this popular j store, appeal to the most economical buyers.

All the towns hens havs gone dry, and laying no egg, now that eggs are worth money. It i9 always the way with town hens. They are absurdly industrious and go around laying all sorts of plain and fancy eggs, when hen fruit is so plentiful that you can't give it away to a charity organization, but when the price goes up and eggs would be worth while, the fool critters spend their feathers. One set of feathers ought to last a hen a lifetime; just think of the time wasted every fall getting rid of old feathers and growing new ones, and nothing doing in I the egg department!
