mending Of clothes, and the making
Of such clothing as may be convenient
ly made at home, to give the necessary
care and attention to the sick, to furn-
ish fuel and in general to see that the
inmates are comfortably cared for, all
at his expense.
In return the County provides nee
essary medical attention and medi-
cines. clothing and cloth for clothing
to be made up, pays for repairs on the
premises, and pays the superintend-
ent the sum Of Two 50-100 Dollars per
month for each pauper, and in addi-
ton, the free rental Of the county
farm for agricultural purposes. This
about the same contract that we have
had for a number of years, and believe
that all things considered it Is the
best arrangement that can be made.
AS to highway and bridges, we
would report that with the exception
of some damage to the roads by reason
Of the recent bad weather, the roads
OF the county are in fair shape, in fact
have been In better condition during
the past winter than Is usual for the
season Of year.
While 1t Is true that many OF our
roads are not what they should be.
still if a comparison be made as be-
tween the roads now and the condi-
tion Of the same roads eight or ten
years ago a very great general i'm
provemcnt will be noted
We have had very good winter for
work an have put the time In in wild
ening and relocating some Of the more
important roads, and in this respect
have accomplished more than In any
previous winter
The bridges Of the county, general
ly, are in good condition. OF course
there are always some repairs needed
at some point, but taken as a whole
we have better bridges over the coun
ty than ever before. And despite the
fact that we failed to get an appropri-
alton last year to cover our March,
1912 bridge loss, We have managed to
replace most of the bridges then de-
stroyed by better ones than the old.
Our expenditures have been very
heavy during the past by reason large
ly of the unusual amount Of bridge
work, as will be noted from our FL
nancial Report which has been hand
ed in separately.
AS to Magistrates, we would report
that all Of the magistrates of the
county have regularly submitted their
books for examination as provided by
Par 1909, Vol. 1 Code 1912, except
Magistrate w. T. Crews Of Laurens
Township, whose books have not been
presented for examination since July,
a. D. 1913. We find further that he
has not made settlements with the
County Treasurer as the law requires,
and are not able to say what the con-
dition Of his accounts may be.
We know Of nothing seriously affect
ing the public health, or otherwise,
that we deem OF sufficient Importance
to be brought to your attention.
Respectfully submitted,
II. b. Humbert,
Supervisor
Laurcns, S. c.. March 10, 1914.
