Childrens' Aid society of New York
city in few days. These boys will

year others will be sent. As has
been stated, these boys are not in

an age of discretion has been reach
ed, when they are sent out to make
their own livings. They are under
the supervision of the State for two
years. Anyone wishing to secure
some of these boys as laborers, farm

Selling Seed Cotton.

The attorney general is receiving
large number of inquiries as to
the law in selling seed cotton. This
matter is governed by each county
and many of the counties impose a
license of $500 60 as to discourage
the business. There is a general
State law forbidding the sale between
sunset and sunrise which was passed
to prevent the stealing Of seed cotton
by laborers and selling it to mer'
chants of shady character. The

information are referred to the

in my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture, but the

Presentmezt Of the Grand Jury

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
COUNTY OF LEXINGTON
Court of General Sessions.
To the Honorable Grand Jury OF the
county and State aforesaid:
We, the undersigned special COM
mittee, appointed by your body to
examine the public Offices OF the
county, report as follows:
That, with the assistance of the
expert of your selection, We made an
examination Of sll the public Offices
of the county and found them we'll
kept. the records properly cared for
and have no recommendations to
make in regard to any of them. We
found all of the officials courteous
and obliging and seemed to have the
business of their respective Offices
we'll in hand.
From the examination made, we
ind thet each official had sufficient
funds in bank to meet the obligations
of his cffce.
We find the dispensary system OF
this county to be under good manage
ment and the books of account as
kept by MIR. R l.. Keisler to be cor
rect in every respect and above crlti-
cism.
We have examined the improve
ments placed in the Clerks cffice by
the County Commissioners, are highly
pleased with the same, and consider
that the money for the same was we'll
spent and in the end will be great
saving to the county. =,
At the time Of our examination the
county was free of debt and it will
oaly be necessary to contract a short
loan to meet the demands from now
| until the taxes for the present year
are collected. We are informed that
the levy for this year has been made
sufficiently high to put the county on
an absolutely cash basis for another
year, and We desire to commend the
| Commissioner and the members Of
the General Assembly from this
county for SO doing.
