T'he report of the County Schook
Commissioner was read to our body
and we were pleased to note that ed
ucational affairs are making some
progress in our county as shown by

< We have’ r'cgeiv&ta_nd faccepted
‘.thcs"p?r't: of ‘the’book commitire, as
a part of these presentments, which
reads as follows:
We, the committee, appointed by
the Crand Jury of the October term
ot the Superior Court Igoß, for thel
purpose of examining the books of
the variovs county officers, beg to
submit the following report;
T'reasurer’s Books.—We find that
the treasurer has received since last
examiration of the books the snm
of 5245.21 as county taxes, which
added to a former balance of $4068.
63 makes a total of " 35713.84. He/|
has paid out 1058 .30 leaving a bal-;
ance, according to the books, of
46060.54 to the credit of the county,
County Court,—We find the treas
urer'r retords of the county court
SI.OO A YEAR.
[are well kept, but it occurs to the
members of this committee, accord
ing to information furnished us, that
certain funds belonging to the cred
it of the county court, were paid out
18 expense which ought to have
been paid out of the regulur county
furds. As the books now stand, it
shows a dcficit in the treasury of the
county court,
Sale Record.—This book we find
correctly kept, and everything filled
out in regular fo'm. There have
been very few sales since the last ex
amination of this record, conse
quently but few entries have been.
made,
Ordinary’s Books.—=~We have ex
lammed the books ot the present or
dinary as well as those of his prede
cessor and find them all in true and
_SN T “.rm;';" iy R m
kept; ail proceedings ot their meet
ings properly recorded in their min
ute book., We noticed that all or
ders were properly paid out,
County School Commussioners
Books.—The- books belonging to
this office were carefully examined.
For neatness and accuracy, the keep
cer of these books deserves commen
dation. We have gone over all
funds received from the State Treas
urer as well as those from the con
vict fund, and find that they were
all properly applied, and that the
stmple system of bookkeeping em
ployed by the present commissioner
shows all expenditures at a glance.
Jail Records,—The jail records,
beginning with Jan. 9th 1908 and
extending up to April 2nd 1909
shows that $760, 50 was paid out for
board of prisoners and key fees dur
ing this period. We recommend.
that all entries be made in full - and.
that a full ('.f,é,scri‘ption of .each pris
oner be entered in:regular form.
"Aside from these omissions we find'
the book wcll;lk(;pt. £
. Clerk’s Bovks,—We have exam

find the court docket and minutes of
the courts kept Yin a¢commendable
way. The book of platsgin which
