We are Informed by the County Treasurer that
in q plumber of instances the special road or COM
mutation tax was paid this year by boys between
the ages OF l6 and is years, before due knowledge
was had of the change In the law. Others who
were less prompt did not pay as the change 10 the

| pired. In order that justice may be dons to those

ing made to establish 9 dispepsary for the. sale OF
liquor at Pendleton within four miles Of Clemson
College, and as we are uncertain whether the es-
tablishment OF such dispensary would be legal,

best interests Of the college, we recommend that
the Solicitor be requested to examine the law on
he subject, and II the establishment Of such dis.
| pensary be illegal, that he take such legal steps as
may be necessary to prevent the same.
In conclusion we desire 20 tender our thanks to
| His Honor, the Presiding Judge, TO the Solicitor,
aud the various officers of the Court for the

have given usi the discharge Of our duties.
