A negro child three years old died on Mr. Jacob Richardson's' place, in the St. Paul's section of the county, on Monday, from burns received while in a house in which it was left by its mother. Another child who was int the house was also seriously burned; but will recover. The mother had gone out to do some washing. How the children managed to get in the fire is not known. .The St. Paul's correspondent of The Herald and News, in speaking of the affair, says: "It seems to be gross carelessness with the negroes. There ought to be a law making it a crime punishable when mothers leave helpless children in a house alone, and then die from being burn ed. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT. Recommendations As To Public High- ( ways, Bridges and Ferries-Other Matters. The graind jury on Tuesday after noon made its final presentment to the court of general sessions, Judge R?. 0. Purdy presiding, and was dis diarged. Following is the -present nent: To His Honor R. 0. Purdy, Presid ng Judge: The grand jury beg leave I o present the following report: 1. That they have carefully consid 3red and acted upon all indictments lailded them by the solicitor, and iave reported same to the court. 2. Whereas, it has been reported to I he grand jury that the flat at -Simp On's ferry is in very bad condition, we rceoImm11eIId that. the supervisor )e instrueted to look after it at once mnd pul it iln proper shape. 3. Whereas, the bridge over Bush ,iver at Schumpert's mill is in bad b 101dition we recommend that the sup ?rvisor he instructed to either repair he old one or build a new one, at is earliest convenience. 4. Whereas, a device known as the King road drag has been tried on the roads of a great many states and 'ound a success in improving the con lition of bad roads on which it was ,ised, by producing a hard, smooth miface; and, whereas, the said King road drag may be constructed at very ;mall cost, we recommend that the mupervisor order the foreman of the ihain gang to construct or have con itructed one of these drags for every ocAlity in which they gang may work luring the year 1907, provided the .onstruction of said drags does not 8 xceed one day; provided also that Ihe foreman of the grand jury fur lish the supervisor the specifications l'or constructing the said King drag. 5. The previous grand jury having ippealed to the court in its last pres mutment to notify the magistrates of the 4th and 7th townships to appear it this term of court and show cause why their books were not sent up at the November term of court for in spection; and, whereas, the above mentioned1 magistrates have as yet made no rep)ort, we, the grand jury, app)eal to the cour't and -ask it to take this matter up for further disposal. 6. Whereas, there are sections of public highways which runi alongside of the railroads, in many instances for several miles, whereon passing 3 trains often frighten horses and thus imperil the lives and property of persons traveling in vehicles; and, wvhereas, the changing .of such sec tions of the public highways would, in many instances, shotnteds tance between two points, we recom mend that the supervisor make such ~ changes wherever p)racticable. We also recommend, as a special instance of the above recommendation, that the road from Mr. W. E. Merchant's to Jalapa be changed to follow the old road bed of the old Laurens rail road, from Mr. W. E. Merchant's to Jalapa, thus shortening theo distance between these two points and1 avoid1 ing two hills, and also removing the peril of driving along side the raW road. The committee appointed by the foreman of the grand jury to investi gate the general condition of the county home reports that the inmates ai'e highly pleased with the tratment received at the hands of the present county home keeper; but 'that' the house occupied by superintendent needs another roof very badly. We, therefore, recommend that the super visor h)e instructed to buy the mater ial and. have the above named house covered at once. The committee appointed to inspect the county jail report that they find all rooms and cells in a good, clean, sanitary condition.
