grand jury presentments
Many Things of Interest—A Complete
Copy of Entire Minutes
We, the grand jury, sworn for
I he September term, 1899, make
following
presentments.
We have, through appropriate
committees, thoroughly examined
the official records of the various
justices of the peace and notary
public ex officio ff. P’s of the coun
ty, and find them kept in compli
ance with lequipments of the law.
We find the public roads in good
■condition, with the exceptions of
the road leading from Cordele to
Coney near the dairy tarm, and the
road from Eureka to eounty line
near the Cone mill and the farm
of J. S. Taylor; and we especial
ly call the attention of the proper
authorities t.o the same, and urge
that said roads be immediately
put in good condition.
We have received the report of
the committee of the last grand
jury and we have adopted the
same and incorporate it as a part
ofour general presentments, which
us as follows:
Gentlemen of the grand jury :
Having been appointed by the last
grand jury to examine the books
of our county officers, we beg to
submit our report as follows:
Books of record in Ordinary and
Clerk’s offices were first examined,
and same found neatly written
and properly indexed.
Tax Collector Scott has settled
in full of the ’98 taxes.
Tax Receiver Dunaway’s books
are exceedingly neat and are got
ten up in that artistic style that
reflects great credit on him. We
find the tax payers return their
holdings at a uniform valuation of
about 50 per cent, of their actual
values, which, we believe, is the
■custom obtaining elsewhere it the
■State. w- «* - ■' •
We note there is a decrease of
taxable returns this year as com
pared with ’98 of $89,000. This
decrease is largely of farm
values, while city property shows
on increase of $73,000. Number
of polls returned, 3698.
County School Commissioner
Greene’s books disclose the fact
that our worthy commissioner and
his coadjutors, the board of educa
tion, are doing their best to ad
vance the school interest of the
county. Splendid charts have been
secured and additional patent
desks will soon be bought for our
schools, which, with the better
class of school buildings that think, are
being constructed, will, we
soon place us on a school footing
equal to any of the counties, out
side the larger cities, in the state.
The attendance this year is greater
than last; also, the number of
schools, and there is a teachers gradual

RICHWOOD CAMP.
We find in the above named

115 colored; all in good health
except three chronic cases and
three slightly sick. No deaths aud
no escapes since last inspection.
We find sanitary condition of

given a sufficient variety of whole
some food. We also find they are
well clothed, having extra suits to
sleep in and separate bunks. The
white and colored convicts are
kept in separate apartments. The
general condition of Camp reflects
credit on the management. We
find Rev. Mr. McCraney preaches
to convicts every Sunday.
DAKOTA CAMP.
We find in this camp 97 convicts
—2 white males, 3 colored females
and 92 colored males; all in good
health except three slightly sick;

males, one for colored males, and
one for females. We find general
condition of - camp good. D.,

FOR A NEW RAILROAD.
A Magnificent Section and The Road
is Bound to Be Built.
People discredit newspaper ar
ticles about now railroads, but it
is an irresistible conclusion that
one is bound to be built and Cor
dele will reap the benefit of
another railroad outlet.
It takes no stretch of imagina
tion nor extraordinary mind to
comprehend the fact that a smal
amount of addition^ capital
judiciously expended means much
for other capital already invest
ed ; with a proper combine of
roads, meaus a main line from
Albany, through Cordele, Haw
kinsville, Tennille to Augusta and
Charleston. Only 35 miles of uew
road to build.
Recent visits of prominent rail
road men to Cordele have made
happy the hearts of Cordeleans
over the prospects of the uew union
passenger depot which is to be
built, but a close observer sees in
the movements of some of these
big men, not only the new depot,
blit the new railroad as well.
Cordele would, no doubt, be glad
of the opportunity to figure with
them on railroad terminals which
can be had at present with much
less trouble and expense than a
little later on. The railroad men
know' that now is the proper time.
The writer sees a deep under
current looking in the direction of
this new road. Let this be the
first thing to be investigated by
the Business League, and you will
find in this article more tfuth
than poetry.

A special from Fitzgerald says
that Judge Sweat and Alex Bou -
.nyaMn, -officials o5 the
Air Line, have been in consulta
tion with the citizens of Fitzgerald
looking to an extension of the
Waycross Air Line from Douglass
to that point. The special says
further: “The road will he built
and probably an extension to
Cordele.”

The Retail Tailor

hftg been bftdly beaten in recent years
by the progress made in scientific
wholesale tailoring. The make-to
measure man is at a disadvantage
from the start. He has to pay about
50 per cent, more for his cloth,
linings and trimmings, and nearly
100 per cent, more for his tailoring
than the wholesale tailors. This is
because where be buys one piece of
goods, the wholesale tailors buy five
hundred pieces; where he employs
one tailor who labors in the old fash
<
ioned manner, the wholesale tailors
employ thousands of skillful tailors,
who have every mechanical aid, and
work in scientifically ventilated
tailor shops, producing the highest
examples of fine tailoring, at the
minimum of cost. These are some
ot the reasons why it is possible for
us to sell clothes which are made
from thoroughly dependable fabrics,
elegantly trimmed and perfectly
tailored, and are sure to fit the
minute you want them, at half make
to-measure tailors’ prices.
