We find tlie books and records neatly and so fur as we have been able to ascertain correctly kept reflecting much credit*upon the ef ficient incumbent, Hon. W. H. Cosby. The books of the f,'minty Treas urer show tbnt the ex-Treasurer D. Ii. Shepherd received from all sources since last re|iort $5088.89. Paid out on pro|>er vouchers, $4258.20. Paid to present incum bent, John McGill, $S40.«». The present incumbent has paid out on proper vouchers, $278.81, leaving balance cash in Treasurer’s hands, $501.88. We havo made as full an examination of the books and papers of the office of County School Commissioner as our limited time would permit, and in tlie main wo And them to be correct, so far as we have been able to ascertain, A few trivial inaccuracies occur which we judge from their nature are wholly clerical, which we trust the honor able incumbent, Dr. J.

R, Stevens, wlieicas the law directs tliere simll bu three to- coostituteja board. We recommend the i>ropcr authority to order tut election as early as practicable to- till said va cancy. We also lind that there is a discrepancy in tlie |*litioii and order lu refereuce tothc abuiisiiing of a certain portion of the public- road leading from W. IL Stevens’ dwelling to the east vud of what is known as Morgan’s Inue. or tlie latic between the plauluthitie ot Stevens and Pudge. Said [Sirtlon of public road beluga portion of the road known as tlie Preston and Richland road in this county aa shown by petition of W. II. Stevens and others, and the order passed thereon at the February term of the Court of County Commissioners, Febrttury 5th, 1881). We have made us thorough exam ination as the limited time allowed as would |>eriuit ot the tax digest. We lind the work ueutly and cor rectly done, reflecting much credit to the character and ability of our efficient and esteemed officer acting In that capacity. Having given the books ot the Sheri IPs office such an examination as tho short time allowed us would permit, we would say that we fltid them kept iu a plain aud ueat con dition, and so far aa we arc able to ascertain, in accordance with law. We find from the ’flu Collector’s books that he baa collected front all sources, $6,784.57; paid out as per proper vouchers, $6,764.57. We And tne public roads through out tho county generally in fair con dition, except I he road front the incorporate lino of Preston to the foot of lower turnpike. Wo recommend that the pro|ier authorities put it iu proper order at once. Also we lind that tho public road leading from Preston to Rich land by tho way of tlie Morgan bridge on Kinchafoonoe creek, has been, and is now, iu our opinion, Illegally obstructed by a rail fenoe being built across said road, at or near the residence of W. B. Stevens, and at the end of the lane between W. B. Stevens and G. C. Fudge plantation*, and running east from H. B, Morgan’s dwelling. Alio small portion ot tho public road leading out by G. C. Fudge from the above mentioned rood. We therefore recommend that the Road Commlseloners, under who** juris diction the above mentioned roads are, proceed at once to havo said obstructions removed. We And the jaH in good and what we coneider, safe condition except one of the cells. We recommend that a double flooring be put In it like the one recently completed. Wo And the court house In lair condition except the hearth in the Grand Jury room, which needs some slight repairs. Also the ball door on South side of court house. We And the dockets of the various Justices of the Peace throughout the county to lie neatly and cor rectly kept. We recommend the appointment of J. B. Stapleton and’J. S. Luns ford as a finance committee to ex amine into the financial condition of our county aud report at the Oc tober term of this court, 1880. We recommend' that these pre sentments be published in the Amekicl-h Kbcobomi and Sumter Bepublican as |ier previous con' tracts.

President Harrteon has issued a proclamation setting apart April 30th as a day of. thanksgiving for the past and prayer for the future, since on Uiot day one hundrt d years ago George Washington was Inau gurated Chief Exeoutlreof the new born republic. IT 8HOULD COME TO AMERICUS. The attempt of President Hawk ins, of the 8. A. M. road, to secure control of the Atlanta and Florida road and extend it from Fort Valley to Cordele should receive the ear nest and emphatic protest of every business man and property owner In Americas, for such a movement cannot but prove damaging to tbe Interests of our city. We are aur- prised that President Hawkins should contemplate eueh action, for he Is pledged by his repeated asser tions to conduct tbe affairs of his road for the interests of Americus, It was upon these promises of his that the people of thle city sub scribed eo liberally to tbe stock of his road and have upheld bis hands In hie effbrts to extend It eastward and westward. It la because tbe 8. A. M. road has been regarded aa an Americus institution that our mer chants so promptly responded to hi* appeals to give it their patron age, even at sometimes serious Inconvenience in the matter of delay In receiving freights. It is because we supposed that the road was built and wae to be operated In the Interests of Americus that we appealed to our people to rally to its support and even-make sacrifices to raise tbe money to extend it east ward. We never had aa idea, nor did our people, that it would be used as a means of private gain to tbe in jury ot our city. It wae tbe energy and money of the people of Ameri cus that originally built tbe road, and it Is their right to protest against Its being used to- their In jury. Tbe road was built to- secure re lief from monopoly, and- H never was intended that it should be con verted into a personal- monopoly. It was built lor the purpose ot be ing an Independent outlet lor Americus and surrounding country to the sea, and not for the purpose of swallowing up other roads or aid ing wealthier cities to find the «amc outlet. If the Atlanta and Florida road la to be extended by the aid of Americus capital, it should be ex- udde<4to Amaicujt. JP. eeuld *e- i-ure as favorable oonneetieo at Americus as ut Cordele, and would tuore generally benefit the people aloDg the line of tbe 8. A M. road. Americus Is the natursl-NUlroad as well as commercial centre of this section, and could give to-the the A. F., road a greater share ot business than any other point, it there la any advantage to lx- gained from tlie extension of the A. A F. by tbe S. A. M., then Americus la entitled to that advantage, for she has fur nished tho means for theoxtensioa. Our people should- take proper measures to impress-upon tbe mind of President Hawklnt the claims of Americus and insist upon their rec- '•gnltlon. We cannot afford to sit -til and sec tbe means which we have furnished used to buWd rail roads nround us, and this is n mat ter wblcu demands prompt and en ergetic actiou. AN EVIDENCE OF^LUCK. The manner in whlob the people of Savannah look upon the ruins of the late disastrous lire ia aa evi dence of the pluck and energy wbleh animate the people of Georgia. Undaunted by disaster, they are ready to set about building anew, and building better. It is gratify ing to note that tbe first estimate of the loss was too high, and that a more careful review of tbosituatlon place* the toes at $700,000 Instead ot $l,500,000. Of this amount $450,000 is covered by insurance; the loss, therefore, will not exceed a quarter of a million, aud in most. Instances the losers have a snug nucleus of insurance with wbloh to begin re building. Already the members ot tbe Independent Presbyterian church, aud tbe Guards are discus sing plans for rebuilding their hand some edifices, and in a little while tbe musto of the hammer, saw and trowel will All the charred territory which recently resounded with the roar of conflagration.
