REPORT OF GRAND JURY
State of South Caorhna,
Couuty of Dillou.
f The Grand Jury beg leave to sub-!
gfciit their final presentment for the!
year 1920.
They have passed upon all bills*
handed to them by the Court and re-,
i turned same with their findings en- j
dorsed thereupon.
We have examined the books and J
reports of magistrates who have sub- i
mitted them for examination and;
those submitted were found properly,
kept and in good order. Some magis-,
Nl trates did not submit their reports j
and books for examination and I
we wish to warn them and to notify
them that they must do so by the
next term of this court or presentments
will be made.
We desire all our rural police and
other officers charged with the enforcement
of law to pay special a
tention to reckless driving of autoN
mobiles upon the public highways and
and endangering the lives of our people.
There seems to be an utter disregard
of human life and the rights
of others upon the public highways
by some drivers of automobiles and
this could be effectively diminished if'
our officers would be more strict in
fthe enforcement of the law.
All our roads and bridges are in
deplorable condition and need immediate
attention, especially the roads
and bridges across little Pee Dee
river.
f The chain gang is being properly
cared for and is doing good work for
the county and the superintendent of
the chain gang is deserving of commendation
for his faithful work.
The public buildings and grounds j
are in good condition and well kept.,
But we recommend that suitable,
locks be put upon the door of each
county office that will not permit of
entrance by any other person except'
the officer or his assistance, and tlir. j
no master key be used by any officer
for the purpose of entering any officel
except his own. And we recommend r
that locks In the court house and |
especially the Judge of Probate's office
be immediately repaired.
We desire to thank the officers of
the court for all courtesies shown u
in the discharge of our duty.
Respectfully submitted,
M. A. STUBB3, Foreman.

B. Y. Gibson, of the American
Rescue Workers in this city, personally
presented the above report to mej
and makes oath that to the best of,
his knowledge and belief it is true ,
and correct. | (
This the 10th day of September!
A. D., 1920. L
J. H. HAMER, Mayor.
They said: "If you do put a man
in Dillon he will have lots to do, but
getting the money to do it with is1
another matter."'
"The people of Dillon help all kinds ]
of causes 'far away,' and overlook \
things at home." I listened. Saw
the great need over this country and
placed Captain B. Y. Gibson in charge:
of the work in Dillon and trusted to j
the good people of Dillon, recognizing .
the merit and need of the work and
helpout. |
I was greatly surprised on going
over Captain Gibson's books to dis- j
cover the great beneficial work he has ;
been able to do and also how well
you have helped him along. Of;
course a few bills remain unpaid on
this date, but I believe the good peo-j .
pie of Dillon will enable Captain Gib- j
sen to bring to our National Council
and Conference a report to the effect
that "all bills are now paid in Dillon.
That Council is held October 22nd, ?
1920, and it will only take a little
pull to clear the accounts, mostly for
charity cases.
Captain Gibson's financial report
discloses that the donations and subscriptions
lie had had up to date total
$450.57 and the amount paid out in
actual charity relief totaled $666.41.
The collections from street meetings
made up the deficiency.
The unpaid bills are as follsw: ^
On furniture of home $200.00 ,
For doctors' bills 20.50 |
For grocery bills 38.74
For hospital bills 91.00 ,d
For furniture for others 25.00]
For burial accounts 94.55
Total $459.79 j
Quite a lot of money for Captain j
Gibson, but not very much for Dillon, j
if the good folks will only get to- "
gether.
Captain Gibson has devoted himself
to the good of your city and has de- j '
nied himself to a great extent that j
he might be a blessing, and now dear I
ones, won't wou just help and clear!
these accounts up and put his work
on a clear basis?
Yours very respectfully,
COL. HORACE BURTON,
National Organizer American Rescue
Workers.
