Presentment of Grand Jury.

| The Grand Jury Oh WILLIAMSBURG
county, having completed it's duties
pertaining to this, the fall term of
court, and having heard reports from
| its various committees and having
appointed other committees for the
purpose of more efficiently discharg-
ing it's duties, begS to herewith make
| it's report:
|. We wish to thank his Honor,
Judge DeVore and Solicitor Mcleod
for the instructions given us pertain
ing to our duties as a Grand jury
and thereby materially assisting US
in passing upon bills handed US and
the other duties imposed upon this
body.
II. All indictments handed in by
the solicitor have been passed upon
and returned to the court.
III. We find that the greater num-
Der of recommendations as made by
this body at the summer term OF
court have been complied with, and
those in authority have shown sat
isfactory reasons why the other rec
concentrations have not been complied
with up to this time.
w. We find that the annual audit
of the books of the various county
officers has been made by an audi
tor from the Comptroller General
office, which report shows all Offices
and books pertaining thereto to be in
satisfactory condition except that OF
the County Supervisor. Certain rec
concentrations as to the keeping OF
the books in the office of the County
Supervisor are made in the report of
the auditor, and we recommend that
these suggestions be strictly COM
piled with. We find that such other
recommendation as made in said re-
port have already been complied with.
V. The committee on schools has
made it's report and we find that
all schools in the county are making
satisfactory progress. BY special re-
quest the committee was sent to visit
the Kingstree negro school, and this
committee finds that this school is
very crowded. There are some three
hundred (300) pupils or more, who
are crowded into very limited space,
and we recommend that the Trustees
use such means as are possible to
relieve this situation at the earliest
possible date, for the manner in which
the pupils are now crowded in said
school building is liable to cause dis
ease and the rapid spread thereof.
vi. The committee on roads re-
ports that the general condition OF
the roads of the county are good, and
show marked improvement. The
roads are continuously being worked
with such funds as are available.
VII. The committee has visited
the chain gang and reports same to
be in good condition. The prisoners
are well fed and properly cared for.
The committee has also visited the
Jail and finds marked improvement
in the sanitary condition thereof.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted,
L. R. MCINTOSH,
Foreman.
