on Tuesday afternoon, and rendered
it's report to Judge DeVore as fol-
lows:
| To the Honorable J. w. DeVore,
judge presiding:
We, the grand jurors for said coun-
ty, do herewith beg leave to make our
presentment:
/. We have passed upon all bills
handed us by the court, and have, aft
er the clear and exhaustive charge of
your honor, passed upon the same.
2. We visited the different Offices
| of the county, and find all in a very
neat condition.; We did not examine
| into the books and accounts of the
different officers, but were handed an
audit of the books made June, 1921,
by the auditor of the Office of the
| comptroller general, and from said
audit it appears to us that all books
and accounts of the different Offices
are in excellent shape.
8. We have visited the Jail, and
find the same in first-class condition
and the prisoners are being treated
| in as humane manner as is conducive
| to the health and welfare of same,
they appear to be we'll cared for and
looked after.
| 4. We have visited the chain gang
thing and are very glad.to report that
everything there is in the best of con-
dition, the prisoners are being we'll
fed and when sick are treated as well
as is possible under the circumstances
and we also find, after investiga-
ton, that the chain gang is doing
some very good and needed work, we
are informed that it is now working
on stretch of road on which it has
never worked since this has been a
county. We take this method Of COM
mending our supervisor for the able
and economical administration of the
financial end of the office; we are in
formed that he has on hand at this
time a nice balance for the purpose
of meeting federal aid for the con-
struction of federal highways.
5. We recommend:
(a). That the different landown-
ers and farmers of the county be re-
quested not to allow their tenants or
laborers to plow into any OF the pub
lie roads of the county, and they also
be specifically requested not to place
fence posts either on the line or in
the right of way of any of the public
roads, and that the supervisor is
hereby requested to notify all land
owners and farmers of this by insert
ing notice in the county papers once
each week during the spring months,
and that the said notice further state
in the form of request to the differ
ent land owners to run and plant
one or two rows of the crop or crops
parallel with the public road which
said field adjoins.
(b) That the roof Of the court
house be painted as soon as it is pos
sible, and if there are no funds avail
able for that purpose, we request that
our delegation in the general assem-
bly, make a specific appropriation for
that purpose.
(c) That we have given careful
consideration of your honor's charge
as to the duties of the several magls-
trates of the county as to binding oV-
er witnesses and having them in
hand at the different courts, and it is
our earnest recommendation to the
magistrates of the county to keep this
very important matter in mind when
binding over witnesses for this court,
and if necessary, demand cash
bond for their appearance.
(d) That the audit as it appears
and made by the auditor of the comp
troller general. be published in both
county papers in installments until
the entire audit shall have been pub
lished for the inspection Of the cit
liens of the county.
(e) That, as soon as possible, af-
ter the supervisor has completed the
work now being done with the chain
gang in the lower portion of the coun-
ty, he be, and is hereby requested, to
build and construct public highway
from Denmark to Olar, on the east
side of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way company, the right of way for
said road having already been gotten
from the several individuals along
