‘ The City Sexton reports no
interment in the City Cemetery for
the week ending August 28, 187G.
Prof. G. J, Orr, State School Com
missioner, delivered an address at
the State House last Thursday —
Some of our best citizens gave him
an attentive hearing. In his able
defence of the public school system,
he, at least, caused our citizens to
view the subject in a more favorable
light than before hearing him. It
the system is not perfect, and he
does not claim that it is, the co-op
eration and support of it by the bet
ter class of our people is need
ed to make it better. Some sort of
public school system will be certain
to remain in the Constitution how
ever it may be changed in other re
spects,and we desire to see our people
turn it to the host account. We will
not pretend to review the address :
it was able, earnest and convincing,
and we regret that every man in the
county did not hear it. Prof. Orr
will deliver an address in each coun
ty in the State, and wo bespeak for
him a patient hearing. It is proper
to remnvk that he travels without
expense to the State.
Some colored men tell us they
would like to see the Capital brought
back to Milledgeville but they are
afraid a convention would interfere
with their rights. Wo assure these
people thero i3 no desire or inten
tion to interfere with their rights.—
Besides, their rights arc secured by
the Constitution of the United States
and no State can make a Constitu
tion to conflict with that.
Character.—Last week when a
freedman was brought before Judge
Bartlett to receive his sentence, the
Judge enquired, “What has boen this
man’s character? If I10 has borne a
good character previous to this time
I will deal mercifully with him.” Ho
was then asked who he had worked
for, and who was acquainted with
him ? No ono could be found, white
or black, who could say a word in
his favor; ou the contrary, those
called upon knew something against
him ; and he got a year rnoro in the
Penitentiary ou account of his bad
character.
Another colored man put to the
same tost, showed that I10 enjoyed
qbe confidence of those who knew
him, and got off with a lino.
Peaceable and honest living make
a good character, and it is worth a
great deal, not only in getting along
well, but in getting out of any kind
of trouble into which a man may
fall.
Dr. Ulmer’s Liver Corrector is a

Gcllbtt’s Cotton Gin.—We in
vite the attention of cotton planters
to the advertisement, on 4th page,
of Mr. O. M. Stone, cotton factor
and dealer in plantation machinery,
of Augusta, Ga. Among the ma
chines he is offering for sale is Gnl-
lett’s improved cotton gin, which en
joys a fine reputation among cotton-
raisers. We begin to-day, on our
local page, the publication of certi
ficates showing what is thought of
this Gin by those who have tried it,
which will be followed by others
next week. Mr. P. M. Compton is
the agent for tho sale of these Gins
at this place, which is of itself a
good indication, as old ‘reliable’
wouldn’t have anything to do with
them if they were not first rate.

Ti the People ef Baldwin

Some unscrupulous pimp lias giv
en publicity to the report that I had
been nominated by the negroes of
Baldwin county to represent them in
the next Legislature and that I had
accepted the nomination- I denounce
the report as a base, malignant, bare
faced lie and the party from whenco
it came, I denounce as a liar and
a scoundrel, and tho troth is not in
him. 1 have too mnch confidence in
the good people of Baldwin county,
to think they will give credence to
stich a slanderous report touching
my character.
Very respectfully, &c.,

To the Voters of Baldwin County.
From considerable expetience in
the past, I am convinced that no
countryman has any showing in a
county convention, as in such con
vention the town is supreme and the
coimtry, though greatly in tho ma
jority, has no voice. Therefore, I will
not submit my namo for candidacy
in any convention, where tho rights
of tho country havo been uniformly
ignored. Therefore I will not seek,
or accept a nomination by a little
clique of Milledgeville, but relying
upon the great mass of voters, out
side of the city of Milledgeville, I
hereby announce myself ub an Inde-
pendent candidate for the JLegisla-
tutc at the ensuing election. I am
a countryman and farmer, bom and
raised in Baldwin county, and if
elected will bo true and faithful to
the trust which my countrymen will
confide to me.
Very respectfully,

