W. De Vore, .Presiding Judge: We, the grand jury, beg leave to make this our final presentment for the Fall Term of Court: We have ?xs. rufe ?d %!! bills handed out by the Solicitor (tad have report ed on same. We have made a casual examina tion of the ocunty offices by commit tees, who have made a favorable re port on the conditions they found. We did not attempt to audit any ac counts to tes their correctness, think ing that same should be done by an expert accountant, as recommended by this body at the last term of Court. The annual reports of the county officers were submitted to us and were examined as carefully as possi ble. They are apparently correct and in accordance with the law. The committee appointed to exam ine the jail report that the locks on the outer doors are insecure, same being capable of being unlocked with a wooden key, which had been made to flt. They also report broken win dow panes and bedding in prisoners' quarters in bad condition. The sew erage is also In bad condition and needs repairing. We have visited the "poor farm" by committee and find there thirteen paupers, eleven white and two col ored, all apparently well cared for. We find the farm in good condition and estimate the yield for the pres ent year's crop at 1,200 bushels of corn, 15,000 bundles of fodder, 20 tons of hay, 13 bales of cotton, pota toes, peas, etc., and several fine hogs being fed and fattened for bacon. Wc call the attention of the Su pervisor to the bad condition of the following roads: Flat Shoals school road; the road from Holly Springs to Unity school house; the road from the Ross place, through the Sitton place to Nlmmons's bridge; H.ho road from Walhalla to West Union; also the bridge over Conneross creek on the road leading by Jvtajor W. J. Strlbllng's to the "poor farm" should be thoroughly examined. We present Leo Maxie and Redda Norris for living in adultery, and give as witnesses to prove the same Ada Maxie, W. M. Cole, James Cole and Andy Mathis. We desire to extend our thanks to His Honor and the Solicitor for courtesies shown us. Respectfully submitted, J. D. Vernor, Foreman. November 5, 1908.
