What time is it When a clock strikes 13 ? Judge: Wc the Grand Jury of Cherokee county make the following present ment : We have carefully examined tin- county ollices and lind them neatly and well furnished. ' We lind the books of the various ! county officers well kept and the I officers kind and courteous. We again call the attention of the County Commissioners to the imme diate need of a jail. The present ac commodation is inefficient, insecure and should not be tolerated by a re spectable people. We reccommetid that they will take such steps as to relieve us of this disgrace. Many people in the county tire charged with fornication and adultry, | and wc* ask tlie different ma^i Urates to have them arrested and bound over to trial. The names of some of the parties charged with tiiese offen ces will be handed to the solicitor. We recommend the county com missioners purchase the necessary chairs for tlie comfort of the jurors and court. We find that I. G. Surratt, magis trate at Gaffney, on or about the ioth | of June, 1897, imposed u fine of ten] dollars on one Z. B. Sumner and took a chattel mortgage for the same ! which lie afterwards collected and has failed to enter upon the docket, either the case or the collection of the same, nor has it been paid to the county. We thank the presiding judge and the solicitor for their uniform kind ness to us during the session of court. E. P. M Af OMSO.V, Foreman.
