I made a resolve then that I would
make It possible to repla?a u broken

the same day the order was left with
me,
I have succeeded even better than
I hoped, for new we are able to re
place any broken lens, even where
you do not give us the prescription,
in from one to three- hours, with an

legislullou to lengthen the term of of
fice and 1 jcrease the salary of the
superintendent was recommended.

court of general sessions.
The report of the grand Jury In full
Is as follows:
To His Honor Frank B. Gary, Presid
ing Judge of tho Court of General
Sessions for Anderson County: *
We have passed on all bills of In
dictment handed to us at this term

Wo think the time hns come when
the State of South Carolina should

glad that some action along this line
'Is now being taken by the genernl as
sembly. And wo desire to go on rec
ord as favoring the passage of the

Anderson County to use their votes

fact tbht the term of the county su
perintendent of education now ends

In the midst of the school year, which
ends on the 13th day of June each
year.' We think tho period of the be
ginning and the ending of the term
of tho offlco of the superintendent of
education should bo at the same time
of year ns the school term, and, there
fore, recommend that tho proper leg
islation be enacted so as to make this
possible. Wo further recommend that

tended until June 30th. 1017. and then
a new term to begin and from there
after the. term of office to be made
four years instead of two as it now Is.
We further recommend that the
county superintendent of education be
paid the sum of $1,500 per annum for
his services. In lieu of $900, the pres
ent salary.
