Yesterday a Recorder man came
across Davis, the book agent who

in Savannah some weeks ago. He
is a slim, dark and short little fel
low, about five feet two inches tall,
and weighs 125 pounds. Wiry and
muscular, he seems cut out for a
“stayer.” He is entered for the
three days walk in Macon, at the
Slate fair, and when we met him
he was conversing with Messrs.
Smith and Leals, the Americus
boys who are entered for the same
race. He ofiered to bet $10 that
be would beat Lewis ten miles tn

about risking any money that way
against Smith, as lie said Smith
looked too thin. A good many
friendly conjectures were made aa

PRESENTMENTS
rand Jury, Flrxt
ir Term saperlor
Sumter Count..
We, the grand jurors empaneled
for :bc first week of the October
term of superior -court ot Snmter
countv for 1884, respectfully sub
mit tbe following general present
ments.
Through tbe several committees
appointed from onr tody to exam
ine the books, accounts and official
acts of tbe various county officers,
and the reports through these com
mittees, we find tbe same neatly
and correctly kept, and it afiords
us pleasure to commend these
public servants for their faithful
ness and efficiency.
But to specify more particularly
and give the results mare clearly
after diligent inquiry, we give
severally the committees’ reports.
1. We, the" committee appoint
ed to examine the books of the
county commissioners, find them
neatly and elegantly kept and the
expenditures judicious and with
striot regard to economy, as exhib
ited by vouchers of tbe county
treasurer.
2. Your committee on public
buildings find the court house in
as respectable condition as tbe
present building will admit of; the
ini) in Bafe condition, very clean
and seemingly well kept, the pris
oners cheerful aud as well content
ed as they cou'd be under sueb
circumstances. We find tbe sewer
conducting the filth from the jail
too small, frequently becoming so
obstructed as to cause the filling
up of the same and causing an
overflow at tbe top—being delete
rious to the health of the inmates.
We recommend the commissionei H
to remedy the evil at once. We
also recommend the replacing all
the blinds now missing from the
Windows.
8. The committee of county
school commissioners report num
ber of public schools : white, 30;
colored, 28.
The financial report was render-
ered at the last term of court.
4. We, the committee appointed
to examine the books of the county
treasurer, find them neatly and cor
rectly kept, having proper vouch
ers for every transaction. The
county treasurer’s report shows
tbe amount of cash on hand at last
report, also amount of cash received
since, up to date, and dtsburse-
mentsof same.
