Presentment of Grand Jury.

To His Honor, d. A. Townsend, Pre-
siding Judge.
We, the Grand Jury for Union county
fT January term Of court, 1904, beg
to submit the following report:
We have examined and passed en- all
bills handed US by the Solicitor.
We have examined by sub committee
the offices of the county officials and
find them in apparent good condition.
We have visited the Jail and chain
gang quarters and find each in salts
factory condition.
at the Poor House we find things
neatly kept and the inmates satisfied.
but insist that the barn be built at once.
that the Superintendent's house be
painted and that the floors in some of
the houses be repaired.
We recommend that electric lights be
put in the Clerks, Probate Judges and
Sheriff's office and In the Jail.
That sewerage be put In the jail and
that public closets be put in or at rear of
Court House for the use of the people.
The present arrangement is simply dis
graceful.
There are several books In Clerks
and Probate Judges Office that need
reindexing and rebinding and unless Il
is done soon such damage will be sus.
tanned that money cannot replace.
The Sheriff asks that he be furnished
with two blood hounds and We feel sat
isfed that his request should be granted,
We cannot too strongly recommend
and urge the suggestion of your Honor
In regard to a new Temple Of Justice.
We know of no Circuit Judge in South
Carolina more thoroughly capable of
KNOWING and appreciating tho lamenta-
bic conditions our people are subjected
to in being forced to attend to their of.
ficial duties In structure as we now
have.
The present Court House, according
to the date over Its portals, must have
been In It's day magnificent structure
but Its three score years and ten have
passed and conditions are not even simi.
lar to what they were then. We an
proud to. state that fewer counties IN
South Carolina have responded more

than our own, where but a few years
ago broom sage and scrub pines flourish

oA o"h, "hCAC uuI' d low years
ago broom sage and scrub pines flourish
ed, are now scenes of industrial wealth,
producing hives Of industry and we
think as your Honor suggested such u
county should be adorned at the county
seat by Temple Of Justice with archi-
t. ct' RAJ beauty and sanitary comforts in
keeping with the spirit of the times.
Our county officials should all be domi-
ciled under the same roof, and while we
are urging the new Court House we,
with equal fervency, advocate a modern
Jail, and we join you in recommending
and urging those in authority to take i'm
mediate steps toward securing these de-
sired improvements.
We wish to enter our most vigorous
protest to levy of four mills for inter.
est and retiring the Spartanburg and
Asheville railroad bonds. The state of
affairs Is about as follows: The county
has about 500, 900 bonds outstanding, of
this amount Cherokee county is liable
for $4,000. leaving balance for our
county Of $4,000.
The sinking fund so wisely created
some years ago has accumulated some
$5O, 600 which is leaned out at the same
rate Of interest as is borne by the bonds.
thus offsetting that amount and leaving
practically only $s0, 600 to be taken care
OF by the levy. The bonds cannot be
retired until 1915 unless bought up at a
high premium, and as the sinking fund
Is producing the same amount of interest
as the same amount Of bonds bear, we
think it good arrangement, but cannot
understand why those in authority
should continue to pile up q surplus
when 1t is wholly unnecessary. If the
levy is kept up for two or three years
longer the sinking fund will amount to
more than the bonds and as one mill
together with the interest from the
sinking fund will raise enough to pay all
interest charges and create sinking
fund to more than equal the amount of
the bonded debt before 1t is due, we
urgently recommend that the already
heavily burdened taxpayers be rel ieyed
OF three of these four mill taxes. We
see no reason why the people should be
taxed to accumulate sinking fund
larger than the bonded debt for which
this sinking fund was created to paw.
ten years before said bohded debt falls
due.
We extend our thanks to our learned
Solicitor for his patience and advice, the
other court officialsfsr their promps dis
patch of business, and wish to thank
your Honor for your wise counsel and
tne many courtesies shown us during
this term OF court and we feel that the
time Is not inopportuue in congratulate

SUPERVISORS REPORT.

