•Vb iLo Grand Jury chosuii and sworn
i for tho Spring Term of the Superior Court
oi Mclntosh county, beg leave to submit
tho following presentments;
We regret tojnoto an unusual number of
bills of indictment found at this term of
tho Superior Court, and would advise our
people not to stray from the peaceful
paths they haTe been par-mint; for the last
five years.
Tax Collector's books and accounts —We
find upon examination to bo correct The
same as to the Receiver of Tax Returns,
excopt in a few instances, we find a very
low valuation of property.
County Treasurer—The books of the
County Treasurer are correctly kept, and
tlio disbursements and receipts correspond
to the vouchers he has submitted for ex
amination. Wo find in the treasury a not
balance of $1,500 and no liabilities.
We recommend that a tax of fire-tonths
of one per cent, be levied for county pur
pose, for the present year.
Clerk of the Commissioners—The books
of the Clerk of the Board of County Com
missiones has been found in order and
correctly kept. The samo as to the books
of tho Ordinary and Clerk of the Superior
Court.
Messrs. J. A. Atwood, G. W. Long and
I. M. Aiken are appointed a committee to
examine the books and records in the
clerk's office and report to the next grand
jury, and receive as compensation for their
services $5. each. His records are found
correct.
Public Buildings—Are all in good order
and neatly kept. We would recommend
that the proper authorities have the out
building and fencing around th3 Acad
emy on tho Ridge white-washed.
We recommend that the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners enter suit of ejectmoat,
against J. E. and M. J. Bennett for tho re
covery of the County’s property they now
occupy, and that the suit be brought in tho
name and behalf of Mclntosh county.
Jurors, Clerk, Sheriff &o.—We recom
mend that tho pay of the jurors be $1 50
per day and that the Clerk and Sboriff re
ceive $5 per day during the term of court
as extra compensation. The bailiff’s and
grand jury bailiff be paid $2 per day dur
ing the term of court, j
Notaries Public and Ex-Officio Justice
Peace. Wo recommend tho appointment
of D. It. Mclntosh as notary publio and.
ex-officio J. P. for the 22nd district Cl. M.,
and L. E. B. DeLorrae as notary public
and ox-ofiicio J. P., for the 271st district
G. M., vice I. M. Aiken whoso term is
about to expire.
Academy Commissioners —Wo appoint
the following citizona Academy Commis
sioners; Messrs. Joseph Hilton, W. H. At
wood, O. C. Hopkins, It. It- Walker, S.
Kenan, A. C. Wylly and G. W. Long.
We recommend I)r. R. B. Harris for tho
appointment of member of the Board of
Education,vice H. A. Dunwody, resigned.
Justices Books —We find the dockets of
D. R. Mclntosh and W. T. Thorpo of the
22nd district properly kopt. Justice
Bourke Spalding, of the 1312th district,
shows no cases as having been tried in his
court. We find that 1 civil case on Justice
Walker’s docket tried, whore tho cost is
not carried out although not collected.
The same as to Justice L. Crawford of the
271st district. Justice I. M. Aiken's books
•we find are improperly kopt, in this, that
in a number of cases he has omitted to
place tho cost upon his docket, and that
in a number of criminal cases ho has fail
ed to make entry upon his docket, and
that he has beon in the habit of charging
three dollars cr more for drawing up war
rants which we do not think is right.
Education—We find that the grand jury
at the fall term 1879, appointed a commit
tee consisting of Messrs. J. A. Atwood, G.
W. Long and W. C. Clark, with instruc
tions to examine into tho affairs of tho
County Board of Education and Academy
Commissioners. Their report we order to
be published for information. We re
commend that the term of free schools bo
increased to 20 weeks per year; also re
commend that persons holding leases
from the Commissioners of Mclntosh coun
ty Academy be required to place said lease
on record "with tho Clerk of the Superior
Court by the Ist of July 1880, also that
tho amount now outstanding and duo
from leases be at once collected and that
the said committee receive as compensa
tion $lO each, being in full for their ser
vices to be paid out of tho funds now in
tho treasury.
County Roads—We find the roads gen
erally in a good condition,except the stage
and River roads. The causeways on the
former, both at Sapelo and South IS ewport.
