The fonnal presentment of the grand jury, over the signature of R. S. Williams, foreman, is as follows: To His Honor, K. (\ Dennis, the presiding judge, at the December 1926 term of Court of General Sessions for Kershaw County, we, the Grand Jury, wish to make our final present: We have passed on all bills handed us by the Solicitor. The court house and grounds are in fair condition. We recommend that the proper authorities have awnings placed over the west window of the county treasurer's office, also the magistrate's Office?the summer afternoon sun makes it impossible to remain in them during the summer afternoons. The County Board of Directors has recently had the county jail building painted inside and out, this improves the looks of the jail building and helps to preserve 'he permanent plant. The equipment of the jail is very satisfactory with the exception of the plumbing. The County Hoard has under consideration the plans for overhauling 'ho entire plumbing system of the jail, and when same is complete the jail will be in very satisfactory condition. The prisoners are as well cared for as is practical with the present facilities. The present jailor is keeping the premises remarkably clean under conditions. The county chain-gang is at present located convenient to tho work of building roads, the prisoners are well cared for; tvui?u?single case of sickness is reported in the prison camp. Under the supervision of Mr. C. A. Johnson the chain-gang is building excellent roads, and is moving rapidly. The farm for the poor is rented and the paupers are paid a monthly allowance and allowed to remain with their people. The bridges throughout the county are in excellent condition, with hut few exceptions. Wo wish to call attention to the bridge over Sawney's Creek. This bridge should either he condemned or lebuilt. as " it appears to he very dangerous to traffic. The roads in place- a:c in had condition and need immediate attention. We especially call attention to the approach to the .Jordan Mil; bridge. The foreman of the grand jury witnessed the annual settlement of the count\ offices with the comptroller general, and found the hooks and records neatly kept. Our attention is called to the fact that the Hoard of County Directors, under the orders of this court, hns(, made settlement with Mr. D. M. MeCaskill, former county treasurer, upon the shortage charged in th? audit of W. S. Sweeney, and that of the $10,16.1.OS deposited by Mr. McOaskill with the chairman of the board of directors to cover this shortage the county has retained $4,940 15 as actually due, and has returned to Mr. MeCaskill $5,214.81. Atiditor B. C. Wallace in bin report mentioned below states that he haa examined thin settlement, and apnroVes the same, and that the county interests huvo been protected therein. An audit covering the period since June 30, 1026, to which Mr. Sweeney's audit extended, has been made by Jl. C. Wallace, C. P. A., under the direction of the county legislative delegation ami the report made by! him has been filed with us by Senator b. O. I< underburk. This audit finds that for the period from June 10, 1026 to July 2b, I U2<> when his successor took the office of treasurer, Mr, McCuskill has not accounted for funds to the amount of $(>,405.10. Th?s audit is submitted herewith to this court and to the solicitor that such action as may be proper may be ' taken. The Superintendent of Education has filed with us a report in writing of the condition of the schools, and we are pleased to find that the schools of the county seem to be progressing in a satisfactory mannei under properly qualified teachers. We especially commend tin- steps taken by the Superintendent of Kducation to >et that the sinking fund i of the different school districts fori the retirement of school bonds are I properly segregated and kept senar- ! ately Ji'orn 'he other -rhool funds.
