in our opinion, has kept crime at
a minimum.”
Position Endorsed
To the next Grand Jury was left
the matter of making a detailed
investigation of the County Wiel
fare Board activities. The jury
however, endorsed the stand of the
Board of Clarke Couanty Commis
sioners which has maintained that
under the law the county shoula
not furnish more than ten percent
of the costs of benfits and adminis
tration of the state social security
act, The state, under the law, is
responsible for ninety percent of
the cost of benefits gnd adminls-i
tration. In regard to this matter
the jury declared:
“Wle recommend—that our Com
missioners do not appropriate more
than ten percent of the costs of
benefits and administraton as pro.
vided by law.”
Basing its presentments on the
report of committees, the grand
jury recommended either repairing
of the old or laying of a new roof
at Gaines Academy, and installa
tion of additional shelves in the
office of the county school super
intendent on which to keep the
school books in his office.
Deeming the routes over which
school buses pass of “first impor
tance,” it was recommended that
the commissioners have the coun
ty forces over all school bus
routes, top soiling all stretches
that become slick after rains as
well as clearing out ditches and
culverts. It was also recommended
that the road leading to Newton
Bridge be top soiled and widened
where necessary. KEspecial atten
was called to the bridge, which the
committee said was ‘“‘somewhat
dangerous.
Top soiling 'was also recommend
ed for the Athens-Commerce road,
the Cleveland road in Bradbury
District and the Barnett Shoals
road.
The cour: house and jaill were
found to be in a good and sanitary
condition, especially the cook room
of the jail, which is “in excellent
condition.”
Commending the authorities in
charge of the tuberculosis saaita
vium for the sanitary condition
and neatness of the bed rooms,
dining hall and mgmn, the grand
jury recommended immadiat: re
pairs be made to the roofs, doors,
windows ond radiators at Fair
haven. §
Repainting of the annex used
for colored patients at General
hospital and the warden's home at
the county conviet camp was rec
ommended. R. L. Estes, warden,
and his assistants were highly
praiged for “their efficient and able
manner in looking after the coun
ty farm.”
_An examination of the books of
‘the tax receiver, tax collector, or
‘dinary, treasurer, sheriff and
county clerk showed them to be
“neatly kept in a very orderly
manner,” and ‘the personnel of
each of these offices were com
mended for their work. The audi
tor's report, made October 2, 1937,
was found to he “very satisfagto
ry.” An examination of the coun
ty treasurer's book showed that
the county had a balance in the
bank of the sum of $149,600.77,
and a check of the two banks
showed these figures to be cor
rect.
Nominated for the school board
were Rev. W. M. Coile, L. P.

Pays Tribute
To Byrd, Duncan
(contlnaed—fr;;d;aqe One)
upon and love and honor for his
daring and sacrificial life. Henry
Lee Byrd was a spiritual patriot
who was ever ready to do and to
dare for every high interest of the
Kingdom of God. He counted not
his life dear unto himself,
Genuinely Christian
He wag a preacher with a con
viction profound and a passion
that was stirring. He always seem
ed aglow with a desire to exalt
Christ and t,; persuade mep to
walk in the Highway of God. Be
ing genuinely Christian, he was
ever impatient of sham and pre
tense. He sought to lead men te¢
measure worth and merit by the
law of Christ and to bring thei:
lives into conformity to His will.
In his preaching he dealt in the
great certainties and therefore left
no interrogation points burning
their way into the convictiong of
his audience, His preaching was
sometimes startling, at other times
profound, but always interesting
and inspiring. A layman not long
~~0. in an effort to expresg the
thing that stirred his interest said
“Preacher, he is just different.”
He wag a man's man. He en
joyed the association of mep anc
having a genius for friendshis
drew around him a large numbe:
of close and appreciative friends.
He waa a man of wide sympathies
and drew his friends from a wide
circle,
Hig feeling and concern for the
unfortunate was » striking qual
ity of his personality. During the
last year, I have traveled with him
much and do not once remember
him having passed a hobo on the
road without giving him a lift. He
seemed to covet this as an oppor
tunity to talk to them about their
religious interests.
Lover of Sports
He loved sports and engaged in
them witk, <kill. Hunting, fishing
and golf seemed to be his favorite
recreations.
It wag the privilege of the writer
to play with him the last round of
golf that he played. When we
came to the lagt green, he was
down in par, meaning that he had
met every requirement of the
course. As it seems to me today,
this was symbolic of his life. He
wag down in par, He met the re
quirement of the game of life;
even like unto his Lord, while in
the midst of hig suffering, he
found time to think of the poor un
fortunate woman who drove the
illfated car that did him 1g
death; and sent, by his wife, a
message to her, designed to allay
her fears and banish her remorse
and express to her hig good will
Like Stephen he was saying
“Lord, lay not thig sin to their
charge.” Like Jesus, he wag say
ing, “Father, forgive them; they
know not what they do.”
We shall miss him here, hut over
there we shall see him agin-
