THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
PRESENTMENTS OF
GRAND JURY
We, the Grand Jury, swon for the
August Term, Superior Court, Jack
son County, 1933, through proper
committees and as a body, we have
made a thorough investigation into
the various offices as time would per
mit, and reports are hereto attached:
Convict Camp
We, the committee appointed to
inspect the Convict Camp, beg to re
port that we found everything in ex
cellent condition, and want to corn
mend our .County Warden and his
for the way they keep the
camp.
Paupers Home
We, the committee appointed to
visit the Paupers Home, beg to sub
mit the following report: We found
fifteen inmates—eleven whites, and
four negroes—well cared for, and
home and grounds in good sanitary
condition. .
Jail And Court House
We, your committee appointed to
inspect Jail and Court House, find
that the grading and repairs in and
about the jail and yard have been
made. We find them in excellent
condition. We also have inspected
the Court House, and find same to be
in pretty good condition, with the
exception of some of the toilets,
which need some repairs. We re
commend that repairs be made.
Superintendent Of Schools
We, the committee appointed to
examine office of the County School
Superintendent, find books neatly
kept. We wish -to commend Mr.
Benton for the excellent way in
which all records are kept pertain
ing to his office. We also wish to
thank Mr. Benton for his kindness in
going into detail and thoroughly ex
plaining all records.
Tax Receiver
We, the committee appointed to
examine Tax Receiver’s records, find
same neatly and correctly kept.
Sheriff’s Office
We, the committee appointed to
examine the Sheriffs books, find same
in good condition, having had only
one sale of property since last com
mittee report.
Ordinary’s Office
We, the committee appointed to
examine the records of the Ordinary,
find them to be in proper order, and
all records neatly kept. We also
recommend that additional room be
supplied in the Ordinary’s Office for
the convenience of the public and
for the safety of the records there
in. Report attached.
J. P. & N. P. Dockets
We, the committee, appointed to
examine the N. P. & J. P. Dockets
returned for examination by this
body, have made proper notations on
said dockets.
Clerk Superior And City Court*
We, your committee appointed to
examine the records of the Clerk
Superior and City Courts, find the
records neatly and correctly kept,
as far as we could ascertain. We
think the county is fortunate in
having such a capable and efficient
clerk. We also recommend that an
additional room be made to the
Clerk Superior Court’s Office; also,
that steel shutters be supplier! for
the outside windows.
Treasurer’s Office
We, the committee, after careful
investigation of the Treasurer’s Of
fice, are favorably impressed with
the thorough system with which he
handles his office, and commend him
for the simpilicity by which his of
fice can be audited. Report attach
ed.
Tax Collector’* Office
We, the committee of the August
Term, 1933, of the Superior Court,
state that we made a thorough ex
amination into the Tax Collector’s
Office, so far as time and opportunity
would permit, and submit the follow
ing report and recommendations:
We find the records of this office to
be neatly and well kept. We com
mend this officer for the accuracy
and neatness of his records, and for
the revisions made in his system of
records. We found the facilities of
the office not sufficient to properly
care for the records of this office,
and we recommend that if possible
that this office be enlarged to pro
vide a vault, or that he be given more
room in some way to properly facili
tate the proper handling of the busi
ness of the office. It is further re
commended, that any Bailiff or other
special officer authorized to collect
tax fi fas or any other special tax,
be required to make a surety bond
sufficient to protect the county in
the loss of any futids collected by
such officers, and that they be re
quired to make regular reports on
any items of tax in their possession.
Report attached.
Commiuioneri Road* And Revenue*
The time of the committee appoint
ed to examine this office, was some
what limited; however, after examin
ing the attached reports of the Au
ditors and Commissioners, we did
not think a detail investigation nec
cessary. The complete general re
port of the Auditors is on file, sub
ject to examination. It contains de
tail information of the financial con
dition of the county. The Commis
sioners report indicates a more fav
orable management of the financial
affairs of the county; if continued,
which we feel assured will be done,
we can anticipate a substantial de
crease in the present excessive in
debtedness, though it will take some
time to obtain this result. We recom
mend that the Board of Commission
ers build an annex to the jail. Re
port attached.
Recommendations
The Grand Jury’s attention hav
ing been called to the fact that there
is not court house in Attica District
we recommend that the County
Commissioners take this under con
sideration, and provide a place for
holding, court in 3aid district.
We recommend that the fee or
Jurors and Bailiffs for 1934 be paid
at $3.00 per clay. . „ ,
We recommend that R. H. Merk
be appointed to succeed himself as
J. P. and N. P. for Harrisburg Dis
trict.
We recommend that the Clerk of
our body be paid four dollars per
day for his services rendered this
body.
We hnve noted at this session
much activity on the part of persons
interested in cases investigated by
this bod.,', seeking to persuade and
influence members of the Grand
Jury in their actions on same. We
wish to condemn this practice in the
strongest terms we know how. That
the public may be informed, and also
warned, we call attention to the law
against this, as follows: “Embracery
is an attempt, whether successful or
not, to influence a corruptly to
one side, by promises, persuasions,
entreaties, money, entertainments,
and the like. Every embracer who
shall procure, or attempt to procure,
a juror to take money, gain, or pro
fit, or >hall corruptly influence, or
attempt to influence, a juror, by
persuasion, promises, entreaties, or
by other means, shall be punished by
imprisonment and labor in the peni
tentiary for not less than one nor
longer than four years.’’
We recommend that the minutes
of this body be published in the four
county papers, and that they be paid
$7.00 each.
We wish to thank His Honor,
Judge W. W. Stark, for his charge,
and the courtesy shown this body
during this session.
We also wish to extend our thanks
to Solicitor Pratt, for his assistance
to this body, in the discharge of their
duties.
We most sincerely thank our
Foreman, Hon. Claude Little, for his
able manner in which he has handled
the business that has come before
this body.
We wish to thank our Clerk, Hon.
C. H. Fowler, for the services that he
has rendered to this body.
We most assuredly want to thank
our County Warden, Captain Holsen
beck, for the bountiful spread he
gave our body at Tuesday’s dinner
hour. i m
Wo wish to thank our Bailiff, C. T.
Langford, for his faithful services
rendered our body.

