Presentment OF The Grand Jury.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
County of Williamsburg.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
County of Williamsburg.
To His Honor George E Prince
Presiding Judge:
We, the grand jury, beg to make
this our final presentment:
We have examined carefully all
bills handed US By the solicitor and
have made return to this court OF
findings.
AWE examined the county Jail and
found it 10 be in better condition
than we have ever known it. The
prisoners are not only we'll cared for
but the cells and corridors are also
clean and we'll kept. We commend
the jailer. Capt W D Fitch, for his
splendid care and attention to the
county Jail.
The chain gang We found in its
usual good condition so far as the
prisoners are concerned. They ap-
peaI to be we'll fed and cared fer,
and the portable Jail bedding,etc., to
be clean and in order. The live
stock, however, consisting of eight
mules, ARE in poor condition and ap-
pear to lack proper food and stten-
tiQa, The roads and bridges Of the
county are in their usual poor con-
dition and very little progress, If
any, is being made towards their i'm
provement.
The matter of Magistrate G W
Davis, improperly charging cost in
an action by the State against
James Carmichael, which was call
ed to our attention by your Honor,
has been investigated, aud We find
that his report made to the treasur'
er on May IA. 1907, is irregular.
We, therefore recommend that the
said G W DAVIS be required to make
full and complete statement OF
this case to this court.
We are informed BY the jailor
that the supervisor has failed to
provide changes of clothing and
soap for prisoners in Jail, as direct
ed by rule of Judge Memminger at
last term of court.
A committee of the grand jury
appointed to examine the county of.
fees submit with this their report,
which is hereto attached.
We desire to thank your Honor
for able aud lucid changes of law
and our duties and the solicitor fol
courtesies shown.
Respectfully submitted,
HUGH McCUTCHEE,
Foreman.

recommend that this office be made

The office Of the Supt of Educa-
tion and Treasurer were examined
together so as to check the books OF
each office by the other. Both were
found to be in good condition so far
as we were able to judge from the
books at the time of examination.
The Supervisors office we found
in an unsatisfactory condition.
Practically no books were kept in
said office from April until our e1-
animation. Claims ordered paid
were not entered and no minutes of
the office are kept to show the rou-
tine work. The condition of this
Office was such that it was impossi-
BILE for this committee to check
same.
The Sheriff's Office was found in
neat condition and all books well
kept. Funds in his hands are de.
posted in local banks and proper
balances from cashiers shown.
The Office of the County Board OF

rnittee today by vote of IS to g.
Another resolution. favored by friends
of Secretary Taft and opposed by

we believe that the great majority
OF the people of Ohio. convinced of
ne high character. great ability and
distinguished services of Secretary

we declare that the republicans of
Ohio overwhelmingly desire that the
name Of william Howard Taft be pre-
scented TO the nation as Ohios candi-
date for president, and that the re-
publicans Of other states be invited to
cooperate with the republicans of
Ohio TO secure his nomination in 1sos.''

not affect my course in any way. The
next state convention will have au-
thority TO speak and by the action of
that convention IT will be the duty of
every good republican to abide. In

be used as an adjunct of the navy
yard at Mare island, is contemplated.
| he negotiations have reached such a
stage that Admiral Capps and Ad-
miral Cowles will make thorough ex-
animation of the shipbuilding plant in
their Forthcoming tour of the Pacific
coast.
1t is also probable that new naval
station will be established at San
Diego to meet the needs of the situa-
ton.
Admiral capps, chief naval con-
structor of the navy, left washington
today for New York, where he will be
Joined by Admiral Cowles, chief of the
equipment buread. and the two will go
together to. the Pacific coast to make
a thorough inspection of the yards and
stations there and report on the future
needs of the navy in that quarter.
Admiral Holiday chief of the bu-
reau of yards and docks, will follow
these two officers to San Francisco on
a similar errand. This will involve a.
very careful examination of the Mare
island navy yard and that at Bremer-
ton. The resources of the two navy
yards are not suf1cient to make
even temporary repairs and bookings
that will be required by Admiral
Evans battleship feet. Hence the in
spection of the yards will probably re-
suit in recommendations to congress
at its approaching session for a con-
siderable enlargement of the plans at
both places
The difficulty of procuring skilled
labor In these yards. especially at
Bremerton, will also be considered
with a view to making the conditions
more attractive to such labor, If by
no other means than by assuring the
men of continuous employment at
good wages.
The proposition to establish
naval station at San Diego, Cal.
will be examined from all points OF
view by the visiting admirals. The
harbor at this point possesses
superior advantages as naval
anchorage. There arc good rail-
road connections. assuring abund-
ant supply of coal if water communi-
cation is cut off in war time, and the
harbor can easily be made impreg-
nabIe.
The distance of San Diego south
ward from San Francisco and its posi-
tion IN the route between the latter
city and the Panama canal would also
make it an advantageous coaling
point. OF course, the consent OF con-
gress would be necessary to render it's
selection effective.

GUARDED BY CR0CODILES.
No Robber Has Ever Burglarized King
of Anam's Treasury.

Some years ago the king of Anam
was somewhat perpleXed to devise a
means to defend a considerable amount
of recently acquired treasure, seeing
that in Anam iron safes of good
resisting power are unknown and in
view of the further fact that unfortu-
nately among his majestys loyal sub
jects there were no incOnsiderable
number of adroit thieves. SO therefore
the king had to resort to some means
in harmony with the natural circum-
stances of his country.
Armed human guards he could not
fully trust. Animals do not steal mon
ey, and nature had supplied his majes-
ty with an animal that could not be
wheedled or killed except with a great
deal of danger and trouble. The croco-
die is such an animal. Happy thought.
The king would have the crocodile
guard his specie reserve.
Yet to avail himself of the services
Of the crocodile he must keep his mon
ey in a place where crocOdles are at
home. Nothing was more simple. In

the interior of his palace the king caus-
ed to be constructed Il large tank,
which he kept constantly filled with
water. Then he took several teak logs,
into which he had bored holes, and
into these holes he put his specie re-
serve The holes We're closed up and
thc logs put into the tank.
Then some crocodiles of the largest
and fiercest description We're installed
in the tank and maintained there, not
being fed so much, however, as to in
terfere with their natural ferocity. Any
person who would undertake to reach
the treasure laden logs would surely
be eaten by the crocodiles, and any one
who would undertake to put the sau-
rlans out of his way would undoubted-
ly make noise enough to attract the
attention of the human guards and of
the king himself, for the ruler of An
am is required by custom to remain
very closely in his palace.
At all events the royal crocodile treas
ury has never been robbed, and it cam
not burn.
