An Excellent Company.

To the Anderson Mutual Fire and Life
Insurance CO., Anderson, S. c.:
DEAR SIRs: We wish to thank you
for.your pr0mptncss III settling voul
proportinate share OF the loss which we
recently sustained by fire in the cellar
of our store.
We took out policy No. 12 i'll your
company Oct. 6, 1886, for $4,000, which
has cost us, including annual dues, first
and second assessments, $50. A policy
in an old line company would have cost
us for years S9S. We carry policies in
several old line companies, and that is
what we pay. This second assessment.
which you are now collecting, and
which is included i'll this cost of $50,
carries us until the third. assessment,
whenever that islcvied. About twenty
months elapsed between the first and
second assessments. We do not know
how long it will be before the third as
scssment is levied, but this $50 carries
us Until it is levied except the small
amount we will pay in Oct. 1899 us an
nual dues. Our experience i'll your
company has been perfectly satisfactory
and we wish your rules would allow us
to carry more insurance with you. We
commend the company to people want
ing insurance at cost.
Very respectfully,
EVANS PHARMACY.

da, a native of Anderson County, has
written an, interesting letter to Col. j.
II. Thomas, the State hist torian, IN re-
gard to company in. the COnfed derate
zrHay, whose members were from this
State, but which belonged to aVir-
ginia regiment. This company had an
unusual history. the members Origi-
nasIy belonged to different companies
sof The Fourth South Carolina, and
after its disbandm in the spring of
1863 they were scattered far and wide,
hut soon formed a company for service
IN Southwest Virginia, where they
joined Dunn's battalion, afterwards the
:Ss7Sf "a. cavalry, If we mistake not.
Nr. Hammond thinks that Mr.. James
A. Griffin, of PIckens, was the senior
officer of the company at the surrender
in 1856, and we give herewith his letter

presentment of the Grand Jury.

TIC the Honorable j. c. Klugh, Presiding
Judge.
The Grand Jury submits the following
Presentment:
In addition to passing on all the bills
handed to us by the Solicitor, we have
examined into some matters which were
called to our attention.
Having been informed that the act OF
the General Assembly which requires all
county officers to keep an itemized state
ment of the fees and costs received by
them and to make report thereof each
year to the County Supervisor OF the
county, had not been obeYed or observed,
we made inquiry and examination OF the
different county officers. We found that
some of the county officers had not COM
piled with the law; Only two had made
their reports to the County Supervisor,
but all had kept book containing a
statement of the moneys received and
from what sources, as required by the
act. We recommend that the county Of
officers in the future comply fully with
the law by making at the end of each
wear the report to the County Supervisor
as required, to be by bin entered on a
book to be kept in his Office for that pur-
pose and for public inspection.
Having had frequent inquiries as to
the cost, per capita, of keeping and main
tanning the county's poor at the Poor
House, we appointeda a committee to as
certain this fact, who reported that they
had examined the books and records OF
the County Supervisors Office, and after
obtaining all the information at hand, in
Guiding the information as to the crops
raised on the farm at the Poor House,
gave statement of the cost OF maintain
ing the poor, which we herewith submit
for the information of the public, which
statement the Grand Jury unanimously
agreed, showed that the finances con.
nected with the Poor House were well
managed and the money of the county
used for the support of the poor was
economically expended.

The above statement of expense in
cludes all expenses, including medical
attention, medicine, Stewards salary,
food and clothing, all extra labor on
farm and other farm expenses and burial
of paupers, some 6f whom were not in
mates of the Poor House.
a committee of our number visited the
Poor House during the term of the Court
and report that they found the paupers
we'll cared for. They were especially
pleased to note that the Steward had inn
proved the farm and that he had made
good crops this year. In consequence of
the large crops raised, and especially for
age, it has been made necessary for the
County to build another barn, which is
now nearly completed. This barnis snf-
fciently large to accommodate not only
the stock on the farm, but the mules of
the County used in working the public
roads, which the County Board of Com
missioners have decided to winter there,
and which can be done at small cost to
the County.
The Grand Jury desire to say that in
discharging their duties during the year
that they have found all of the county
officers not only willing to have full in
yestigation of their Offices, but that they
have invited the fullest investigation,
and they say that they invite not only
the members Of the Grand Jury, but any
citizen of the county to examine the
records of their respective Offices at any
time.
In conclusion, we return our thanks to
the Presiding Judge, the Solicitor and
other officers of the Court for coartesies
received during the term.
Respectfully submitted,