Grind Jury PresontDente.
The Grand Jury of Baldwin coun
ty, chosen, selected and sworn for
August term, 1876, beg leave to make
the following Presentments:
We regret the severe loss to onr
county by the destruction of the
bridge over the Oconoo river by firo
on Saturday morning, tho 19th inst.
We therefore recommend that the
Ordinary proceed at onco to ar
range for the rebuilding of a bridge
at the same place at the earliest pos
sible time, and when rebuilt that the
citizens of Baldwin county shall pass
over said bridge froo of charge or
toll.
Upon examining the bridges, we
find them in good condition. The
committeo on public buildings hav
ing examined tho Jail, report two
rooms, also the passage in hall on
first floor in bad condition and re
commend that tho necessary repairs
ho made at once. Thero are some
repairs needed on the house and
fence of tho Bridge Keeper and
recommend that such repairs be
made as are necessary, and that tho
Ordinary examine all repairs that
may be done on any of the public
buildings or bridges in the county,
before paying for the same, and see
that the work has been done in com
plianco with the contract.
The public roads in the county
are generally in good order.
We have through appropriate com
mittees examined the books of tho
Ordinary, Clerk of the Superior
Court, County Treasurer and Shor
iff, and find them all neatly and cor
rectly kept, accompanied by proper
vouchers.
ORDINARY’S REPORT.
GEORGIA, Baldwin Connty.
Office of Ordinary, )
August tho 21st, 1876. j
To the Grand Jury of Baldwin
Connty for August Term, 1876:
In compliance with my dnty under
the law, I have the honor to sub
mit to your body the following re
port or statement of the condition of
our county:
Bonded Debt.
Macon & Augusta Rail
road Bonds yet to be paid $48,000 00
Baldwin Connty Bridge
Bonds yet to be paid, 11,000 00
Total Bonded debt, $59,000 00
Of which amount, four thousand
dollars of the principal will fall due
January the 1st, 1877, which will
have to be provided for by taxation,
besides the interest on the whole
bonded debt dne and to become due
January 1st, 1877, amounting to a-
bont six thousand dollars.
The whole amount of orders drawn
on the County Treasurer for all pur
poses from January 1st, 1876, to
this date, amounts to $2,915 23 as
follows, to-wit:
To pay Jurors $ 199 25
“ “ Bailiffs 78 00
“ “ Inquests and ex
penses, 1 00
“ Jail fees and ex
penses, 470 70
“ “ Paupers and expn's, 987 10
“ “ Insolvent Cost, no
taxes to be levied for 10610
“ “ Contingent expn’s. 1,073 08
$2,915 23
At tho same date for the year 1875,
there had been drawn orders on the
Treasury to tho amonnt of $7,800 77.
Showing a difference this year in
favor of economy of $4,885 54.
I have collected from all sources,
since Janaary 1st, 1876, to the pres
ent time for the county, two hun
dred and forty dollars and fifty cents,
($240 50,) all of which is correctly
and properly accounted for on the
records of my office.
I regret that it becomes my duty
to report to you the destruction, by
fire on Saturday morning, the 19th
inst., about 2 o’clock, of tho bridge
over tho Oconee river, at this place.
I have no donbt from the best infor
mation I can gather that it was the
act of an incendiary. The county
has four thousand dollars ($4,000 00)
insurance on said bridge in the
“Southern Mutual Insurance Com
pany,” of Athens Georgia. It is a
good Company and doubtless the In
surance will be paid at the proper
time ou demand.
It is impossible to estimate the
valuo and convenience of a bridge
over the Oconee river at this place,
connecting the eastern and western
sections of our county, and I recom
mend to your honorable body that
yon take prompt and decisive ac
tion on the matter, giving direction
as to what course shall or should bo
pursued by the County in the erec
tion of a new bridge, where the
burned one stood, to provide for the
present necessities of our people.
There are six boats now on the river
at the County’s expense gathering np
the irons of the burned bridge and
conveying travelers across the river,
which will be kept in use until other
and more substantial arrangements
can be perfected, which are now in
process of construction.
Taking our great misfortune in
view, in the event your body should
direct tho building of a new bridge,
oar taxes would not exceed the
amount levied last year.
All of which is most respectfully
submitted.
Your obedient servant,
Daniel B. Sanfoed, Ordinary.
To the Grand Jury of Baldwin
County, August Term, 1876:
Gentlemen.—My report to you as
to the doings and actings of the
County Court since last February is
very short. Twenty-seven oases have
been before me within that time, of
which number twenty-five were tried
and disposed of, and in two indict
ments before your body were de
manded. Of these twenty-five, fif
teen were convicted and ten acquit
ted; of those convicted, nine went to
the Chain Gang and the fines of six
were secured payable with security
this fall, for so great has been the
stringency of money matters this
summer, that had immediate pay
ment of fines been insisted on every
one convicted would have gone to
the Chain gang. The amount col
lected in fines is only six dollars and
fifty cents, which has been paid to
to the officers of Coart and receipted
for by them. The amount seemed
to be paid this fall, is three handled
and thirty dollars, from cases tried
since last February.
Respectfully submitted.
F. C. Furman,
Judge C, C. B. C.
We have also examined the books
of the Judge of the Connty Court
and find them correctly kept We’
deem it not flattery to say that he
has discharged faithfully tho duties
of the trust confided to him to the
satisfaction of the citizens of the
county.
Bat os the Connty Court was es
tablished and organized, not, as we
conceive as a necessity, but as an
experiment and being fully satisfied
as a body that the Court has not
been advantageous to the citizens or
people, we therefore recommend I
that the Connty Court of Baldwin
connty be abolished and that onr Sen
ator and Representative be request
ed to have the act establishing Conn
ty Coart repealed and all offences
below a felony tried by the Justices
of the Peace of the connty where the
crime was committed.
We, also, instruct onr Senator and
Representative, whoever they may be,
in the next General Assembly, to ad
vocate and vote for the call of a
Constitutional Convention to make a
new Constitution for Georgia.
Inasmuch as some designing pets
sons in the State are seeking to
manufacture political capital out of
the abduction and supposed murder
of one Joe Morris, lately imprisoned
in the public chain gang in this conn
ty, we deem it proper to take special
notice of this case. Wo earnestly
desire to enforce the law and do con
demn, in tho most emphatic lan
guage of which wo are capable,
such violations of the law as this is
supposed to be, and ir there has l>een '■
any suppression of the transaction 1
by any citizen in this community we
deplore that fact. But we aro bound
in tho interest of troth to say that
we have sworn a large number of
witnesses both white and colored,
such as have been reported to us a
most likely to havo knowledge of
the facts and have exhausted all the
means in onr power to unearth the
matter, but are unable to find any
evident e at all implicating any man
or men known to the witnesses or
this body. To ns it remains a mys
tery. But we believe that the white
citizens of Baldwin and Wilkinson
counties have no knowledge of the
transaction. We further say that
we find from the examination of bon
erable witnesses that the disguised
body of men by whom he was token
were not at Stevens’ Pottery on the
day of his abduction as has been charg
ed. We farther find that the stores at
Gordon were not closed on that day
as charged. We find no evidence to
sustain any of the rumors and re*.
ports in circulation tending to im*
plicate the good people of the com~
munity; and regret that such reports
should gain belief, founded as they
seem to us to be, npon the most
flimsy, unreliable and uncertain evi
dence.
We tender our thanks to his Hon
or Judge Bartlett and Solicitor

