Tho court roconvoned at live o'clock to hear a motion for thc disoliago of tho partios charged with tho killing of Milton Liles, colored, in Smithville last May, thooaso having passed two terms. His Honor, after hearing argu ment, decided that thoy could not bo discharged, but admitted them to'bail on thoir own recognizance. On Thursday morning tho fol lowing convicts woro brought in and sent?n ced: William Rogers, a colored boy .about twolve years old, found guilty of larceny, received three months in tho chain gang. Goorgo Bishop and Henry May, two colored men who wanted to cut a dash in some of Mr. Weath . orly's clothing without paying for thom in June last, got each six months in tho chain gang. General David, colored, found guilty of going into Mr. J. P. Bunch's smoko house and stealing a lot of bacon, ono year in the ohain gang. His wife, Fannie David, was granted a now trial. This closed tho business of General Sessions and tho Court of Common Pleas was called. On Friday afternoon His Honor liad court adjourned to Monday morn ing. A numbor of important casos are to be disposed of and court will likely be in session until Friday. Tho following is the final pre continent of the Grand Jury: GRAND JURY'S RETORT. To the Hon. Ernest Gary, Presiding Judge: The Grand Jury beg leave to submit this their final report for this term ol thc said court. 1. The committee which was appoint ed by thc Grand Jury to examine the books and offices of the county officers have duly made their report; that they find thc same in good condition and well kept. 2. They have examined thc public buildings and as regards the court house they recommend that six new desks be placed in the court room for thc use of the members of the bar; that locks bc placed on the jury rooms and passages; that the roof of the court house bc re ?aired; that a- table bc placed in the berifTs office and shelves for holding the books that now have to be piled Upon the floor; that new patent cases bc pro vided for holding the papers and records in the Clerk's office, and that shelves be placed in the Auditor's office. 3. They find that thc jail is as well kept as its construction wdl allow, and the prisoners are well led. They recom mend that the County Commissioners take the proper steps to have an act passed by the Legislature p aiding for the building of a new jail after thc most approved pattern, with steel prisons, and that the same be built in a new locality, thc material of thc old building to bc uti lized fer that purpose in so far as thc same can be made available, and that the act ot the Legislature also provide lor private subscriptions to thc fund nec essary to be ralseci to carry out this rec ommendation. 4. They are pleased to note the great improvement of the public roads by the usc of the convict labor, and they rec ommend that the County Commissioners, or county Supervisor, be instructed to purchase two mules and a wagon, road plows and such other road working ma chinery as will be necessary to carry on the work more successfully, They would call the attention of the Supervisor to the imperfect manner in which some of the work bas been done. They would rec ommend that no ditches bc cut less than three feet wide, and that all trees and stumps be taken up by the roots where thc same stand in a line with the ditches, and that thc ditches be not cut around them as heretofore. They present the road leading from the Cheraw road at Weatherford's blacksmith shop to the Gardner's Bluff road and recommend that it be made the legal width, They present the crossing near J. F. Brcedcn's house on the public road leading from Adamsville to Bennettsville, where the railroad crosses the same. The bridge is too narrow and should be made lull width of the public road. They present a like crossing near the residence ot T. M. Adams as being too narrow and dangerous, and the C. & I), railroad Co., should be required to put the same in good condition immediately. They pre sent a like crossing on the road leading from Bennettsville to Little Rock, near the residence of James Manning with a like recommendation; and they also pre sent a like crossing on the public road leading Irom Bennettsville toLumbcrton, near the church at Dunbar, with a like recommendation. 5. They make the following special ?resentments, to wit : They present ohn Munnerlyn and Robert Munnerlyn for shooting Silas Coker with a gun and pistol in Brownsville townsnip in this county June 29th, 1895. They present Charles Hubbard for assault with intent to kill with a gun on James McRae in Hebron township on the 20,th of July, 1895. Respectfully submitted, C. S. MCCALL, Foreman.
