To the Hon. James Aldrich, Judge Presiding: We, the grand jury, beg to make this our report. We have examined and passed upon all indictments handed out to us by the Solicitor. We herewith present the report of our special committee, endorsing the same and making it a pait of this report. 11 L rrD.-r-r, \> e liLIU ItlC UUHl/ Ul IliD fraufi from Jan. 1 to July 3, 1809, six months, to be $624 27, making an average per month of $104 04. We also find the average number of convicts during that time to be per month, making a cost to the county of $13 87 per month to the hand, which we think too heavy. We find, from what Mr. Koon, the County Supervisor, tells u?, the-chain gang is now a benefit to the county, but we recommend the ration ex penses be curtailed, for we are satisfied from the report of the average amount of convicts 1300 pounds of bacon in 6 months is entirely too much. We suggest that an average of 4 pounds per week a convict is sufficient and all other ration supplies in proportion. We are glad to see the Magistrates are sending convicts to the chain gang and not running the county to the expense of feeding them in jail without receiving the benefit of their labor. Mr. Koon, the Supervisor, reports he has worked four 30 day and three 15 day prisoners this year, who, if confined in the county jail, would have cost the county $49 50 and without any benefit. It has been reported that the Waters Ferry road, in the lower part of the county, is in bad condition. We recommend that the same be looked after by the County Supervisor at once. We find the poor house in good condition, and the inmates satisfied. We find the new barn; mentioned in our former presentment, under construction. We find the crops planted in connection with the poor house will compare with the surrounding crops and that it has been well worked. We also find the stock beIjf^ijjg to the poor house in good <*&?ruon and well cared for. There is one thing that has been needing at this court house for the accommodation cf those parties who have to attend court and has been for a long time. It is public water closets. We therefore recommend that the County Supervisor erect the same for the accommodation of both male'and females before next February Court, and in sufficient size to meet the demand. We further recommend that the same be erected on the south west corner of the jail lot. And that they be erected with the view cf bciDg kept clean and in a decent condition. Wpi Imve examined the iail and " " *" a find it well kept, the buildiDg is in good condition, except the piazza floor to the wooden part of the building requires repair, this we think should be looked after at once. The water supply for the sewerage we find is insufficient, and frequently none at all. "We recommend that a good well be dug and a first class wind mill erected, with pump to furnish this water, which will be cheaper than the water rent the county is now pacing and not getting the supply necessary. We find the tables in the court room are in a bad condition and we recommend that they be repaired at once. We also find that the accommodations for the petit jury rooms in the way of seals are very poor. We recommend that they be furnished with chairs, like those recently furnished for the grand jury room. Thanking the court and the officers ( thereof for courtesies extended to us, we respectfully submit this our report. S. P. YouDginer, Sept. 21, 1899. Foreman. KEPOKT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE, | To the Hon. the Grand Jury of Lexj ington county, S. C. Your undersigned, special committee, appointed to examine iuto tie V. county offices and finance beg leave to make tbis our report: We bave made a careful examination of all tbe county offices and find every thing kept in a good and orderly manner. We bave examined all the official bonds and find them and their security sufficient. | We find the County Treasurer's | books well kept and balanced; and we find he has sufficient funds on hand to meet his liability: we also find him ready for settlement with the Comptroller General and County Auditor. We are glad to say the arrangement in his office for his protection is about complete and a credit to the County Supervisor. We find that with this year's col lection of taxes the school debt oi me county will be paid in full with the exception of $300 72. As this year will complete the third year in which the School Commissioner, under a special act of the Legislature, has authority to reserve the one-third of the public school tax income to meet and pay up the school indebtedness of the county. We suggest that the deficiency above mentioned be paid out of the dispensary funds coming into his hands before it is disbursed among the different public schools cf the county, and thereby put the schools on a cash basis. In connection with the public school interests of the county, weJ beg to say, we find that, under the now existing law, every county in the State derives a benefit from the dispensary funds, even those counties in which there is no dispensary. We think this is a serious wrong to those counties in which dispensaries are kept, and we would suggest that our Representatives" attention be called to this matter and that they use their efforts to have this fund dis tributcd among the counties in which j the dispensaries are kept, and ac j cording to the income derived from j the dispensaries of such counties re- I spectively. We find the Sheriffs cffice and books well kept, and sufficient funds on band to meet his official liabilities. "We find the Probate Judge's office and books well kept with sufficient funds on hand to meet bis official liabilities. "We also find the records, called to the attention of the court by the grand jury of last year, have all been properly and neatly indexed, labled and filed away by the present Judge of Probate. We find the Clerk of Court's cffice well kept, and we think special mention should be made of the complete system of book-keeping in his cffice, showing the financial condition thereof with receipts, checks, fee. We also find that he has ample funds on ! hand to meet the liabilities of his office. We find upon examination of the ! grand jury room, which is used in connection with the Clerk of Court's room, that there is a case of very valuable papers belonging to the eld Court of Equity, involving the parfc'tion and settlement of a great many estates, and which have much | Impoveris ! is the secret of half the | manity?rheumatism, dr | and liver troubles may i | traced to the circulator] ! avoided and they can b ! remedy that supplies t to enrich the blood.

We suggest that these records be properly numbered, indexed and filed away in the vault of the Cleik of Court's office for safe keeping. We are informed by the Super- j visors of registration that all of the j Magistrates of the county, except | S. M Sigh tier, have failed to coinply with section 18, page 42, of the Act of 1S9G, and thereby they are unable j to comply with the requirements of i section 16 of the same law. We therefore recommend that this matter be attended to at once. Yve find the books of the County Supervisor well kept and the finan! cial condition of the county in good j shape, and that the county is run on i an economical basis, except we think the expenses of the chain gang should bs curtailed somewhat in the way of furnishing ration for the convicts. We find the Auditor's books well kept and ready for settlement with the Comptroller General and Counly j Treasurer. We made a careful examination of i the books of the County Board of i Control, also th9 books of the County j i Dispenser and find the same well j j kept, clear and explicit since the ! present Dispenser, Mr. W. J. McCar- ; tha, has had charge. We also find that the expenses j are reduced; and we are glad j to say the county will derive several j hundred dollars more this year than i last year from the net profits. Upon examination of the Dispen- j ser's books, however; we were only ; able to examine back as far as Feb- J February 1st, 1899, the date ' when Mr. McCartba took charge, * ? owing to the fact that the records in the books previous to that time had been torn out and carried away. We-inquired of Mr. McCirtha, the Dispenser, and Mr. R. L K^isler, Chairman of the County ! Board of Control, the cause of this and they both stated that the books ! were in this condition when turned I over by Mr. P. I. Rrwl, the former Dispenser. We suggest that this matter be looked into at once and the guilty party or parties be delt with as the law directs. We furiher find that for the month ending Feb. 1st, 1899, the then Dis penser, Mr. P. I. Raw!, charged himself before the County Auditor, on tLu7ih of February, 1899, as receiving as net profits for that month the sum of $113.25, and on the same d ryonly paid ioto the hands of the County Treasurer the sum of ?*>7 72, leaving a balance unaccounted for of 855 53. except that Mr. R. L. Keis ler stated that Mr. Bawl claimed that the dispensary owes him tLi amount for salary as Dispenser and incidental expenses connected with the dispensary for the month of January, 1809, but Mr. Keisler further states that the County Board of : Control has frequently tried to get | Mr. Biwl to a settlement, but have | failed to get him to a settlement, or even an attempt at settlement.
