country districts in regard to illegal
sale of whiskey, which we respect
fully refer to the deputy sheriff Of
our county, who is requested to
look after lawlessness in the coun-
try districts.
The committee on roads, bridges
and ferries request us 10 recommend
to the county supervisor that
bushes and obstructions to sight be
removed on the inside curve in all
places on public roads to remove
the danger of head on collisions of
automobiles with approaching We
hicles. That limbs be pruned from
trees which overhang public roads
and endanger vehicles with tops.
That the bridge across Beaver
Dam creek on public road leading
from residence Of R. A. Wash to
Red Hill church be repaired at
once so that the public may cross
Stephens creek at Parks Mill.
That bridge across Cuffee Town
creek on the line between Edge6eld
and Greenwood counties be re-
paired.
That they believe that the super
visor is working the roads of our
county as rapidly as possible, and
they especially recommend that he
hasten to have mud holes in the
roads filed, and to accomplish this,
that he have squad of hands for
this purpose and keep them going
over the roads. That the bridge
across Log creek near Pleasant
Grove church is in dangerous con-
dition and that it should be re-
paired.
The committee on Poor House re-
port that on the county farm of 277
acres they find about 1875 acres un-
der cultivation, planted in corn,

of cattle including milch COWS,
l6 hogs and pigs, one horse wag-
on and one horse wagon and
good line of farm implements.
There are in the county home for
the poor l6 inmates-6 white and
10 colored-all of whom seem to be
we'll cared for. There are on the
farm 6 houses, FIVE of which are
