COVINGTON, GA., OCT. 7, 1885.
BATHER CROWDED.
Owing to the crowded condition
of our columns by the publication
of the grand jury presentments and
Judge Stewart’s able addres--, we
are compelled to leave out our usual
amount ot local and news items this
week. After this we hope to make
ouroolumns abound with renewed
IntmrmH,. We bespeak for Judge
Btewwt’i address a careful perusal
by every reader of tbe Star. It
will be found very interesting.
Grand Jury Presentments
Tbo grand juror?, cbor-en and sworn
for the September term of Newton su¬
perior court, beg leave to make tbe fol¬
lowing general presentments :
PUBLIC ROADS AND BRIDGES.
We have, through our committee, in¬
quired into the condition of the public
r«»d» and bridges of our county, and
find that the roads are in fair condition,
but, owing to the recent heavy rains,
8oni» ol the ditches have been filled up:
and we recommend that the overseers
again go over them and have such repairs
tuu-b- as the roads may need. We find u II
the bridges to be in good condition,
except Butler’s, w hich is unfit and dan¬
gerous for crossing. We recommend
that it be repaired at once, or taken
down, no as to secure the irons and tim¬
bers from loss or damage.
THE ORDINARY.
We have, through our committee, ex¬
amined the books and records of the
Ordinary, Judge E. F. Edwards, and are
pleased to find them kept in a neat, leg¬
ible, and business-like manner, and ev¬
erything pertaining to the office conven¬
iently and systematically arranged.
CLERK SC f>EItIOR COURT.
We have examined the records in the
office of the clerk of the superior court,
Maj. John B. Davis, through our com¬
mittee, and find them neatly and correct¬
ly kept, and the papers as conveniently
and systematically arranged as it is pos¬
f sible for that efficient officer to keep
them. But owing to the unsettled con¬
dition of the office since the destruction
of the old court house by fire, and the
consequent derangement of the great
mass of papers in the clerk’s office, we
find it will be impossible for the present
efficient clerk to get all the papers of
the.office properly arranged iu the fire¬
proof vault of our new court house,
without some assistance: and we there¬
fore recommend that he be authorized
to employ a clerk for that purpose, for
such reasonable length of time as he
may find it necessary to do the work;
and that such assistant be paid sucli a
salary as may be agreed upon by the
clerk, the board of county commission¬
ers, and suid assistant. The clerk has
made his statement under oath in accor¬
dance with the law.
TAX RECEIVER.
We have examined the digest of the
Tax Receiver, Mr. J. W. Stephenson,
and are pleased to find it one of the
neatest, and most business-like digests
we have ever examined. We find some
little discrepancy in the return of some
property, which we hope the tax pay
era will correct themselves, without the
intervention of a grand jury. We find
the aggregate value of property in the
county to exceed that of last year by
the handsome sum of $68,344, which is
a feet highly encouraging to every citi
»n. The total value of property return¬
ed this year is $2,116,268.
THE NUMBER OK ROLLS.
We find the number of polls in our
county, returned the present year, to lie
2,015. Number of defaulters 7 white
and 15 colored.
CUUNTY TREASURER.
We have examined the books and
vouchers of our county treasurer, Mr.
Jno. F. Henderson, and find them care¬
fully and correctly kept. We find every
entry or credit properly supported by a
voucher. Each book has been correctly’
balanced, showing the amount due the
county in his hands up to, and includ¬
ing, September 1, 1885, which is as fol¬
lows :

