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 ttet the pipes now in use in the neyt JegWarareto have the act c«XdabSrdof countycommtarion ot of' BpriWUng oounty so amended that ” thrrewmnitarioDcnshallreratvesala rtes <rf one hundred doUara (•100) per an of tb* board of c- immLsioneni, said clerk gte<*SSby bowC«d arid clerk ah all not be one of 3ald board- The clerk shall be placed under a bond of five teou sZd dollare(<s,a»,) the ap- ***J£dreMrdeappmttdi>lng clerk todtan of all aforesaid pjhxct, and at each sMion, on the firat day of with the grand jury a list of all onto drawn on the treasurer, noting to each instance the account flor which order was drawn, convicts, road work, court ex penses eta, each statement to run back m Ue previous one.

If an office is used by toe commissioners or clerk, other than at the court house, the rent of tbe same shall be paid by funds other than the county’s. While we deplore toe death ’of our past City Court Judge, we heartily congratu late the county upon the selection of Judge E. W. Hammond as Judge Beck’s successor. We feel confident that “B ends justice, both ctvfl and criminal, will be met at his hands We urge our senator elect to have his appointment confirmed. We recommend tons theeejaeaentmenta he published to toe Daily News and Sun and to the Morning Call and that they be paid the sum of ten dollars each for mmer Our thanks are hereby extended His Honor, Judge M. W Beck, forthe many this .body while to session and for the very able charge which 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. Manley, for the faithful discharge of all of his duties and for keeping ariose watch over our comforts during our sittings. A w. Blake, Jxo. B Mills, Foreman. Clerk. 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.

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.
