NOTICE l
The books containg the accounts
of the Treasurer for 1877, and a
portion of my account as Treasurer
for 1878, is missing. It was de-
p .sited in the county safe, and was
taken out f..r th- use of the Grand
Jury at the October term 1879, or
at April term 1880, at one or the
Oilier. At the close of court or af
terwards some one may have remov
al it through mistake. It is a book
with a dark colored pasteboard cov
er, and of about six quires. Any
information concerning it will be
thankfully reoeived.
Auy one bolding orders on the
county issued previous to 1879, is
requested to present the same tor
. payment,as past due orders.

Buti.er. Ga., Nov. 1st., 1881,
Vied.
At the family home in this coun
ty, on Thursday Ootober the 27th
1881, Sudie. Cox, the daughter of
J. W. and Mrs. Francis Cox. At
the time of her death she was sev
enteen years of age, but young as
she was, she had been an invalid
(from disease of the heart) for full
tlireo years ol her life. Fever how
ever was the immediate cause of
her death She bore all her suf
ferings with unfailing fortitude
and uncomplaining patience. For
Sonne time previous to her death,
th* seemed to have a presentment
that the end was near, but showed
no dfetid of the pale king's ap
proach. A few minutes before her
death she fancied she was with her
father, and Inquired about him.
But she rests now from pain and
her pure spirit has winged its way
to a home where sorrow and suffer
ing can ome no more,
” We regret to annoupoe the death
of Mr. Robert W, Respess, which
occurred on Wednesday 26th nit.,
of malarial fever, at Wellborn, 8u-
wanuee county, Fla. His remains
were brought to Butler on Satnrr
day last, accompanied by Mr,
Rodgers, am°St excellent gentler
inan with whom he had beep )ivr
ing. Arriving about H o'clock they
were carried to the home of hjs be
reaved parents, and from thence to
his ls«t resting place in the ceme
tery pear the Baptist church sur-
the Educational New Hoard, j
We have been informed that one
'reason why the Grand Jury at the
October term of our Superior Court
elected all new members of the
Board—save one—, was, not that
the Board had passed a resolution
that common schools all over tho
county should use the samo text
bookB, hut because the Bonrd de
termined to enforce all willful vio
lations of it by witholding from
teachers guilty of such violation a
portion of their pay. The excep
tion taken to this oction, was has
ed we understand, upon the ground
that the Board had no legal author
ity for such action.
Understanding the action of the
Grand Jury to be based upon the
ground stated, we propose to reply
to that objection briefly and alone.
We presume the Grand Jury was
largely influenced by a communica
tion that appeared in the Butler
Hebai.d a snort time prior to the
October term of our Superior court-,
we come to this conclusion the
more readily, from the fact that
the author of the article referred to,
was a member of the Grand Jury.
We can imagine no other reason;
certainly the members of that body
had not examined the law or they
would never have reached the con
clusion that the action of the Board
was illegal. To show how far wrong
a body of men may go when they
Buffer them-elVP- influenced by the
conceited prejudice of ono man, we
will quote the law:
By Section 1260 of the Revised
Code: “The County Board of Ed
ucation shall prescribe from time
to time, what text books of refer
ence shall be used in the common
schools of the county,” etc.
Now the Board hnving the legal
right to prescribe the text books to
be used in the common schools, it
was the duty of the teachers of
those schools to carry out the ao-
t’.’i of the Board requiring the use
of the text books prescribed. But
suppose the tencher neglected this
duty; what then? By section 1262
of the Code, the County Commis
sioner had the right in the contin
gency indicated, to revoke the li
cense of snoh refractory or negli
gent teacher. “The whole is equal
to all the parts.’’ If the Commis
sioner had the right to revoke the
teacher’s license, and thus stop all
his pay, he certainly had the right
to stop a part. But tile teacher
whose license had been revoked,
might appeal to the Board; and
the Board in passing the resolu
tion complained of, was so careful
of the welfare of the several schools
and the rights of teachers that it
was determined, that no teacher's
my should bo kept back until he
ad been heard by the Board; and
it was unanimously agreed by the
Board that it upon the hearing, it
appeared that tne accused teacher
had made an honest effort to earn
out the resolution, that then and
in that event no part of his pat-
should be kept back. Of course it
would have Inn tolly to accompa
ny the resolution with this expla
nation, became it would have ren
dered the action of the Board al
most nugatory.
What the Board did, and all it
could consistently do was just what
it did; namely, the publication of
the resolution, showing that all vio
lations uf it. should be finally pass
ed upon nnd left to the discretion
of the Board.
As to the new members of the
Board we have no objection
make; we doubt not they will make
good and officiint officers; hut it
does seem to us that Grand Juries
have come to believe that they pos
sess all the intelligence ol the coun
try, and that when they die al 1
wisdom will die with them. We
8ay this b-cause it is a fact that in
nine cases out uf tun,whenever they
are called upon to recommend citi•
zens for appointment their selec
tion is from among themselves.
