The grand juty for Colleton coun ty make this their presentment * They have passed upon all bills of ildiotment handed to them by solicitor and their findings upon the same are endorsed thereon. Owing to the fact of the advance of the time for bolding oonrt as fixed by the last session of the legislature, their various oommii-ties appointed at thr last term of this court are not us by the Board of Control. This let ter not being addressed to any mem ber, though received by one, cannot in oar judgment, be used and we will not further consider the same, acting on legal advice. The grand w ury present C A Mc Millan for wife beating and name as witnesses to prove tbe same Mrs C A McMillan and Calder Robertson. r They have noted that the recom mendations made by them in regard to the oondition of various public buildings in their presentment at the last term have been ignored, they will present the officers failing in their duty at tbe next term if their recom- # 0 mendations are still ignored. They call attention to the condi tion oi Jacksonboro Ferry, which is public and the fiat to carry passen gers across tbe river is nearly always sunk. Tbe supervisor should see after this at once. The public roads are at present, owing to the excessive rams in bad condition. We earnestly urge upon the attention of the super visor the consistent and persistent neglect of the road law, and the bene- fit accruing to tbe county by its ob servance, which it is his duty to en force. In conclusion the grand jury desire to express to ytur Honor their thanks for your charges which have made so clear to them their duties and desire also to tender thanks to the various officers of court for cour tesies extended.
