REPORT ON POOR HOUSE.
To the Honorable Superior Court
Pitt
We the Committee appointed by
the Grand Jury of this Term to
visit the Poor House and report
the condition therein, beg leave to
report as follows
We find the buildings all in fair
condition except one, and that
needs to be repaired immediately
for the comfort of the occupants
therein. Some of the inmates need
more bed covering;, blankets, ,
to keep them more comfortable.
They all say they do not get
enough to would like to
have and ought to have some
change of food more than they
get. We think they ought to
have some lard, once in a while.
The premises are not kept as
clean as they ought to be, there
being a good deal filth around
the yard which, we think, tends
to make it unhealthy.
We think they ought to he sup-
plied with better wood and more
light wood. They now have green
pine mostly round, which makes a
very poor fire and causes them to
suffer therefrom.
We would recommend that the
Commissioners dispose of the pres-
Poor House property and in-
vest in some nearer Greenville,
and make and have kept a more
decent and respectable
House.
We further recommend that the
County Commissioners pay u bet-
salary to tho Overseer which
will an inducement to get a
more competent man for

and in a more
We think and recommend that
better arrangements ought to be
made, and compel the Overseer to
live upon the premises so the most
feeble inmates could have more
and better attention
As the Overseer at present
lives several miles away and only
visits there once a eek.
We understand that there is a
good deal of lewdness curried on
there, which ought to be prevent-
ed in some way, and they could
he bettor protected if some good
man as Overseer lived on said
premises.
We also think they ought to
have a House of. Worship for the
benefit of the inmates.
