On Tuesday the only business before ths board was the complaint of a colored man, who claimed that he had been working a year and a half to pay a doctor's bill which he thought had been paid by the County. Upon examination it was found that the county had not paid it, although a certificate for part of the amount bad been issued but never delivered. Several road overseers presented their claims but owing to the treasurer tailing to make a report no checks could be issued. One poor fellow was induced to deposit a dollar he had collected from a delinquent road worker, with the treasurer, and came to grief when he found he could not tret his bill paid. As the meeting was without a report the clerk suggested that the board call on * Col. Shaffer, treasurer of Colleton Count? who visited the office, tor a report in the absence of one from treasurer ITolines. Thursday the treasurer reported as follows^: J ii> Mil I ii Jgg'rTOC-^c^ Balance last report, $1,458 58 ; Collections to Feb. 1st, 2,8-.'t 78 ; ??? | $8,775 20 raid County checks, $1,822 55 Feb. 1st, balance on hand, $2,152 71 The Commissioners issued the following checks ; VV.

That the 3 mill tax for County purposes must be applied only to the liquidation of expenses incurred during the fiscal year commencing Nov. 1, 1874, and ending Nov. 1, 1875, and that any specific levy for past indebtedness must be applied to that purpose alone. In respect to Trial Justice courts His Honor sought to impress upon the Grand Jury the necessity of careful scrutiny of their official acts. To see that all fines imposed by them were turned over to the County treasurer and not retained by the Trial Justice towards satisfaction of any claim of ttieir own against the County. Any violation of this plain law was punishable, and it was the duty of the Grand Jury to present my Justice thus fouad guilty, also that if the jury were informed aud believed that any trial justice was in the habit of breeding prosecutions with a view to the iucre&se of his fees, he should be orv '-eutcd. lOr-trl.llr ' ?T .I. *.?. 41 ~C 4.1?i * VIU, 4 U ilic lakh's ?JI IUC State, vb.
