This represents all the funds for which I am chargeable and which are in my
hands to be now turned over to Mr.Howard Godwin, my successor in office.
I have not itemized these accounts to the parties entitled for the reason
that I have not had access to the books, due to the fact that H.C.Northrup & Co.
have been conducting an audit of this office and they have had the books of the
office for the past five weeks. At the first of November I began on my report
so that I might have it in regular itemized form for you but the day after I
started the auditors who are now checking my office came and they have had
constant and uninterrupted use of all my books and records ever since, to such
an extent that I have been unable to have the use of them for making a report.
Therefore, 'I respectfully submit this my report and ask that it be accepted.
For the past two weeks I -have been geeting up this data at night when I had
access to the books and I only completed. this Saturday night, after the most
arduous labor that I have ever done. You will observe on the first sheet that
there is in the Bank of Lillington and loans on real estate sufficient funds to
pay every cent the Clerk's office is due.

NORTH CAROLINA;
Harnett County:
To the Honorable Board of Commissioners of Harnett County:
I desire to call to the attention of your Honorable Board the amount of money
I have turned into the treasury of Harnett County since the last First Monday in
December 1937.
I have endeavored to collect all fees and funds coming through my office due
the County and I have remitted them to you monthly.
I am leaving office today with all work up to date and with all books intact.
However, the Cross Indexes to the Judgment Dockets are in bad, dilapidated
condition and their use is dangerous to the rights of the citizens of the County.
I have repeatedly asked for the re- indexing of the Judgments in order that we
might have a new, strong index and an index which could not be easily destroyed.
The present index is in such shape that the leaves therein can be easily torn
our and that the leaves themselves are rotten. As stated, they are now intact
and if any loss should arise from their condition this is notice to you that I
have given ample notice thereof.
The amount I have turned into the treasury of the County dnrigg the past
year and up to date is $9,621.97.
Kindly have this report recorded in your minutes.
Respectfully submitted, this the 5 day of December, 1938.

"NORTH CAROLINA: IN THE SUPERIOR COURT
Harnett County: NOVEMBER TERM 1938.
TO HIS HONOR, Judge Clawson L.Williams, Judge Presiding:
We, the Grand Jury at this Term of Harnett Superior Court, do respectfully
submit the following Report of our findings and recommendations:
1. It have carefully considered and passed upon all Bills of Indictment sent
by the Solicitor and have returned them into the Court after having carefully
considered and passed upon them.
2. We have visited the Stat e Highway and Public Works Commission Camp near
Lillington and find same in excellent condition, and we wish to commend the
authorities for the very able and efficient manner in which the Camp is being
conducted. We were especially impressed with the cleanliness of the Camp.
3. We have visited the County Home and find it kept in excellent condition,
and the inmates satisfied. We wish to commend Mr.Bradley, the Superintendent,
for the able manner in which he has conducted same.
4. We inspected the several offices in the Courthouse and find that the work
of the officers is highly satisfactory and we wish to commend them for their
efficiency.
5. We inspected the jail and find that in excellent shape. We have never
found any jail any where any cleaner than our jail, and we wish to commend
Mr. and Mrs. Matthews for their services.
6. We inspected all the school busses in the County and find that all of them
except one appear to be in good running shape. During the supmer all of them were
repaired and they are now giving good service except one.
7. We wish to make the following recommendations and direct that they be
carried out at once:
1. That new Bibles be purchased at once for the use in the court room
and in the several offices of the Courthouse.
2. We recommend that the men's toilet in the courthouse be put in
first -class condition at once, and that all needed new material be put in them
at once.
3. We recommend that new steps be put at both front and rear of the
living quarters of the jail, because the old steps at both places are about to
fall down. We further recommend that certain of the rooms in the living quarters
of the jail be replastered at once.
8. We recommend that School Truck No. 57, which is a 1934 Chevrolet model,
now serving Lafayette School, be replaced at once, for we find that this truck
is practically worn out and that some days the children cannot be transported in it.
9. We recommend that mats be placed in all school busses. •
10. In our report to Your Honor at the First September Term 1938, we
recommended that the men's toilet in the courthouse be repaired, that mats be
placed in all school busses, and that the living quarters of the jail be repaired.
We find this has not been done and we are directing Your Honorts attention to
this fact, and ask that if these recommendations, together with the others made in
this report, are not carried out that some action be taken against the proper
authorities.
We wish to thank the court for its very able charge given us when we began
our labors for it was the finest charge we believe has ever been delivered to a
Grand Jury in this County. We also wish to thank the Solicitor and other officers
for their co- operation and assistance given us at this Terra.

TO THE .HONORABTE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, of Harnett County, Lillington, N.C.:
The audit which I am making of the office of the Clerk of Superior Court
according to contract, has progressed sufficiently to enable me to point out to
you two matters of interest whictsi ;;,'as an Auditor, I should not ignore. On the
other hand, they pertain to matters entirely within the knowledge of Hon.
L.M.Chaffin, if in fact he should have personal knowledge of them; and his
statements in reference to these matters may not be impeached, as a result
of the audit.
The matters to which I have reference are the following:
(1) In our audit of June 30, 1935, there was charged against Hon.L.M.Chaffin
Clerk of Superior Court, interest accounts in the sum of $982.08. Mr.Chaffin
represented then, as he now dos', ,that he inherited a shortage from the former
Clerk, Mr.A.A.McDonald; that he was on a fee basis, and that to build upoa
reserve to cover a part of the shortage, he withdrew from the fees to which he
was entitled only such a reduced amount as his necessities then required, thus
leaving much of his fees on interest, and that these fees were his individual
property and, therefore, he was entitled to the interest on same. There is no
means of determining the eaaot?aamount of the individual fees of Mr.Chaffin
which were left on interest as distinguished from some of the other amounts which
may have been on interest. It is apparent, however, that Mr.Chaffin did not
withdraw all of the fees to which he was entitled, and that some of his fees
did remain -in the bank on interest.
(2) In our audit of June 30, 1935, we showed outstanding checks to the
amount of $1134.35. The entries on the books show that each of these items had
been paid by check, and each of the items were shown marked "paid by check" on
the books of Mr.Chaffin's office. We set this up as a liability for the reason
that we were unable to locate the paid checks.
Mr.Chaffin explained then, as he does now, that several of the checks were
not paid by the bank for the reason that the bank closed, and that he, as the
checks were presented to him paid them, thereby saving the necessity of second
entrie on his books showing the issuance of further checks coverin the same
items.) Mr.Chaffin further explains that some of the checks were returned to
him by ;mail for that the addresses of some of the persons to whom they were
mailed were incorrect and could not be determined. He estimates that of the
total checks aggregating $1134.35 outstanding on June 30, 1935, and which are
13
now outstanding, that $200.00 to $300.00 of said amount is still outstanding,
and checks representing same have never been paid by him. Therefore, he suggests
that he be allowed to pay $250.00 and clear up this old item.
This information is given to you for such action as you may deem proper
and necessary under the circumstances.
Very truly yours,
