Presentmeps of Grand Jury.

To His Honor, J. G Klugb, Presiding Judge: ::
We respectfully report to your Honor,
that We have passed upca all bills of indic'-
ment given us by the Solicitor.
ln Difference to your Honor's instructions,
to the Graod Jury, We have made inquiry for
witnesses to throw light upon the alleged
lynching of ooe Simon Cooper, and have
gone as far as we deemed n cessary to learn
that it would be useless to undertake to get
such evidence as would warrant us in pre-
senting any citizen for the alleged lysching
Of said Simon Cooper.
We further report tha, we have inspected
the public institutions and the county Offices
and would state asfcllows:
That We found 81 inmates in rhe Poor
House, 2l of whom are white acd colored,
.and all seemed to be well cared for. The
dwelling Of the Superintendent needs some
small repairs in several places, and We also
fnd ,ha, two of the buildings occupied by
said inmates require slight repairs, and, in
our judgment, all the repairs could be made
at cost Of net more than $40. In conoec-
ton with the above we recommend that the
Superintendent of the Poor House be furnish:
ed suitable book, in which he shall keep an
itemIzed account Of the purchases of all
things necessary and authorized By law for
the comfort Of the inmates, and that be shall
also keep vouchers for said purchases.
We find l3 prisoners 10 the Comfy Jail,
and they seemed 10 be we'll cared for. The
general appearance Of things ehout tie Jail
was good We recommend that the front
yard be enclosed by strong plank fence,
that the annoyance 10 the j-ilor and his FAM
lily may not continue by persons driving
vehicles on the jill premises
The report of :he board Of County Com
missioners has had our attention The dupli-
Gates Of the various county Claims have been
examined and found to be correct, 90 far as
we were able to ascertain. The deficiency of
the nooth, of November and December, 1895,
amounting to 81, ,s99.l3. and also the unpaid
balance of Sl7,7sS.45 for the year 1896, and
mentioned in said report has been paid
Therefore, the county is out of debt with the
exception of the bonded Indebtedness,
smouoting TO Sll ,4s27o. The books of the
Board of Couaty Commissioners from which
the above mentioned report was made, are in
