The State of South Carolina, County of Union. To His Honor, James Aldrich, Presiding Judge: We, the grand jury of Union county, beg leave to submit this, our report for January term. We have carefully examined and passed upon all bills handed us by the solicitor and have made our presentment on each according as we thought the evidence warranted. We have by committees visited county parish, chain gang and jail, and found each in good condition. We recommend that three steel cages be placed in the jail for the better security of the more desperate criminals, and also for the protection of the jailer. We have carefully considered Your Honor's charge as to the county need of a new court house. We think, on account of the present financial condition of the county, it would be better that the present court house be extended some twenty-five feet in rear of court house, to be used as offices for treasurer, auditor and supervisor. This would also extend the court room twenty-five feet. We extend to His Honor, also the solicitor and other officers of the court, our thanks for their counsel and courtesies shown us during the term of court. Respectfuly submitted, P. H. Jeter, Foreman.

"Wanted?a Barber, who has never 1 had his hair cut. Apply at the barber shop on the corner." Or this? v I "Wanted?A Salesman in a shoe store. He must go barefoot while on duty. Apply at Black's Shoe store." What other business finds it necessary or desirable to advertise for help pledged to make no use of the goods sold?

Lancaster I News. j Governor Ansel also spoke upon other subjects of more or less degree of importance, but he did not touch the question of increased salaries for State _ officers, which retiring Governor Heyward so urgently proposed in his las' message. The small salaries the State pays its officials are almost a disgrace. There was a time when the present salaries were sufficient, perhaps; but that time is not now. The business of the offices has greatly increased as the State has become more populous and wealthy. d nrTTJil rt I I MUUU S DMUS I rolt I FALL SOWING.
