COMMITTEES REPORT.
To the Honorable, the Grand Jury
fer Lexington County, said State:
We, your undersigned Committee

the County and it's officers, beg leave
| to make the following report.
We have made careful examina.
ton of the official bonds of the
| various county officials, and find
them safe and in good standing.
We find the various Offices in good
condition, and the records kept in
first class order.
We find the Auditors Office kept
in as good condition as he can
possibly keep it, but owing to
the great amount of records there
in and the smallness of his Office,
be is entirely too cramped, and
we recommend that large box,
or case, be made with a good sub
stantial lock thereon, and placed
lust outside of the Auditors Office in
the passsge-way of the court house,
to be used by the Auditor in fling
away the old records of his Office,
which, though old, are necessary to
be kept by him for reference, &c.
We find the affairs of the county
administered in as economical man
ner as practicable.
We find the dispensaries of the
county conducted on an economical
basis, and the business connected
with this branch of our county gov
ernment in first class condition, and
the books and records pertaining
thereto, kept by Mr.. R. L. Keisler,
in a nice, clean and intelligent shape.
We are glad to be able ts oongrst-
ulate the county upon the success Of
our Summer school for the teachers
of our county. And as 80 much has
been said, in different sections of the
county, about the costs attached to
the running of this school, and
the imposition upon the taxpayers
of the county, We have exam
ined into the matter ard are glad
to report, that this great benefit,
as We see it, to the children of our
county, does not cost the taxpayers

defraying this school of instruction
are paid out of what is known as the
Peabody fund. which is donated to

GRAND JURY's REPORT.
To the Hon. Chas. G. Dantzler, Judge
presiding:
We have examined into and passed
upon all bills handed out to US by
the Solicitor at this term of the
court, and returned the same to the
court with our findings endorsed
thereon.
We herewith submit the report of
of the special committee of our body
as part of this, our presentment,
with our endorsement thereof.
We recommended, in our present.
msnt at the February term of court,
that certain repairs should be looked
after by the County Commissioners
in reference to the court house and
iail, these recommendations. we are
sorry to have to say, have been
ignored, and We must insist they be
attended to at once and if not at
tended to then such action be taken
by the proper authorities as will have
the same attended to.
We also recommended that pair
of blood hounds be secured for the
county. This recommendation has also
been ignored, and as We think this
very important matter for the welfare
and protection of the county. We
must insist that the matter be
attended to.
At the February term of court We
called the attention of the County
Commissioners to the attention of the
ferry across Saluda river known as
Counts ferry. The Supervisor tells
us he has looked into the matter and
finds the charter has gone out of
date, and the owners thereof say
that it will not pay them to keep it
up. We, therefore, recommend that
the public road leading to and from
said ferry be abandoned from the
Gable place on the south side of
Saluds river to the public road run
ming parallel with the river on the
north side, unless the owners of said
ferry repair and keep in good condi-
tion and operation said ferry.
With only few exceptions We
have complaint made to Us from all
over the county that the public
roads are in very bad condition, and
some of them impossible, the follow
ing heing copy of one of the COM
plants:
"The road leading from the New
berry and Columbia road that runs
by A. ". Levers, Shady Grove
church and back in said Newberry
and Columbia road at G.. M. Lindlers
is in an impossible condition and
must be looked after and put in re-
pair at once"
We recommend that the County
Supervisor look after these roads at
once and see why they have been so
neglected and to take such steps as
will enforce the law in reference
thereto.
The Grand Jury of last year and
the year before, so We are informed,
have recommended that the old
equity records, which bear upon the
landed interest of our county, and
which are slowed away in the Grand
Jury room, be indexed and filed
away in the vault in the Clerk of
Courts ofiee for safe keeping, have
been utterly ignored. We find the
rats are destroying these records
and we earnestly insist, that this
recommendation be carried out at
once.
We find that the records in the

City.

Portage, Wis, Aug. 12.--Father
Cosgrove, of Ripon, and Thomas Clith.
eto, Of this city, have discovered the
site of the long lost Mascoutens, the
largest and most celebrated city in
Indian history, near Governors Bend
on the Fox river.
The city is reported in 1876 to have
had 10000 Inhabitants. 1t was heard
from as early as 1915, was visited by
Nicollet In 1884 and by Radison and
Grosellier in 1860. The st. James
Mission was founded there by Allouea
in 1869. 1t is minutely described by
Doblon in 1910, and by Marquette on
his voyage OF discovery with Joliet in
1873.
Every descriptive sentence in the
ancient documents referred to has now
been verified. and several other fort
and village sites have been discovered
incidentally in the course of the inves
tigation.
