We take pleasure iu calling attention to Iju splendid moral, liuaucit.l uud edit: tliuo- si exhibit ol Washington county as set tonli by the tiiand Dquest in their pres utmenls published in this issue. The decrease in crime aud in tho numhi i ol inmutes of the Home for the l'o ir are just ly attributed to the growing rnord and law- abiding sentiment of the people and Ihu in- creasing prosperity ol the citizens of Ibt oounty. Tho financial status of the county is e.-p c- Lily gratifying. Notwithstanding tho rate of ux has been lower, probably, tuun at any time in tho history ot the county, and thi heavy expeusts in the erection aud repair iug of the large number ot bridges, a sat plusage of »(»,U00 is reported on hand. There ure 23 bridges in the county, all iu good condition, including the long bridges ovsr the three rivers, Ogotohoe, Oconee aud Oboople, and those ol Willtumson’s Swamp, Buffalo, Keg, Sunil Hill, aud Cowpen ere ks and other water courses. The educational interests are shown to bt carefully guarded aud advanced. Tbu lurgi number of bcUooIb aud ol pupiiH iu attend ance, both white and colored,gives evidence of tho diligence and vigilance of those in olinrge and of the larger intelligence auu prosperity of our people. There are 101 schools in the county, white and colored, number of teachers 131, num ber of pupils, 5,'JC7, an aggregate that will compare favorably in proportion ol popula tion with tliut ot any county iu the state. Every oounty ofiiuer, Ordinary, Clerk, Tax Collector, and Tax Receiver, was highly cum- mended by the committee auditing their books, also by the Grand Jury in their pre sentments lor tho excellent order in whicn their books and accounts were touud, A oounty thus ably officered, whoso inte.-- erestfl are so faithfully conserved by trust- worty custodians can not fail to make uqiuj progress in eiery direction thut tends to ma terial development. mu! prosperity, Aa Attractive Osmlilud POCKET ALMANAC and mkmokanihjm im>ok BKOWX'S IRON BITTKKS Emtoii llEitAbi): Owing to the continued rains, the formers ot this community are badly behind.

Oconee, Gs., March 17th 1891. advwrtuinf brown’ ^aasassi away at Drutf and Mn«y Monti; ami duly brought to the attention of thin body dating its sessions. We can only rely upon the public to report to us violations! J law which do not eotntf directly under the knowl edge of members of the Grand Jury. Without the hearty co-oporation of the citizens at large the services and efficiency of this body must fall far short of the purposes for which the Grand Jury was instituted. We arc gratified to observe that from the number of complaints brought before us the violations of the prohibition laws are becoming less frequent, although there are, no loubt, some instances which are nev- ■r brought to light; and in those eases which are reported to us it is almost impossible to secure evidence to convict, no matter how guilty the arty may be. We are forced to acknowledge, witli alarm, the growing disposition on the art of so many citizens of the county, both white and colored, to disregard tho law against carrying concealed weapons. Wo regard this practice as being productive of more crimes and suffering than any other that has come to our notice. The crime of gambling also, especially among the colored people, prevails to a great ex tent, and is almost invariably com bined with that of carrying concealed weapons. We call upon tho good people of our county to unite their efforts in putting a stop to these two practices especially, by presenting before the Grand Jury without fear, favor, or affection all persons known to be guilty of either offense ; for without your assistance this blight upon the good reputation of our county will remain and grow. The reports of committees appoint ed to examine the various hooks and records in tho different offices of the county report as follows: ORDINARY’S OFFICE.

The schools of the county liavo greatly increased their attendance, showing that more interest is being taken in educational matters than ever before. Our people are alive to the importance of the subject, and tlie facilities to obtain an education, now afforded by our Public School System, are most excellent. The teachers are as a rule experienced, capable and faithful, and I believe accomplish much good.

