BrCamps we find the prisoner*
HFe well cared for, that the camps
are clean and sanitary and that the
prisoners have no complaints to
make whatever of their treatment.
At the Poor Farm we found
everything in good condition ; that
there is plenty of everything excapt 1
a few head of hogs. The condi
tions warrant the purchasing of
ten or twelve head of hogs and we !
recommend that this be done.
We find the jail in bad condition. .
The lloor extremely dirty and no
spittoons; consequently the floor
and walls are badly besmeared
with tobacco juice. Also, that
there are two places where pipes
have been put in that need repair
ing. We recommend that the old
wind-mill be torn down, as from
examining same we find consequent
ly, it is a the frame to be rotten ;
menace to life.
We find the Court House is not
kept neat and clean, although the
County is paying a Janitor terd
dollars per month to do this vvocJm
The walls in some places aro Al
jdirtyji/td in the JiaJJ+v -uvi ‘A uri
room it seems that the spiders have
had full ypossession thereof We
recommend that the proper author
ity proceed Vo have the Janitor
give the entire Court house building
a thorough renovation, and in the
future it be kept in a neat and
cleanly condition
We find the public closet sit
uated near the jail to be a disgrace
to the county, and a menace to the
health of the community and we
recomineisd that steps be taken at
once to have it put in a sanitary
condition and kept so. This can
be done by proper authorities lay
ing these verage that has already
bet n bought.
We find that the public roads
the County are in a fearful con
dition—not only are they especially
■ so in places but this is the general
state of affairs all over the county. —
with the exception of a few roads
that lead from the places of business

This has not been done and it ap
pears to us that the recommenda

totally ignored in this re*pect. In
fact, it seems that toe recommenda

as a mere perfunctory form
and nothing has o. on .lone towards j
carrefng them out. We would re

Several gentjemon were in the
jail last night talking to J. G.
Rawlings when one of them said: j
You know what I believe? 1
believe that you hired Alf Moore
to go and kill old Carter, but you
never dreamed that he was going
to kill those children—ain’t that
so?”
“That’s right,” said Rawlings.
“If it wasn’t that way,” said
the first speaker, “you hired him
to go and exterminate the family
and sent your boys along to help
him do it.” Rawlings made no
reply to this last suggestion, but
it evidently had a stirring effect
pon him. —Valdosta Times.

Have you heard the gospel

No? Well, go to-night; does’nt
cost a cent.
The preminm list for the fair
is pretty full and conplete. Some
handsome prizes are offered.
