Second—We confirm the attached budget of the County Board of Commis sioners— $182,300 —and a tax levy to cover for the ensuing year. Third —The legislature having recently enacted several laws amending and ameliorating the Penal Code of the State —of wheih laws we most heartily approve—now. therefore, in pursuance of the charge of the court on this subject we respectfully recommend to His Hon er. Judge Henry C. Hammond, the ap pointment of a probation officer as pro vided for under the new law. Fourth—We recommend that the of fices of the law use due diligence to break up the practice of receiving and buying stolen goods. Fifth—We recommend that the officers of the law use due diligence to break up the practice of carrying pistols with out a license, as this grand jury thinks this practice is a growing evil as evi denced by the many cases of the kind brought before them. Sixth—"We recommend that the pay of grand jurors, petit jurors and bailiffs of the Superior and City Courts be $2.00 per diem. Seventh —We recommend that the in solvent costs of A. L.

We commend tlie economical and ef ficient work of the County Board of Commissioners. We recommend that the pay of all Court officials l?e placed upon a salary basis.

(COMMUNICATED) To the Voters and Taxpayers of Richmond Gnunty For something over four years I have served the people of this coun ty as a member of the Board of County Commissioners. Sixteen months of that time I have acted as Chairman, and, in all these years, I have endeavored to do my part in the conduct of the affairs of the County upon a businets basis and without political or factional bias. I know ills: during my administration as Chairman, the interests of the county have been subserved and economy has been practised and that, absolutely there has been no politics in any action of the Board. The results are shown in the improved physical and financial condi tion of the county. The publiqjdebt has been decreased more than $45,- 000.00 and every department kept up to standard. Continued progress and. I think I may say, marked improvement have been made on the roads. A number of reinforced nteel concrete bridges are projected for this year thus bringing our highways up to the very highest standard. I will stake my business reputation that, if re-elected and retained as chairman, in two more years we will get the county entirely out of debt, give the county a progressive administration and, at the end of that time, reduce taxes from 57 cents to 40 cents a hundred. I have seen no criticism of our administration of county affairs Then why is the opposition to my re-election so fierce and whv am I be ing singled-out for an entirely unneces ary and wholly unprovoked politi cal fight. X am thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the county, know where economics can be practiced and ought to be made, and I have a laudable ambition to carry out policies which I believe will inure to the benefit of all the people; and when that is done I shall be more than willing tc retire. I appeal to the taxpayers and to the thoughtful people of this county to uphold my hands and let me continue the work in which I am earnest ly engaged.

PROP “ Too Old at 30 ” is Unhappy Lot of the British Barmaid—Are 22,000 of Them. Few Men Found Behind in Occupation London —" Too old at thirty," is the unhappy lot of the British barmaid described in a report by Mrs. Bernard Drake of an inquiry made by the Do man's Industrial Council. Barmaids are a British institution. Very few men -are found behind the bars in the saloons throughout the United Kingdom, except proprietors. There are 22,000 barmaids in England alone. Frequent crusades have been started with the purpose of eliminat ing women, and particularly girls, from this vocation but nothing lasting has been accomplished. One reason is that the saloon is the working mans club, and he prefers those places where he can gossip with the girls. On the whole the influence of barmaids is to raise the atmosphere of saloons, but the influence of the saloons upon the women is considered bad. “The barmaid soon grows old,” says the report. “Sometimes she is old at 25; she is generally too old at thirty." Her chances of marriage are small un less she marries the barman or the manager, and almost the only recourse left to her is the streets. The number of women on the London streets who have once been barmaids is out of all proportion to the total numbers in the trade. Mrs. Drake writes sympathetically of the women behind the bars. She says: “The barmaid is cheaper than the barman. She is more industrious, more sober, more amenable to the wishes of her employer, less rebellious against the hard conditions of public house life. “There are women, women of fine character, who earn in the bar a de cent and respectable living, and are not unhappy. There is even a woman of robust health und temperament, finds in the public-house a certain vo cation. The bar is to other women immediate ruin. “But all these are exceptions. The barmaid who is of the majority, al though she loses nothing of self-re spect, yet continues at her post only in weariness and loathing, and with a great fear" in her heart of that which the future is to bring." Wages for barmaids are no more than domestic servants command in the United States and the average working day is fourteen hours. In houses patronized by workingmen the average pay is $2.50 to $3.00 a week: in hotels it may rise to $3.50, and for a head barmaid to $4.50 or even $5.00. Board and lodging are always furnish ed but the girls are expected to dress well. The barmaid, according to Mrs. Drake, belongs to the type of normal and average working girl, industrious sober and honest, although she is to be distinguished from her sisters by a greater measure of the love of youth for adventure. She seldom adopts the career as the result of a false step. The working man seldom loses his re spect for the barmaid as a woman worker; it is reserved for the man about town to be without all sense of honor or chivalry to women. Young and pretty girls arc deliberately chos en for the West End Saloons which are the resorts of dissolute men and fallen women, because the inexperien ced girls attract the men. They are given no protection by their employ ers. Two great evils of the present sa loon system are pointed out by the re port. One is the long hours affecting the health of both men and women and leading to excessive drinking. The other is the exploitation of young girls which is responsible for their degrada tion. One reform proposed is that no girl under the age of 21 shall be em ployed after eight o’clock, except on the premises of her parent, and an other is that the bar shall be a more fit place for both men and women. The Easter holiday scene on Hamp stead Heath, where London factory girls have their annual parade and picnic, wan altogether changed this year. The flaring and multifarious petticoats which the East End girls have flaunted each new season were missing. Most of the East End belles had taken up the new fashions and their taste in dress seemed to bear tribute to the college settlement work ers of the poorer districts. In past years the girls spent all their money for gay petticoats, for rental of gor geous plumes for their hats, and great combs set with glass gems, with which to ornament their top-heavy pompadours. This year witnessed the passing of most of these extravagan ces. In the classes conducted by the social settlement workers the girls have been taught to dress their hair gracefully and to dispense with the brilliant combs.
