The New Court House.
Editor Forest News; —l see that the ef-
I ficient and worth)'Ordinary of Jackson coun-
Ity has ordered an election by the people, to
be liehl at all the precincts in the county, on
! the Bth day of May next. The question to
i be voted on is, whether the Ordinary shall fs
i sue the bonds of the county, not to exceed
'slo,ooo, and to run for twenty years, for flie
! purpose of building anew Court House.—
Those in favor of building the house on a
credit, and not taxing the people now to rai*e
the money, and are in favor of issuing lvmls.
will endorse on their tickets, “ For Bond*,'’
and those who are opposed to building on a
credit, will endorse on their tickets, “ Against
Bonds." So the question is now’ presented
to the people of the county, to say whether
their Court House shall be built for cash, to
be raised by immediate taxation, or partly in
cash, now in the treasury, and the balance in
bonds.
It appears from the Presentments of the
Grand Jury, at the February Term, 1878.
that the County Treasurer has on hand the
sum of $3,877.92. Ido not know on what
plan the Ordinary intends to build the new
Court House, but I presume he will erect one
which will be in conformity to the demands
of the age. and up to the standard of a first
class Court House, for the use of so large,
populous, and wealthy a county as Jackson.
To do less, would not satisfy the public exj,
peetation and wish of the people. The lions/
should be large, roomy, and well built. It
should be constructed after a well matured
plan, drawn by a competent architect, and'
Kt left to be constructed by some mechanic,
who could do the work as welt as anv man,
out who knows nothing about drawing the
plan of such a house.
In truth, the plan is the most important
part of it. The house should he constructed
so as to be convenient to the Judge, the law
yers, the parties litigant, their witnesses, and,
above all, to thepcojde of the count u, who have
to attend on the sessions of the Court, either
as parties, witnesses, or spectators. And the
people have a right to demand the construc
tion of a house which will accommodate them,
as well as the Court, lawyers and parties.
For that purpose, the house should be con
structed large enough for the Court, room, two
jury roonH, and the lobby, for the people —all
on one floor — and the lobby so arranged, with
benches fixed on an inclined plain, as to allow
comfortable seats for all who choose to visits
the Court House.
Now. Mr. Editor, I see your Ordinary has
prepared and published a tabulated state
ment, showing the rale of per cent, that it
will co3t per hundred dollars on tho taxable
property of the county, for each of the twent y
years, so as to raise the amount of S7OO to
pay the interest on the bonds, and SSOO per;
annum as a sinking fund, to pay off and dis- j
charge the bonds at the end of twenty years.
That table was prepared with great care and
considerable labor, and shows the fact that
the amount that each tax-payer will have to
pay the first year is only 7 1-5 cents on each
SIOO worth of taxable property, and gradu
ally decreasing until it reaches the low figure
of 3 1-5 cents per SIOO at the end of twenty
years. Now, is there any man in old Jack
son. who has any county pride, who will ob
ject to paying so small a sum to get a decent
and respectable Court-House?
A tax-payer who owns $2,000 worth of.j
property, will pay each year during the twen-j
ty, the following sums :
Ain't of tax

One who owns SI,OOO worth of property,
would, during the twenty years, pay the sum
<f $10.34. Is there a single man living in
Jackson county who would refuse to pby s.
small a sum towards building a resp n-!,|.
Court House? Ido not think there i u. r
a man in the county.
There are 1,642 white and 641 co’ore< ;
voters in the county, making 2.2H6 polls i
Now. if the Ordinary should levy a tax. Hu
first year, of SIO.OO0 —sufficient to build tlu*
Court House—it would only cost each voter
$4.37. But the Ordinary does not propose to
hi that much; lie now proposes to issue
bonds, to be paid at the end of twenty years,
and to provide for paying the interest and
raising a sinking fund, so as to extinguish the
lebt at the end of twenty years. And to do
that. I have shown, by the foregoing table,
that a man who owns $2,000 of property
would pay only the very small sum of $20.60
luring 1 iie twenty years. In other words, the ;
irst year he-would pay $1.44. and running'
town lower each year, until he would pay 61
•ents the last year.
But some persons have said the Court
House is good enough for them ; and it has
been used for fifty years, and why not use it
longer ? and if the lawyers did not like it. they 1
could slay away. To a man who would use
such an argument, and who would be satis
fied with such a small, cramped up. dirty, in
convenient old concern , it is not worth while
I’o argue the question. But, to such as are
jopen to reason, I would say, that the present
; Court House was always too small; too hot !
| in summer and too cold in winter; and never!
j had any conveniences, either for the Court,;
! attorneys, witnesses, parties, or spectators.