tions of the age.
Cheap and Reliable!
D OING THE WORK CLAIMED for them

iug a Gin House must have a CLEANER, and

interest to call upon or address me before pur
chasing elsewhere. With a saving of from
iwouly live to tif:y per cent., you can get a
Pi oss excelled by none.
Pickens Colnty, Ala., April 21,1876
We the undersigned, do hereby cenify that
we have seen Lee’s SIMPLE COTTON
CLEANER” nt woik, and that it will do all
the inventor claims for it, viz: It will take out
at least three-fourths of the trash and every par
ticle of d 11, and enhance dirty cotton ia valne
from two to three cents per pound.

From Messrs. Newbould Sl Son, Woodville,
N. C.:
“The Roanoke Cotton Press purchased of you
last season has proved entirely satisfactory. We
had nsed two other Presses before purchasing
yours, but found objectionable features in themt
we therefore threw them aside, intending to oon*
tinue trying until we found one to suit us. We
have examined several ot the leading Presses,
but prefer yours to any we have seen. For
speed and strength we think it iB without a
rival. We have seen two of the leading Presses
at work and are satisfied we can pack a bale in
half the time it will take to pack with them.
We therefore recommend it to bo a first-class
Press in every respect,”
From Mr. A. Vaun, Rich Square, N. C.:
“I have pressed one hundred eixty-eigbt bales
in my Roanoke Cotton Press. Some weighing
five hundred and eighty pounds. My press la in
splendid order, and if not consumed by fire, I
think it will last an age.”
Call on me and examine working
models of both Press and Cleaner.
