STAT' TAXES.
The app'opriation bill of the state
legislature looks to be a pretty large
one this year' and is a large one, but
it would be well to consider what the
ml)oney is to be spent for before con
dening it. Even after a study
of this kind it Is possible that sensible
and patliotic men will doubt the wis
doi of such large cxplienlditires.
Without mentioniig the items in de
tail it may be pointed out ifirst that
nei aly $1,.l0,000 of the $6,000,000 t)ap
prioplrialion goes for education, ehari
table institutions, the mentally afflict
(d, the care of eri mi nals and for pen
sionIS. Of this the state colleges and
training schools receive over a mil
lion and a half, .while common schools
receive nearly a mnillion, tlie latter' he
ing left largely to local spil)port. Add
edl to thi:; $1 ,.'ti30)0 is another half
million for health, ioads and the i
diciary, leaving a little over a million
dollars for Ihe expenses of the "state
.enili ment' and a few smaller interi
ests for whic'h the state nrvs.
South Carolina has committed itself
to a br'oad policy towards ceucation,
the carie of Ile iinsane and inir and
towrIl'd its Coifederale soldiers. In
these social atilviii's the larger part.
of the state's tax funds .ire expended,
the allnilts for administat ion ex
plelss iln Columbia being coinmpara
tively small, though, of course, it is
possible that they niight ,'be madte

Presentment of the Grand Jury.
The presentment of the grand Jury
is as follows:
To His tllonor, the Hon. T. S. Sease,
Presiding Judge:
We have passed on all bills handed
us by the Solicitor.
Thuis being the first session of the
Court for this year, we have not had
opportunity of looking into public af
fairs of the County, but have alppoint
ed committees as follows: On County
ollicers, on schools, roads and bridges,
county home, jail, chain gang, and
ublite buildings, which committees
will, In thle time betweenl this and
another presentment, perform i these
duties and make known their find
ings in a future report.
We would recommend that the Mag
Istrates of the County investigate
carefully cases sent up to Court, to be
surc that the testimony warrants an
investigation. We would also recom
mnend that where a case is sent 11l) to
this Couirt that a bond be reqtitir ed
that will more nearly guarantee the
appearance of the defendant or to pro
tect the County from loss on account
of' isufileient su1rety.
The Supervisor's report has been
tiled with us and we have exanineld
same varefully. We f1id that a num
ber of )ri(lges in the County are oit
of reiair, and the Supervisor informs
us that Ie will reach thesc as early as
ossible unuder prevailing conditions.
hle report shows very little funds
available for this work at this timlie.
We would recommend that the
roads he relledled where it can be
doIe by sitraightening and placing
sfalme oil tile proper grades. The proper
drailing of the roads to prevent wash
ing out is, in our opinion, very im
port at. This report also shows that
aboit forty itiles of road has beeil
(op-soiled.
-We regret that the "Flu" which is
11oW -o prevalent, has it) som extent
inteirferred with tie sch-.O wnw' of
ourll county. Iluit froin1 person01al 01,
servatiOs the schools (.f a ou' co) inty
are (doing sd'plen(did work. S.Feral is.
tricts have voted extra levies to
make the schools more eficient and
also to build more enmm1illodiols school
hotises in which to teach.
It is our opinion that thle cemipU
sory eduheation1 law is being enforced
Ji In le counlty, .which has added 1111111
hers of childrel on 1h0 olls of the
scllools, who have heretofo .- 'k di -
juived of regilar aticidalce.
In conclusion we dei' 0 Illink
the Presiding Judge an.d the cou rt of
ficials for. the colrtesles shown us: all
of which is most respectfilly sub
1mitted.
