Final Rrescntm nt of the Grand Jury i
of Williamsburg County.
I
To the Hotiorable I) A Townsend, i
Judge presiding at the fall term of i
court.
We the Grand Jury be? to present i
this our final presentment.
We have parsed upon all bills!
handed out to us by our worthy |
solicitor with careful consideration.
' We visited the jail and find same
well kept and prisoners well cared
1 for. Also we find that our reconi,
mendation at the spring term of
court has been complied with.
! We have examined the bonds of
various county officers and consider
. them all valid.
> We visited the chain gang and
; find it in fairly good condition. We
find th:it in rsiinv weather especially.
' when the wiud is blowing that the
rain blows in and wets the cab.
T E Salters, magistrate at Suiters,
has been reported for neglect of duty
and A M Gordon is a witness. We
recommend that this matter be looked
into.
The committee appointed at the
. first term of court for this year has
discharged their duty and their report
is here to attached.
t We recommend that proper steps
, be taken to have State witnesses be
more punctual upon attendance at
court, that the progress of the court
may not be impeded.
'We extend bur sincere thanks to
, your Honor for your charge and
courtesy 6hown us. Also to our
??inafrnMintic
woriuy jjuntiwji ivi limn uvuvuu
given lis by which we were enabled
, to discharge our duty.
Respectfully submitted,
J J Graham,
, Foreman.
To the Honorable D A Townsend,
Presiding Judge:
!. The undersigned, a committee of
the Grand. Jury, appointed at the
Februaiv Term of Court, 1902, to
investigate the various county offices,
beg Tespectfully to make this their
report:
1. The books in- the probate judge's
office, to wit: The docket of causes,
will Ixxik, journal, inventory, and
book of devises, we found properly
and neatly kept, and all matters jx-rtaining
thereto correctly index d.
fFlw. ^.,..1% K/wvl? in ooM nft'i/'ii jslmU'<2
X lit" t'ilou l/WI\ ill DIUU viuvv i'?v..u
that there is in the hands of the
probate judge, as public guardian,
for various minors, the sum of one
thousand and nineteen and 06-100
d dlurs, which money is on deposit in
the Carolina Savings Bank of
' Charleston, drawing 4 per cent
interest.
2. In the clerk of court's office,
we find that the following books, to
wit: Conveyance books, mortgage
^ books, judgment books and cash
book are in good shape and well;
kept, aud all other books and records |
> of his office are in proper place as j
i now required by law. His cash book j
shows a balance on hand belonging!
I to various estates, amounting to j
thirteen hundred and ninety and |
75-100 dollars, which said fuhd is
now on deposit with the Enterprise
Bank of Charleston, and the Bank
I of Kingstree. We would like to call j
. special attention to the "journal of J
( the court" required by law to be:
kept bv the clerk. These we find j
exceptionally well kept. ,
, 3. In the sheriff's office, we find
, that the writ book, sales book,
execution book, and the jail book are
kept as by law required, and all i
properly indexed. All tax executions
have been accounted for in
settlement with proper officers.
4. The offices of county treasurer,
county supervisor, and county
cn nari r> f/rn rl ^.n f of education Were
(
examined by us collectively, and all
) *
books found properly kept, and all
' moneys collected, as shown by the
^ books and vouchers are properly I
entered. The committee checked up
these offices and found all checks
issued and payments made properly;
' filed and entered. At the time of j
the writing of this report, the annual
settlement has not been made, and
I therefore, we cannot say how much i
money there is in the hands of the
county treasurer, but your committee, |
after making investigation, begs to
5 report that the financial condition of
! the county is second to none in the
State.

5. We regret to repot f i":i?t the
county auditor i.- cen-iter:.i !y i. hind
with his work, and i h?o thi.- lias
impeded the progres- of colh vtjng
taxes verv much. His books should
have been in the hands of the county
treasurer by the loth of Un'oher,
which would have euahle.l the
treasurer to have met his appointments
ill the different sections of the
comity. As it is, the rax collections
been (Felayed at least forty days.
We hope tlint the county auditors
will always have the bocks ready
for the treasurer by the time required
by law. We hojve that the delay ill
this case is due to some unavoidable
cause. We would recommend that
the said office of county auditor Ik*
provided with suitable cases in which
to keep the tax duplicates, as these
ure important records of the. county.
We are suprised to tind the assessments
of vacant Mots in town of
Kingatree far too low as compared
with the assessments in the other
incorporated towns in the county.
In many instances lots which the
owners value at fioai $400.00 to
$500.00 are assessed at "rom ?10.00
to $25.00. We regard this as unfair,
being against the interest of the
town of Kingstrce and the county,
and we respectfully recommend that
the attention of the hoard of equalization
be called to tliis matter, and
that steps be taken to have this
property assessed at a fair valuation.
We notice that there are numerous
cases where the property is r 'turned
at simply nominal values. We do
mean to charge any one with tax
dodging, but we think that all
property should be returned at a fair
valuation.
We are glad to report that since
the court house has been icpaired
and enlarged, the coroner has an
office in the court house. Weexainined
his office and found his luniks
neatly kept, and all records pertaining
thereto properly, rec orded as hy
law required. His unite has not
been furnished yet bur this v.ill he
done 0:1 demand upon the county
supervisor.

T^yL/V frequent desire to

"r 1 the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every,
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in50c. and$l. sizes.

wonderful discovery

A shattered nervous system nearly always *
leads to some affection of the heart, especially
where the patient's heart is weak from 1
hereditary or other causes. Dr. Miles' llt art
Cure is not only a great heart regulator, but t
it is a blood tonic which speedily corrects 1
and regelates the heart's action, enriches the ]
blood and improves the circulation. It will i
build you up just as it did Mr. Crawford r
whose .ctter tonows, ana greauy improve your
general health:
"I ha^e been so greatly benefited by Dr.
Miles' Nervine and Heart Cure that 1 freely
recommend them as the best remedies for
the disr ases they are recommended to cure.
When ,i began taking these medicines I
weighed scarcely 140 pounds, my nerves
were badly shattered ana my heart troubled
me a great deal. I had pam in my left arm
and shoulder, had difficulty In sleeping cn
mv left side, had freouent smothering spells
and my heart woula flutter and palpitate.
I could eat scarcely a^y kind of food without
suffering great distress, and was so restless
and nervous that I slept little night or day.
Now I am never bothered with my heart,
my nerves are steady as a die, I sleep well,
eat well and weigh 163 pounds. I am happy
now and am trying to make back the money
I spent for doctors who did me no good
while I was ill."?T. R. Crawford, Center,
