After hts death his brother presented it to Pope Gregory XII. To carry it into execution the Pope summoned prelates and learned men. Papal Brief In 138*. In 1577 tho proposed change was adopted by all the Catholic princes, and In 1582 the Pontiff Issued a brief abolishing thc Julian calendar in all Catholic countries and Introducing in Its stead tho Gregorian or reformed calendar. The amendment was ordered thus: Ten days were to be dropped after October 4, 1582. and the 15th was to r-3 reckoned Immediately after the 4th. Every hundredth year, which, by the old style was to have been a leap yeer, was ? now to be a common year, the 4th excepted; that ls 1600 was to remain a leap year,' but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were to be o? common length, end 2000'to be e> leap year ?gain.

In 8paln, Portugal, and tba greater portion of Italy1 the amendment 'was introduced, according to the 'Pope's instr- ctlone. Itt Prance thc ten day* wert dropped in December, the 10th being called the 20th. In Catholic switzerland, Germany and the Nether lands the change was Introduced In the following yeer: In Poland in 1568 and in Hungary in 1587. Protestant Germany, . Holland and Denmark ac cepted lt in 1700 and Switzerland In. 1701. In England the Gregorian calen dar was adopted In 1752. Difference ef Thirteen Days.

GREENVILLE, Jan. 6.-Greenville county voters will soon have another opportunity to say whether or not they prefer to have a new court boase or to maintain the old structure, which for yeera has been the object of all manner of denunciation. Grand Jury after grand Jory has inveighed against the building, and several times the judges have taken occasion, to sdd to the remarks of the grand Jury, lt was decided et a meeting of the county executive committee held Monday morning to let the voters es press their choice In this matter on January lt, when they will also vote for e master in equity. The committee met to^ consider the calling of e primary lu order that a master in equity might be nominated.

Many local appointments arc lo bo made during tho coming session of the legislature, and members of tho Anderdon County delegation say that the number of men applying for the various jobs is large enough to turn the tide of battle in the European war If all the applicants could be mustered into service and would dis play the same aggressiveness they are showing In charging the plc counter. Hard' times und a change of administration may have' something to do with tho unusual number of hp- ' y lie inti,, but,- whatever the caus?, | there has been no backwardness in approaching the delegation. How Appointments Are Made. The Anderson Countv delegation will follow the custom that bas al ways prevailed throughout the State In recommending appointments. A meeting will be held in Columbia, probably between the convening of tho gonoral assembly and the first of February, when all applications will be taken up and put to a vote of tho members. In the case of certain ap pointments, such as magistrates, the appointees will have to be confirmed I by thu State senate, and the senator will thus have a little ' moro power than a member of the lower house In the event he decides to exercise lt. It is understood that 'Senator Sherard will follow the custom that has al ways prevailed in the county and I over the State of permitting the mem I bera of the house fd share equally with h'lm In passing upon, recom mendations.

There ls no special act 1er Anderson County authorising or requiring these ap pointments, and tbs governor finds authority to make team under Ute general provisions ot the C*rey?Coth? ran act.

Constables are subject to suspension or removal by the governor for causo. The salary now paid the two coun ty constables or detectives, W. B. Drennan and J. W.
