We find that the Master Jn Equi ty is using a rented office at a cost of about $1(10,00 to the county per annum. We Itnd further that the School Com missioner has no office at all. mid that the Clerk of Court is vcry.much crowd ed and that the records are very inse cure against loss in the event of fire— therefore, we recommend that a suita ble lire proof hilukdiffilding sufficiently large bp erected that it may he occupied, by the Clerk of Court and that offices now occupied by Clerk be given to (School Commissioner aud Master in ..Equity. 5th. We found Insecure the bonds of the following county officers: Clerk, Bheriff. 4 Auditor, Treasurer and Super visor and recommended that they be strengthened in our March present ment We find, upon invesifegaiion, that nothing has been done In the prem- laea.. J 6th. We find on the Barnwell and Bamberg public road at Roliert High tower’s mill the road tytul bridge in a dangerous condition and recommence that immediate attention be gifen to the repair thereof; otherwise we find the reads Iman improved condition and good substantial work lias been and Is being doife on the causeways.

Hammet, Esq., Foreman and Members of the Gram* Jury, Gentle men : In obedience to your order I . have carefully examined the various offices In Barnwoll county and beg leave to make the following report:- 1 find all the offices In Barnwell County neatly kept, the officials prompt and attentive upon their duties. By your order 1 have examined the following Bonds, W. O. Simms, Clerk, J. W. lasEpaafrr sh,tuULu. u. RUey. rAisurer, W, T. nu the same in- heater Auditor, A; F. Free, T Cave, Superviso^und tin sufficient. I I find no record in the Auditor's and Treasurer’s offices of any annual set tlement between said offices as re quited by law but received assurances from Auditor a id Treasurer that such settlements had bc«n niii'ie on tbe 2Sih June last and that papers had been turned over to Coi^ptroller General for his approval and although they had written repeatedly to Comptroller Oeli.eral to return said papers the same had not been returned. I call your attention‘to the following claims . filed and approved in the County Supervisor's office—No. 90, I)r. M. Bellinger for holding post mortem examination June 23d 1894, filed De cember 31st 1894, for $-10.00 and ap proved for $5,00. NO. 133, Dr. S.' C, M. Ackerman for. .holding post mortem examination December tffith 1*91,-filed January 10th 1895, for $10.00 and ap proved for f 10.00. No. 299, Dr. W, S. Havener for holding post mortem ex amination Feb. 2ml 1895, two weeks after interment, filed April 1st 1895, for $25.25 approved for $3,00. No. 350, Dr. M. jBellinger, for holding post mortem examination January 20th 1895, and filed April 1st 1895, 00 and approved for $15 00. \ ' '1 he minutes in the SuperviRor's of fices show that Dr.tM.* Bellinger was elected pn January 10th 1894 physician to i’oorHouse and Jail, hut no amount put down as salary. I find, however, fromduc claims for above services that the comfietlsation paid Is at tire rate of $100.00 per annum. Also on April 1st 1895 Dr/ M. BeUingeF was elected physician to chain gang and toghe certificates to all persons claiming ex emption from road duty, salary for same $125.00 per annum. There is nothing on the minutes to show when the Chain.gan'g 'began operation hut Supervisor states -that the chain g-ng came into existence April 8th, 1895. April 1st 1895 the minutes show that the Captain of Chain Gang’s compen sation was placed at $25 00 per month and the Guards at $15.00 each and that Andrew Kirkland, Captain or overseer, and H. M. Goodson and Coonle Kirk land, Guards, were elected. July jst 1*95 it was resolved that Uie County Supervisor make rules, for the gov ernment of the chain gang and that lie have power to discharge all employees not compTyftig with said rules. I find from claims presented by II. M. Good- son beginning August. 8th 1895, and from Claim Book that he lias been paid $20.09 per mouth as Captain of Chain dang but find no recordon minutes of his ever having been elected to that of fice. I find from claims presented by J. S. Connelly, beginning July 9tli 1895 ami frora Claim Book that lie has 1 e tt paid $!5.00 per month as Guard on Chain Gang but find no records on the minutes of Ivin ever having been elected to that office.

To them and to the general sublie I beg to express my sincere be nef that belter day* than we have known since the outbreak of the war between the State* are just dawnlngon us. The busine** experience of thirty- five active years has taught me to look ahead and I sm sure that I am not mis taken in making this prophecy. So strong is my confidence that I have during my recent long visit to the leading Northern cities secured tho Grandest Stock of General Merchandise that I have ever handled or that any merchant has ever brought to South Carolina. Perhaps I may have over bought, but I think not, for I found that the Panic had held Northern manufac turers and wholesalers by the throat more cruelly than It had laid hands on the farmers of our State. They had to sell, [bought. And the proofs that I was fortunate crowd my store rooms and ware houses and invite by their va riety, excellence and ci7?!$ipue»s the pat ronage of all who wisely want all that they can get for their money, cotton or other produce. Out of this vanishing panic have come these sound new re quirements of business tlist producers and consumers must get neater togeth er aud that tho day of high price* Is gone forever. Acting on those princi ples I have bought from first hands In all lines snd taken advantage of every fair opportunity that my presence and cash down put within mv reach.
