John S. Wilson, Presiding Judge. All indictments placed in our hands' hy the solicitor have ben duly consid? ered and returned to the court with our findings endorsed Hiervon. The Grand Jury presents herewith such other matters as appear to he of public importance and In acordanee with the instructions of the Presiding Judge. The Committee appointed to inspect the county jail, court house and Alms house have reported to the following effect; The jail now In) uso has been condemned time and again as unsafe and unsanitary and the lapse of time finds no improvement of a permanent nature. Mr. ?. W. Owens, the jailer, is an efficient, faithful and humane 'officer. He does the best he can under the circumstances. Sumter count:/ needs a new jail constructed In accordance With modern ideas hygiene and safety. The lands avail? able at this time arc inadequate for such a building as is necessary to meet reasonable requirements. We did urge upon our legislature to pass an act providing the necesary funds to build a new Jail, and they failed to do so. Tb*? alms house, a collection of small houses used by the inma.es are all in need of repairs, as is also the case with the Superintendent's cottage. There* are some leaks htat should be stopped in order to prevent raptd deteriora? tion, to say nothing of the heath and comfort of the people occupying them. Liberal use of whitewash inside and outside is recommended. The steps of some of the houses arcrotting down the fhirnneys are in had condition the fences need repair, in act. there id much work that should be done With? out delay. There is an annual appro? priation of $5r>00 for this purpose and only $28ti2.27 was spent, leaving a bal? ance of $2637.73 from 1019 appropria? tion. It was recommended that this work should have been Jone last year and unlcs it is done at once, the entire building wil rot. We investigated the court house and found it in the same condition as In our hist report. We are informed that the county board has employed an architect to make an estimate of the needed repairs, to the c >urt house. The report of the e ormnittoe em ru? ral schools is <o complete and of ne? cessity se? lengthy, having gone into all details. w*c are attaching it hereto as a part of this presentment. <>n account Of the Importance attacheel by tho grand jury to this document anel with the hope that publicity will tend to Im pre>ve conditions, the grand jury re? commend that this report be published in full in all the papers of the county. The committees on finance anel reads was duly appoint eel at the spring term of court, but are not yet ready to ma lee their report and have been continue d until the next term of cenirt. It Is a known fact that the speed laws of the OOUntv and state are being 1 violated with ?impunity by motor ve? hicles daily. The records show that within the past six months only five arrests ave been made by the rural police for speeding, #four of those in the past thirty days'and the fifth on the first of May. That; this violation of the law is dangerous to lives of the citizens, and to property, apd all vio? lations of the speed law should be prosecuted. The four rural policemen are em? ployed at an -expense of over $7000 per annum to the county. We lind that these i>olicemen are i nder the elirec tlon of the county board. The granei nry feels that better results will be ?obtained (without reflection upon any one) if these officers were under the direct control and orders of the sheriff of the county, and the grand jury so recommends. We feel that all the law enforcement officers (deputy j sheriffs and rural policemen) tf com blned under one head coulel and would produce better results. In dosing, we wish to express our appreciation of th?> courtesies and as? sistance rendered us by your Honor and all the officers of the court. CANDIDATE SEES PARTY LEADERS -.
