Crop raised in 1901, bales cotton, 300

b lshels sweet potatoes, 1000 pounds fod-
der. so gallons syrup, 1000 stalks seed
cane, 1900 pounds pork, % gallons lard,
20 bushels peanuts, $50 bushels oats and
Is bushels stock peas.
It is the sense of this b-dy, and
We recommend that the county commits
siOners sell the present Pauper farm
and buy larger one, for the reasons
that the present farm is too small, and
no woodland on the same, causing an
item # expense for wood. The expense
of taking care of the paupers is too great
and our opinion is it will greatly lessen
the present expense to the county to
buy larger farm, and recommend that
that it be bought at least two miles from
the county site or any other town or vii.
lage in the county, and we further
recommend that the practice of physi.
Clans of medicine be let to the lowest
bidder by the year, for the prsctice re-
quired on the Pauper farm.
We find that the Jail and public build
ings of the county are all in good repair
except we suggest that a new pair OIL
steps be built 70 the Jail and that they
be wider than the present ones Upor
; a careful examination of the Pension
Roll we find that none are drawing ex
cept those entitled under the law.
We fiud that there is vacancy on The
Board of Educati IN in the 978th, dis
trict and appoint s. Bell to fill the va
caDcy, There is also vacancy i'll the
978th, district for notary public. We
recommend J. P. Walker to fill the va
caucY. There is also vacancy in the
802 district for notary public and ws
recommend W. E. Cooper to fill the
same Also a vacancy in the 1105th,
district for notary public. We recon-
mend n. II. Gunnels TO fill the vacancy
We appoint j. P. Walker aud J. e
Deunard as Finance Committee to report
their Investigations to the Grand July
April term 1908.
We find the books of the various No
tary Public and Justices of the Peace tC
be kept in good order. No excuses

PUBLIC ROADS AND BRIDGES.
We fad there is gen
eral complaint over the major
portion of the county about the
condition of the public roads, especially
is this the case at what is known as the
Moore bridge across Kinch afoonee, the
dirt work at the bntterment of the
bridge being washed away to the extent
that it is almost impossible. We ind
that too much leniency has been induig-
ed in to the Road Com missioners of the
county. We know that excessive and
heavy rainfall is to some extent the
cause OF the condition of the roads at
the present thine, but we recommend
tnat the various Road Commissioners Of
the county have thu public roads, put
as nearly in condition as the law re-
quires. as early as possible,
Ia concluding our labor for the term
va tender our thanks to His Honor
Z. A. Litnlejohn for uniform courtesy
to us and commend him as an upright
and impartial Judge.
To Solicitor General f. A, Hooper we
are under obligations for valuable SER
dice rendered. We recommend the pub
