 Five minutes past the hour-ten. The girl was desperate. Could she hold them another moment. All the pretty color had faded from her cheeks, but she talked on.
 Suddenly there was the thud of hoofs, whirl of dust, and another carriage flashed up. Out jumped very travel worn young man, who hurried into ,ooth where his factor had all creden- Sials ready and deposited his thirty seventh and last vote. If the election Judges realized that 1t was past the iour for voting, they were too much taken by surprise to say anything.
 And then the duke turned to the girl She was still trembling, but she made brave attempt to smile as she said:
 Let me congratulate you on the ac- complishment of the impossible"
 The duke took her hand quite boldly.
 Thanks to you, Angela"
 And she did not deny him.

Saints Powder Recipe.

In Germany and Italy great honor is paid to St. Barbara, but until now no one has been able to discover the exact reason.
 A German officer says that she is honored because the invention of pow der is in large measure due to her.
 Berthold Schwarz, a monk, he ex- plains, opened the Lives of the Saints" on St Barbara's day and read the story of her martyrdom, after which he reasoned as follows:
 "The heart of the Virgin was white as salt, the soul of her tormentor was black as coal, and 1t was sulphur from heaven which punished him for his cruelty. will mix these three things, and it will be wonder If do not dis cover the philosophers stone"

Unless the water boiling be
 To pour on water spells the tea.
 The teapot itself should be heated very hot before the tea Is placed in 1t and the boiling water poured on. It should be scalding hot water, or the leaves will float to the top.
 No less authority than Tung Pc, the Chinese poet, Is quoted for recipe for teamaking. He says: Whenever tea Is to be infused, take water from run ming stream and boil 1t over a lively fire. It is an old custom to use running water, boiled over a lively fire. That from springs in the hills Is said to be best and river water the next, while well water Is the worst. A lively fire Is a clear, bright charcoal fire. When making an infusion, do not boil the wa ter too hastily. At first 1t begins to sparkle like crabs eyes, then somewhat like fish's eyes and lastly it boils up like pearls innumerable springing and waving about This Is the way to boil water"
 A teaspoonful of tea for two cups, with one for the pot, is the rule.

could ascertain to be in fairly good re-
pair. The public roads are in our opin-
ion as good as could be expected under
the present system of road working,
which we think very unsatisfactory.
We regret that the County Commits
sioners have not seen proper to follow
the recommendation Of former Grand
/ Juri6s in adopting what IS known as
the chain-gang system. We adopt the
alternative rood law Of 1901 and we be-
lieve our roads should be graded and
brought to a high standard of excel
Ience Good roads would greatly in
crease the value Of our lands, the
growth Of our population and prosperi-
ty Of all classes-e our people. To this
end, this body unanimously recon-
mend and respectfully urges our
County Commissioners to put our mis-
demeanor convicts at work upon the
public roads of the county under an
experienced road overseer or civil en-
gineer; that machinery and tools nee
essary for building and keeping i'm
proved roads be purchased and put in
operation at the earliest possible time.
We believe thas the expenditure neces-
sary for this purpose will be approved
by the citizens of the county and the
benefits accruing therefrom VIII be
inestimable.
We earnestly hope the Commission
ers will put this plan in operation i'm
mediately.
We recommend that the pay per
diem shall be the same for jurors and
bailiffs as heretofore have been paid,
So per day, "a for riding bailiffs.

GRAND JURY PREsENrMEN7 S

We, the Grand Jury for November
term, 1902 of Sumter Superior Court,
make the following general present
ments:
We have carefully investigated all
crimes brought to our attention aud
acted upon same, and into all the af-
fairs of the county as given in charge
by the Judge Wemake the following
report:
We find the books Of Treasurer J. z.
Sullivan correct and neatly kept. They
show up to November 18th inclusive
cash on hand $t,91410 and in the de-
funct Peoples Bank $50, 100000 We al
so find that the commissioners have
taken preliminary steps towards the
collection Of this latter amount from
the bondsmen Of J. E. Sullivan through
E. A. Hawkins, attorney.
We have not had time to fully ex-
anime the books Of j B. Dunn Tax
Collector, and recommend the appoint
ment of an auditor for this special
work, as it is impossible for us to give
the time and attention to this matter
which it deserves. So far as we could
ascertain the books are correct If re
could secure the services Of Mr.. w. h.
G. Dudley, we would advise that it be
done for we deem him fully competent
to ascertain if all property subject to
tax has been given in correctly and
fair valuations placed ON same We
find that the TaXCollector's books have
been examined thoroughly to Jan. LIST
1901 and reports make to the Grand
Jury of the November term 1901 and
since that time (Jan. 1st) no examina-
ton whatever has been made.
The Grand Jury of that term ap-
pointed Messrs. w. M. Jones and Lott
Warren for this special work but on
account of the absence of one from the
city and sickness Of the other the re.
port was not made
We find the following parties who
are due the county professional tax:
G. W. Barrow,
L. J. Blalock,
G. S. Cobb,
