Grand Jury Presentment- Term.

We have passed on all the bills handed
lis by the Solicitor.
AT the last term of the court we called
the attention of the magistrates of the
county to the law requiring them to sub
nit their dockets to the County Commits
sioncrs quarterly, also to make monthly
reports to the treasurer and Auditor
The Supervisor informs us that only four
magistrates have submitted their duckets
In this connection we will say that all
magistrates who do not comply with this
law will be presented at the next term of
the court; and we recommend that this
portion OF this presentment be served on
the magistrates of the county.
We are reliably informed that in some
OF the school districts, especially in the
Oakway and Fair Play districts, teachers
Who are not entitled by Law to teach in
the public schools of the olnty, have
been employed and paid out of the
school funds. We recommend that the
County Board of Education make an i'm
mediate and thorough investigation of
these matters and report the result of
said investigation to this grand jury at
the next term of the court.
We recommend that the foreman of
this jury, G. G.. Jaynes, and j. w. Nc
Gee and j. w. Todd be appointed a com
mittee TO investigate the books Of the
county offices, with power to employ an
expert if necessary.
