PRESENTMENT OF

STATE OF s. 'iH CAROLINA,
COUNTY T.; NEWBERRY,
To His Honor, Judge l. w. Bowman,
Presiding:
We, the grad jury Of Newberry
| county, at the sitting of the fall term
of court. w:sh to make the following
presentation of such matters as have
been h~:u.ht before us for our con-
sidecation.
Y iesire to express to the judge
presiding our thanks and apprecia-
ton for his able charge and instruc-
! tions to us. and to commend him Tor
the able manner in which he has ex-
pedited the work Of the court.
In this connection, we would urge
that all witnesses be on hand prompt
ly at each session, so that the court
proceedings will not be delayed.
We have examined and audited the
books of the county supervisor, coun-
ty superintendent of education and
county treasurer, and found them in
first-class condition and neatly
kept
We have examined the books of all
the other county officers, and found
them neatly and properly kept.
We have examined the books of the
magistrates of the county, and found
them we'll kept, and in compliance
with the law.
We have inspected the county home.
iail and court house. and find as fol-
lows:
We find the county home in excel
! lent condition, the premises clean and
sanitary, and the inmates all express
themselves as being well cared for.
In former presentments We have
repeatedly recommended and urged
that steps be taken towards the erec-
ton Nof a new and modern jail. The
present building, with it's equipment,
is utterly unfit for the purposes for
which it is used At times the crowd
ed condition of the jail is menace
to the health of the prisoners, ard we
see no remedy for this except IN the
erection of a new and larger jail. We
cannot urged too forcibly that steps
be taken along this line Immediately.
We find the Jail property We'll
cared for, and kept in as sanitary con-
dition as could be expected Of the
present building, with its overcroWd-
! ed condition.
/ We fnd the county court house we'll
kept. There are no evidences of any
repairs being needed.
The roads throughout the county
appear to be in good condition. We
would recommend that an annual IL
cense be placed upon all motor-driv-
en- vehicles. the proceeds to be ex--
pended upon the Improvement and
maintenance of the public highways.
we wish to commend the sheriff and
his deputies for their diligence, and
all the officers of the county for their
faithful and efficient work.
We have passed upon all bills pre-
sented to us and have returned them
to the court.
We recommend that the clerk b"
paid the usual fee

COTTON SEED AS A FEED-Mr.
Farmer, read this and be convinced
Cotton seed meal is the cheapest feed
you can get. Proteine in a feed Is
what makes fat. In cotton seed meal
you get proteine at cents per pound.
In wheat brand you get proteine at
13 cents per pound. In corn you get
proteine at 20 cents per pound. From
this you will see that 100 pounds OF
cotton seed meal is worth IS much as
400 pounds of corn. Try feeding cot
ton seed meal and be convinced.
