10 Hon. B. G. PRESLEY, Judge Presiding IN The
| EighM judicial Circuit.
| Tho Grand Jury, in the Discharge Of thoir
duty, beg leave respectfully 10 present:
]. That they have examined tho various
public Offices Of the County and find them neatly
kept.
2. That the County Jail is neatly kept and
the prisoners well cared for, but that the fastcn-
| ings Of The inner doors of the dungeons are
insecure and should be stronger. That plank
| in The wall Of tho dungeon which has been cut
out and removed should be replaced, and suggest
tEat iron bars be put across the windows over
| the entrance.
8. That they have visited The County Poor
| House by II committee of their body and find
| the same well provided for, the Steward is in
dustrious and ollicicnt and his wife Lind and
well suited 10 the position of maron.
4. That few of the Trial Justices Of the
| County presented their books for inspection,
and We find nothing Irregular or requiring the
| attention of the Court
| 8. That the public roads throughout the
County arc generally in olcrablo good condition,
| except the public road from Rock Springs
Church to the Eluc Ridge Railroad, in the
direction of Seneca City, which is reported TO
be in bad condition and needing repairs and
widening, and that many of the public roads in
| the County need 10 be made wider, and that the
public road leading from Seneca City 10 Old
pickcns is obsruolcd by telegraph poles, being
planted i'll said road, which ought TO be removed.
| That Two gates across Tho public road leading
from Walhala to Toxaway are reported as being
in bad condition, and il is suggested that the
County Commissioners see 10 il that the parties
owning said gates keep them in good condition.
6. 1t being almost impossible TO prove and
punish The crime Of adultery, under the existing
inefficient laws, it is recommended that some
moro stringent measures be provided by The
Legislature TO suppress this growing evil in The
land.
Z. believing that tho practice Of vending or
offering for sale candies, cakes, fruits, beers,
elders, cigars, liquors, &C., at or near places
where religious services arc being held, to be
detrimental to public worship and very de-
moralizing it its effect il is recommended that
thc salc and barter of such articles be suppressed
by the local authorities. and if they have not
the power under tic present laws that the Ic-
gislaturc will enact such laws as will confer this
power oil such authorities.
We tender TO tho Honorable Judge presiding

THRIFT OF THE FREHcM WORKING CLASSES.
Tho most striking fact with regard to tho
French working classes is that nearly all are
possessed Of money. However little thoy
earn they sayo something. Thrift is their
great characteristic; in fact, il is said of tho
French operatives that they spcnd less in
proportion to their means than any in tho
world. Many keep their accunuations in an
old stocking sccrctcd in their houses, others
"A daily increasing nnmbcrinvest in vari~
Gus securities, tho most popular Investment
being the purchase Of land. Every Frcnchman,
when ho can, becomes the owner oftho house in
which no lives. OF course lie IL greatly aided
in this by tho French lgnl laws and laws of
Inheritance, which cut the whole country up
into small holdings. Savings banks with
government security, building clubs, sick
clubs and friendly societies arc also in favor;
but no money is tied up in trade unions.
