The scarey times about the price of ootton has been worth much to the warehouse, where much of the cotton is hi 1 n stored. This time last year Dearly all the cotton had been sold. Since the warehouse has been bbllt we do not see bow the town ever got along without It. It la dow a necessity to both the town aod the county. Farmers are no longer comoelled to sell their cotton In the first of toe season when the price Is low, but may store It, and, when necessary, they can take their receipts to any one of the banks aud draw money on It.

Presentment of the Grand Jury, tc Abbeville, S, C. Feb. 17, 1904. o*! ro his Honor J.C. Klugb, Presiding w Judge: ^ 71 We Deg leave 10 mase cue ionowing (j, resentment. fc We have acted upon all bills of in- ' lictment handed us by the Solicitor. g, A committee of our body inspected ,r he jail and report the same in good tj londition. There seems to be some D, lefect in the flues or piping which f8 arries off the smoke from the furnace rp ir stove. This defect can be easily aj emedied by substituting terra-cotta J tinine?running same through the ?' op of the building. We would re- j( ommend the Supervinor to give this ^ atter his attention and have the aleration made. ? We have examined the condition of J* he poor bouse and premises, and re- ? >ort the same in good order. The innates are comparatively healthy and airly well satisfied. We found among be inmates of tbe poor bouse a two ^ ears old girl child; we don't think his a proper placeto raise children and rould recommend that the child be iound out to some responsible party or >??enttnan orohan home. The parent i a blind woman, and is willing for j'V be arrangement to be made. At this term of court we will not ttempt to make an investigation of . be books of the different county fficere, but will defer this work until ? ater in the year. When this investstation is made we have the promise r* f the Comptroller General that he ? rill send Mr. E. B. Wilson from his fflce to assist an expert to be emiloyed by the grand jury. g We find that a large number of the d aagistrates have not complied with aw as to making their quarterly re- d torts. The excuse generally rendered ? y them, the matter was overlooked. R Jow In order that they may not have rj n excuse for not attending to this im- ?4 >ortant duty, in the future, would rejuest the supervisor to notify each nd every magistrate, on postal card, alliog their attention to the time, and T mportance of making these reports, -g Lfter this notice, should there be any rho fail to report, we think It fould be wise to hold back the salary T such delinquants until their reports lave been received and passed upon ? >y the supervisor. We have made a partial examination >f the dispensary?-the financial afairs of this Institution is closely lookd after by the State authorities, we t re satisfied that the law governing his institution is being propeily ad- d nlnistered. Respectfully submitted, ? J. W. Sign, Foreman. * \ 8. Since writing above the report of E he supervisor has been handed us and ^ t is gratifying to find the finances of he county in such good condition. J. W. Sign, Foreman. ci County Supervisor's Report, J February Term, 1904. K To the Hon. J. C. Klugh, Presiding ^ Judge. a I beg leave to submit herewith my 5,1 nunal report in accordance with sec- ** ion 768 of the code of 1902. 1An itemized statement of the ex- 2 ienditure in the different department 01 f the County Government is hereto ttached. 1 I am glad to report that the conlition of the public roads are perhaps letter than ever before, in the history fthe county, at this season of the B ear. This condition however is due irgely to the very favorble weather; h s very little rain has fallen during he past several months. Usually at bis season of the year the roads are adly cut and almost impassible in n oany places. 81 I desire to state, that all public roads a f the county have been gone over witn u he scraper during the year, and put >' n good condition; the work being J lone by convict labor exclusively, a 'hese road scrapes being used, during C he summer months: this work having ieen completed on or about October he tenth. The convicts were then >ut into two camps?and placed one a ach on two leading roads from c Abbeville, and up to the present time lave been engaged hauling stone and ravel, constructing pavement roads. One road commencing at Long Cane A "emetery and running Dy way of Due Vest ana Donalds to Saluda River in he north east corner of the county, A distance of about twenty-two miles: racticaily all the level parts of this oad have been either maccadamized r graded, and it gives me mucn | Measure to state that a very excellent uality of gravel or chert was readily B btained without cost to the county. B The other road beginning at the city E