GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
AUGUST TERM, IMS.
We, your Grand Jury, chosen, empaa,
•Usd and sworn for the August term, 1898-
Spalding Superior Court, report as fob
foWZ: .Syi' ;%'■
We find the books and paper? in the
County Comnai.’rioners’ and County
Treasurer's offices neatly and correctly
kept, all transactions being sustained by
groper vouchers.
We find the Oounty Treasurer has cash
on hand $959.57 and outstanding orders
against the county of $9,198.06. Tbe en
tire indebtedness of the county is as fol
lows:
Experiment bonds..l?s
Road bonds 10,000.00
Borrowed mosey SjOSO-W
Outstanding orders 9,16 s 06
Total indebtedness..ss7,lßß.o6
Wecoounsad the Tax Collector for tb*
vigilant manner ia which he has collected
tax, there being shown by his statement
only $89.19 of unpaid tax for 1897.
TAX RKCKIVXR.
We find the Tax Ec reiver’s books neat
ly and in the main correctly kept, bat in
acme instances tax returns are incorrectly
copied from tax payers* sworn returns And
’it appears to us that the Tax Receiver is
rather lax in receiving personal property
returns. In many cases we note they are
very low.
ORDINARY.
We find the Ordinary’s office and books
In a neat and systematic manner. We
find all books and papers as required by
l*w.
JUBTICIB OF FRACK AND KX-OFFICIO.
“We, your committee on Justice of.
Peace books, beg to report as follows:
“We find all books of Justice and Ex-
Officio Justices of the Peace
correctly kept, with the exception of J. P.
Bledsoe, whose costs were not regularly
itemived, and C. B. Bostwick, who we
charge with being guilty of malpractice in
office, in that he and his bailiff settled
cases out ol court and did not docket the
same. And we further recommend that
both C. B. Bostwick, J. P„ aad Bailiff
Morrow be suspended, pending investiga
tion.”
We find the books and office of the Clerk
of Superior Court and Clerk of City Court
neatly and correctly kept.
SHERIFF.
We commend the simple, neat and com
prehensive manner in which the sheriff
keeps his papers, books and office
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We find the Court House in good condi
tion, except the pipes leading from the
water closets. These pipes leak so that
they damage the walls of the Ordinary’s
room.
We are surprised to find the new jail
building that we have in such bad repair.
We notice several small locks out of order,
and the pipes carrying water to and from
the jail need repairing. The roof over the
veranda on the west ride, next the main
building, allows water to flow down the
main walls; this we also recommend re
paired, as we do the windows.
We also recommend the building ot a
shelter over the well in the jail yard.
We also recommend that a water closet
be put on the first floor of the court house.
JAIL. , ■
Together with an expert locksmith, we
examined the locks of the jail and find it
impossible for a prisoner, be he an expert
cracksman, to effect an exit, and we con
sider the story that the escape was made
with a horseshoe nail rather thin.
We find that our’Jailor does not keep
the keys as closely guarded as he should*
and we think him guilty of negligence.
COUNTY FARM.
On an examination of the county farm,
we find the farm in excellent condition
generally.
We note 100 acres upland corn, estimat
ed yield 15 bushels per acre; 12 acres
bottom c:rn, estimated yield 20 bushels
per acre; 15 acres peas and hay in fine
condition; 18 acres in wheat, 200 bushels,
150 of which on hand; 14 acres in oats, 50
bushels on hand for seed; 2 acres in rib
bon cane, very fine; If acres in sweet po
tatoes, excellent; 8 acres in peas, cultivat
ed and part now matured.
Os the stock we find 2 mules, 3 milch
cows, 2 calves, 19 fattening hogs, 1 sow
and 4 pigs, all in good condition.
Os the implements, we find one 2-horoe
wagon, one wheat binder, one cutaway
and smoothing harrow, and other farm
tools in good working order, mostly new.
One mowing machine in poor order; one
set shop tools, syrup mill and pan in good
condition.
We find now on hand 300 gallons of
ribbon cane syrup.
We recommend that a grrinery be built
at once, as the wheat and oats are in dan
ger of being stolen or damaged.
Os the paupers there are three white fe
males, one white male, seven colored fe
males and three colored males, all of whan
are well cared for.
In tbe convict department we find the
stockade, houses for overseer and guards,
barns, stables, etc., all in fair shape.
We find belonging to the county four
two-horse wagons, one one-horse wagon,
harness for all. all of which are in eicel
lent condition. We find eight mules, one
of which belongs to the city ot Griffin, in
good working order. There are two carta
ana harness in bad shape; one road,
machine to good shape, one half worn ; one
iron plow stock and four scrapes haK worn:
one cooking stove, somewhat worn and
needing repair; one big tent, in good cast
dition, used for convicts: one smaller tent
for overseer and guards. In bad condition;
fifteen picks and twenty-nine rifovris in
fair condition. There are now in the gang
twenty-seven male and two female con
victs. all able to work.
We find the roads at the county were in
good shape previous to tbe recent heavy
rates, Ittf store they have badly wasted.
We recommend that the overseer round
up tbe road bed man »nd use larger
linage pipes, and It possible put them
Tfcierent heavy rains have

