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.

Cobh. Judge S. C. W. C W. O. Dean, Sol. Gen. 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. GIRLS WANTED One hundred gifls wanted to make Overalls. Highest wages paid. Steady work. Apply SUPT.