dience to the Sec. 4704, of the Code

ing the Ordinaries at each term of
the Superior Court, to report to the
presiding Judge, the estate in their
hands unrepresented by guardian,
executors, administrators, together
with the conditions of the same, I
beg to submit through your Honor
able Body, the statement that all the
estates in this county, of which I
have any knowledge, are duly re

Honorable Grand Jury, August
Term, 1933, Jackson Superior Court.
In obedience to Section 413 of the
Civil Code, I hereby submit my re
port as Clerk of the Superior and
City Courts. . ,
As Clerk of the Superior Cotirt,
I do not handle any funds belonging
to the county. .
As Clerk of the City Court, there
has been paid into said court since
February, 1933, report, one hundred
and eighty four dollars and sixty
five cents ($184.65) from fines and
forfeitures, of which amount there
is due the county ninety-two dollars
($92.00); this amount, however, has
not-been paid into the Treasury, due
to the fact that the county is due the

cent audit. „ , _
I trust that you will find my office
and records in order. .

The statement shows that we have
made a. net gain of $11,900.19. Also,
$4 ,500 purchase price for two trac
tors. Uncollected taxes, $49,533.72.
The majority of this item is collect
able. Our people are not able to
pay. Should farm products bring a
fair price this fall, the amount of
uncollected taxes could be materially
reduced. If we undertake to be
radical and force collection, the
county will have to buy in the real
estate. We have 26 pieces of land
now, which we have been unable to
sell, and the taxes are yet unpaid.
Roads and Bridges —The roads are
in fair condition, and as soon as .the
overseers complete their work, they
Will be greatly improved. The bridges
ure in constant repair, and with min-
or exceptions, are in good condition.
Inmates of County Hontw —There
are 8 white women, 3 white men, 1
negro woman, and 2 negro men, at
the County Home. Total, 14. They
are well cared for, and furnished
with good clothing, under the super
vision of the Warden, Mr. W. A.
Holsenbeck.
Convicts —We have 9 white men,
and 13 negro men, at the Countv
Camp. The food is well prepared,
and the supply is generous. They
are under the care of humane guards,
who require good service, but are
careful not to overwork them. We
produce on the farm and gardens
all the food that is needed for the
Home and Camp.
Real Estate— The County Farm
now consists of 243.86 acres of land,
which includes a recent purchase of
78%acres. We needed this latter
tract for additional pasturage, and
also the two streams which will
furnish ample water supply.
Interest —The interest on our
Bonded Indebtedness has been
promptly paid. We have borrowed
only $1,000.00 this year, and with
the cash in our Treasury, we can
meet our current expenses without
additional borrowing. We have
$127,589.05 in State Highway Certi
ficates. One-tenth of which will be
paid on March 25th of each year, be
ginning March, 1933. The amount
will pay our bonds, coupons, and
leave a nice balance for current ex
penses. .
Public Buildings— The buildings,
are kept in as fair condition as the
limited resources of our treasury
will permit. The jail yard has been
graded. This was much needed, as
it had become very unsightly.
Credit—The credit standing of the
county is high. We have no difficul
ty in securing credit nor supplies to
operate the county. Owing to the
large amount of outstanding war
rants, it will require several years
to liquidate past due indebtedness,
and this will .be only possible when
farm products bring profitable prices.
For further details of the financial
condition of the county, we refer
you to the report of the auditors,
Messrs. Robinson & Hunt, which is
submitted with this report.
Respectfully submitted,
J. C. Turner,
Chairman Board of
Roads and Revenues, Jackson Coun