imits of Abbeville, running by way B f Martin Mill to Lowndesville in the B forth West corner of the county was r worked in the same way. T About six mile of permanent road B ?as constructed during the year. There I eems to be a growing demand for the pening up of new public roads in * very section of the county. It is my pinion, in most cases the request for bese roads should be granted, but un- 8 jrtunately perhaps for all concerned C re feel that the financial condition of he county will not warrant us grant- c g many requests for new roads. >wing to the fact ttiat the right of way F >r the location of new roads though sually given free of charge, but when 8 be supervisor undertakes to locate 1 he road the land owner almost in- 8 ariably objects to the road passing c ver his land, unless he be allowed to c ictate exactly where the road should E e located. These rights of way are freuently given to the county by the 8 ind owners, however in many cases C hey assume, having given the right of 1 ray as a matter of courtesy, they 1 hould be allowed to say exactly where J he road should be located on their f ^remises. Quite frequently they give be right of way with the hope or un- * erstanding in their own minds that public road, so much desired, will be I Dcated in an old plantation road that ias been in use for fifty years and in aany places this road would be, if so 5 seated, in a ten foot gully, therefore aaking it practically impossible to open .ew roads; as many of the land owners * rill not give the right of way nncon- c itionaliy and as the funds for road pur- * oses are limited the rights of way for <ew roads cannot be condemned and C iaid for by the county.^ 1 " nnH ftViqOrVntlnn it. S -T rum CApencuvo ?uu i my opinion that many of our public oads should be relocated. Some progesa has been made along this line durng the past year. About five miles of oad have been relocated, going around illls on an easy grade; much yet regains to be done along this line. As a ule the opening up of new roads and be relocation of old roads must be done etween the gathering and the planting f the crop, in order to save the county rom paying extra damages. In reloating old roads the land owner is not '1 ~e xpecteu co give tue rigut ui waj, he same is almost invaribly paid for by he county. I desire to state in this connection hat the county board of commissioners esolved at their meeting in March 1903 o accept four days work from delin[uent road tax payers; that from three j V > five men were employed in each >wnsbip to warn and work delinquents u the public roads; the number of daye i ork performed by delinquents was ' r4; the average cost to the county per ay, for each delinquent was tbirtylur cents. rhe <ixpenpe of maintaining the chaining includes the co9t of tools, mules, mle feed, tents, wagons, <tc;you will noce further that the chain-gang receives art of their supplies from the county irm, for which we give the farm credit, his amount not being included in the ?gregate amount charged to the chaining. The farm has been well cultivated unsr the management of Mr. J. M. Williams; and a good crop made. The op raised consisted principally of corn, jaa, wheat and oats; with an excellent op of sweet and irish potatoes. The ,rm is in a high state of cultivation, at corn being the principal crop culti- j ?ted on the farm for a number of t. jars, partly owing to the prevalence of ^ orms which have materially decreased t le yield of corn on the farm for the a ?st several years, owing to the past I * ill the present year, decrease the J ireage of corn planted, and plant cot- i m instead. Hoping thereby to make J ie institution as near as possible self ( obtaining. We have examined the magistrates j icket as required by law, quarterly, , id find they have turned over in fines i ? the county Treasurer five hundred ' id thirty two dollars and Bixty cents | S32.60] and eentenced thirteen prison- f '8 to the county chaingang. } Financial condition of the county is ( x)d. All olaims have been cashed when ' lie, to do this it fwas necessav to bor- j >w eleven thousand [$11,000.00] dollars < urinjr the year. In March five thous- j id dollars was borrowed from Hester rothers, at an annual interest of six 3r cent. In July four thousand >4000,00] dollars, was borrowed from le National Bank of Abbeville, for six lonths at seven per cent interest per anum. On October 20th two thousand allars was borrowed from the Farmers ank of Abbeville for two months at 1 )ven per'cent per annum. And paid a December the 15th the average anual Interest on all money borrowed for >unty purposes being about 3 3-4 per jnt. I desire to state in conclusion that ' ie total amount of expenditures for all )unty purposes was, $23,414.23 leaving small balance in the County Treasury, > the credit of the county.
