STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
COUNTY OF WILLIAMSBURG.
To His Honor, Charles G.
Dantzler, Presiding Judge:
We, the grand jury, beg to
make this our final presentment.
We have made a careful ex.
animation of all the bills hand.
ed us by the solicitor and re.
turned to this court our findings
thereupon.
We examined the county Jail
and find it in good condition,
cleanly and neatly kept. 1t was
called to our attention that
there are several large leaks in
the roof of the Jail building.
These leaks are still in bad con.
dition, although repeated at
tempts have been make to re
pair them. We learn that the
roofing is not of a very durable
nature and therefore recon.
mend that the building be re-
rooted at once with first class
roofing material.
A never ending source of Pc
tition and report is the deplora.
BILE condition of the public high.
ways of the county. We have
lately received a complaint
signed by fifty or more reputa-
BILE citizens as to the condition
of the highway leading across
Pudding swamp to the effect
that the crossing is impossible
at high water and dangerous at
all times. This is a single in
stance of a common complaint
and we earnestly recommend
that the county supervisor take
immediate steps toward the i'm.
provemeut of the public high
ways, since we are advised that
there is on hand a large fund to
be used to this end that is now
lying in idleness while the ira
yelling public is suffering in con-
sequence of its non-expenditure.
It has been brought to our at
tention that the law relative to
the buying of seed cotton has
been grossly violated during
the pastseason in a number of
instances by the failure to pay
the license of fifty dollars as
required by Law. We recon-
mend that members of the
grand jury and all magistrates
and constables be instructed to
take care that this law is not
violated in their respective ju-
risdictions and that they be re-
quired to report all cases of
such violation coming under
their notice.
We beg to call your honor's
attention to the fact that the re-
commendation of the grand jury
at September, 1907, or last term
of court as to the cementing of
the floors of the Offices of the
clerk of court and the auditor so
as to make these Offices FIRE
proof has not been acted upon.
We think that this recommen.
dation should be carried out
and again urge that immediate
