Forsyth St., \ OUS, GA. We, the gram! jurors of Sumter coun ty cboseu for the May tern, of Sumter superior court, beg leave to submit the following report: Wo have, through our various com mittees, examined tho various books, records and public property. Wo find the books of tho Lax collector, M. Calla way, and report his accounts, correct, with proper vouchers for ail money dis bursed. Wo find a largo amount of in solvent taxes, and we think if tho proper ofllcers were more dilligent tho amount of insolvent bnxes would ho greatly re duced. Tlie failure of many people to pay their taxes when duo, although per fectly able to do so, lias resulted in II fas to tho amount of $3,003.24 being placed in the hands of bailiffs for collection and wo urgo tho lax collector to have these ti fas collected at once. We lind several professionals doing business without paying their special tax. We have made a thorough examina tion of tlio books and vouchers of the treasurer for money paid out, and find them to he correct We have examined tho hooks and records of tho ordinary, and approve the the manner of keeping the same. We find the books of the sheriff’s office kept in a neat, correct and business like manner. Wc find the court liouso in good re pair, and can but feel a certain amount of pride uprising in our breasts when wo look upon such a piece of architecture, and feel that it is the properly of Sum ter county. Wc are not proud of our jail, but will recommend no repairs, as tlio count,' commissioners are anticipa ting building a now one. Wo find the prisoners in good condition, and they seem to bo well cared for. We find the books of tlio judgo of tlio county court neatly kept Least we tax the patience of those whose sacred duty it is to scan tlieso general presentments wo ask pardon and also your furthorcon- sideration: It is witli a source of deep prido, and gratification that wo refer to the county court of SumUir, created nearly twelvo years ago, and having been presided over during all tills time by its present incumbent, .Tudgo J. B. 1’ilsbury, which speaks volumes in itself It is not the sense of this body to over estimate, or to pay unjust tributo to any officer in her county, but where tho obli gations of tbo office have remained piiro, tlio duties therein imposed, liavo been carried out in n straight and foarless maimer, wo take great ploasnro in commending the same. Judgo Piisbury has made tlio county an nble, honest and fearless judge, and his record as placed on the minutes of that court will stand as a monument to his fair name. We find the hooks of the clerk of tlio court correct. We feol that wo shnuid not willingly pass our honorable county commis sioners by in silence. Wo bavo soon tlioir books and acts, and liave no com plaints to enter. Wo feel that they will mako no unnecessary expenditure, and that the county's business is safe in their bands. Through our committees wo liavo visited the poor house and find tho in mates well cared for—twelve whites and ton colored. We do not think that tho public school systom, as operated In our county, gives entire satisfaction, but mako no special recommendation in this lino. We find tho roads and bridges in fair condition, even hotter than usual, but still they do not come up to tho require ments of law. We find the bridge over Muckalee creek, known as Mack Little bridgo, in a dangerous condition. We recommend that it be replaced with a now bridge as early as possible. There is complaint that tho crossings on tbo S., A. & M. road are too narrow and stoop for safe travel, and wo recommend that tho proper authorities see that tho matter ho adjusted. Tlio streets of An dersonvllle are in bad condition. Wo in- slsist that they be put In good condition at onco by the proper authorities. Wo liavo carefully examined the books of tlio justices of the peace and notaries public, and find that some of our officers in their official duties are very loose and lax, disregarding tho law, or else they are ignorant of their duties. 51 r. V. A. Freeman, of the 750th district, omits dates, wo guess not intentionally, to which wo call Ills attention. Mr. J. L. Adderton's hooks are in bad shape ov- oiy way. The bills of cost are not item ized, his name Is* not signed to any of the cases tried, and frequently fails to state tho case properly, also what dispo sition lias bcon made of tho cases tried. We also have reason to believe that Mr. J. L. Addcrton puts out blank warranto with his signature to them, therefore we cannot approve Me books, andleavo him with the court. We also find Mr. W. B. F. Oliver’s hooks in bad ehape. We find that be falls to eater warranto Issued,and that he frequently uses police men for bailiffs, and we tMnk exacts ex- horbitant costa. Ho also In one Instance, ordered the release of a prisoner and failed to enter on hit book* the case or cause of arrest or release, therefore wo cannot approvo his books, and leavo him with tho court. We hear of other cases where tho law' has been transcended and request the transcendors to try and carry out the law .as far as they have jurisdiction. We approve and recommend tho reap pointment of W. B. Harrison, of the 90J G. M. district; V. A. Freeman, of the 7.10 G M. district; also T. L. Murray, of the 745 G. M. district. We return our thanks to the so licitor general, C. B. Hudson, also to so licitor pro-tein, L. J. Blalock, for cour tesies extended to this body, and also to our doorkeeper, Mr. Bass. Before we conclude these general pre sentments and tender them to the heal ing and consideration of the public we would not, as a representative body of your county, claim that tho task had been done or that the object sought had been fully accomplished w'ere wo not to take notice, and make mention, of ids Honor Judge Fort. Judgo Fort has worn the judicial ermine of this circuit for nearly nine consecutive years, and at all times and under all circumstances, with steady and firm hand, has he wield ed the sceptre ami now, as fond memory rehearses the sacred memories of the past and places his bright life like panorama within our grasp, who is there in the grand old county of Sumter wdio does not bid him God speed. Judge Fort will soon retire from the judgeship of this circuit to enter a new and a broader Held of labor, that of railroad commissioner of the great state of Geor gia. Wo at once acknowledge tho im portance of tho oflice, and tho stern duties therein imposed and in tendering his services to tho state we take * solaco in the thought that, ho is a ripe jurist and that his keen sense of right, and w'rong will over stand as a barrier be tween him and error; and those techni calities of tho law which would become obstruce ho will solve with credit to tho office, distinction to himself and to the honor of tho great state of Georgia, of W’hieh ho claims his citizenship. Therefore be it resolved by tho grand jury of Sumter county that in tho rotiro inentof Judge Fort the circuit looses an able, wise and bcneficient judgo. Be it also resolved that wc bespeak for him that samo success in his now field of labor that has attended him in his past efforts. We request tho publication of these presentments in tho city paper.
