WHAT GRAND
JURYSUGGESTS.
Presentment to the Court
Last Week.
THE COUNTY HOME.
Does Newberry Claim
Laurens' Lands?
Believed that l'art of Laurens Is As
sessed for Taxation in Another
County.
To His Honor D. A. Townsend, Presid
ing Judge at tho January Term of
Court of General Sessions, A. D. 1004.
The Grand Jury beg to submit the
following as their final Presentment
for this Term:
1. Wo have passed on all Bills hand
ed us by tho Solicitor.
2. We recommend that the recom
mendations heretofore recommondod
hy the Grand Jury us the repairs in the
Offices of tho Auditor and Treasurer
be made as early as is convenient.
3. We recommend that the ceiling
in tho County Jail be repaired and
made more secure. Also, that a new
dining room be built. We also recom
mend that a new stable be built nearer
the Jail.
4. We recommend that the waste
pipe loading from the water spigot in
the Court House, be continued to a
more appropriate plaoe than where it
now empties.
6. We also recommend that repairs
be made in the Court Room, such as
re-plastering, putting in electric lights
and that now blinds be put on the win
dows of the Offices and other euch ro
pain as are necessary.
6. Tho attention of the Grand Jury
was called to a certain nrticle publish
ed in the Clinton Chronicle, Dec. 10;h,
1003, which contained an article writ
ten by Thomas C. Scott, of Clinton, in
which he exaggerated very much the
state of affairs existing at the County
Home. Our committee visited the
Home and report that the Houses are'
in very good repair and well furnished,
the inin seem cheerful and well
cared for. The Keeper, Miss Jane
Sturm:?, deserves much praise for her
management and other valuable ser
vices rendered tho County Homo.
7. It has beea reported to us that
certain lands lying in Laurens County
on the old Nlnotysix road, near tho
Newberry line, are being assessed in
Newberry County and tho taxes being
paid in said County. We recommend
that proper authorities investigate the
same and adjust the matter at onoe.
8i Our Committee visited the County
Offices and report the same neatly kept.
Also, bag leave to submit that we ex
amined the records, documents, etc., in
Clerk of Court's office and find them in
excellent condition and distributed in
their various proper plac2S.
In conclusion, we desire to thank
your Honor, the Solicitor and other
officers of the Court for various courte
sies shown us during this session.
Respectfully submitted,
L. Abercromme,
Foreman of the Grand Jury.
CATARRH.
Which usually commences with cold
la head, Hay Fever, rapidly infects the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
leads to graver complication', unless
Sroraptly attended to. We recommend
[tog's Sarsaparilla internally to purify
the blood, and direct treatment with
Dr. King's Catarrh Remedy (a douche
comos with eaoh bottle). It gains a
foothold from which it is bird to dis
lodge. With treatment of these two
medicines any ordinary case will yield
quickly?the very worst oases will be
greatly relieved. The price $1.00; three
for $2.50, and guaranteed. Sold by Lau
rens and Palmetto Drug Co.
WHY RENT?
When you can [own your own home
with the same money?
The Piedmont Havings and Invest
ment Company will enable you to do
this.
Instead of Paying Bent for years
and owning nothing at the end of the
term tho property is yours,
Meanwhile, you have had the home
from the first?with the motive to im
prove it.
Owning one's home does more to
make an independent man than any
thing else.
Aman with little or no property finds
It hard to borrow and build.
Huoh men this company provides
oredit for.
There are hundreds of working
men in this town paying rent on
houses that are not cosy and comforta
ble, they have no conveniences, that
?re not kept op and that are not Im
proving in value
Lots in Laurens are cheap. These
same men, with the rent money they
are paying, can all own homes fr?
whioh they will take pride and which
will grow more valuable esoh year.
The Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company is not a building and
loan association. Why? Beoau-e the
contract is certain and definite. The
borrower knows to a day when his
debt will be due. Moreover the rate of
interest is lower.

such is the Kingdom Heaven,
May our blessed Lord's spirit give
comfort to the bereaved parents and
send forth its light into their hearts

Did it Ever Occur to You
That it will take less money to hire a life insurance

will to leave them sufficient goods, chattels and real

Did it Ever Occur to You
That life insurance is non-taxable ; that you don't

you do on real estate?
Did it Ever Occur to You
That the State Life Insurance Company paid larger
