10 the Hon. Sidney Smith. Judge q
the Fourth Judicial District Of Mis-
sissippi:
The Grand Jury for the January.
1907, term Of LefIore County Circuit
Court respectively submits this their
final report:
We have examined o. witnesses
from different sections of the county,
inquiring carefully into ali violations
Of the law which have come TO our
knowledge, and have found 10 bills of
Indictment. 1t has been our policy to
only find indictments in cases which
we thought the evidence would sus-
tain in your court.
We have examined the books Of the
County Auditor against the different
county officials, and find them neatly
and accurately kept. We have also
examined the dockets OF the various
Justices Of the Peace Of the county,
and find them in q fairly good condi-
ton.
We have examined the books and
receipts Of the Tax Collector and SO
far as we a ascertain they are ac-
curately kept.
A committee appointed to inspect
the county convict farm reports same
in good condition, the prisoners COM
fortably clothed, we'll fed and kindly
treated by the contractors.
A similar committee visited the
County Poor House and examined the
premises, finding same in fairly good
condition and inmates we'll cared for,
we will recommend however, that
the residence be painted. We found
one bed that we had burned.
We have complied with the courts
instruction as to dynamiting fish and
violations of the game laws, but have
been unable to get evidence that
would warrant an Indictment.
We find that the Road Commission
er has been reporting and prosecuting
road overseers for failure to dis
charge their duty, and that most Of
the overseers have compiled with the
law in working the roads.
We visited the County Jail and find
the same kept in first class order;
prisoners receiving good treatment
and well fed.
In conclusion, we desire to return
thanks to Your Honor for eourtesles
shown us; to the able District Attor-
ney for the valuable assistance he has
so kindly rendered us in the discharge
Of our duties; to the sheriff and his
deputies for their prompt and salts
factary service in executing the or
ders Of this body.
Having been in session Z days, and
performed our duty to the best Of our
ability, we now respectfully ask to be

DElGARS WILL DISBANO.
POPULAR FTREMEN TO RETIRE
AFTER DECEMBER 4.
Matter to Como Up al Next City COun-
Gil Meeting-PrOperty to be offered
tn City-Is IL Time Now for Paid
Department?

On tonight when council meets
the members of Delgar Hose Co..
No. 3. will. through the chairman of
the fire commission state their inten-
ton Of disbanding after December 1st.
This action was decided upon at the
last meeting Of the company.
The members Of this poular COM
pany have no "kick" coming at all
and do not want the public to think
30. They are simply tired OF service
with no remuneration other than the
mere expense of paying a driver and
keeping up the property Of the COM
pany.
At the meeting Of council. the whole
property Of the firemen will be Offer
ed to the city. The city owns the
building occupied by the company's
property on East Liberty street, but
the horses. apparatus. and equipment
of the firemen is owned by them SOLE
ly. IL the city is willing to pay for
the property in taking II over, and
there Is no doubt but that the council
will do so, the amount realized from
the sale will be appropriated by the
firemen for most worthy purpose. 1t
will be used as part Of the fund being
raised to erect monument to the late
Chief Graham who lost his life In the
service OF the company last February
during the fire that destroyed the
Beck building. near the depot. Chief
Graham was a member Of this company
and his memory will be perpetuated
by the firemen in q most fitting man
ner.
The Delgars have been in service
for sixteen years and have fought In
many a disastrous fire. They have,
also won many honors In tournaments.
The last tournament this company
was engaged in was i'm 1902 in this
city when they lowered the worlds
record In the hose wagon contest This
remarkable race Is familiar TO all the
citizens Of Sumter. Tho New York
World published an account of the
race with the pictures Of the team.
The people OF the city generally will
regret to learn Of this action of the
company in resolving to retire.
This matter brings up the question
which. 1t is said. the City Council has
discussed before, that Of establishing
paid department here. Is IL not time
for such move to be made? Every
one recognizes the fact that Sumter
is fast becoming large city and that
IRE protection should be one
of the prime matters OF inn
portance before the people.
The volunteer companies have
always served the city well and will
always hold warm place in The
hearts Of her citizens. but a paid de-
partmnt would be more efficient in
many respects. in that 1t would be
the regular business of the men to
fight fires and be on duty at all times.
