Grand Jury Presentments To the Honorable Judge ol the Superior Court: We, the Grand Jury, drawn for the May term of the Superior Court beg to make the following presentments: We have thoroughly investi gated all cases thac were on the docket and all warrants that were placed before us, and also all special presentments, and in each case where we Could get sufficient evidence for conviction we found true bills. In all cases where we didn’t think there was sufficient evidence to convict we found no bills. ardson Company, certified public accountants of Atlanta. From their report we find that there has been some slight discrepan cies which have been adjusted satisfactorily. ROADS, BRIDGES AND COUNTY FARM. We found the roads in good condition where they had been recently worked, and we believe that the work is being pushed as fast as practicable. The roads PUBLIC BUILDINGS We have examined the public buildings and make the follow-! ing recommendations: We find the jail badly over-J crowded, and believe this could be remedied by making availa-1 ble sorm* pf the unoccupied space! oh the first fioor. With these, changes and the completion of the painting-of the interior of | the building, which is now being; done, the jail will be in first class condition. We find the yard of the jail littered up with trash. There' are several limbs lying around in the yard and leaning against trees, which might make escape | from the yard easy. We think this should all be cleaned up and the premises kept in a more sani-, tary condition. We further recommend that the jailer be furnished with a look to replace a broken one on one of the jail doors, and that ! the property immediately sur rounding the jail yard be cleaned • up in order to insure the health of the prisoners and those living, in the vicinity and it is our de-l sire that the sherilf make the proper representation to the city authorities. We find the stairlanding on the basement floor of the court house unsafe, the supports hav ing given away, and the floor in the clerk’s record room is in bad Condition. We recommend that both of these repairs he made at once. We recommend that the court house yard be cleaned up and that the hitching of stock near the shake trees be prohibi ted in order to protect them from damage. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE DOCKETS. We have examined all dockets delivered to us and find them neatly and correctly kept, except in some cases the Justices of the Peace have failed to make cod entries on their dockets. We recommend that in the future they be very careful to make such entries. in the east side of the County seem to be in better condition than those on the west side. There is one camp on the west side of Spring Creek and another between Spring Creek and Flint River, u e think that they are making reasonable progress in road building under the prevail ing condition of the soil. We found that where the roads have been completed they are in ex cellent condition and as good as the best in the State. We examined all the road camps and found them in good condition, and all the convicts seemed to be properly cared for and comfortably quartered. The mules at each camp seemed to be well'cared for and in excellent condition. We find that the Commission ers are putting in concrete bridges to take the place of the wooden bridges, and that their intention is to continue this work until they have replaced all wood en bridges with concrete bridges. We heartily endorse this plan. We visited the County Farm and found everything in sanitary condition and the convicts well cared for and their quarters com fortably arranged. We found six paupers on the farm, all of which are well cared for. COUNTY OFFICERS’ BOOKS. We find all officers’ books neat ly and correctly kept. We find that there is a number of the books in the office of the clerk that have loose leaves and we recommend that these books be rebound. We also find that the County of Decatur has a com plete set of deed records since the creation of the County, but there is no general index cover ing these records prior to 1888, and we recommend that the County Commissioners have the most modern index system in stalled in the clerk’s office; as the titles to lands are becoming! more valuable as the lands be-! come more valuable. Upon investigation we find \ that the books of the County j Commissioners, Tax Collector,. bneriff and the Treasurer have been audited by the Alonzo Rich- j We saw a good many of the hogs and cows at the County Farm and they were all in good condition. We think that the County is to be congratulated upon having secured the services of such an able a Superintendent as Mr. G. S. Tucker. We recommend that the County Commissioners widen and work the public road in the lane be tween the farms of S. P. Gray and 1’om Whigham on the public road from Faceville to Chatta hoochee. We recommend the appoint ment of S. D. Dean as Notary Public and Ex-Officio Justice of the Peace for the 1277 District G. M. to fill the vacancy there existing. The Superintendant of Schools reported four vacancies on the Board of Education and the fol lowing gentlemen were elected: Messrs A. Y. Jones, of Brinson: D. H. Wood, of Attapulgus; Otho Benton, of Donalsonville; F. C. Herring, of Climax. We recommend that $2.50 be paid to the stenographer for type writing these presentments. We tender our thanks to his Honor Judge E. E. Cox and to Solicitor R. C. Bell for their able I assistance, courtesy and consider- j ation. We recommend that these | presentments be published in the!

Another Remarkable Demonstratio n of Buick Speed, Power, Endurance and Reliability The extraordinary time made by the Buick Six up (he Ions hard grades, over rough mountain passes, fording streams and racing over miles of desolute des ert in its intercity dash was no surprise to us. We knew that the Buick valve in head motor was capable of driving the car at a continued speed of more than sixty miles per hour when called upon. We also knew that the Buick chassis, notwithstanding the continued heavy hammering over rough roads at unusual speed, would be in the same perfect, condition at the finish as at the start. By this remarkable performance we have demonstrated to the public the superiority of Buick construction.