The bridge over South Newport River is
iu an almost impassable condition. There
fore recommend the Commissioners havo
these causeways put in thorough repair,
and raised above high water mark. That
the County Commissioners have the bridge
over South Newport river, Mclntosh coun
ty’s half, put in order immediately. On
the River road tho causeways are in a bad
condition. We would also recommend
that the road hands be culled out at a dry
season, it being difficult to work the road
in wet weather, and that the bridge over
McCullough’s creek be repaired and a
railing be put on each side of it, also that
some steps be taken toward obtaining a
new flat over the lagoons at Barrington
Ferry, as the ono now in uso ia old and
unsafe; also recommend that Samuel R. J.
Thorpe be appointed Commissioner in
place of Simon Baker on the Harris Neck
road, and that Edward Rdughan be ap
pointed in place of Mathew Scott, on road
No. 1. That F. C. Sandorford be appoint
ed in plac9 of C. YV. Bronson, on tho
•Jonesville road, and that V.. It. Popped
be appointed in place of Samuel J. Mc-
Donald, on the Briar Dam.
In conclusion wo tender to His Honor,
W. B. Fleming, Judge of this court, our
thanks for the able and full charge deliv
ered and tho kindness ho has extended to
us during tho session of this court. Wo
also tender our acknowledgement* to Maj.
A. B. Smith, the able Solicitor General,
for the courtesies and assistance tendered
us in the discharge of our duties. Wo re
commend that these presentments be pub
lished in tho Dajseen Timbeb Gazette.

{ To the Gra'iul Jmy of jlelnlcsfi County—
; Gki.’Tlkmen:— I The committee appointed M
| the fall term 1879, of Mclntosh county Su
perior Court, to os aim no the hooka of the
County Board of Education or County
School Commissioner, and of Mclntosh
County Academy, make the following re
port:
In regard to the County School Commis
sioners books, wo hand you herewith
condensed statement of tho amounts re
ceived and amounts paid out; wo find the
receipts for the past three years have beon
over $1,200 per annum, and the amounts
paid out much less, tiutil last year, when
it was a littlo over, Tho balance last spring
being $1,703 40; and at this time since
SI,GIO 76. Just hero wo would call your
attention to the fact that this balance re
mains in the hands of tho school commis
sioner from year to year, as the receipts
for each year come in, early enough to
meet tho payments or so very nearly so,
that a very small balance will bo enough
to cover all dues before it does come in.
■*
By reference to the minute book of tho
Board of County School Commissioners or
County Board of Education, you will see
that thoy givo more time to tho schools for
this yoar; but oven that will leave a bal
ance of $1,200 or over on band, that is, es
timating that the receipts this year will be
as much as it has been per year for the
past t hree .years. It is for your honorable
body to recommend how best it should be
disposed of, whether in the school house or
in the longer term of tho schools. Wo
hand you with this a list of the schools for
tho year 1879. We find from the books of
tho Mclntosh Academy, that tho Academy
owns 35 lots and 6 fractions of lots in tho
city of Darien, and a lot and school house
on.tho Bulge. Of the lot in Darien 21
and four fractions are Eased at a yearly
rental of $371. They have now duo thorn
$379 92 which the Secretary informs us
that they are making strong efforts to col
lect. They owe on account of school house
on the Ridge and commission to Secretary
and Treasurer $247 83. So you see if the
amounts due them were all paid they
would have all their liabilities paid add
some $173 ou baud. The book dhows cash
on hand s4l 44, which will reduce the
$247 88 that much. We would here call
your attention to the fact that there is no
definite showing of when those lota were
leased and for what length of time, and
the present Secretary informs ns that he
has no way of finding out as the leases are
not on record, not all of them if any. That
he has asked several of the lossoes to lot
him seo their leases but they hayo not
been shown to him. We would suggest
the urgent necessity of your requiring all
lessees to produce their leases. That the
Seci etary may take a true and correct state
ment of them, showing to whom leased
and for what length of time, and that you
require said statement recorded with the
clerk of the Superior Court on the county
records, and by the Clerk of the Board of
County Commissioners on their books.
Respectfully submitted,
W. C. Clark,
J. A. Arwoon,
