public buildings report as follows:
We find the inmates of the farm
nine in number well cared for
and satisfied. We find the farm
in fairly good condition, with 18
acres in corn and about 25 acres
in cotton. Also 2 acres sown and
being sown in forage, Also a
large garden in fine condition.
We find the following repairs
needed: Stove flue in kitchen
and chimney in kitchen and also
'ytf.hen floor-repaired-w^he north
room of superentedent’s house
needs ceiling on three sides.
We find the jail in bad sanitary
condition. Also in great need of
repairs, and we recomend that
the proper authorities have the
jail put in first class condition at
once, so that the prisoners can be
kept safely and the health of the
inmates and surrounding citizens
may be protected.
We recomend that the board
of county commissioners in con
nection with the repairs and im
provements, which they have
been recommended to make on
the county jail, enlarge the jail
well and erect a durable stand
pipe or tank large enough to fur
nish an adequate water supply
supply for the jail sewerage and
for water closets to pe placed in
the court house and connected
with jail sewer for filling above
standpipe or tank.
We recommend that a modern
windmill or gasoline engin be
usedfand we further recommend
that the commissioners confer
with the town authorities with a
veiw to making the standpipe or
tank large enough to furnish fire
protection not only to the county
property but to the contrally lo
cated town property, both county' 1
and town sharing in an equitable
streets worked.
We find after careful investiga-
with the scarcity of labor especi
ally in rural districts of our county
that we connot keep pace with the

for the 1273 district G. M.
We recommend that the license
of R. G. Duke be extended to al
low him to peddle in Douglas
county for a period of twelve
months.
We recommend that the county
commissioners have a bridge
built across the creek at Dodson
& Cowan’s gin on route No. 1
from Winston, not to exceed $25
in cost.
We also recommend a bridge
built across the creek at the Feely
ford on the Douglasville and old
Villa Rica red road.
We recommend that the county
commissioners carry out the rec
ommendation of the May term
1904 and build a bridge across
Anawaka creek at a place known
as the Selman ford on Campbell
ton road.
We recommend that a thirc
class public road to opened com
mencing near G. T- Rutherford’s
gin and intersecting the road lead
ing by C. N. Brown and others at
the residence of Mrs. C. A. Ander
son, we also recommend that
new first clast public road com
mencing at a point on the old Vil
lia Rica and Douglasville road,
about two hundred yards west of
Mrs. Martha Feeley’s old resi
dent of Marion Morris as petitonec
for by J. H. Gable and others.
We find that the public roads
ifthe 1259th, 1260 and 1272 dist
ricts are in every bad condition,
and we recommend that the road
commissioner’s of the above nam
ed districts berequired to show
cause at the November term of
court why said roads are not
worked.
We find the public roads in the
other five district the Cambleton
road. The Tallapoosa road from j
the corporate limits of Lithial
Springs to- Cobb County line. Al- j
so the] abuttments to tha Strick
land bridge in Salt Springs dis-
trict-
The Douglasville and Whiteburg
road between H-J. Daniel’s mill,
with its several amendments.
We recommend that the dis
trict commissioners of'the 1273rd
and 1230th districts, G. M., re
quire the 1 Southern Railway Co.
to fix the crossings where needed,
according to law.
After careful consideration we
recommend that the sinking f und
to pay off and retire the court
house bonds be placed in some
good solvent bank, on time de
posit, at the highest rate of in
terest possible, where it will be
safe and 'only be paid on the
fund for which it was levied and
collected as provided by law.
We deplore the fact that our
prisoners broke jail last Friday
night, and that some of them es
caped, and after investigation
we think it partly caused by the
jailor being too careless. We
recommend that the jail be made
secure and that the jailor be more
careful in the future in keeping
the prisoners secure.
In taking leave of the court we
extend to Judge Bartlett our ap
preciation for the able and im
partial manner in which he has
presided over the court of our
county; also to W. K. Fielder,
olicitor general, for his active
and energetic efforts to suppress
crime in our county, and for his
counsel and many courtesies
shown our body during its sesr
sion. We extend to C. B. Weath
erly, court stenographer, our
thanks for type writing our gen
eral presentments. We further
extend our thanks to J. IL SeL

tention in waiting oh our horivjy.-.

COURT ADJOURNED ,
LAST FRIDAY. I
The Superior Court adjourned j
last Friday afternoon; and the
traverse jurors were discharged
for t,lie.term. The grand jury was j
released for the time being, sub
ject to'be called, together at the
adjourned term.
Judge Bartlett stated that an
adjourned term of Douglas Coun
ty Superior Court would be held
the last of J uly or some time in
August, to try disqualified cases;
and other unfinished business in
the calendar. The time will be
fixed as .soon as a judge can be
obtained.
Next to the last case tried 2d
week was the case of J, S. James
vs W. A. Taylor and A. Q. Tay
lor which resulted in a verdict
for the defendants.
Mr. James had sued them for
$335 besides,'interest, balance of
attorney fees, for representing
W. A. Taylor in three casSs,—
one for 'assaitii with intent--to
murder, one for incestuous adul
tery, and one case in which liis
wife sued for divorce and alimo
ny.
The first two named cases were
Carried to the Supreme Court
and reversed. In one : of them,
W. A. Taylor was sentenced to
8 years in the penitentiary and,
the other, for three years.
James succeeded in' having
Taylor relieved from both of
these sentences. The alimony
suit was also carried to the Su
preme Court by James for Tay
lor, and wolfld have been revers
ed but was .compromised.
It was said by the lawyers dis
cussing the case before the jury,
that James had written enough
in these three cases for Taylor to
have made a book as large or
larger than the Code of Georgia,
if it had been printed in a book
of a similar size of printed mat
ter, '
. A motion for a new trial' has
been made in the case IJ: S.
James, and he says if it is neces
sary in order to niabe Taylor pay
the balance of his fee sued for he
will carry the present case to
the Supreme Court as many
times as he did for Taylor: ami
