Oonrgia— Carroll County.
To the Honorable Grand Jury of said
county, October Term, 1018:
As commissioner of roads and reven
ues, 1 beg to submit the following re
port :
In view of the greatly increased cost
of provisions and material, the financial
status of the county is fairly satisfac
tory. There is an outstanding indebt
edness except current accounts in the
course of adjustment. The report of
tlie treasurer will fully cover the mat
ter with the exception noted.
I’pou the petition of hundreds of
citizens ,nnd upon the passage of the
compulsory tick eradication .Intv bv
the General Assembly, I lutve in co
operation with the State and Federal
authorities, inaugurated the project in
this county, and have it fairly well un
der way We have constructed 18 vats
to date and have had a general survey
of the county made in order to deter
mine the urea of infection These vats
have cost approximately $140.00 ouch.
This includes material and labor for
-oustruction, but does not include in
spection charges. The project is some-
•hat more expensive than first contoni-
latod, but not more expensive than
it would be nnv time in the near fu
ture, and the experience of other coun
ties indicate that the benefit derived
by tlie county will be immeasurably
greater than the cost.
We have thirty-four convicts in the
camps of the county. All the men are
J present in good health, however,
i here has been six very serious cases
J typhoid fever during the summer,
occasioning much loss of time and con
siderable expense.
The county has twenty-nine mules,
ill in good condition. We also have a
few hogs on the farm. But since the
•onviels are camped nt tlie fnrnu only
fo. a short time during the year, it
has not been found profitable to under
take (lie raising of many lings. i
Tin* corn crop on the coTinty farm is
very good. We have saved about 12,-
000 bundles of fodder and 10 tons of
liny. We will make nlrtiut 2,00 bushels
of potatoes and 600 gallons of sorghum.
In addition to this the county will re
ceive about $500,00 in rents from bind
rented .
We have not been nblc to do tlie
amount of road work desired, but have
done all tjie general work possible with
the labor at our command, ami where
we have dono general work, we linvc
widenod, and thus permanently improv
ed the roads.
We have had many bridges to repair
and n few to build outright, and owing
to the scarcity and high price of lum
ber this item has been very expensive.
In accordance with a recommendation
of the April Grand Jury, a steel bridge
is being constructed across the Talln
poosa river nt Dot at a cost of $3,000.00
Tn conclusion, your honorable body is
invited to make personal inspection o{
my records and of the public property,
and your advice and direction in the
public interest will be appreciated.

You would liave him take away some token of your great love
and respect—some gift which shall endure, come what may!
An Elgin Wrist Watch is an appropriate gift for the man who
is about to go across to the tiring line—one that will show him the
time as he creeps across “No Man’s Land" In the dark.
The time to give one Is Just before he leaves for the training
