I GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS
(Continued from page ti.i
ings at the County Farm are in
good condition.
County Farm
We invite your inspection of
the County Farm and think you
will find it in excellent condition.
Superintendent Tucker resides
there and Has charge of the farm
and the stockade as well as road
and bridge work. Working as we
do an average of 100 convicts,
it is necessary for us to have a
central stockade, from which the
convicts radiate to all parts of
the county. Also at this stockade
we operate a hospital and treat
all sick and disabled convicts.
We also send to the farm for
treatment and recuperation all
disabled mules. Our buildings
.tbire are now adequate lor our
pres nt purposes.
Ou- iarming operations have
bewu somewhat reduced this
year: At the same time we are
able to report a pretty good yield
in food crops, as follows:
Oats, thrashed, 1055 bushels
at 75c, $791.25. Oats in the
sheave, 1000 bushels, $750.00.
Peavine Hay, 60 tons, at $20.00,
$1,200.00. Cane, 12 acres, esti
mated at 120 barrels, $1,440.0.
Sweet Potatoes, 12 acres, esti
mated at 1400 bushels, $840.00.
Corn, 130 acres, estimated at
2500 bushels, $2,000.00. Hogs,
sold on the hoof, $873.60. Total
$7,894.85.
In addition to the Iigs sold,
we will have about 100 hogs to
kill and teed to the convicts dur
ing the winter. We thought it
advisable to sell what we did on
account of the approch of cholera
in our neighborhood.
Another food crop, the value
of which we are [unable to esti
mate, is our truch gaiuen, which
consists of about 20 a ires, plant
ed lo all kinds of garden truck,
to be fed to the convicts. We en
deavor to keep them supplied
with vegetables throughout the
year.
We are at present sowing 300
acres of oats and 40 acres ot
rye. At the County Farm there
is usually from 10 to 20 convicts,
including those used on the farm
and in the hospital or otherwise
disabled, and at the same time
there is alwavs one road squad
quartered and fed at the County
Farm and worked from there on
the roads radiating from Bain
bridge for a distance of 6 to 10
miles.
There is also fed from the
County Farm the paupers in the
poor house. We have at present
3 black male paupers, 1 black
female, 1 white male and 2 whit#
females. The most of these
paupers are old and diseased and
require medical attention and a
good deal of care. Captain Tuck
er gives them this attention and
makes them comfortable.
In the way of live stock we
have 85 mules, about 15 of which
are now incapacitated from heavy
work on account of age, so we
are advertising these for sale
and are buying 15 young mules
to take their place. We have 57
cows, 1 bull and 22 yearlings.
From these we produce milk,
butter and beef for the convicts.
We have 31 stock, hogs and 2
boars and between 75 and 100
pigs. We will have about 100
meat hogs for consumption dur
ing the winter. To snpport and
fatten hogs and cows we plant
an ample crop of peanuts and
velvet beans.
In conclusion permit us to say
tint our investigation shows that
our tax rate in Decatur county is
lower than any of our neighbor
ing counties and at the same
J:ime we are in better financial
condition and are able to show
better public improvements in
the way of roads and bridges.
We must also say that the latter
condition is due to the diligence
and efficiency of our county
superintendent of roads, Mr.
George S. Tusker. We invite in
spection by tne Grand Jury of
all departments. Capt Tucker
will be please to show your com
mittee over the roads and bridges.
Respectfully submitted by or
der of the Board.
