Grand Jury Presentments.
Georgia. Taliaferro county.—We the
Grand Jurors, selected, chosen and
sworn, for the August terra, 1883, Su¬
perior court, do make the following
general presentments:
We find from reports to our body that
the public roads of our county, with
but few exceptions, are hastily run
over, and not properly worked, aud we
urge our commissioners to see that bet¬
ter work and more time be give ' to
them, and we recommend our county
commissioners to furnisli proper imple¬
ments, such as picks &c., and suitable
material for building bridges, when
road commissioners say they are abso¬
lutely necessary. tax collector has
We find that the
heretofore furnished the election pre¬
cincts, with a list of tax defaulters of
the prtceeding year only, and that in
consequence a large number of tax de¬
faulters on former years, as well as per¬
sons disfranchised by conviction of
crime, have been allowed to vote con¬
trary to law. In order,therefore, illegal more
effectually to guard against such
voting, we recommend that the list of
tax defaulters since the vear 1877, pre¬
pared by order of the preceeding Grand
Jury, be turned over to tlus tax collec¬
tor to be kept by him full and complete
by adding thereto the names of tax de¬
faulters on each succeeding year, and
erasing therefrom the names of all per¬
sons known to have died or to have
permanently left the State,or who shall
hereafter pay up their back tax.
We also recommend, that the clerk
of the Superior court, {furnish of the
tax collector after each term court,
with a list of persons disfiauchised by
conviction of iritne, which list shall
also be kept correct by adding thereto
the names of parties convicted at each
succeeding term of court, and erasing
therefrom the names of such parties as
haye died or have been pardoned by the
governor. recommend . that the
We further
board of county commissioners do re¬
quire the list of disfranchised voters to
be brought before them for inspection,
not less than one montli preceeding
each public election, and that they al¬
low the tax collector aud clerk of court,
reasonable compensation for the addi¬
tional labor imposed upou them by
these recommendations.
We recommend, that the per. diem
allowed at last court to D. IN. Sanders,
J. T. Heard and W. T. Flynt, be paid
for seven days services.
We And the county treasurer has re¬
ceived $2398.08, paid out $1532.47 for
which he has proper voucheis, leaving
amount in hand $1266.21.
We would urge upon our board ot
county commissioners that they grant
no license for the sale of intoxicating
liquors at any place otliei than within
the precincts of an incorporated town.
We find that our public privies and
the grounds around the jail need thor¬
ough cleansing and would recommend
the same to be done, and that looKs be
put on same, and opened ou public oc¬
casions.
We recommend that one dozen chairs
be purchased and put in room for trav¬
erse jurors. clerk of Superior court,
The books of
ordinary, country commissioners and
treasurer, are reported as neatly and
correctly Kept, reflecting much credit
upon the pivsent officers. A few of
the hooks of justices of the peace and
notarys public, are properly kept, with
proper entries and_ itemized accounts of
all costs, and we have authorized our
foreman to approve such. But many
through neglect have failed to date the
judgments and itemized bills of costs,
all of w hich have oeen returned disap¬
proved. labors, tender
In concluding our we thanks
to his Honor. Judge Pottle, our
for his courtesy and kindness to this
body ; also to bis Honor, Judge Ro¬
ney, we desire to express our admira¬
tion of him, for the faithful and im¬
partial manner, in which the business
of the court was conducted, and in
this, we feel, that we express the feel¬
ing of the entire people of the county.
To the Solictors’ Generals,’Shubrick,
Battle,and Colley, we return our thanks
for their constant and courteous at¬
tention to us, and it affords us pie ts
ure to place upon record the faithful
manner iu which they have discharged

