MAKES NOTICEABLE
FINAL PRESENTMENT

The Grand Jury is in Favor of

SALARIES OF TEACHERS
; SHOULD BE INCREASED
Attention Called to the Duties
of Township Supervisor Regarding
Public Roads
Tho Grand Jury last week made a
final presentment which was much
above the average Report made by
Grand Juries in this County; and on
account of the very important matters
handled by this Report, and the
high plane taken by the Grand Jury
in regard to matters of great moment.
the final presentment attracted
much attention from leading citizens
who heard it read in the Courtroom.

L III* I liu.ll |J' Iiuurui iwuv??o,
To His Honor I. W. Bowman:
The Grand Jury herewith makes
the final report for the term:
(1) We have passed upon all
bills handed to us by the Court and
have returned (hem to the Cour
with our report.
(2) A number of petit ease
which arc in the jurisdiction of magistrates
have been sent up unnecessarily
to tho Court of Sessions. It
would appear from this that magistrates
are neglecting their duty to
try such cases. In doing so they
waste time and money of the county.
XVe recommend that magistrates of
the county try these cases in which
the punishment within their jurisdiction
is sufficient for the misdemeanor.
<o) A committee of the jury has
investigated the physical condition
and management of the Couri
IH-ouse and of the Jail, and reports
them well conducted and in sanitary
condition.
(4) The Grand Jury recommends
to the Legislative Delegation (a)
that it introduce and support in the
General Assembly a law providing
ffor compulsory school attendance in
Unr>n: r*rnir?f\r fnr nnt" IpsK than t.hveo
months in each year: and also (bi i
that inncrcased facilities for coopera 1
tion between the State and County
road authorities be gvien and increated
appropriations for road c
building and repair. t
1 O) The Grand Jury recommends *
to the Legislative and school au- i
thorities "having jurisdiction, that the
salary of school teachers, espccally
of the higher grades be increased to
jeftnTorm to the increased duties of
. . . . , .. >
such positions and the lugner cosi ot
living.
' i 1
<<?) .Many complaints reach the
Grand Jury itself and the members 1
thereof of the neglect of duty by 1
Township Supervisors and the per- 5
t*mal observation of the members of
jthe Grand Jur> indicates that such
I
complaints are well founded. In
order to aid the proper enforcement
of the law, we recommend to the
County Hoard of Commissioners that
aD pay of township supervisors be
refused until each supervisor has divided
his township into proper road
sections, has appointed a competent
road overseer for each section, and
has recommended a proper division
of road hands among such overseers.
We also recommend that if these
duties be neglected by any township
untuiM-uftr for mon> than three
oupvi f m w. ...
months that he be removed from office
for cause under the statutes,
and new supervisor appointed.
(7) We report that the Huggins
Creek bridge in Floyd's township is
in had shape and should be repaired
before it becomes dangerous to the
travelling public.
(8) We report that no work has
been done in Conway town-ship on
the Conway and Cates Bay road during
the current year.
(9) We also report that no work
has been done on that section of the
S^oris and Camp Swamp road, between
Graham's store and J. L. Butler's
across Buck Creek during thr
current year; and that said road is
in very bad condition needed, both as
lo its surface and as to groum
bridges.
(10) The Clerk of the Circui
Court reports to his Grand Jury tha
his office has collected and. paid inb
the County Treasurer, during th
fiscal year ending June 90th. 191
the sum of $.'>407.46 as follows:
Recording fees $2,482.55
Kines 740.65
Ucenses 170.00

We attach hereto a special report \
nade to us at this time by Mr. M. J. ;
lullock, Sup't of Education. j
(11) In our former reports we
:avc called attention to the. financial
ondition of the county, investigation '
>f which was recommended to us by ,
he retiring Grand Jury of 1917. We
ippointed a committee consisting of:
Mr. R. L. Lane, i
Mr. Maybcrry Floyd, '
Mr. S. H. Harrelson, j
,vho made a preliminary survey o''
he work and found that the legislate
Joint Resolution passed in 19 U1
provided for a sufficient investiga-,
Lion to be made by the County Board i
of Commissioners of Horry County
nn or before Nov. 1st, of this year.
This investigation especially of the.
nr. flicl rii'1 < nf tho rountv. I
necessitates a great deal of detail
work which the Grand Jury did not
feel should be duplicated by itself
and the County Board of Commissioners.
We therefore have left the
completion of this investigation to
the County Board of Commissioners
and a copy of the report, as provided
by the Joint Resolution will be filed
with the next Grand Jury's report.
This work is now being done and,
while no fixed results can now t be
reported, the method of procedure
will give to the school authorities
much needed information as to how
the books should be kept as well as
what figures should be used in a correct
final settlement of school accounts.
(12) Our Grand Jury feels that
its advice to the people of Horry
County to support in every way the
President of the United States in our
war against encroaching autocracy is
unnecessary. But we cannot hut advise
that every extra day's workj
, that every dollar placed in War Saving
Stamps and bonds, that every effort
to satisfy the soldiers at the
, front, that our people are behiru
. them, should bo made bv each indivi
, dual person in the county. In aid
I ing our government we are given ai
opportunity to aid ourselves; an<
. ovprv act in the performance of oil
I ?
t ipecial duties under the present con
o ditions will benefit us as well as ou
0 government.

Respectfully submitted,
A. W. Barrett,
Foreman.

H? people in some instances fail I
to realise the hard place that the lo- i
cal exemption board has to fill. Some <
of the people instead of reading the (
newspapers and thus obtaining t
full understanding of the draft regulations
run to the members of the I
board incessantly to try to gain in- s
formation about the simplest rules |
that apply to the draft. The members
of the board are not allowed to
rest either night or day from the arduous
labors they M*e called upon to
perforin. They are consulted at all
hours at times when a call is about
to be made and a new lot of regisr
<?
trants sent off. Another source of;
frequent enquiries is about getting |
certain soldiers off on furlough to
nid in harvesting the crops they left
behind. Last Spring it was a common
practice to defer registrants for
a time until work in the crops could'
be done. This was discontinued hit-1
