Dantzler, Judye Presiding at the November Term of Court, 1902. Having passed on the several Bilis of Indictment handed us by the Solicitor, wu heg to submit the following report: The committee appointed from our body to examine the books of the several offices of the County has reported to us as follows: lu the Master'? office they tiud on deposit in the Farmers Bank of Edgefield the sum of $2174.94; and in the Bank of Edgefield $1005.86. This money on deposit, they find, is drawing ho interest. We recom mend that this money be put on in terest. The total amount, on de posit, is $3,GS0.80,and is $14.88 in ex cess of what is called for by the Master's books. They report fur ther that the Master's books are neatly and accurately kept, "in the Judge of Probate's office they find on deposit in the Bauk of Edgefield, $4K\13, and in the Farm ers Bank of Edgefield $195.86. With the exception of the latter amount, they find that the money is draw ing no interest. We recommend that this money be also placed on interest; and that the interest on the money in both the Master's and and the Judge of Probate's offices befoi the benefit of the minor heirs to whom the principal amounts will eventually belong. The books in the Judge of Probate's office, our committee reports to be also prop erly and neatly kept. The following items, taken from the Auditor's and Treasurer's books by our Committee, we include in this report for information: Re ceipts for State purposes, $17526.96, for ordinary county purposes, $14021.57. For School purposes, $10,516.18. Polls, - - $3,168.00. Money bon awed, - $9,300. Fines and .Licenses from Clerk of Court, .... $215.60. Magistrates Courts, $142.70. Dispensary Profits, - $2,290.21. Beer Dispensary, - - $119.75 State Dispensary for School Fuud, - - - $1,323.89. Commutation Tax, - $2,580.30 Total, - - $61,115.16 Expenditures. Paid State Treasurer, $16,300.96 School Warrants, - $14,942.20 County Commissioners, $29,267.84. Uncollected Taxes, Including Penalty, - - - $416.30. Cash on Hand, - $188.86 Total, - - - $61,115.16 Our committee reports that both these officers display great efficien cy in the performance of their du ties. The voluminous accouuts of the Supervisor's office prevented a full investigation of this officeife books. But the committee reports that their investigation extended far enough to satisfy them that their books were in proper shape. The Sheriffs office, as usual, is in good shape. The condition of the Jail, and ot the Court House, was reported on at the March term of Court. The books and papers of the Clerk of Court's office are a? neatly kept as is possible in the present condition of the office. Several Grand Juries, previous to the pres ent, have recommended the pur chase of a safe for the Clerk's of fice. This has not been done, and we again recommend, and urge, that this matter have i tn mediate attention and that a safe be placed in this office as early as possible. The nature of the papers filed from time to time in the Clerk's office are of too great value to be exposed to the possibility of loss by theft or fire. The committee appointed to ex? amine the County Chain Gang, re port that the Convicts and Stock are in good condition, and are do ing good work, but, from their re port we think it an extravagant ex penditure in grading '.he new road, from the Rambo place via S. B. Mays to the NOT?S place. The committee to examine the County Home report everything in good condition, and inmates prop erly cared for. Thanking His Honor, the Solici tor and County officials, for courte sies extended. Respect fu'ly submitted, P. C. STEVENS, Foreman.
