With the conclusion of tills work, the grand Jury appeared in court, announcod that their work was com pleted for tho present torin, and wore dismissed after 'making the following (?rand Jury Presentment. To His Honor J. W. DoVore, Pre siding Judge: We have passed upon all bills of indictment handed us by the Solici tor at this torin of Court. By special committee wo havo Visited tho poor farm, and find that there aro now 17 inmates, who aro well kept and cared for. Wo recom mend that a chapel bo erected, about 20 by 30 feet In size, on the promises for tho holding of religious services for the benefit of tho inmates, and that all religious d?nominations bo porniltted to conduct religious sor vlcos therein, under tho supervision of tho steward. Our attention has been called to tho bad condition of cortaln bridges, culverts and some impassible pinces in tho public ronds of the county. We recommend that tho cluporvisor mnko such toiV)ornry repairs im mediately to these places as to ren der same safe for travel, until tho same can bo permanently rona!rod; also tiiat bushes have grown up upon the approach of several bridges. This, in our opinion, should be ro moved, so ns to prevent accidents. We have visited tho county chain gang and find that the convicts are well fed and cared for. Wo further recommond that the clerk to the Board of County Com missioners be paid an increase in salary, corresponding to tho high cost of living, so ns to enable him to give more attention to the duties of the clerkship. Wo think $600 per annum would be a reasonable and fair compensation. We have, by special committee, examined the books of the county oltlcers, and commend our county officials for tho efficient and satis factory manner in which we find their books kept. We find that in tho office of Clerk of Court moro room is needed for the proper preservation of tho records. We recommend that this condition bo remedied, which can easily ; be done by using the vault room,'now unused, and that the vault door, now on the outside, be removed and placed Inside, connect ing the said vault room with the present office. We also find that there aro a groat many old, worth lees papers and rubbish that ought to.be destroyed, and thus make room for new papers and documents, and that this be done by special commit tee from our'body, with the assist ance of the Clerk of Court. We And, Upon examination of the Auditor's ofllee, that from tho growth and development of our county there hus been a tremendous incronse in the work of said office; that the tax able property In the last six years has Increased over one and one-half million dollars; that all 74 school districts aro carrying special school levies, ranging from three to thirteen m|lls, and that twelve school districts are carrying^ bond ' issues, which hus very materially increased the y/ork in said, office?f th?t thls > office isve^check- on nll--funds received-atui dlso?rs?d in the "fiscal operatloiroT the school R. "ounty and State. We wish to commend our present Audi tor for the efficient, systematic, busi ness administration of the duties of said office, which have been Inaugu rated by him, Our attention has been culled to certain irregularities on the part of some magistrates in allowing con stables and rural policemen to take cash bonds in certain cases. This is an old custom that lins been practiced heretofore, and wo recom mend that magistrates in the future take all bonds of purtles charged with any offense as now required by law, and that they do not allow con stables or rural policemen to take bonds or collect fines. There have been sundry charges preferred to us against Rural Police man J. G. Mitchell, as an officer, for Investigation. We have sworn and examined all witnesses whose names have been furnished us to prove thc charges of irregularities and miscon duct ns an officer. Also, we have sworn and examined some of thc best and leading citizens of West minster and community, where thc snid Mitchell resides, and they have to our entire satisfaction exonerated and vindicated his official conduct, We believe these charges were in spired, for the purpose of removing said officer, by the lawless liquor ele ment of said community, because of his vigilance and activity in thc enforcement of the liquor laws ol the State. We recommend that he be upheld and retained in the office of Rural Policeman, because hie record shows that he has made one of the best rural policemen over ap pointed in our county. Wo have examined the office of Probate Judge and recommend thal his office bo furnished with two ad ditional filing cases. We have examined the county jail and recommend that the following changes bo made: Tho steel caget aro now located upon the first floor where they aro very accessible to thc outside public, and hack-saws ant! other tools have been furnished prisoners, which have onablod them to effect their escape In the past Wo recommend that these steel cagef bo removed and placed upon thc second floor, as they are so located in all other counties of which wc have any knowledge; and that al tho windows bo wiro screened, so nt to prevent any occurnnce of this kind in tho futuro. Wo find certain re pairs need to bo made to tho dwell lng portion of tho jail, and also to thc porch over tho front entrance of thc Court House, and wo recommend that such needed repairs be mndo ai once. We l;j ve had our attention called to tho Increase of crime caused bj tho illicit liquor traffic in our coun ty, which by thc vigilance of oui ponce officers in the suppression ol such offenses has turned into thc county in fines, forfeitures, and ser vico in tho chningang, for the last ? yoars, from five to six thousand dol lars per year. That for such valu ablo servico our sheriff and rura policemen have, in our opinion, bool paid insufficient salary for tho char actor of work they havo and are re (laired to perform. Therefore, w< recommend that tho Sheriff of Oco UPPISH CONFEHENCE ENDS. Appointnii'iils in Full for Anderson Districts-Sonic Others. (Greenwood Index-Journal, 10th.)
