Free is having some needed changes and repairs made in the court room. Heretofore two extra bailiffs have been needed on account of the location of the doors to the petit jury rooms. These have been changed, and now the doors are located where the judge can see them all the time a jury isr in the room. The Supervisor will move his office down stairs and the office formerly occupied by him will be used as the grand jury room. This puts all the juries on the second tloor, and the result will be that business can be dispatched more rapidly, as well as saving the expense of two bailiffs. The woodwork and plastering is being well done, and when finished will exactly match the finish of the court house. The plastering in different parts of the court house will also be repaired, as will the cement floors in the office of clerk of court and judge of probate. The clerk deserves the thanks of the taxpayers for his good work. ived one 1 LOAD of Road Tax Payments. The following have paid their road tax since our last report: (Mom's bridge road?Nelson Rice.

We understand there is some hitch over ( ;he office of supervisor of registration, j Our readers will remember that some , weeks ago we published the fact that Mr. N". P. Smoak had been appointed as a member of the board to take the place of t Mr. Carl W. Rowell, who had left the ( county. It now appears that Mr. Rowell's absence was only temporary, and he in- , Lends to hold on", as his commission is for two years and does not expire until next January some time. He was present the j tirst Monday in March when the board met,and will be here next Monday to serve t as a member. In the meantime Mr. Smoak has received his commission and has qualified as a member of the board. It is i probable that both men will be ready to serve Monday, and what will be done about the matter is not known at this ( time. Certain it is that both men cannot ] serve, and the question is, which one will give way. We understand that Mr. Smoak . was not an applicant for the position, and was placed on the board, because the mag- J istracy of Fishpond township, which he ! held, was abolished at the late session of ' the general assembly. Our information is that Mr. Rowell was displaced only for the reason that our legislative delegation were under the impression that he had left the county. a yaluabliTmediline. For Conghs and Colds in Children. "I have not the slightest hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain'sCoughRemedy to all who are suffering from coughs or colds," says-Chas. M. Cramer, Esq., a well-known watchmaker, of Colombo, Ceylon. "It has been some two years since the City Dispensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and I have repeatedly used it and it has always been beneficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarseness. I have persuaded many to try t his valuable medicine, and they are all as well pleased as myself over the results." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. FINE I Is the Board Illegal? Editor The Bamberg Herrald:?I have understood that the county board of commissioners as now organized, is an illegal body, for the reason that one of its members, viz: Mr. T. J. Rentz, who represents Midway township, is not a free holder, and my information is that to be eligible to said position one must own real estate. I also believe that during the past few months he has not resided in Midway township, but lives in Fishpond township. Kindly inform the public through your paper whether these statements are correct or not. Voter. [The editor will state that he has examined the records and does not find that Mr. Rentz owns an}* real estate. If he does, we have not been able to find a record of it. Our information is that he lives on rented laud. The Revised Statutes lay down the law governing county boards of commissioners, and there it is required that to be eligible as a member of the board a man must be a "freeholder." The law may have been changed since these Statutes, but of this we cannot say. We have been told that Commissioner Rentz now lives in Fishpond township.? Ed. Herald.] Branehville Brevities.

Dots from Clear Pond. Clear Pond, March 31?The people of r this section have about finished planting corn, and some have commenced to plant i cotton. The farmers all around are making great efforts, in the hope of making a ! good crop this year. The Clear Pond picnic, or Good Friday picnic as it is called, came off all right. Nourishment, both in the form of victuals and liquor, was plentiful. Some enjoy the former, some the latter; most of the young men the latter, and some of the old ones, too.

Woman: Strengt h of Character a Yital Requisite. The editor of the Boston Journal some days since devoted near a whole column to a rebuke given the young men of that city, for carrying girls at a late hour from the ball room to a street car and leaving them to get home the best way they could. He asks: "Who are these unspeakable cads who pass for gentlemen:'" finishing the rebuke in withering denunciations. So far so good, but his honor stopped too soon. The opportunity to rebuke the girls, who suffered themselves, time and again, so grossl}' slighted by their escorts was equally as golden, as was that to the men. Any woman who will be passive iu a man's power; who will accept any treatment he sees fit to deal out to her, deserves slights. Man is a keen reader of woman kind, he sizes her up in a short time and treats her as she requires him to. I am amazed at the credulity of some of my sex, they seem utterly blind and deaf to the cunning devices of so-called lovers and compromise womanly dignity ?womanly virtue?because "Mr. Smith says nothing but a kiss will establish his confidence in me"?bah! That story must have been invented when old Adam courted fair Eve in the garden of paradise, for every man, old, young, little and big tells it to his "Mary," hoping thereby to reach the lips he knows he has no ri&ht to touch; encircle a form his arms ncces sarily will pollute. Love is a god-given blessing to man and woman, it softens, enhances, awakens the best impulses in our natures, and should, under propitious circumstances and when two souls are congenial, culminate in marriage. But, because a woman pledges herself, at some future day, to become a wife, should she yield to her lover privileges that compromise her? I may be a fanatic on the subject, but I hold my views, as a privilege granted every free born American citizen. It is natural for the sexes to desire each other's society, a true gentleman appreciates the companionship of a noble woman and vice versa, but are there not limits beyond which lie should dare not go? Mothers have a grave responsibility, they neglect too often to prescribe a given hour for their daughters to retire; the)' fail too often to know who the gentleman is that visits their home and what his intention is, in frequenting said homes. The mother should be the guide to pilot her daughter over the volcanic ground, to show and warn her against dangers that youthful eyes fail to discover. Lastly: Girls, grade yourselves high, maintain the self-estimate by a dignity and courteous respect shown gentlemen, that they dare not underrate.