A Warren County Murder.
From the Warrenton Clipper.
As we were preparing to mail our
last issue news reached us of an unfor¬
tunate affair that occurred on what is
known as the Daniel Cody place, about
two miles from town, of which we ob¬
tain the following facts, and cause,
which gave rise to the shooting of Pe¬
ter Broomfield, col. About ten days
previous, Mrs. Felts (who is the daugh¬
ter of M. M.Cody.) was coming from
her father’s, and as she had got as far
as the Cody place referred to, saw Mr
Julian Latimer, J.! ’ who has the .n.Jaont place in
charge , (it being . . owned rtllrri£ .,i at , lf pi se hv y
liis father) and asked iiini if she could
have some apples, he replied, “certainly

time :. f. pointing out to her the ones he re

Peter Broomfield was present all the
time aud heard everv word that was
wiu/ris sr ?k nek," 'a 'Jr.™- ss
Peter Broomfield began to abuse and
insult her in a most vulgar manner.
She asked him to quit his abuse, that
Mr. Jutian Latimer had given her
privilege to get some apples aud that
she would report to her husband about
his abuse and insulting language and
that “if you put your hands on me I
will tell George.” lie replied, “I don’t
care for George Felts nor none of his
kin, buckshot or bullets.” She came
out of the orchard, being alarmed at
his conduct, aud came home and re¬
ported to her husband. Mr. Felts was
in bed sick at the time, aud replied lie
would see him when he got up. Mr.
Felts not having fully regained his
strength from his attack of sicknes,
and knowing the desperate character
of Peter, aud hearing of his being arm¬
ed since the insult to Mrs. Felts ■ be
deemed it advisable to go Prepared and
see Peter whom he fomy* on a roof
with Mr. Latimer shiKgliiig. Felts
asked Peter to come down and instead
of coming down the ladder he approach¬
ed a portion of the scaffold near where
Kelts was standing, alHiut 8 feet from
the ground. Felts apprehended from
Peter’s looks and actions that lie was
going to jump on him or obtain a navy
six shooter which Peter’s son had for
him and who was standing close by—
that he fired one barrel of his gun and
the next barrel failed to go off. He
drew his repeater and fired the bullet
taking effect in bis side. Felts then
left, and Peter lived but a short time
after the shooting. The affair is very
much regretted by all, both black and
white. Mr. Felts is an inoffensive
young man, stands well in the county
and liked by all who know him. lie is
the son of Mr. Lewis Felts, one of the
oldest, most subtantial and peaceable
citizens in our county, and the sad af¬
fair was deeply deplored by him. In
fact it troubled him so much that we
fear it hastened his death, for at 2
o’clock to-day he dropped dead at his
house from heart disease.

Resolutions on the Death of Mr. Stephens.
tention [We take of pleasure in calling the at¬
our readers to the suhjoined
action of the members of the bar of the
Northern Circuit as the last tribute to
the memory of one of its most distin¬
guished members, the lion. Alexander
H. Stephens. Much has been said and
written of this distinguished man. but
nothing that we have seen is more ap¬
propriate to his memory than the fol¬
lowing beautiful and touching tribute:]
On the 4th of March last the great
soul of Alexander Hamilton Stephens
left for all time the people he loved and
the country he honored. Whether
representing that people in the Halls
of Congress, as Chief Executive of the
State or as Vice-President of the
Southern Confederacy, his untiring de¬
votion to their interests and liberties
was nianifasted throughout a long pub¬
lic life of distinguished services. But
it can not be expected that In a brief
tribute to his memory there can be
given an epitome of the history or an
analysis of the character of one, whose
works as an orator, a Statesman and a
writer, will survive the language he
spoke; whose reputation is as broad as
the enlightened world, and whose pa¬
triotism was as unbounded as the
country that gave him birth.
Be it Resolved, 1st. That in the
death of lion. A. II. Stephens this bar
lias lost one of its ablest and most be¬
loved members; and the country at
large one of its profoundest Statesmen
and philosophers.
2nd, That we commend bis virtues
to the emulation of our brethren, and
that we will ever cherish in our hearts
the memory of the mental character¬
istics and moral excellencies of our de¬
ceased brother.
3rd, That we tender our heart-felt
sympathies to the surviving relatives
of the distinguished dead.
4th, That the presiding Judge be
requested to order that these proceed¬
ings he entered of record on the min¬
utes of this court; that the Clerk make
out and transmit a copy of the same to
the relatives of the deceased ; and that
they be published in the Crawfoud
vii .le Democrat, Atlanta Constitu¬
tion and Augusta Chronicle & Consti¬
tutionalist.
