GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS BARROW COUNTY
SUPERIOR COURT, SEPTEMBER TERM, 1919
To the lion. Andrew J. Cobb,
Judge of the Superior Court of
Harrow County. We, tlie <irand
Jury chosen and sworn for the
September Term of 1919 of Har
row Superior Court, beg leave to
submit the following report:
Through 1 lie Committees ap
pointed, the public buildings,
court house, jail and the convict
camp have been examined. The
committee make the following re
port. The court was found very
well kept and in view of the fact
that the County has voted bonds
for the erection of anew court
house, we have no recommenda
tions to make further than we
would suggest to the Ordinary
that he try to make the* building
as comfortable its possible for the
winter session of court, and it
necessary install extra heaters.
Through the proper eomiuit
tee the convict camp and jail were
inspected and found to be kept in
a clean and sanitary condition.
We recommend that the following
three gentlemen, Mr. •! JI. House,
Air. 11. T. Flanigan and Mr. John
\V. Kilgore act as a committee in
the selection of an Auditor to au
dit the county books. We further
recommend that after the books
have audited that the auditors re
port shall be published in both the
Winder News papers—namely
The Winder News and The Har
row Times. The expense of audit
ing books and publishing same to
be paid hv the County.
We recommend that all jurors
and court bailifs lie paid $3.00 per
day also that the foreman and
clerk of the grand jury he paid
SI.OO per day extra for their ser
vices We recommend that Mr. J.
<>. Uarthone, be appointed Jus
tice of Peace and Notary Public
of District No. 1740 to fill the va-
oaney caused l>y the resignation
of Mr. I’. K. ('hesser, wliich be
eomes effective Dec. Ist 1919.
We recommend and insist that
the bridges at Josh Smith’s be re
built ms soon ns possible. We re
commend to our Ordinary lion. H.
<l. Mill that the appoint an adisory
committee consisting of three
good business men to advise with
him during and through the per
iod of time required to build the
County Court House and that this
committee advise with him in re
ference to the construction of the
public roads of the county. The
business devolving on the Ordi
nary during the construction of
the court house and the enlarged
plan of road construction and ex
penditures will he heavy and ex
acting. and we believe an advi
sory committee would be helpful.
We recommend that the members
of this committee he paid the sum
of one hundred dollars, each’ for
.their services. We suggest that
the following three gentlemen, A.
A. Camp. R. L. Carithers, and T.
A. Maynard, he appointed on said
committee.
The Grand Jury desires simply
to suggest to the Ordinary and his
committee that building materials
are high and the prices of labor
are high, and it may he that there
are no indications that there will
be any reaction in these matters
for some time to come, but if the
Ordinary ami his committee, af
ter investigation are reasonably
convinced that labor aid build
ing material may he cheaper with
in a year, and that if any eonsi-
derable saving might be made by
postponing the building of the
court bouse for another year we
bel ieve the citixens of Barrow
County would approve postpon
ing the building of the court
house for such a length of time,
of course vu will have to have a
comfortable place in which to hold
court, and this will have to be
taken into eonsidcrath r
We especially insist that the
law regarding those driving ears
on the public highway in an intox
icated state, and the law regarding
speeding be more strictly enforc
ed than has heretofore been the
custom.
We wish to endorse the efficient
work which our sheriff is doing in
trying to suppress crime. We find
that be is doing all in ltis power
to enforse the law, and we ieel
that he should have the sympathy
and support of all law abiding
citizens of our county. We recom
mend that the law with reference
to boys and girls under the age
prescribed by law, driving ears
on the streets and the highway,
ignoring this law endangers the
lives of the public and should be
put to an end. We insist that this
law be enforced.
We speak out against the
whiskey traffic of every descrip
tion against those who make as
well as those who sell and drink.
We further recommend that all
disorder such as taking in his own
hands the right to execute judge
ment on any criminal or set of
criminals without proper process
of law, shall he termed an enemy
to good order and a criminal and
is responsible to (!od and to men
for bis crime.
We earnestly insist on the good
people of the county to co-operate
with the officers of the law in
suppressing all sorts of crime
practiced on the part of a few.
Some classes have no respect fol
ia w or order and their chief aim is
to destroy that which means much
to civilation and good order. May
the time soon come when those
who have no regard for law and
good order, he characterized as
unfit and unworthy characters to
our state and nation, and that
they be held as an enemy to the
commonwealth of the American
Republic. e , . ** •
We wish to express our sincere
appreciation to his Honor Judge
Andrew J. Cobb for the kindness
shown us by a body and for the
able charge delivered at the be
ginning of court.
We also wish to express
our appreciation to our Soldiene
ral and our sheriff who have been
so very courteous to us as a body.
We also thank our Bailiff Mr. J.
W. til rod for bis faithful service
to the Grand Jury. Mr. R. I). Mc-
Donald rendered excellent ser
vice as door keeper, we wish to
thank him for bis service.
We recommend that these pre
sentments be published in The
Winder News and The Barrow
Times, and that each be paid ten
dollars for publishing same. Re
pents from Barrow County Tax
Collector and Tax Receiver, and
Ordinary are hereto attached.
We as a body wish to express
our appreciation of the efficient

Fewer Sea Eagles Seen.
That the monarch of the air. the
sea eagle, has disappeared from Caith
ness. as well as from the Orkneys and
Shetlands, Is a well-authenticated fact
The sea eagle is not very uncommon
in the Pest Highlands, and still builds
Its nest on various hills abutting on
the cliffy coast. The .sites of the nests
are on the edge of some large and well
stocked sheep farms. The birds have
always bet n accused of killing lambs,
as well as hares and winged game, but
the charge would be difficult to sub
stantiate.
Red Heads Have the Advantage.
Many physicians of note are respon
sible for the assertion that the red
headed are more resistant to disease
than less fiery-haired persons, and Sir
Arbutlinot Lane expresses the view
that “a disease becomes less virulent
lu type when it gains entrance into the
body of a red-head than vVhen it at
tacks a person with hair of a more
modest color."
Ideals That Uplift.
We cannot revere anything lofty
without ourselves becoming exalted;
we cannot revere anything holy with
out ourselves becoming purer. The
character of our homage determines
ur characters. —J. H. Jowett, D. D.
