Sunshine Shopping.

A clever hoasekeeper says it is her law
never to shop except on a sunny day. She

sunny day. She declares there is nothing

sun is absent There is a good deal in her
theory. Shopping on a gloomy day is a
good deal like writing a letter when in a
fit of the blues The sun comes out ones
mood changes and one regrets what one
has said and what one has bought.
In spite of this every one can see, II
just takes a rain to bring women out. When
the weather is the worst then the fair ones

it Is said to be faithful replica of the love

general observation among the people he

7. We do not allow the milk to
stand very long in the stable to absorb
fowl odors.

cream to be churned less than twelve
hours before churning. The cream is
ripened in one vessel which holds the
cream for a whole churning.

then dip it out of the buttermilk.

grease.

also excess interest on Jno. A. Harris
claim 1892 81. These matters are still
unadiusted. And as Mr.. Wilson in
cludes these amounts in his statement,
as a just charge against the Treasurer,
1 will leave this matter for you to de-
termine whether or not it can be COL
lected legally, as there is considerable
dispute regarding the validity OF this
claim.
Attached to this report, is a State
mcnt marked Schedule l, which is a
statement of the Treasurer's County
Tax Record, and gives the names,
dates and amounts of all vouchers
mi. sing, and difference in the amount
of vouchers found, which do not agree
with the amount paid. In referring
to the Supervisors Record, I find that
his Record in every instance agrees
with amounts shown on Treasurer
Tax Record, and the fact that in many
l. instances the amount of voucher
found not agreeing with the amour
shown as having been paid, is not SUI
cient evidence for the County to hold
the Treasurer responsible for these
differences, as it is probable that a
number of these vouchers were either
mislaid, or misplaced.
From the dste of Mr.. Nichols term
of office I only find n voucher miss
ing, which is a note given to National
Bank of Abbeville for 100000. This
note has been paid, but in some way,
misplaced. Attached to this schedule

Cashier of the bank of Abbeville, stat
ing that this note has been paid.

cord, and Mr.. Bradley furnished du-
plicate receipts while i was there of
payments to l.. NJ. Harper, $1,000 and

Schedule No. 8 shows a list of
all the vouchers I could find on which
discounts were allowed. The majority
of these discounts were on local bills to

Most Women Want Home Life.

Portable salary marriage and retire,
ment to domestic life not infrequently
involve a financial sacrifice, and it is
not difficult to understand why young
women able to support themselves in
ease should be less susceptible to the
attacks of Cupid than others less for
%tunately situated, although it is by no
means certain that such is the case,
at least to any appreciate extent.
Nor is there that evidence of a grow
ing distaste for home life and the ten
dency toward a pursuit of the pleas
ures Of single blessedness that pessi-
mists would have us believe exists.
There may be those in whom such
sentiments have gained a strong hold
but with the great mass of American
women home is still that sacred in
stitution of yore, against which all
the financial allurements of CON-
mercial or professional life are as
naught.

Large, loose-feathered hens of the

large eaters and poor rangers.
Close-feathered, medium-sized hens
of the Leghorn type are non-sitters,

one that lays $780,
Fowls should not be fed near the

Fowls roosting in trees and open
buildings seldom lay many eggs, and
those they do lay are often laid astray

Presentment of the Grand Jury.

Abbeville S. @
Feb. 23rd 1905.
To His Honor Judge Ernest Gary.
Presiding Judge:
February Term of Court 1905.
We the Grand Jury hereby make the
following Presentment:
We have examined and passed on
, II bills of indictment handed US by
the Solicitor.
We have visited by committee the
County Poor House, the Jail and the
different offices in tue Court House.
The last Grand Jury recommended
that two brick dormitories be built for
the paupers of the County, one for the
white and one for the colored inmates
and the last Legislature made Especial
levy of ID of one mill for carrying out
said recommendation. The SuperVi-
sor tells US that as soon as the money
is available he will build said houses.
We find at the present time several
old and helpless there who are not
able to help themselves and that things
are not kept as clearly as they should
be.
We also find several of the houses in
bad repair and recommend that they
be repaired at once. We recommend
that a system of Sewerage be put in
the jail as soon as practicable and
further that the flour of the Jail be
thoroughly scrubbed and that the fenc'
ing around the premises be repaired.
We find the Court House building
in very bad condition, the roof leaking
and the plastering falling off in many
places and we would call special atten-
ton to the office sof the Sheriff, tine
floor of which is sunken and badly in
need of repair, we also recommend
that there be more shelving put in the
office of the Treasurer, all of which re-
pairs we think should be done mined
lately. We recommend that the Sup
ervisor put a fire proof vault in the
office of the Clerk of the Court for the
better protection of the County records:
we think it is dangerous for them to be
kept in their unprotected conditinn
The last Grand Jury recommended
that the stage now in the Court House
be taken out but we find it still in use
and we insist that it be taken out i'm.
mediately after the present term OF
the Court and that in the future the
Court room be not used for theatrical
purposes.
Not taking into consideration the
danger from fire & etc., we think that
the damage to the building and to the
furniture more than over balances all
money received for the rent of same.
Our predecessors recommended that
an expert be employed to investigate
the books, vouchers & etc., of the
different County offices which recon-
mendation was carried out and his re-
port is hereby attached.
There is one item IN the said report
that we would call to your especial at
tention and that is that there is a
charge of excess of interest on money
borrowed from J.. A. Harris and Others
of $492.31.
We therefore recommend that the
County Attorney investigate the mat.
ter and take such action as he thinks
advisable for the best interests of the
County.
Respectfully submitted
