M. L. Powell was named foreman
of the grand jury for the August
t term of court when the Butts Super
ior Court convened Monday for a
| two-weeks session.
I Charging the grand jury that it
was their duty to inquire into the
conduct of county officers, Judge
Thomas J. Brown, Jr. said that it
j was incumbent upon the last grand
jury each year to conduct an investi
gation of county offices, institutions
and public officials.
Judge Brown also directed the
jury’s attention to certain specified
offenses, as he is required to do by
law, and praised the grand jurors
for their sacrificial service in the in
terest of community betterment.
A long list of criminal warrants
awaits action by ihe grand jury.
Members of the body, assisted by

able.
“It is my happy privilege to say
today that every driver in Georgia
will receive a raise this year as a
result of this legislation,” the chief
executive declared.
While Gov. Griffin did not say
how much the raise would amount
to, the State Department of Educa
tion explained that $750,000 has
ooon set aside in this fiscal year’s
budget for carrying- out terms of
the bill .
In his speech, Griffin pointed out
that Georgia is spending a larger
porportion of its income for educa
tion "than any other state in the
nation.” He said that 54 per cent of
the outlay for school buildings has
been for Negro schools, although
Negroes constitute “only 30 per cent
of the school population.”
“To date, 141 new schools and 2,-
847 classrooms have been construct
ed for Negroes. Plans are new com
plete for 105 additional new schools
and 1,979 new classrooms for Neg
roes by the end of 1958.”
