We have passed upon all the f indictments handed us by tbe Solicitor and have found true bills, ana no bins, ' as the facts, in our opinion, warranted. COUNTY OFFICES. 2nd. Having made an examination ( of the several County Offices at the last term of Court, we do not deem it necessary to again examine the same. A committee of our number, however, j will be present at the annual settle ' ment between the Auditor and the Comptroller General and assist in the cancellation of all checks issued by the , Supervisor, examine the bonds of county officials and make such other and further examinations as may be deemed proper. POOR HOUSE. 3rd. We have, by committee, ex- ] amined the Poor House. It is with t pleasure that we report the good con- * dition of this institution. The inmates are well clothed, aud fed on wholesome and suitable food. The bedding aud furniture in the houses of the inmates are clean and of 1 good quality. The buildings upon the J premises have lately been whitewashed, and upon a whole are in good condition. While the physical condi- ? tion of these unfortunate creatures is guarded zealously by a competent superintendent in the person of Mr. J. R. Kennedy, their spiritual condi tion is not neglected, as they have preaching once a month by faithful ministers of the gospel. JAIIj. 4th. We also by committee visited t the Jail. It has lately been white- i washed, and presents the appearance i of neatness and comfort. The build- t ing is in fair condition with the excep- ? tion of the rear end of hall, which i needs a portico to protect it from dam- i ages by weather, which we suggest t should be built. 1 HIGHWAYS. 5th. It gives us, also, pleasure io J report the excellent condition of the highways of the County. They are in as good condition, with few exceptions, J( as it is possible to have them with the ( limited funds for this purpose pro- < vided. | PUBLIC SCHOOLS. , 6th. We heartily commend the interest manifested in the public schools I In the County, realizing as we do, that ' an enlightened suffrage is the foundation of republican form of government. In addition to the constitutional school tax, many districts have voted a special school tax, ranging from 3 to 8 mills, and sincerely hope that this course may prevail throughout the County. DISPENSARY. 7th. The Dispensary was examined and found to be conducted upon business principles. This law as enforced by Dispenser W. A. Calvert, is growing in public favor and has reduced the evil of drink to the minimum. NEEDED LEGISLATION. 8th. We would recommend to our legislative delegation the enactment of laws looking to the enlargement of the jurisdiction of Magistrates. We are informed that au act passed in 1893 giving magistrates jurisdiction on cases of "larceny of live stock, selling crops under lien, obtaining goods by false pretenses, larceny from the field, disWAlint/vno Tim ivi Kin J) VlQU Krvnn IU1VIII ? xcilgivs UD TTuiouipj uao MVVU declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of this State. So that magistrates now have very little jurisdiction, and are merely committing officers. We make this recommendation because the ends of justice demand it, and because magistrates can dispose of criminals charged with the above offenses as effectively and far more economically tban the Courts of General Sessions. MISCELLANEOUS. 9th. Our attention has been called to the fact that certain funds collected by ex-magistrate J. L. Corvin, while acting as magistrate, have not been turned over to the Uounty Treasurer, j We would, therefore, notify him to , show cause at the September Court why he should not be required to com- | ply with the law. The Court room is now being used j for theatrical purposes, thereby result- j ing in much damage to its furniture, j such as carpets, desks, etc. Werecom- { mend that the use of the said Court j room for such purposes be discoutin- j ued, and that it be not rented hereafter ] for any purpose whatever. , Respectfully submitted, < twos nnv ' Foreman.
