The app'opriation bill of the state legislature looks to be a pretty large one this year' and is a large one, but it would be well to consider what the ml)oney is to be spent for before con dening it. Even after a study of this kind it Is possible that sensible and patliotic men will doubt the wis doi of such large cxplienlditires. Without mentioniig the items in de tail it may be pointed out ifirst that nei aly $1,.l0,000 of the $6,000,000 t)ap prioplrialion goes for education, ehari table institutions, the mentally afflict (d, the care of eri mi nals and for pen sionIS. Of this the state colleges and training schools receive over a mil lion and a half, .while common schools receive nearly a mnillion, tlie latter' he ing left largely to local spil)port. Add edl to thi:; $1 ,.'ti30)0 is another half million for health, ioads and the i diciary, leaving a little over a million dollars for Ihe expenses of the "state .enili ment' and a few smaller interi ests for whic'h the state nrvs. South Carolina has committed itself to a br'oad policy towards ceucation, the carie of Ile iinsane and inir and towrIl'd its Coifederale soldiers. In these social atilviii's the larger part. of the state's tax funds .ire expended, the allnilts for administat ion ex plelss iln Columbia being coinmpara tively small, though, of course, it is possible that they niight ,'be madte simailer, t'nless we would favor a ettr'tailmlent of the(se. activities W e Cannot reasolnably find fault with ihe app) 1) ropria'ltinion as it stooI whell passed. {'oipar'isolls of appiopiationis foir itate colleges of higher leainlg and11 for common shiools are not fair, be cause tihe colleg(es' art necessarily state instituitions.' and( mu1st hto suppor-ted by it alone, wi'ile the schools hear a IOre local character and may depend i1on cal taxat 1ion for supporlt. 1111t., it is possible that a lavish stpIpori of state Colle'gs for i ghei learni ng may inl tline iriov harmfiulin through tit, unfair ompetition they ceate for de iloilinationa an(d eidovetd colleges.

The presentment of the grand Jury is as follows: To His tllonor, the Hon. T. S. Sease, Presiding Judge: We have passed on all bills handed us by the Solicitor. Thuis being the first session of the Court for this year, we have not had opportunity of looking into public af fairs of the County, but have alppoint ed committees as follows: On County ollicers, on schools, roads and bridges, county home, jail, chain gang, and ublite buildings, which committees will, In thle time betweenl this and another presentment, perform i these duties and make known their find ings in a future report. We would recommend that the Mag Istrates of the County investigate carefully cases sent up to Court, to be surc that the testimony warrants an investigation. We would also recom mnend that where a case is sent 11l) to this Couirt that a bond be reqtitir ed that will more nearly guarantee the appearance of the defendant or to pro tect the County from loss on account of' isufileient su1rety. The Supervisor's report has been tiled with us and we have exanineld same varefully. We f1id that a num ber of )ri(lges in the County are oit of reiair, and the Supervisor informs us that Ie will reach thesc as early as ossible unuder prevailing conditions. hle report shows very little funds available for this work at this timlie. We would recommend that the roads he relledled where it can be doIe by sitraightening and placing sfalme oil tile proper grades. The proper drailing of the roads to prevent wash ing out is, in our opinion, very im port at. This report also shows that aboit forty itiles of road has beeil (op-soiled. -We regret that the "Flu" which is 11oW -o prevalent, has it) som extent inteirferred with tie sch-.O wnw' of ourll county.