The treasurer made his report to our
body under oath, as required by law.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
It affords us great pleasure to note the
near completion of our splendidand hand
some new court house, and congratulate
the people of our county upon the erec¬
tion of such a beautiful and substantial
building for the public nse. We trust it
may stand as a monument to the intel¬
ligence and high order of the civilxation
of our citizens through the coming ages,
and that it may mark the present as the
daw ning of a new era in the progress of
our love and high esteem of law and
order. We feel it our duty to return
thanks to our county commissioners,
who have labored without othei reward,
for this cleg..ut building, which marks
eur county as the |>osse»t>or of a court
house not second to any in the state, and
of which every citizen of our county,
from the hiiinbb*' to the greatest, ought
to be justly proud. And as we are not
familiar with the contract fir its erec¬
tion, and are consequently unable to
know whether it is being finished in
accordance with the same or not, we
have only the suggestion to offer, that as
the commissioners understand their du¬
ty in the matter, we arc sure they will
leave nothing unfinished that is neces¬
sary to fully complete the building in
the strictest sense for the public use and
comfort.
We have examined the county jail,
through an appropriate committee, and
find it insecure, except the dungeons, in
which persons of all classes and grades
have to be kept. The dungeons are
both uncomfortable, and wanting in
proper light and tentilation. Wt think
it inhumane and cruel to keep many
persons in them.
Boons and Records.
We find there is great difficulty in ascer¬
taining the amount of money collected
from fines, forfeitures and the hire of con¬
victs, as well as how the same is disbursed
(there being no record of the same; except
it be the minutes) by the officers of the
court, we reccoimnetid that the clerk of the
superior court keep a hook in which he
shall record all the monies received from
such sou-ces, and how the same is disburs¬
ed. And we further request the sheriff and
solicitor general to report to the clerk all
monies collected from fines, forfeitures, or
the hire of convicts, so he can intelligent*
ly and correctly record the same.
We further find there is much difficulty
in ascertaining from the books of the coun¬
ty commissioners whut the liabilities of the
county are, without going through a long
array of hooks and minutes, and we most
earnestly recommend that the commission¬
ers keep a book of bills payable and bills
receivable, such as are kept by merchants,
in which they keep a concize record of all
obligations'of the county, when the same is
payable, and to credit the same when it is
paid, so any citizen may ascertain in a mo¬
ment what the actual indebtedness of the
county is.
Tut Pauper Farm.
We have visited the pauper farm, thro 1
our committee, and find the buildings in
good repair, with eleven inmates, three of
whom are white, and eight colored. Every¬
thing is neatly kept about the houses, and
well arranged for the comfort nnd care of
the homeless and helpless of the county.—
These inmates express themselves as well
satisfied with their treatment, and their
keeper, Mr. W. J. Smith. We find on the
place four good houses, with good barn and
ample shelters for protecting the stock,
which consists of one mule, three milch
cows with calves, five head of hogs, one
wagon for use of the farm, good pasture for
grazing the stock. We also find there is a
fair crop on the place, consisting -of corn,
cotton, peas, potatoes, sorghum and vege¬
tables. We find that some of the sleeping
bunks of the inmates need repairing, and
recommend that the same he done. Also
that another bed be put in one of the cab¬
ins occupied by colored inmates.
Rspobts of Officers.
We recommend that future grand jurias
require the ordinary, county commission¬
ers, clerk superior court, treasurer, and
sheriff to make a return, under oath, to
their body, and just and tru# statements of
all monies received by tnem belonging to
the county, in accordance with section 508
(a) ^of the code.
Investigating Committee.
The grand jury at the spring term hav¬
ing appointed a committee, consisting of
Messrs. 0. H. Tucker, Edward Heard, and
T. D. Guinn, 6) make an investigation of
our county affairs, nnd report to our body,
at this term of the court we beg leave to
state that they have discharged their duty
faithfully and conscientiously, and tve here¬
with take pleasure in presenting the report.
The Sheriff's Office.
We have examined, through our com¬
mittee, the execution docket, sheriff’s dock¬
et, jail record, and sale book of the sheriff,
Col. Newton Anderson, and find them all
correctly nnd carefully kept. We can but
congratulate our county upon the fact that
we have not only the oldest but one of
the ablest and best sheriff’s in the state.
Decrease in Crime.
It affords us much pleasure to note that
crime is on the decrease in onr county, and
that our people, both white and colored, arc
growing in their esteem aud respect for
law and order, and that we hare had no
cases of higest grade of crime to present,
County Chain Ganu.
We have visited the convict camps
Capt. A. J. Webb and Major W. L. Davis,
through our committee, and find them in
good condition. We find there are 12 con¬
victs in Capt. Webb’s camp and 9 in Major
Davis’, all of whom are males. There is
one white man at Davis' camp aud three
at Webb’s. The convicts at both camps
appear to be well fed and clothed, and are
all in a good healthy condition—with one
single exception at Webb’s, and two at Da¬
vis’, and these appeared to Ire only slightly
indisposed. The leases appear to be using
proper care in making the convicts com¬
fortable, and we feel assured that they are
observing the law in their general manage
ment.
Request to Publish.
We respectfully request that these gen¬
eral presentments be published in our
county papers.
Adieu to the Court.
In concluding onr labors, we wish to re.
turn thanks to the solicitor general, Col.
Emmett Womack, for his courtesy and
kind attention to our body, and wish for him
a long and sucte sful c-areer in the practice
of his chosen profession.
lu taking leave of the Court, we also,
wish to return our thanks to bis honor,
Judge John D. Stewart, for his uniform
courtesy to our hotly during the present
t«rro. We also wish further to express our
high regard and appreciation of Judge
Stewart, a* a faithful, able and conscien¬
tious officer, and as an honest, pure and
consistent Christian gentleman. In what¬
ever field of duty he may hereafter be call¬
ed to serve his country, wt shall ever cher¬
ish for him the highest esteem and the
greatest success.

As a star that has approached us

of Robert Toombs, having passed its
frraod perihelion, is vanishing in the
gloom of eternity. It was the bright¬

know it only as a lessening light
is but little change; to such as
behold it develop, uiul witnessed the
of its maturity, the lesser

They picked cotton all day, and then

that the day was .Sunday, and now
they are praying to have their sins
