General Presentments.
We, the grand jurors for the
August and September adjour¬
ned terms ot Murray Superior
court, respectfully submit the
following genera] presentments:
We have carefully traversed
the circle of duties devolved on
us and are pleased to report
that while in some localities of
our county, we find the exist¬
ence of some things, which as
an orderly, law* abiding, tem ¬
perance people are to be de
plo edj yet in looking over the
county as a whole, we note
progress and regard the situa¬
tion as hopeful.
Through committees who
have examined the matters
embraced in the following, re
port etc.:
That the records of the pub¬
lic officers of the county have
been thoroughly 7 examined and
found correct and very m ally
kept, for which they should be
honored and certainly' deserve
and have ouv thanks.
That the public records of
the county be placed in a place
of more
That the pauper farm under
the superintendance of Mr.
Ellis Daniel is in a prosperous
condition, bids fair to make at
least twelve bales of cotton,
200 bushels of corn, five or six
thousand bundles of fodder, al¬
so about 65 bushels of pota¬
toes. The stock belonging to
the farm are in good condition,
the houses are substantial aud
very comfortable indeed. The
paupers themselves, ten in
number, express their satisfac¬
tion. Moreover, provisions
sufficient to run the fa; m for at
least six weeks. Mr. Daniel
deserves the thinks not only of
our V) ).dy, but of the county
generally for his efficiency in
the management of this farm.
That the N. P. and J. P. of
the 824th (list., G. M., be pre¬
sented for failure to work the
streets within the incorporate
limits of Spring Place, and at
the Sept, adjourned term
solve that this grand jury com
pliment the N. P. and J. P. of
the 824th dist. for the woik
they have had done on the
streets since the August term.
That the county board or
the proper authority cause the
gates on public roads in the
county t<> be placed in good
condition and kept so We di
reet their special attention to
the gates through the Edmond
son and Durham farms on
Holly Creek. The public
roads in the county are in good
condition except a portion of
the road leading from the fed¬
eral road near Mrs. Jackson’s
residence, in the 824th dist., to
Spring Place, and also a portion
of a new road leading from
Durham’s bridge on Holly
Creek through the 1291st dist.
aud intersecting with the
Spring Place and Dalton road
near Co], Tibbs’ fa.m. Aud
we also find the north end of
the bridge across Holly Creek
(known as the McMullin
bridge) to be in bad condition.
That the Ordinary be au¬
thorized to furnish each board
of load commissioners with a
c >py of the load law at the ex
p use of the county.
That the public buildings
ate kept in as good condition
ai the Jailor, under the circutn-
stances, can keep them, The
prisoners have been making a
habit of urinating on the ]oeks
aud chain and over the floor
Their puipose is unknown un¬
less they think to cause the
chains to lust and theieby
making them earner to break.
It has become extremely offen¬
sive and indecent. We recom¬
mend that the Sheriff and Jail¬
or have lull power to stop the
above nuisance by mild meaus
if possible, or extreme measu es
it necessary.
That the records of the N.
Ps. and J. Ps. tire correctly and
neatly kept, except the one for
the 1039th cist. which is not
kept in proper form.
That l a Griffith be appoint
Notary Public for the 972-tid
dist., G. M.—vacancy caused
by the resignation of David E.
Humph eys.
That Benjamin A Gregory
be appintcd to fill a vacancy
on the board ot education
caused bv the resignation of
Hugh L Pangle.
That James Greer, who is
sentenced to the chain gang, in
the event ttat lie cannot be era
ployed in said chain gang, in
j jail s t ea of ‘l of the being confined be employed in the
county,
on the farm.
That the propel authority
pay to the respective chinches
for the use ol their houses lor
holding the present court in
the event a charge is made, a
reasonable amount.
That the court house be
built on the old site unless a
location more suitable be do¬
nated. That it be built as
soon as practicable and not to
exceed in cost seven thousand
dollars.
That the per diem for jurors
aud bailiffs be two dollars.
That the county commission
ers have foot logs placed across
each ford of Holly Creek on
the turn pike road between
Seth A Gregory and the foot
of the mountain above the rock
house.
That Wn, McClure Seth A
Gregory an 1 AT Logan heap
pointed by Ilis Honor as turn
pike commissioners from Seth
A Gregory’s to the county
in the 1013th dist.
In taking leave of the court
we beg leave to express a high
sense of our aprreciation of his
Honor Judge J C Fain as an
able impartial and efficient pie
siding officer, and of his devo¬
tion to the interests of our couu
ty. Also to to the Solicitor
General, Col. Harris, we return
oil thanks for his courteous
treatment of our body and are
pleased to testify to the indus¬
try, energy and ability he has
brought to bear in the dis¬
charge of Ins duties. The
Sheriff, too, has our thanks lor
the strict performance of his
duties. Aud to our bailiff,
Daniel Dunn, we return our
thanks for the faithful per¬
formance of his duties in the
service of our body. And in
conclusion we cannot adjourn
without returning thanks to
Thomas J Peeples, our Fore¬
man, for the faithful and effi¬
cient manner in which he has
presided over our delibera¬
tions.

I certify that the above is a
true extract from the nnnutes
of court. C. N, King,
Clerk S. C.
Bartow is a prohibition couu
ty; but the;e are men in Bar¬
tow, as is other counties that
have voted whiskey out, who
yiolate the law and sell whis¬
key without license Sam
Jones, as is hss custom, spoke
very plainly on the subject
last week at the great tent
meeting and it is thought that
some of the whiskey men had
a hand in trying to blow up
Jones’ buggy house with dyn¬
amite. No very serious dam¬
age. was done. Whiskey .men
often grow desperate when
good citizens try to protect so¬
ciety and see that the right¬
eous laws are executed. We
give below a specimen of Jones’
manner of handling such eases:
“Now I have had my say to
you, I will talk to you and lea
son with said you concerning the what
I have and strictures
I have made on you. But you
and I can’t fight. I would as
soon get into a pit with a man¬
gy bull dog, aud gnaw with
him, as to fight with such low
down scoundrels as you are. A
man who will illieitly, sneak
ingly perpetuate that a has traffic voted on a
community it
out, is too mean for me to be¬
little myself by a personal 1 en
countei with him.”
