sion to trace the rumor, and upon ex-
planning to the party that the charge
able fund on the books Of "Commis-
sioners and Clerk" included the sala-
ry of the Supervisor also, he, under
oath, stated that he had been misin-
formed and mistaken. We find the
salaries paid these officials for the pc.
riod named to have been entirely cor
rect and proper.
Lexington county since 1909 is placed
and classified as prohibition or dry
county, the election held in 1909 for
that purpose having resulted in de-
claring that there could be no legal
sale of liquors in the county; but we
are advised that several so-called 80.
cial clubs" have been established al
different places in the county and are
now in operation and that in said
clubs whiskeys are dispensed and sold
to the public in violation of the law,
so we have been advised. We recon-
mend that the executive officers of the
county maintain closer observance
of the operations of these alleged
clubs, to the end that where the law
is being violated therein the grand
jury and the courts shall have it
brought to their attention and that
such club az violates the law shall be
punished and the charter thereof with
drawn and nullifed.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners pay our expert herein
before mentioned the fee for his SER
vices heretofore agree upon and ap-
proved by the Court, o:t of the funds
ct the county.
We desire in conclusion to take this
manner Of expressing to Your Honor
and all officials of the Court our sin
cere appreciation for the assistance
rendered Us during our service as a
Grand Jury for the present year.
Respectfully submitted,

tween the parties to the action, are
sent to the grand jury. thus entailing
an expense which could and should be
avoided.
We desire to call the Superyisor's s
attention to the fact that in some of
the itemized statements of goods furn-
ished to the chaingang we find listed
articles which to us appear to be rath-
er luxurious. In these statements we
frequently find such items as cheese,
macaroni, chickens, eggs. butter, fans,
etc. We believe it to be but right
that the convicts of the county should
be furnished with good, wholesome
foods, but from the somewhat fire.
quent recurrence Of such articles as
the above-named in the statements,
we feel it to be our duty to suggest
that the Supervisor see to it that
wholesome, substantial foods are
furnished, rather than fancy dishes.
We find the quality of the beef furn-
ished the chaingang to be excellent,
the price sometimes ranging from Is
to 20 cents per pound.
In this connection we desire to call
the Supervisors attention to the fur
ther fact that we find instances of
claims allowed and pay warrants is
sued where there has been no proba-
ton of the claim. Also claims are
frequently approved without any emu
meration of the items appearing in the
said claim. We would suggest that a
more strict regard be had for the let
ter of the law in this respect.
Being cognizant of the fact that GER
tain rumors wero atloat in the county
to the effect that the County Commits
sioners and Clerk had been paid some
four thousand dollars in salaries for
three years and six months service,
we took pains to make especial inquiry
into these charges and we find them
to be wholly unfounded; and, in'order
to set all parties right, we took occa-

Gals to meet these liabilities. The
disbursement of the pension fund by
the Clerk of the Court was promptly
made, and receipts taken therefor and
the same filed in his Office.
The annual settlement. required by
law, between the County Auditor and
the County Treasurer, was witnessed
by the Comptroller Generals clerk,
the County Supervisor and the FORE
man Of our jury. This settlement
shows that the funds and taxes charg-
ed the Treasurer in the last fiscal year
were accounted for. The books and
vouchers in the Office of the County
Commissioners and the Superinten-
dent of Education, showing the dis
bursement of the school funds and the
various expenditures made in support
of the several institutions of the coun-
ty, check with the books and records
found in the Treasurer's office; save
and except portion of the warrants
issued by the Supervisor of the coun-
ty which had been taken up by the
Lexington Savings Bank, which insti-
tuition is now in bankruptcy, these
warrants SO held by the bankrupt
bank not having been paid by the
Treasurer of the County and while
they appear upon the Supervisors
books, they do not appear upon the
Treasurer's books. Our information
is that the County Treasurer had on
deposit in the Lexington Savings
Bank, at the time of it's failure, funds
of the taxes Of the county sufficient to
iquidate and pay off these outstand-
ing county warrants, but that said
bank was placed in bankruptcy and
such settlement could not be made be-
tween the Treasurer and the bank Of
ficials.
We regret to again have to report
that complaints are being made about
the condition of the roads and bridges
of the county. We note that from

