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.

P. for the 736 district. Also that J. E. Har bin be appointed to succeed him self as N. P. and ex. officio J. P. 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.

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 that he will-contimiebjfe* £ff< r s as long as there is an^SssuMilliid Sillli itl tHi So Moie tnftch Troub’es.
