PBESEKTnE^TS. WILKES SUPERIOR COURT, SEPTEMBER TERM, 186$. -■ - Wt, o.e Grand Jurors selected and sworn for the September term, 186$, of the 3»perior Court of Wiikee county, make the folla#xnpresent menu: r Through our committees we have examine ! the public buildipga Mfd find them in good con ditioo, excepting a »ek needed on the outer grate 4oorof the jail; the Court House need a few ahiagtee, and aereral places repaired where the plastering has fallen off—also, two or three locks on inside doors, which several repairs we recommend the Inferior Court to have done. We find the Records of the Superior Court in good order The County Treasurer shows a neat and correctly kept book and vouchers for all amounts received and paid out excepting a small amount of #27 B*2. We advfce the treasurer never to pay out funds without obtaining proper vouchers at the time of disbursement. From the best information before us, we find the county m debt about SI,OOO, excepting debt for bridges. Tbe Judge of the County Court shows that he has cottectod $445 as fines imposed at August term of said Court. That the officers and costs paid, $238 60, leaving a balance which has been paid over to the County Treasurer of $206 50. In the distribution of corn »o this county we fiml the names of a great many persons on the list whom we think not entitled to further aid, from the fact that they are able-bodied, have lands, and in many cases,children sufficiently old and able to work for a support —and, sad to say, some men have sent for &nd obtained corn in their wives’ names. We adviee the Inferior Court to exercise a more rigid vkplence in apportioning grain to the various applicant?. We have hand ed to the Inferior Court a list of th'«e whom we think should be discontinued. The Road Superintendent reports all the roads and bridges in the county in good order, wilfa but little exceptit*os. We have 285 miles public reads, 10 pubiij small bridges, 4,982 feet causeway, $34 white and 1,112 colored hands subject to roatfMuty. Amount paid for bridges, $l,OBl. We recommend to the Inferior Court the discontinuance of the following roads, viz: from McLendon's Mill to Mrs Ashmore’s, on the Greensboro r i>ad; from W. R.Perteet'a to Irvin,** court ground. And a change in the Petersburg and Lexington road so as to run by H. Adams’ and J. L. Wynns’o(Jt to Malorysfille. To make a public road of the road r ow open and leading from Wm. Moores by R. J. Arnold’s to the Ogle thorpe line. If advisable, and any better route can be found, we advise a change in the road commonly known as the Lane.” We recommend o our legislators the contin uance of the County Court, with these modifica tions, via: That said Court shoutdT not have any jurisdictian of sums under fifty dollars, except in the Militia District where it is located, or wi.ere there is no Justice : and of suias over fifty dol lars only at its semi annual session, which should be the regular terms of the &uparior Court. That said count/ court shall be authorized to dUp>*c of criminal cases at its monthly session* if it bout the presence of p jury whenever the parties accused will wave an accu sation by the grand jury, or trial by petit jrfury— that a grand jury and petit jury should only be •umtno.ied to -aid court at its semi annual ses sions We further recommend our Lcgulatu r e to au Uionz* the Inferior Court to fi* at nli time* the t/c ...
