Everybody with any common sense knows there isn' the lightest probability that Macon will ever secure the removal of the cipltal to that city.

We find, from examination, the books .ol the Clerk of the Court are neatly kopt and of easy reference, and we think the County Is efficiently aerv ed by the present incumbent and his Deputy. Tax Collector's Books, Having thoroughly examined the books, vouchers and receipt# In tills office, we find the books correctly and neatly kept, so far as we are able to Judge, and are satisfied that a satis factory acountlng Is made for all moneys received by him In behalf of the County of Sumter. We find the tax, returns for 1910 he $7,234,458.00, as compared with $6,122,518.00 for 1909; being $811,910 00 Increase to returns. This being the work of the Grand Jury for the No vember Term, 1909. Also we note that the Tax Collector has paid out $17,100.00 of 1910 taxes u:p to December, 9th 1910; balance on hand on said date, $2,684.33. Justice of the Peaee Books. We find that the books of all the Justices of the 'Peace submited to this ■Body are neatly and correctly kept except In some cases In making state ment of the cost in cases tried, these officers fall to specify each item ot cost; and In future we recommend that this be done to every case, as required by law.

County Buildings, We recommed that the front balcony at the Court House be repaired and painted; the remainder of the build ing we find In good condition. We find the stockade in need of some repairs, the plastering being In very bad condition, and we recommend that It be repaired; also that the Im side wood work be painted, and that closet seats be provided to the water closets. We find the building neatly kept and the general appearance shows care and attention; the prisoners being furnished with proper bedding and blankets. We find the Jail In a neat an dclean- ly condition; the prieoners as com fortable as possible under the circum stances. Ordinary’s Books. We find forty-six new applications EAST MINUTE a.

We also find the bridges to this district In bad repair; also the bridge over -Muckalee Creek on the maiif road from Americus to Friendship. Wo heartily endorse the present system of working the roads In Sum ter County, and think that the County Commissioners should have the co-op- eratlon of the masses In general.
