inmate, and find as follows, that out
of thirty-six inmates, there are four
viz: Aaron Pinson, male, Lizzie
Weaver, Rosa Munday, Martha Car
roll, females, who are physically and
mentally able to earn their own liv-
ing. We also find that there are four
teen others, six white and eight COL
ored, who need constant medical at
tention.

We would recommend that the four
mentioned in said report as being able
to earn their own living be discharged.
We would recommend that the four.
teen, who need constant medical at
tention, be given it, and that a regular
physician be employed to visit the
Door house twice a week at least, or
oftener if necessity should exist. This
can be done at 500 per annum, and
should be done at once. The poor un-
fortunates need it, and humanity de-
mands it. We c8ll the attention OF
the County Commissioners to this and
earnestly insist that it should be done.
al once. We also find that although
there is chapel built for the purpose,
they have had preaching only twice in
eight months, and as the moral con-
dilion of the paupers is quite as bad as
their physical, we would recommend
that the County Commissioners en-
ploy some minister to preach to them
twice month, and to take charge of
them as pastor. This can be done for
$50 per year. Surely Abbeville Coun-
ty with its wealth, intelligence and
civilization can afford this small pit
lance per annum for such purpose.
Economy in some matters is COM
Inendable, but not in this.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
Complaint having been made as to
condition of certain roads and bridges,
the foreman of the Grand Jury caus-
ed to be published notice to this ef-
feet, "That all such complaints must
be made in writing, and handed to
some member of the Grand Jury on
or before first Monday in june" In
answer thereto certain communications
hereunto attached, marked B., were
received to which we call the atten-
ton of the County Commissioners,
and would recommend that they serve
each road overseer with copy of the
road law, notifying them that all roads
in Abbeville County must be worked,
and put in good condition between lst
and 18th of August, or they will be
delt with according to law.
LICENSE LAW.
We would call the attention of the
liquor dealers of Abbeville County to
this law, in order that they may see
clearly its requirements aud their re-
sponsibility.
We would recommend that all IL
cense paid for selling liquors, be paid
to the County instead of the towns.
DE LA HOWE ESTATE.
AS matter of information, we here
with append a statement relative to
this estate, furnished us by w. H.
Parker, Esq, Treasurer of the board
which in our opinion reflects much
credit as to its management, and we
would recommend that sale of part of
landed. estate be made, 50 that in the
near future the institution may again
be opened, and thereby carry out the
intent of the benefcent donor.
We have examined the returns in
the Judge of Probate office and find
that they correspond with this state
ment.
We have examined all the official
bonds and to our best knowledge and
belief we believe them to be full and
sufficient.
We have examined the Fee Bill and
compared the same with the charges
made in the various offices aud find
that they conform thereto.
Respectfully submitted,
w. IT. Branch, Foreman.