To the Honorable Grand Jury of Union
County. Gentlemen:
beg to submit my report as to con-
dition Of county affairs:
PUBLIC ROADS.
The public roads of the county are in
splendid conditions as whole, consider
Ing amount Of money expended on them
per mile. We have more than 500 miles
of roads, and have tried to keep them in
as good condition as the limited amount
of funds would admit.
BRIDGES.
Bridges are in very good shape. Have
recently built two costly bridges, at an.
expense of between $1,000 and 81 900.
Gist and Cedar Bluff on Tiger river, are
the ones above mentioned. We also
have an excellent bridge at Harris, On
Fair Forest creek, extending from hill
to hill, with 75 feet main span of steel
Lost two large bridges on Tiger river
and two large joint bridges on Pacolet
river last year, as result of the extra
ordinary high waters, one of which had
only been completed few weeks before
the flood.
POOR HOUSE AND FARM.
The inmates of our county home a,e
being well cared for by our most excell-
ent superintendent, Mr.. j. F. Belue.
They are all for the most part satisfied
with their treatment. They are well fed
and clothed, and are provided with pro-
per medical attention. We will build a
barn and stables at Poor House soon, as
recommended by former grand jury.
Would have built sooner but did not on
account of having heavy bridge debts to
carry. We are aiding at present quite a
number Of Confederate soldiers in des-
titute circumstances, as required by law.
Upon the whole, We have done the best
we could. Respectfully,
L. j. BETENBAUaH.

Antiquity of Masks.

Masks are Of very ancient origin. In
a tomb 5000 years old at Mycena DR..
Schliemann found two bodies with
faces covered by masks of gold. One
Of the masks represented the head of
a lion. Among ancient Greeks the lion
mask was sign of distinction. With
the Peruvians of old 1t was mark Of
royal lineage. In n grave of consid.
cradle antiquity in Peru a silver mask
was found on the head Of a mummy.
The mummy Of prince who lived in
the reign of Rameses H., discovered In
small vault at Memphis, in Egypt,
had mask Of gold leaf over the face.

Reduction of Taxes,

We call special ttention to the Grand
Jury's presentment as one of vital i'm
portance to our people. The recon-
mendations in this presentment should
be he eded and, if in the bounds of posi-
bility, fully carried out. Their reason.
ing In reference to the sinking fund is
plain, logical and practical, as matter
Of fnanciering, convincing, and we
think reduction of taxes can be reach
ed by following their recommendations
The levy for UnioH Township is 21
mills. outher townships not having
special school tax is three mills less. If
the 3. R. levy should b reduced 3 mills
the levy of course would then be 1s mills.
This could be done without endangering
the credit of the county. We attach no
blame to anyone, but feel that diff erent
fiDancial arrangement might be made to
the great relief Of tax burdened people.

The Charm of Neatness.

There is an exquisite charm about neatly
dressed woman. She does not wear her
hair twisted up carelessly as if just about
to fall over her shoulders. Her gloves are
not ripped at the seams, nor are any but
tons missing from her boots. Her veil does
not reveal a hole over her chin, nor does
the binding of her skirt show ragged in
places.
Not many women show their tidiness in
all these little details but it is a pleasure
to meet the girl or woman who is, to use a
slang term, well groomed. The cloth
gown of such a woman fits her without a
crease, and there is neither speck nor spot
on it. Her linen collar and cuffs are snowy
white and remain properly fixed in their
places. Her gloves do not wrinkle, but but
ton smoothly over her wrists. Her shoes
are kept clean and polished Her bonnet
or hat is pinned on straight and her hair
Is neatness itself. She is the picture of
delicate finish and wholesome order Would
that we could come across her somewhat

tional lack of logic. came out in an amusing
fashion at a recent dinner party in Brook
Ign.
In the course of the evening the CONVEX
sation drifted around to those odd little
mathematical bits of the ow-old-is-Ann
variety, when one of the company, with ex-
plantations that the next problem would not
be a very difficult one, questioned as fol-
lows:
'If a bottle and cork together cost
81. 10, and the bottle cost dollar more than
the cork, how much did the cork cost?'
Almost instantly one of the ladies was
ready with the answer:
why, the cork cost five cents and the
bottle $1O5. That's too easy.
The lady's husband. familiar through
years of experience with her woeful lack
of skill in figures, looked up in astonish-
ment.
Heavens he exclaimed How did you
come to get that so soon?'
'Why, my DEAR was the reply. "cor1s
always cost five cents. don't they?'
