enter on my books, some money,
which I had a few days days before
court received from the Tax Collec
tor, and I had failed to record some
of my vouchers. I carried the
vouchers before the committee, pro
perly signed up, also the money on
hand, which I proposed to show to
them if they wished to see it. They
said they‘were satisfied that it was
all right but that my books ought
to show the amount received and
paid out; so that night I made all
the entries on my books and car
ried them before the Grand Jury
on Saturday morning in order to
prevent ui unfavorable report.
I believe, i r every member of that
Grand Jury had examined my
books on Saturday morning after
all the entries were made, and seen
for himself just what the the books
showed, they would have refused
to make such a report as they did
for my books did show all receipts
and expenditures on Saturday mor
ning. There was a committee ap
pointed to examine my books and
report to the Board of Education on
the first Tuesday in Alay.
They met on the 22nd of April
at the Court House, I carried my
book and vouchers, for 1S83, before
them, but they said they were satis
fied in regard to them, as they had
examined them during Court, but
said they wanted to see all my
vouchers for the past eight years.—
Sol went home and gathered up
all my old vouchers beginning with
1876, all of which had been approv
ed and prononunced correct by
previous Grand Juries, while ev
erything was fresh and they had
the receipts of the Tax Collectors
before them to compare with my
books. They began with 1879 and
examined my books and vouchers
of 1879 and 1880 and found them cor
rect. They then adjourned, and
the next day they went to \ ilia
Rica to get Air. Hamrick’s receipts,
and appointed the next I riday
night to finish the investigation.—
They met at the residence ot Air. I.
B Perdue, the chairman of the com
mittee. After making a thorough
investigation, from 187G to 1883, they
found $1,57 in my favor. This same
committee found during court $11,-
73 on hand after settling with the
teachers of 1883, leaving $10,16 on
hand at time of settlement with
teachers of 1883.
After settling with the teachers
of 1883,1 received of W. D. Jones,
Tax Collector, $318,36 making in ail
$328,52 on hand, for which, I have
the following receipt:
Carrollton Ga, Alay 10th, 1884 Re
ceived from S. J. Brown, County
School commissioner $328,52 balan
ce school funds on hand in fuli and
final settlement of his account to
date, releiving S. J. Brown and his
Bondsmen from all liabilities.

AV. O. Perry,

B. A. Sharp.
The above amount of money was
paid to AH. E. G. Kramer upon the
following authority: At a regular
meeting of the Board of Education,
Alay G, 1884, the following order
was passed. Ordered by the Board
that the county School Commssion-
er turn over the funds now on hand
to E. G. Kramer, who is hereby au
thorized to receipt for the same in
the name of the Board and that the
county School Commissioner and
his bondsmen be relieved from all
further responsibility.
This statement would have ap
peared earlier but for the sickness
of myself and family.
As showing the circumstances
under which Air. Russell was ap
pointed county School Commis
sioner, I submit the following.
S. J. Brown.
Carrollton, Ga., Alay 31, 84
AVe the members of the County
Board of Education of Carroll
county, hereby certify that we aid
not refuse to reelect S. J. Brown
to the office of County School Com
missioner on account of any failure
on his part to discharge his duties
faithfully, nor on account of the
report made by the committee ap
pointed by the Grand Jury to ex
amine his books, but on account of
a promise made by us to AI. R. Rus
sell while sick last winter that
if he recovered we would elect him
County School Commissioner,when
S. J. Brown’s time expired, he hav
ing held the office eight years. AVe
believe that S. J. Brown is a respon
sible man and worthv of the respect
and confidence of all good citizens.
During the eight years that S. J.
Brown has served as County School
Commissioner we have never heard
of any teacher, white or colored who
failed to get his money after hav
ing complied with the school law.
AVe further state that we elected
the County School Commissioner in
the forenoon on the 0th of Alay and
the committee appointed by the
Grand Jury to examine the books
of the County School Commissioner
did not report until that afternoon.
That committee r ported that they
found $328,50 in the < 'ommissioner’s
hands which corroborated the
statement already made to the
Board by the Commissioner him
self.
