J To the Honorable (ieorge E Prince, Presiding Judge. j The grand jury in and for the county of Williamsburg beg leave to make this their final presentment for their year of service. During the year in which we have j served we have examined all the: county offices and reported their I c mdition,which was creditable to the j respective officers and to the county I at large.

We find that the hydraulic ram used to supply water to the jail is j tot) small for the purposes for which it is intended. We therefore recommend to the county Board of Commissioners to provide a ram of sufficient capacity to insure a plentiful supply of water at the jail and court house and install it as quickly as possible. We further recommend that a complete toilet be placed in the Judge's room, and that the floor be carpeted; also that a good desk be furnished for the use of the Judge --- ? .. f \ while conducting tne Dusiness 01 xne court.

We further recommend that the1 rooms occupied by jrrand and petit: jurors be thoroughly scoured and i cleaned and at least one-half dozen spittoons be placed in each room.and a sufficient number of chairs be provided for the use of the jury. The trash and loose papers lyinj? around in the Solicitor's room should be cleaned out and the election boxes be piled up in nice, regular order. We also insist that more insistent efforts be put forth to suppress the unlawful liquor traffic in Kingstree. Lake City, (ipides, Scranton. Salters, Greelyville, Anderson townl ship and in the county at large. We ' also call the attention of the magistrates throughout the county to the promiscuous and reckless shooting of fire-arms on the public highways. Even the Lord's day is not exempt from this pernicious habit. We urge our officers to use diligence 'in bringing these offenders against law and order to justice. We have acted on all bills of indictment handed us by the Solicitor at the present term. We thank your Honor for the full and lucid instructions given us. All of which is respectfully submitted.
