community. We ask that the Solicitor
make or cause to be made an investi
gation thereof and take such steps as
may be necessa"ry to abate this nuis
ance if warranted under the law.
Our attention has been called to
House Bill No. 1240,. now pending in
the General Assembly of this. State,
entitled, A Bill to Provide for the
Payment of Salaries of School Teach
ers in all Schools in South Carolina
and to Appropriate Funds to Meet
Same. We have read this bill and
heartily approve same. We ask that
the Clerk of this Court be directed to
wire our delegation in the G<meral As
sembly asking their Support of this
bill.
We recommend that the old soldiers
* dependent on the county for a support
be paid the sum of ten dollars per
month instead of three dollars per
month as now allowed*
We have received the following re-
ports;
' Report of County Board of Com
missioners.
Report of State Board of Welfare.
' Report of Rural Police as to con-*
traband liquors seized since the last
term of court.
Report of Magistrate J. N. Wright.
These are the only reports received.
' * The rural police exhibited receipts
of Sheriff for three gallons and thi^e
pihts of liquors seized by them and
turned over to the Sheriff. The Sher
iff turned over to us three quarts of
liquor which was destroyed by us by
pouring same into the city sewers.
We renew the request of previous
Grand Juries that all Magistrates,
Game Warden and Peace Officers make
reports to us at the next and succeed
ing terms of this court.
We have appointed the following
committee to look after matters, com
ing within their province:
Committee on Public Roads and
bridges: J. R. Crawford, G. C. Peter
son, J^. Pitts Henry.
Committee on Schools: R. G. Smith,
W. B. Brooks, R. P. Nabors, J. K. Dan-
- iels, J. C. Miller, M. L. Motes.
Committee on County Offices: L. L.
Moore, S. G. Dillard.
Committee on Chain Gang: R. F.
Walker ,G. F. Adair, J. M. Rhodes,
J. W. Cooper. ,
Committee on Public Buildings and
Court House: B. W. Blakely, 0/L.
Hunter, J. R. Brownlee.
Each member of the Grand Jury is
to look into the general welfare of the
county so far as he can and not to con
fine himself simply to the matters
properly coming before the commit-
* tees of which he may be a member.
We hope- by this means to inculcate a
greater respect for law and to do our
part towards the upbuilding of the
county. v
In conclusion we wish to thank the
Judge and Court officials for the help
given us and courtesies extended us.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted,
S. G. DILLARD,
Foreman of Grand Jury.
