We find the above bosks all correctly and very neatly kept. We also find the proper vouchers all re- eerded upon the proper boak*. We vouchen ' »• of the office kept separate, labeled and indexed, which is a great convenience to the county. " e don t think ioo much can be said in favor of our very efficient Ordi. nary for the manner in which he keeps his hooks and papers. SHERIFF. Committee reports as follows on ibe Sheriff of the ceunty : We find his books and papers prop¬ erly and correctly kept. All entries properly made. We congratulate the citizen* of the county upsn having a gaod and capable Sheriff'. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE AND NOTARIES PUBLIC. We find the deckets of these officers properly and correctly kept. COUNTY FARM. The paupers arc well fed, clothe 1 and attended. There arc fourteen «f them properly registerdd—five whites and ni»e colored; two white hoys, three white women, five negro men and font negro women. Al' well sat¬ isfied. There arc three hired 1 antis on the i farm, besides the overseer. i l'rop.-tty on tho farm : One at $8 per month and hoard. One at $10 per month and board. One at $450 per month and board. (Cook and nurse.) Oversee; » wages $250 per annum. Two mules, in geod condition. One 2-horse wagon and harness. Seven head cattle, of which two are milch cow*. Two head hogs. ! One sulky plow. One Acme harrow. One set black smith tool*, with port¬ able forge, 1 vice, 1 anvil, with tongs, hammers, etc. Value about $35. One grind stone. One cotton planter. Two single nad one double plow stocks. Blow hoes enough te run the farm ! until after planting time, i Weeding hoes, spades, rakes, etc., sufficient for a two-horse farm. Abeut 175 bushels of corn. About 1,000 lbs. old and 2,400 lbs. new fodder. 300 htuhel* cotton seed. 10 biuhel* peas, 1 barrel syrup, (40 gallons) stalks ribbon cane, 20 bushel* potatoes. GROWING CROP AND ORCHARD Nine and one-half acres in wheat fine condition, in fact the West wheat we have seen in the county About 400 fruit trees, old and young PROSPECTIVE CROP. The overseer informs us that lie instructed to plant the following crop tit is spring 20 acres in corn 40 acres in cotton. 4,000 stalks sugar cane—all seed hand. * This, together with garden, potatees, etc., will make s total abeut 63 acres. The cabins for paupers, barn?, bles, etc., are iu good condition. The dwelling house of the needs repairing very much and once. The sills supporting it on north and east sides are rotted and should be replaced with new without delay, t^uite a number of pillars supporting the house need pairs. Most of the windows need new or the repairing of the old ones. A great many glass are broken out of windows, and in fact the building old and delapidated, aud needs a eral renovation, and we suggest that be repaired as early as practicable. The collar under the house, used a storage room for provisions, etc., think should be filled up at once, as i8 now full of stagnant water and certainly create sickness if it as it is much longer. We suggest that the front fence the dwelling be repaired by the en the place, the County ers furnishing the material. EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS FOR THE We find that the have paid out, up to Hits time, 13, 1888) for expenses of farm, 51, and have received for sale ef produce and value of produce now hand,$1,111.62. Leaving abalance maintaining paupers of $474.89 ; is about $34.00 per capita of paupers. The Couuty Commissioners and Overseer report to us that there some controversy between them Mr. Lucius Johnson io regard to rails taken by Mr. Johnson and ed by tlie Overseer as the property the county. We : ocommend that the sioners take such steps as will the ownership of the rails, and if were wrongfully taken by Mr. that he be made to pay for Hu m replace them. We find that the former sale of old farm was not consumated on count of the failure of the to comply with his contract, and recommend that the County sioners ex*-rci»c their best judgment regard to it, and do tho very best can for the couuty in the matter.

COUNTY COMMISSION ERS, We find these books aud papers neatly and properly kept, with prop or vouchers for all disbursements. W'e feel indeed sad while looking over these book?, recognizing as we do the many figures aud loiters made by that faithful and never tir ing hand which is now stilled in death, never again to wield the pen which has accomplished so much for his fellow citizens. Yes, indeed, Samuel W. MangLam was a truly useful man in whatever position ho wns placed, and we wish to lay our small tribute at the feet of coble worth and to express io the I treavW family our sincere and benrtfslt condolence at tho irrepaia bio loss they have sustained.

We recommend that it be dis continued ns such, but that ii re main open and be a twenty foot road* In justice, however, to Mr Allen, we suggest that if be so desires, he may keep up Ibis road by the work of the hands on his place, which work shall be in lieu of any work the law may require of them on olhet g roads. Charges having been preferred against the road commissioners of Orrs district (1065 G.

The County Commissioners report that they have been careful and diligent iu the die charge of tbeir duty and deserve the approbation of the ci( : s;ns <}f the District. We recommend Hint jurors and bailiffs be paid two dollars per day lor their s< t vices and that riding bailiffs he paid otto dollar extra when they furnish tbeir own horse.
