1t took the board of county commits
sioners nearly two days to. complete the
work of preparing the jury boxes for the

time for other business. An adjournment

of more or less pressing importance will

Gentlemen of the Jury. r
The preparation of the jury is little
different operation from what 1t has been
previously. Under the old law, the
boxes were prepared by the auditor and
treasurer, and as to what names went in
them was a matter for the discretion OF
those officials. Now, however, the lists
are prepared by the boards of township
commissioners, and no names are put in
the boxes except those Of qualified voters
The general box must contain 396 names
and the seven mile box l50.
Executors and Administrators.
In another column, Judge McCorkle
publishes some information that has quite
twang of interest to good many people
1t is for the special benefit of those indi-
viduals in this county who are now serv-
ing as executors or administrators. The
law provides that if these officers fail to
make return to the Judge of probate dur
ing the months of January and February,
they will be deprived of their commits
sions. AS a good many executors and
administrators have no doubt forgotten
about the matter, the judges notice is, to
say the least, timely.
The Federal Patronage.
Columbia Register: "News comes from
Washington that prominent Republican
member of congress, who is very near
to Mckinley, was asked what would
be the presidents policy as to the distri'
button of spoils. The reply was that the
nominee OF the Republican party in each
congressional district, whether elected to
congress or not, would be recognized. He
was then asked, What about South Car
olina, where there exist two Republican
parties?' The reply was that the decision
of the congressional executive committee
as to who was the regular nominee In
each district would be accepted" If
this information is correct, as very likely
it is, the patronage Of this district will be
under the control of Major John F.
Jones. He was the nominee of both Re-
publican factions.
A Message In Page.
The Ganson Dry Goods company has
great message to the public today. and as
may be seen without the use Of a magni-
flying glass, it takes whole page of The
ENQUIRER to tell its story. And to bar
gain hunters, that is very readable page.
1t tells of the slashing of prices on scale
that has seldom, if ever, before occurred
in this section, and it is not likely that
buyers will be slow to take advantage of
the circumstance. The ENQUIRER wish
es also to have word to say for itself.
Though it gives us special pleasure to
send out commercial message like this,
we have preferred not to do it at the ex-
pense of our reading matter to any greater
extent than is absolutely necessary, and
for that reason, while our Saturday edi-
ton usually consists Of only "A columns,
we have seen fit today to enlarge the
number to %. Whatever benefits there
are in this big message, therefore, are
given almost entirely in addition to our
regular service.
