| The York county grand jury got
through with its business at the pres
ent term of the court Of general ses-
sons on Tuesday afternoon and sub
mitted the following as its final pre-
sentiment:
To the Court of General Sessions,
Special Judge Ernest Moore. pre-
| siding:
| We. the grand Jury, having passed on
all bills handed US by the solicitor and
returned them TO the court with our
findings thereon, beg leave to submit
the following:
Sam Dickey, selling whisky, and
James Richardson and John Blake, as
witnesses.
Mack Hood and Clarence Hood, car
rying concealed weapons. Witnesses,
Clarence Robinson, w. T. Slaughter,
Jr. and Harry Adams.
| We find Will Berry, colored, In Beth
ell does not give his children sufficient
food and clothing to sustain them and
| If he continues to neglect them we
recommend they be taken to the coun-
ty home. We suggest that the magis-
trate for Bethel look after them.
We have examined the report of the
superintendent of education and mag
Il
istrates and return them herewith.
Committee on County Home.
We, the committee to investigate the
| affairs Of the county home, find 1t In as
good condition as possible, but In need
of more shed room to take care OF
tools. The dwelling houses are made
uuate and some of them unfit to ac-
commodate paupers.
We recommend the present system
| of dwellings be done away with ana
two modern houses be built, one for
white and one for colored, and be
equipped with steam or hot water
| heating. The farm is too large to be
profitable and we recommend 1t be sold
| to about two hundred acres.
| J. w. Belts, Chairman.
Committee on Chainsang.
We have inspected the chaingang and
it's work. We find the gang we'll
equipped and both stock and convicts
we'll taken care of. The sand and clay
road now in construction to the Ches-
ter line is all that could be desired.
We also looked over the concrete
bridge over Fishing creek on the Rock
Hill and McConnellsville road, and
think It a long step in the way of
progress.
The iron bridge over the Catawba
river has been repaired and repainted
and Is in good condition.
| ]. w. Feemster, Chairman.
Committee on Jail.
We find the Jail in as good condition
as 1t is possible to keep 1t.
| A. A. Burris, Chairman.
Committee on County Offices.
We find the treasurer's office made.
auate to accommodate the business 1t
has to handle and In need OF a vault
large enough to hold valuable books,
with filing system. We recommend
the county commissioners confer with
] the county treasurer as to the neeos
of the office and attend to the fixtures
without unnecessary delay, as valuable
receipts and records need to be kept
safer than it Is now possible to keep
them.
Superintendent Of education's and
sheriff's offices seem to be very well
situated to take care OF their business.
The probate judge needs more Hing
cases to take care Of his needs. -,
The clerk of the court has a well
kept office, but needs more space ana
light. N. S. Black, Chairman;
Thanking your honor and the solic-
| itor for aid and courtesies extended US
| during the term, and If there be no
other business, we beg to be discharg-
| ed. D. A. Whisonant, Foreman.

lection of the six names as follows: 5.