City Court Judge, we heartily congratu

Judge E. W. Hammond as Judge Beck’s
successor. We feel confident that “B ends

he delivered.
We aJso extend to Solicitor General
Bloodworth, for his attendance and In
formation needed to regard to toe laws
bearing on all questions before the jury,
our profound thanks. „
We thank also our bsAllff, Mr. T. G.

of his duties and for keeping ariose watch
over our comforts during our sittings.

The Same Joe Wheeler.
One bright star of the Santiago bats
tie is Gen. Joe Wheeler, of
and the national bouse of reprezenta
tives. His restless, eager and watch
ful spirit, contained in a little wizard
body stricken with climatic fever,
dominated all that part of the army
under his immediate command, and
turned the tide of opinion at bead
quarters in favor of holdicg the ground
won in tbe first day’s battle.
The secret of victory in war, acc?rd
ing to tba Confederate, Gen. Forest,
waa “to get there fastest with tbe
mostest men.” Gen. Wheeler's cardi
nal principle of action as a Confeder
ate commander was to be all times
where tbe enemy least expected him.
The same indomitable and übiquitous
spirit which distinguished him in tbe
civil war ia observable in his course at
Santiago—Springfield Republican.
Enough There Now-
The plain fact is that the troops al*
ready sent to Puerto Rico are more
than sufficient to do tbe work. TO
send thousands more would ba to
waste millions of money. To send
them in order to promote an Alger
"boom” would be a disgusting farce.
Gen Wade, wbo is reputed to be a
first class soldier, is to ba commisera
ted for being made the leading char
acter in the farce. If the excursion
comes off, he will of course have to
obey orders. But it is certain that he
would not seek orders to manage tbe
farce. It is to be hoped that no colo
nel of New York troops has sought or
will seek orders to take part in the
farce—New York Times.

A Queer New Prodeet.
Notice appears in London Invention of a
peculiar product, under the name es soap
stock, prepared to Brindisi, which is large
ly utilized on account of its special proper
ties. It is prepared by subjecting the resi
dua of olive kernels to chemical proceases
under tbeaotion of sulphuric arid, after all
means of extraction by pressure have been
exhausted. Os this substance it is stated
that during the year 1894 tbe quantity pro
duced amounted to about 1,900 tons, the
medium market price for which ranged at
amme 890 per ton. The article to question,
which is of little value as a lubricator, has
a ready sale among soap manufactunrs,
and to years when-the oil crop has bean
Cevorable considerable quantities have been
exported to this country , Great Britain and
uortbern Europe. This oil is locally
known as “olio sulfureo,” or sulphur oil,
