We having been chosen as the Grand Jury for the September ad journed term, 1887, make the follow ing presentments: We have through our committees examined the public buildings, books of the various offices, pauper list,roads and bridges. We find the jail in a safe condition, but the surroundings are in a very filthy condition, caused by the slop from the inside being thrown out near the building. Wo recommend that the slop from the building bo carried far enough from the jail so as not to affect the health of the prisoners. It has been reported to the committee that the slop from the jail has been allowed to remain in the jail for sever al days at a time before being remov ed. We recommend that said filth bo removed daily. We find the court house, in good condition, except the plastering in the court room and on each side of the ball as you leave Ilia court room, wo recommend that it be attended to at once. Wo have examined the books of the Ordinary, Clerk and Treasurer. - We find them neatly and correctly kept. We also find the books of Sheriff properly kept and in a neat ma ner. Upon examination of the Treasurer’s books we find the following disburse ments since March term of the court, 1887: Amount on hand $3,422 73 Paid out 2,167 81 Balance on hand at this term. 1,254 92 1 With vouchers to correspond. We i recommend that the Treasurer pay ! Brad Ivy, jailor, turn key fees to date sls 60. We find the books of the Receiver ! ; and Collector of Tuxes kept in good j order, the assessments uniform. We rcccommend that the Collector be ! more careful in tilling out the blanks ' on the collector’s execution docket. ! We find the roads in No. 5, between Lamkin’s mill and the school above ! 5 mile post in bad condition. 'Hie roads in No. 2 from the Walton place to Euchee creek not in good condi tion. The same road beginning at Eu chee to top of the hill at pine woods branch we find some parts in bad condition, other parts almost impass- VOL VI NO 4 ■ able. The roads from Harris mill to Lick branch in bad condition. We rcccommend that the railroad com panies have the crossing on all our roads put in good condition. We recommend road lending from the Lincolnton road to Price's mill be re opened on condition that Mr. Price puts the road in good condition be fore the county receives it, us he, Mr. Price, hits agreed to do. We find the bridge on Kiokee creek, below Dr. Bailey’s mill,"in an unsafe condition. We recommend that the proper authorities take im mediate action having the same put in good condition. We recommend I that a bridge be built on Kiokee creek at the ford below Penne’s mill. Wo recommend that a bridge be built across big Kiokee, below R. T. Du- Bose place, as soon as the work call be done, as the old bridg, is in a dangerous condition. The Ordinaiy informs us the contractor's time of this bridge expires the 25th day of (his month. We recommend the Road Commissioners of Noh. 1 and 2 bo presented for neglect. of duty. We find the books of the Justice of the Peace in the main correctly kept, except the books of Z. Kendrick, the cost should be itemized and dated Wo also recommend that (J. L. W»st be reappointed as Justice in the same district. Upon a close nnd careful examina tion of the pauper list of the county we find it growing to such an extent compared to the amount assessed for their support that each one’s pro rata share is not sufficient, therefore wo recommend that the proper authori ties strike from the pauper list the following names. Mrs. Surah Martin, Mrs Mahally Sanders, Mary Martin, Wiley Armstrong, Hnriet Anderson, Ann West, ( lon Porter, Cassie E Ma lone, Mrs Robinson, George Pearre, Sophia I’earre, l’i"ky Burt, Ore Cumming, Nimrod Wimbusb, John Brisco, Susan Tutt, John L Farmer, Win Cann, Rena Cham, Caroline Lamkin, Margaret Darsey, Sam Gar nett, (1 P Eubanks, Nancy Jones. We recommend that the Solicitor be paid his insolvent cost. Wo have elected T. B. Norvell nnd John Q. Spires as members of the Board- of Education to servo until May, 1888, ami Robert Neal, Thomas H. Paschal and A. M. Crawford to serve until 1890. We recommend that these present ments bo publisluul in the Columbia Sentinel. We recommend that the county Treasurer pay N. C. Akridge $6 80. Wo recommend that the Sheriff, bailiffs and jurors bo paid the same as they have been paid heretofore. We sincerely thank his Honor Judge Roney and Solicitor for courte sie- shown this body.
