Thursday, Sept. 15,1921. / GRAM) JURY PRESENTMENT. County in Good Financial Condition. 00% ot Taxes Paid. (A copy of the following was pre1 Jr pared for the last issue of The Herald but was misplaced before it ever reached this office, therefore it was not published last week.) To the Honorable Circuit Judge, S. W. G. Shipp, judge presiding at Bamberg in the Second Judicial District. The grand jury having finished its work as submitted by the court, herewith presents its findings of fact on the various matters herewith sub k*v mitted. . I. We have examined all of the county offices and find everything in excellent condition; especially do we bring to the court's attention, the finances of the county, and comments as made by the representative of the comptroller General's office, to wit: Amount of Money. Expended from July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1921, for county purposes $78,053.86 For schools 62,188.47 Cash on hand and in banks July 1 49,585.32 And the said report summarized, further shows that the officer in|f ' " ' specting, says: That -the county is in better shape than any county in the state, or at least among the very best; that 96% of all the taxes have been collected, leaving only 4% for delinquents and other causds. Through our representative, we have inspected the county chaingang and its operations, and we are glad to say that we find the prisoners are well cared for, well fed, and required to do good honest work. n. County Roads. While the county has built a pub1 * lie highway from New Bridge on the Orangeburg line, to Bufords Bridge, on the Allendale line; a road entirely across our county. Also to Olar and also a road to Ehrhardt. Also the Bamberg-Colston road and is now building the state highway from Bamberg-Denmark-Lees on the Barnwell county line. These are good roads and are a credit to the officers who have built them, yet there are other communities which should be provided as speedily as may be practii/ / , cably, good roads; and we have directed to us a petition from sundry persons from the eastern part of the county, especially representing the people of the Buchhead part- of the county, and along the old Charleston road near the Colleton line, asking that work be done upon their public , roads and that they be opened up to the proper width. We have acted upon this petition, and through our representative, have called the supervisor before our body and we have the assurance from him that as soon as the state highway, the portion thereof from Bamberg to ? -r\ i at or? hv tho r?rm n fJLWiima.ua., id v-vuuwj v?*v ty chaingang, which should be within three months, -that he will then take |;V np the section referred to by the petitioners, and bring these roads up Pto the proper standard, which was gratifying to your body. We have also -taken into consideration the road tax of $5i00 per capita on those liable to road duty, and find that this is onerous during times such as we have had this year, and recommend that the road tax he reduced to $2.00. While on the subject of roads, we beg to say: That while the county has mileage of first class roads, it has issued ijo bonds for roads and has - \ paid.for all of its roads by direct taxv a>tion and now has a balance of $45,616.67, on hand as of July 1. III. Magistrates. As a rule we find that the magistrates are doing their duty, but some complaint has been made to this body, that some of the magistrates have refused to issue warrants against parties that have gotten monfnnrts and nroDerty by giving ? O ? ? c , - . _ _ checks where there were no funds .-to meet the checks in this way, the parties parting of their property for v worthless checks have been made and sustained considerable losses and the evil habit of giving checks is being fostered because the magistrates, some of them at least, would not grant warrants for those so offending. And we would ask your honor -for a declaration of the law upon this subject so that it may be made public. IV. Public Schols. We are glad to say that the schoo] system of this county last year had at least a seven months term, while all of the graded , schools ran the full nine months. We are further happy to call your attention to the very high standard of the schools at Bamberg, Ehrhardt, Denmark, Hunter's hapel and Olar. The Bamber? y ' i EHRHARDT BUREAU I W. F. Hiers, Manager. Ehrhardt School Opens. Ehrhardt, Sept. 13.?The opening exercises of the Ehrhardt school were ! held in the school auditorium yesteri day morning. The interest that is ! being taken by the people in this i community in the education of the | youth was evidenced by the large! number present, the large auditorium i being filled to its capacity. The elo-| quent address delivered by Dr. C. E.I Burts, of Columbia, was interesting. | enlightening and inspiring. With the enrollment totaling near 180, and i taking into consideration the able ! corps of teachers secured, the great interest manifested by the board of trustees, the patrons and friends of the school, there is every reason to believe that this will be one of the most successful sessions in the history of the school. Dr. and Mrs. Hucks Entertain. On Monday evening Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Hucks, in a delightful and enjoyable manner, entertained the young folks who will be soon leaving for the various seats of learning in this and other states. Those who are making preparations to leave within the next week are: Clyde Griffin, who will enter Mount Pleasant Col legiate institute, Mt. Pleasant, N. C.; Lyles Ehrhardt, Xewberry college; Cornelius Brabham, Bailey; and Furman Roberts, Furman university: Earle Griffin and C. T. Bullock will return td the University of South Carolina, James Roberts and Claude Copeland to Wofford, and Richard C. Roberts to the Citadel. Death of Mrs. McKenzie.

McKenzie, died at an early hour Saturschool has outgrown its quarters and ' ii-- ??+ v, it may oe taai me yeuyic ui uno: community will wish to add addition-! al buildings and we recommend that' the people be allowed to vote upon the question of the additional buildings, and making additional improvements to -their already existing plant. We also recommend that at least two additional teachers be employed for the Bamberg school. V. Court House. The equipment in the -treasurer's office is not sufficient to meet the needs of that office, and we recommend that the supervisor be directed! to secure the proper equipment fori the treausrer's office. I We thank your honor for the courtesies extended to us as a body dur ing this term of court. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. D. COPELAND, Foreman of Grahd Jury.

The Ehrhardt base ball team I wound up its season of forty-odd j games Friday by winning from Fair! fax by a score of four to one. Purcell, whd started on the mound for the home team, retired at the end of | the third, with the score one to one, j on account of a sore arm. The jinx I pursued Purcell from the beginning | of the season to the end. With no [ catcher to hold him he was forced to do without his fast one in most of his games and that fast ball was his main stock of trade. Though -the rest of the stuff made one of the TriCounty league's official umpires (not the one residing in Ehrhardt) say that he was the league's best. Continually handicapped by poor support and ineffectual receiving, caused by injuries, etc., he was yet able to shine in a number of contests. * -i~ T"* _ Among tiiem one agamsi rainax which resulted in a scoreless tie and in which he allowed but two hits, the one at Springfield against Pollock in which he allowed five scattered singles, walked no one and lost the game on three disastrous errors. In another game with Springfield at Ehrhairdt, in which they did not have a look in the entire game, also one at Allendale, when his battery mate was Gross, of Wofford, he defeated the best team Allendale ever got together. Purcell's cup of troubles was filled out by. a sprained ankle, a sprained knee, and several sore arms | during the season. Through all tnis i he was grinning Purcell, the only pitcher that could stand in his box, j see his team throw away the game through errors, and grin and pitch harder than ever. The rest of the pitching staff was followed by the same jinx as Faber hearse, who has pitched college ball j in four states, was sick most of the season and, not being worked prop| erly, hurt the three inexperienced younger pitchers. The team started off winning in the [ early part of the season but dissatis| faction that crept in and the poor ! support of the fans in general deI moralized it completely and was the cause of the poor showing made in the league. It was only through the continual support and encouragement I of a very few fans that the team was | able to keep the field. Mainly among I these were Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Copej lnd, Dr. J. H. Hucks and J. P. Griffin.
