State of South Carolina,
County of Williamsburg.
To His Honor George ? Prince,
Presiding Judge:
We, the grand jury, beg to make
this our final presentment:
We hare examined carefully all
bills handed us by the solicitor and
have made return to this court of
findings.
^We examined the county jail and
found it to be in better condition
than we have ever known it. The
prisoners are not only well cared for
but the cells and corridors are also
clean and *611 kept. We commend '
the jailer. Capt W D Pitch, for his
splendid care and attention to the
oounty jail. 1
The chain gaug we found in its 1
usual good coudition so far as the '
prisoners are concerned. They ap- i
peai to be well fed and cared for,
and the portable jail bedding,etc , to i
be clean and in order. The live i

pear to lack proper food and atten- <
tifn, The roads and bridges of the
Oofluty are in the!? U8Ual poor COtl- 1
dition and very little progress, if
pnv, is being made towards their improvement.
The matter of Magistrate G W
Davis, improperly charging cost' in
an action by the State against
James Carmichael, which was call- j
ed to onr attention by your Honor, 1
has been investigated, and we find <
that his report made to the treasur*
er on May 14, 1907, is irregular.
We, therefore recommend that the
said G W Davis be required to make
a full and complete statement of
this case to this court.
We are informed by the jailor
that the supervisor has failed to
provide changes of clothing and ?
soap for prisoners in jail, as directed
by rule of Judge Memminger at
last term of court.
A committee of the grand jury
appointed to examine the county offices
submit with this their report,
which is hereto attached.
We desire to thank your Honor
for able and lucid changes of law
and onr duties and the solicitor for
courtesies shown.
Respectfully submitted,
Hugh McCutghek,
Foreman.

County of Williamsburg.
To His Honor George E Prince,
Presiding Judge:.
We, the undersigned, a special
committee of the grand jury, aprmintpd
to make a recess examine
r
tion of the county offices, beg to
Eobmit our report.
The office of Clerk of Court we
found in good condition. The books
are neatly kept and the work of the
office is as near up as is practicable.
The work of re-indexing the records
of this office is well under way and
when completed will relieve an unsatisfactory
condition of this office
which has long existed. We recommend
that this office be fitted with
suitable cabinets and files for the
proper keeping of records and papers,
and that the office be made
fireproof. The Clerk's cash book we
found correct and the money in his
?
hands deposited in the local bunks.
Tim ,1 mlof Piobute's office is
neatly kept. The f 11 mis in his jm
hands as public guardian are deposited
in local buiks, and disbursements
made by inm are receipted
and receipts tiled. The floor of this j,tf
office is in a decayed condition and
, . . viz
we recommend tint same be repair
ed, and that th'S office be made tire- 1
proof. '
The books in the Auditor's office 0
are well abd neatly kept. The an- u 11
nual setth-Rpnt has not yet been we
had with the tresisnrer, but the dup- t10
licates have been completed and set- ne<
tiement will be had as soon as tlie a'J'
Comptroller can attend. We also :
recommend that this office be made in(
fireproof.' 1S 1
Tne office of tne Supt of Educa- wa
tiou and Treasurer were examined ^
together so as to check the books of
each office by the other. Both were cir
found to be in good condition so far lt0
as we were able to judge from the *av
books at the time of examination. T,n
The Supervisor's office we fouiyl ,Qt
in an unsatisfactory condition. ^1
Practically no books were kept in
aid office from April nntil oor ex- aPJ
amination. Claims ordered paid att'
were not entered and no minutes of 1
the office are kept to show the ron- mo
tine work. The condition of this ha?
office was such that it was impossi- for
ble for this committee to check ert
DO mo yga
The Sheriff's office was found in
neat condition and all books well 1
kept. Funds in bis hands are de- the
posited in local banks and proper wil
balances from cashiers shown. you
The office of the County Board of
Control was examined and the ^
books fonnd neatly kept. The sys- jj0r
tern of bookkeeping in this office is gnc
soch, however, that we are unable
to obtain a clear knowledge of the
actual condition of the three dispen- ^
aaries in this county.

GRADED SCHOOL ANNEX. \
Work Commenced last Week oo Net
$10,000 Bulldleg.
Work was commenced last week
on the annex to the graded school
building. Mr E V Richards is the
architect and the contract has been
let to MrW R Grimes. It is only a
few years since Kingstree built a
$12,000 school building, which was
thought entirely adequate for years
to come. But such was not the
Case, and it became necessary to
build this annex almost as large as
the original structure. The new
building will cost about $10,000,
and from the plans exhibited, it
will be quite a handsome addition. T
All this denotes a healthy growth I
for Kingstree and those who builded
on a basis of educational facilities
"builded wiser than they knew." _

A motorist who was touring in

i little fun at his expense, the motorist
began:
''What is the difference, Pat, be;ween

The native looked,at the queaaoner
a minute or so and then redied:
"Not a great deal. The donkey