‘ No good book cases, desks, or other safe ar
| rangement. has ever been provided to pre-
I serve the records and papers of the various
■ Courts, and no suitable rooms for the Clerk,
j Sheriff and Ordinary have been provided iii
| the present building; and the jury, on retir
ing to deliberate in each ease, has to go down
stairs, through the crowd, and are liable to be
j tampered with while in their room in the
! lower-story of the house. The Grand Jury
■ have no room where they can quietly and pri-
I cutely transact the business before them with
out being overheard by outside parties, and
j parties against whom bills are preferred can
, always learn the fact before the jury have
acted. Record books and papers on file have
i been, many of them, almost destroyed by rats
and mice, because no proper place has been
• provided in the various offices for their pro
jection. All of which could be done, if a
better and larger house was constructed.
Some persons have said that the old Court
House is a better house than they live in.
W ell, that may be so. A man who lives on
his farm, or in the village, has only himself,
wife and children to occupy his house, and
the room required is small. To such persons
I rqply, why do you build your academies,
churches and Court Houses larger than you
do y°ur dwellings? The reason is quite
plain. I lie academy is made large and roomv
to afford accommodation and room for a large
number of pupils; not of one family only, but
the children of all the families of the settle
i went. The churches are made large and
roomy, full of good, comfortable seats, high
pitched stories, and well ventilated with large
windows, so as to seat and accommodate tfie
members, their families and visitors.
Now, on what principle should a Court
House be less convenient and comfortable
than an academy or church ? More people
usually attend a Court than a school house or
church. The business of a Court requires all
o! the thought, time and attention of the Court
and lawyers , to transact the business prop
erly. Ihe attorneys should have ample room
to pass about the Court-room, and not have
to crawl or stumble over a half dozen men
in passing from one side of the house to the
other, as one lias (o do now.
The jury should have ample space and
good chairs to sit in. so as to be comfortable
and in such condition as to hear and give at
tention to what is said ; which no juror can
Id. if he is unpleasantly situated.
1 he parties anr witnesses, when called into
Coftffc should have seats, so that they
f e at ease, and out of the wav- of other per*
■ions ; and the people and spectators outside
oi the bar should be seated for two reasons:
first, because they should be comfortable
when they come to Court, as their money is
spent to build the house, and they should en
joy the benefit of it; and secondly, because,
if they have no seats, they will become weary
"f standing, and will be continually moving
about and making a noise, and disturbing the
Court, and calling off the attention of the jury
coin the evidence and facts of the case, and
mnoying the Court, officers and counsel.
Again : it is not expected that each citizen
of the county should build, or own. as large
or fine a house as a Court House, for several
reasons. First, because he does not need
such a house; he has no records and books
to keep ; he has no Clerk, Ordinary or Sheriff
on his plantation, who are required to keep
their offices in his house ; ho is not hound to
keep a room for the Special and Grand Juries ;
he i.y*not hound to furnish rooms for the ac
commodation of Judges, attorneys, parties,
witnesses and spectators; and again, he has
no one to help pay for building his house.
But. on the other hand, every citizen and tax
payer is bound to pay his part for public
buildings; and hence,* it falls light on each
man. As I have shown, a man who owns
$2,000 of property, would pay only the small
sum of s2o.fi9 during twenty years, for the
construction of such a Court House. The
same house would cost a citizen,, to build one
like iti SIO,OOO. Now, he can’t afford to do
that; but he is able to contribute, in twenty
years, $20.G0 to help build a good Court
House for his own, and other peoples, con
venience and comfort.
Under the new Constitution, the county
cannot be cut up into new counties; and be
ing one of the largest, most wealthy and re
spectable counties in Northeast Georgia, is
entitled to a respectable Court" House. In
fact, the character of the county demands it.
Nt?w towns are springing up along the
Northeastern Railroad, to-wit; Center, Nichol
son. Harmony Grove and Maysville; all of
which are growing very rapidly, and some of
thorn bid fair to be mine, at no distant day,
good large towns and commercial centres.
Large quantities of goods and guanoes are
sold at Harmony Grove, and a good deal at
Maysville; and each place affords a good
cotton market for the neighborhood. All of
this will increase litigation, and that litiga
tion, of course, will all go to the Court House
in Jefferson. And hence, the necessity of a
larger and better house. Then, vote “ For
Bonds." JACKSCN.