There has been no business trans acted in the office of Tax Receiver since the September term of court, and for that reason no report upon that office is necessary, with the fol lowing exception, to which wc direct the Solicitor’s attention: Wc find that Mr. Jesse A. Robson, an attorney practicing law at this court at the present time, has neither returned n(>r paid tho professional tax for 1890, as required by law. Wo commend the present Receiv er, Mr. E. D. Strange, as a faithful and competent officer, and feel that the county’s interests arc safe in his hands. TAX COLLECTOR’S OFFICE. We find the books in tbit* office very correctly kept, and stubs of all receipts properly preserved. We believe the present incumbent to be a faithful public officer and well qual ified to discharge the duties oi' his office. A detailed account of the amounts received through the Col lector’s oflico will appear further on iu the report of the standing finance committee. SHERIFF’S OFFICE. An examination of the Sheriff’s books shows them to be kept in ac cordance with the law, proper entries being made of levies, sales, arrests, ttc. It comes to our notice, howev er, that numerous criminals for whom warrants have been issued tire still at large; we therefore call the atten tion of our Sheriff to that fact aud recommend that he he more vigilant and prompt in executing all warrants placed in his hands and arresting of fenders against the laws. too oo 130 7 01 00 0 50 20 30 19 01 25 00 24 187 92 200 00 JUSTICES OF THE PEACE AND NO TARIES PUBLIC.

Thigpen, the officer in charge, is an honorable and efficient Treasurer. His books are neatly and carefully We have carefully examined the dockets submitted by these officers from all parts of the county, aud find them kept as the law requires. For the purpose of filling vacancies already existing, or soon to occur, we recommend the following appoint inents to offices of Notary Public and ex-officio J nstice of the Peace : B. D.

We find the public buildings to be iu good condition, all needed repairs having been attended to by the Ordi nary during the past six months. The jail, however, while in probably ns good repair as the present building can be kept, we consider unlit for use, being unsafe, and destitute of any means for preserving the comfort of inmates. Salter’s. There are 28 bridges in tho county, aggregating in length,7,607 ft, ol tres tle, and 2,640 ft. of earth work. In addition to these, there are 0 county line bridges, of a total length of 2,049 ft the repairs upon which, are divided between the adjoining tounlles, in proportion to the amount >f taxable property in tho counties respectively, to which each bridge belongs. HOME FOR TIIE POOR. The committee appointed by this Grand Jury have visited tiie Home, and concur in the report submitted by the standing committee appointed it the September term, which is hero given We find the home kept in perfect order, in nil respects, and tho inmates well contented. We think a furnace and kettle should bo placed in the wash-house, for the use and convon ieneo of the inmates. We have de cided that there are too many cattle at the Home, far more than are nec essary, and recommend that a por tion of them be disposed of, and thereby reduce the cost of feed. There ure now at the Home, the following inmates: White, Malos 5 “ Females 9--14 Colored Males 4 " Females 1--5 Total 10 We are gratified to learn that ap plications for admission to the Home ' avo almost ceased, and wo construe this fact as additional evidence of the growing prosperity of the citizens of our county. In addition to the inmates of the Homo, there are seven persons known as “Out-door Poor” who re ceive assistance from the county, through the Ordinary. We strong ly recommend that this number 1 not increased, unless the Ordinary is perfectly satisfied that the applicant is particularly deserving,and that the issistance so rendered, would amount to less than if the party were admitt ed to the Home. Wo think tl Home the proper medium through which to render charity, and we urge that all future beneficiaries be cared for, as nearly as possible, through that institution. We recommend that Berry Wat son (col) of the 98th District G. M be paid fifteen dollars ($16.00) addi tional to the amouut already paid him, for board and cure of Frank Watts (wounded) previous to his ad mission to home for the poor. none in our state, in point of intelli gence and moral worth; and we should feel proud of the high position she occupies.

Mr. Evans enjoys our ontire confi dence, and we are proud to acknowl edge his high order of intellect, his love of right, aud his unceasing de votion to the cause of justice. We unanimously recommend his election to tho office of Solicitor, at the re-as sembling of the Legislature. Wo cannot refrain from expressing our profound appreciation of the eiu- incut services rendered our county, >y that model officer, Hon. Mark Newman, Judge of the Court of Or- linury. Wo are convinced that tiro excellent financial condition of our county, by which we are enabled to build new bridges, and erect new public buildings when needed, under t low rate of taxation, is due in a ijreat measure,’ to his maguificent management. We also desire to ten* ler our thanks to Major Newman, for courtesies shown this body. In taking leave of their honors, J udgo lainhlo and Judge Boynton, preaid- ng during the first and second weeks, •espoctively, we wish to acknowledge he consideration shown us as a body and tho kindness received tit their hands.
