AS Children Do

Sometimes, when night is creeping
down
And all the world about is dim,
And he must go to Sleepytown,
You lie down at the side Of him
And whisper soothing little things
In childish words such as you frame
To tell the sound of beetle wings
And how the freely gets its fame.
And soon the world grows darker yet
And to the little fellows eyes
Strange, hidden dangers now beset
The shadow places in the skies;
But you speak low and comforting
And tell him none of them are there,
That near him is not anything
But what is good and kind and fair
Then trembling come his little hands
Out through the dark and find your
face,
AS though by touch he understands
That he is in the safest place;
And so with fingers on your cheek
He signs contentedly to sleep
And you-you many not even speak
SO very, very still you keep.
Some time you, as little child
Shall fare into an unknown night
And shall yearn for the stars that
smiled
With all their soothing, drowsy light;
And you, as little children do,
May grope out through the darks Of
space
And sigh in peace to sleep, when you
At last have touched your Fathers
face.

DAYTIME J.welry Of Amber.

Amber il ut present very highly ia
yored item Of daytime jewelry. 1t Is
seen as the hatpin head! globular IN
shape and of a. medium size, and Is the
ornament If combs and prongs.
Magical properties were believed to
be ascribable to amber in former times,
and there were wearers Of the beads
who vowed they we're saved By them
from that tedious and troublesome
complaint, hay fever. The new delight
found In amber is traceable not to any
occult connection. but to the fashion
for every shade Of gold, through all the
gradations from the most pallid to the
post radiant tint.-London Mail.

The STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

The STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Williamsburg County.
To the Honorable T H Spain, Judge

general sessions for the county of
Williamsburg and State of South
Carolina:-
We, the grand jury for the fall
term of the court of general sessions
for the State and county aforesaid,
beg leave to make the following f.
nal presentment:
We have examined all of the
county Offices and find all of the
same in good condition with the eX-
ception of the office of County Com
missioner, and upon examination of
of that Office. we find that the office
is not large enough to properly con-
tain and file all the books and pa
pers necessary to be kept therein,
and we therefore recommend that
the CountyCommissioEer ofWilliams-
burg county be authorized and en-
powered to install a filing system
similar to those in use in the offices
Of the Clerk of Court and Judge of
Probate.
We have examined the chaingang
and Jail and find the same n good
and proper condition.
We have examined the books of
magistrates which were properly
returned and find all which we have
examined to be kept in the proper
manner and in good condition, out
find, and so present, that Magistrates
J A Haddock and w S Camlin have
failed to return their books for ex-
animation according to law.
The condition of the section of
public road leading from B H Guess
farm to Lanes has been called to our
attention as being very poor, but,
upon this matter being stated to the
Road Engineer for SAID county, ne
has made US sufficient and satisfac-
tory explanation of why the said
section of road was not in better
condition.
1t has been reported to US that
the Atlantic Coast Lumber corpora.
ton has been making a practice of
hauling logs and running logging
trains through this county on Sum-
days, and we respectfully recommend
that proper steps be taken to en-
force the law in this particular.
We take this opport unity for
thanking the Solicitor and presiding
Judge for their assistance during
this term of court.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. j NJ BROWN,
Foreman.
