To the Honorable 11*. C. Helmut, J

The (iraiul Jury respectfully|
make the following report. ^ e | (?}i
have investigated and passed;
upon all bills of indictments sub-1
mitted to us and have reported un
oui finding thereon to the court.
We have by a committee visit
ed the poor house and find it j
neatly ami well kept. The in , j).,
mates are apparently well cared , )
for. " , h
Wo call attention to tlie condi- hit
tion of the court house. The i
plastering overhead in the West
ern corner of the court room hasK'1
fallen and presents an unsightly \\
appearance. Wo notice that thoj vc

other places and lias been re-'
placed. Wo think it would bcjan
well to have the plastering knock ' lei
ed oil' and have same replaced by j
ceiling. II is now really in a j1(J
dangerous condition. |
The jail is well kept and is in .
fairly good condition, but we recommend
that some different ar- ou
rangement he made for supplying
heat to the jail without cndan : c|u
goring the building. The stove y
now in the jail is just above the
wooden stairway connecting the
second lloor where the prisoners I):l
are confined. In case of lire
breaking out the stair way would ter
most certainly catch and the only jn
communication to second story we
would be cut off. An iron stairway
in place of the present one
would be better. f?r
We commend the County Hoard wil
of Commissioners for the at ten- (jr(
tion they are giving the public nj
roads of the county. We notice
that where the chain gang has 1
been the public roads are im- no
proveu. we iiope tlie convicts ch;
will be sent to every portion of St<
the county as soon as praticable. jur
We find the convicts are well and
VGJ
humanely tieated.
Since our last report Chief '
Clerk Derham of the Comptroller
General's office with the foreman \vi]
of the Grand .lury has visited the tin
different county offices and made
a careful examination of the
books of the County Treasurer. 1,0
