GRAM) JURY PRESENTMENT.
County in Good Financial Condition.
00% ot Taxes Paid.
(A copy of the following was pre1
Jr pared for the last issue of The Herald
but was misplaced before it ever
reached this office, therefore it was
not published last week.)
To the Honorable Circuit Judge, S.
W. G. Shipp, judge presiding at Bamberg
in the Second Judicial District.
The grand jury having finished its
work as submitted by the court, herewith
presents its findings of fact on
the various matters herewith sub
k*v
mitted.
. I. We have examined all of the
county offices and find everything in
excellent condition; especially do we
bring to the court's attention, the
finances of the county, and comments
as made by the representative of the
comptroller General's office, to wit:
Amount of Money.
Expended from July 1,
1920, to July 1, 1921, for
county purposes $78,053.86
For schools 62,188.47
Cash on hand and in banks
July 1 49,585.32
And the said report summarized,
further shows that the officer in|f
' " ' specting, says: That -the county is
in better shape than any county in
the state, or at least among the very
best; that 96% of all the taxes have
been collected, leaving only 4% for
delinquents and other causds.
Through our representative, we
have inspected the county chaingang
and its operations, and we are glad
to say that we find the prisoners are
well cared for, well fed, and required
to do good honest work.
n. County Roads.
While the county has built a pub1
* lie highway from New Bridge on the
Orangeburg line, to Bufords Bridge,
on the Allendale line; a road entirely
across our county. Also to Olar and
also a road to Ehrhardt. Also the
Bamberg-Colston road and is now
building the state highway from Bamberg-Denmark-Lees
on the Barnwell
county line. These are good roads
and are a credit to the officers who
have built them, yet there are other
communities which should be provided
as speedily as may be practii/
/ , cably, good roads; and we have directed
to us a petition from sundry
persons from the eastern part of the
county, especially representing the
people of the Buchhead part- of the
county, and along the old Charleston
road near the Colleton line, asking
that work be done upon their public
, roads and that they be opened up to
the proper width.
We have acted upon this petition,
and through our representative, have
called the supervisor before our body
and we have the assurance from him
that as soon as the state highway, the
portion thereof from Bamberg to
? -r\ i at or? hv tho r?rm n
fJLWiima.ua., id v-vuuwj v?*v
ty chaingang, which should be within
three months, -that he will then take
|;V np the section referred to by the petitioners,
and bring these roads up
Pto the proper standard, which was
gratifying to your body.
We have also -taken into consideration
the road tax of $5i00 per capita
on those liable to road duty, and find
that this is onerous during times
such as we have had this year, and
recommend that the road tax he reduced
to $2.00.
While on the subject of roads, we
beg to say: That while the county
has mileage of first class roads, it has
issued ijo bonds for roads and has
- \ paid.for all of its roads by direct taxv
a>tion and now has a balance of $45,616.67,
on hand as of July 1.
III. Magistrates.
As a rule we find that the magistrates
are doing their duty, but some
complaint has been made to this
body, that some of the magistrates
have refused to issue warrants
against parties that have gotten monfnnrts
and nroDerty by giving
? O ? ? c , - . _ _
checks where there were no funds .-to
meet the checks in this way, the parties
parting of their property for
v worthless checks have been made and
sustained considerable losses and the
evil habit of giving checks is being
fostered because the magistrates,
some of them at least, would not
grant warrants for those so offending.
And we would ask your honor
-for a declaration of the law upon this
subject so that it may be made public.
IV. Public Schols.
We are glad to say that the schoo]
system of this county last year had at
least a seven months term, while all
of the graded , schools ran the full
nine months. We are further happy
to call your attention to the very
high standard of the schools at Bamberg,
Ehrhardt, Denmark, Hunter's
hapel and Olar. The Bamber?

Ehrhardt School Opens.
Ehrhardt, Sept. 13.?The opening
exercises of the Ehrhardt school were
! held in the school auditorium yesteri
day morning. The interest that is
! being taken by the people in this
i community in the education of the |
youth was evidenced by the large!
number present, the large auditorium i
being filled to its capacity. The elo-|
quent address delivered by Dr. C. E.I
Burts, of Columbia, was interesting. |
enlightening and inspiring. With
the enrollment totaling near 180, and
i taking into consideration the able
! corps of teachers secured, the great
interest manifested by the board of
trustees, the patrons and friends of
the school, there is every reason to
believe that this will be one of the
most successful sessions in the history
of the school.
Dr. and Mrs. Hucks Entertain.
On Monday evening Dr. and Mrs.
J. H. Hucks, in a delightful and enjoyable
manner, entertained the
young folks who will be soon leaving
for the various seats of learning in
this and other states. Those who are
making preparations to leave within
the next week are: Clyde Griffin,
who will enter Mount Pleasant Col
legiate institute, Mt. Pleasant, N. C.;
Lyles Ehrhardt, Xewberry college;
Cornelius Brabham, Bailey; and Furman
Roberts, Furman university:
Earle Griffin and C. T. Bullock will
return td the University of South
Carolina, James Roberts and Claude
Copeland to Wofford, and Richard C.
Roberts to the Citadel.
Death of Mrs. McKenzie.

community will wish to add addition-!
al buildings and we recommend that'
the people be allowed to vote upon
the question of the additional buildings,
and making additional improvements
to -their already existing plant.
We also recommend that at least two
additional teachers be employed for
the Bamberg school.
V. Court House.
The equipment in the -treasurer's
office is not sufficient to meet the
needs of that office, and we recommend
that the supervisor be directed!
to secure the proper equipment fori
the treausrer's office. I
We thank your honor for the courtesies
extended to us as a body dur
ing this term of court.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Base Ball Season Ends.
The Ehrhardt base ball team
I wound up its season of forty-odd
j games Friday by winning from Fair!
fax by a score of four to one. Purcell,
whd started on the mound for
the home team, retired at the end of
| the third, with the score one to one,
j on account of a sore arm. The jinx
I pursued Purcell from the beginning
| of the season to the end. With no
[ catcher to hold him he was forced to
do without his fast one in most of
his games and that fast ball was his
main stock of trade. Though -the
rest of the stuff made one of the TriCounty
league's official umpires (not
the one residing in Ehrhardt) say
that he was the league's best.
Continually handicapped by poor
support and ineffectual receiving,
caused by injuries, etc., he was yet
able to shine in a number of contests.
* -i~ T"* _
Among tiiem one agamsi rainax
which resulted in a scoreless tie and
in which he allowed but two hits, the
one at Springfield against Pollock in
which he allowed five scattered
singles, walked no one and lost the
game on three disastrous errors. In
another game with Springfield at Ehrhairdt,
in which they did not have a
look in the entire game, also one at
Allendale, when his battery mate was
Gross, of Wofford, he defeated the
best team Allendale ever got together.
Purcell's cup of troubles was
filled out by. a sprained ankle, a
sprained knee, and several sore arms
| during the season. Through all tnis i
he was grinning Purcell, the only
pitcher that could stand in his box,
j see his team throw away the game
through errors, and grin and pitch
harder than ever.
The rest of the pitching staff was
followed by the same jinx as Faber
hearse, who has pitched college ball
j in four states, was sick most of the
season and, not being worked prop|
erly, hurt the three inexperienced
younger pitchers.
The team started off winning in the
[ early part of the season but dissatis|
faction that crept in and the poor
! support of the fans in general deI
moralized it completely and was the
cause of the poor showing made in
the league. It was only through the
continual support and encouragement
I of a very few fans that the team was
| able to keep the field. Mainly among
I these were Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Copej
lnd, Dr. J. H. Hucks and J. P. Griffin.