Lexington Grand Jury
Makes PreSentment

To His Honor s. w. G. Shipp, Presid-
ing Judge: .
We have considered all bills of in
dictments handed to US at this term
of court by the Solicitor and have re-
turned the same to the Court with our
findings thereon.
At previous sessions of our Jury
committees were appointed to visit
the county poor house, county .ail'
county chaingang, and other county
institutions. These several commit
tees have reported to our foil body and
say that they find these several insti-
tutions all in> good condition, clean
and well-kept.
This jury, with the consent of the
Court, at the spring term engaged the
services of J. Brooks Wingard, ESQ.,,
to assist our body in performing the
duties incumbent upon US Of examin-
ing these several institutions, and es-
pecially to make an examination OF
the bonds, offices, records and papers
of the several county officials. a sub
committee, consisting of our Fore
man, J. 8. Wessinger, R. L. Lybrand
and A. M. Hutto, met on the 18th day
of July and, with the assistance of our
expert, examined the Offices of Pro-
bate Judge, County Sheriff, County
Treasurer, County Supervisor, County
Auditor, County Superintendent of
Education and Clerk Of the Court.
We are pleased to report that this ex-
animation shows all books and rec
ords of these several Offices to be neat
ly kept and in good shape. Funds in
the hands of the Clerk Of the Court,
Probate Judge and Sheriff, belonging
to estates in process of settlement, are
kept on deposit in banks, and certif-
Gates of deposit furnished the COM
nittee by the bank officials show suffi-
cient funds to the credit Of these off

time to time the County Supervisor
calls upon the public, through his Or
ganized channels to contribute, ac-
cording to law, to these much needed
improvements. In some instances
these duties are met; but, in far too
many, little attention seems to be
paid to them. All seem to join in the
clamor to have the roads worked; !;
some seem willing to help to work
them, others apparently are unwilling
and seek every excuse by means of
which to avoid discharging their duty
to the public and to themselves in this
regard. We beg to suggest that it is
only by the faithful performance by
every individual of his duty in this re-
spect that the results so earnestly de-
sired by all may accrue to each.
With reference to the road inspec-
tors of the county, the law provides
that it shall be the duty of each to
make at least two reports during the
year to the Grand Jury-one in the
spring and one in the fall. During
the current year but one report from
one inspector has been made to this
body. We are constrained to suggest
that in our opinion this body of men,
known as the "road inspectors of the
county," have proven of but little SER
vice, and perhaps the repeating of this
statute would be the best solution of
this matter.
We call attention of the magistrates
of the county to the fact that in our
opinion too many minor cases which
have not sufficient merit in them, are
sent to the court of general sessions
for investigation by the Grand Jury;
and we recommend that the magis-
trates make more thorough examins-
tions of all cases brought before them,
and unless cases are truly meritorious,
dismiss them. In our opinion, too
many prosecutions founded only in
some vague or personal matter be-

WHAT coLoRs MEAN ON MAPS

The use Of color on maps has now
been reduced by the best map makers
to a logical system. Not very long
ago we saw on our own maps Of the
Unite, States each state differentiated
from those around ii by a covering OF
color tint along the boundaries
would have answered every purpose
ana left opportunity l. use cOlors
throughout the sheet as part OF the
scheme Of symbols. Many map cOlOrs
are now occupied directly from nature,
and often those selected are particu-
larry appropriate. as. for example. the
common use of blues for rainfall maps.
the deepening blues of the sea as depths
increase. the deepening bluffs and
browns as the heighths of the land
augment, the yellow tints for arid and
sandy regions and green's largely used
on maps dealing with plant geography.
The map makers of the leading ma
tiOns are approaching one another
more nearly in their use of map cOlors:
ard for public convenience it is hoped
that some day we shall see a uniform
system of cOlors in all may symbolism.
Such questions as these are sometimes
settled by scientific bodies. as was the
case when the geological congress at
Bologna in 1881, selected the cOlOrs to
be applied to the international geoloGi-
cal may of EurOpe.-Cyrus c. Adams.
