Militia Districts, to be correctly and neatly
kept.
We find the books of t.lie Tax Receiver

AV, O. HOLDF.N, Chairman.
W. C. CHAPMAN,
M. F. GRIFFITH.
AVe have examined the receipts and
books of the Tax Collector, and find dis¬
crepancy reported by the above named
committee accounted for by the Collector’
receipts of the different Constables for *
fat., nnreturned, and for texcH uiieollo. i«v
We urge that the Collector have the offices
to collect the taxes and return same af
once.
AVe find the Jail House in good condition,
Tlie two jail cells, corridor, water tank,
piping, water closet and wash basins
(dean anil rusty, and we recommend that
they be thoroughly cleansed and one coat
6f gbod paint, put on them. The swinging
Cots have been badly abused and some ot
them cut up, also the blankets. One of
the iron cots torn up, and some of the glass
broken out We find the Jail of tlie Coun
ty safe for the confinement of prisoners,
hut we think that tlie Sheriff should lie
more careful as to its sanitary condition
and use al! diiligeace in not allowing nris
onera to damage furniture.
The Court House is in rather a leaky
condition around the chimneys, and some
shingles off on the west side which is
causing a bad leak, and should be replaced.
The lightning rod is in had condition, and
shaie of the glass out. The well on
the Court House lot, the pump and curbing,
are in bad condition and should lie repaired.
Seeing that, as a Miiall county, we have
a large pauper’s fund to nay annually, and
we, believing that it will he increased
yearly, we recommend to th'e' proper
authorities, the buying of a pauper’s farm
as a matter of economy.
AVe find from reports to our body, that
the public roads of tlie county are in bail
condition generally; some not having been
gon'e ever or worked for several months,
and those gone over and worked, being
vety poorly Worked, and we would urge
the District Commissioners of the various
Districts to have them put in good travel¬
ing condition at ais early date as possible.
AVe find that there are three rocks in
fie roads vefy rnffcli in' tlie way of the
traveling pi'ihlic, and of Which there is
fertreh complaint. One in the road leading
iroin 1 Crawfordville t* Sharon, between the
residence of Mr. G. AV. Brown and Sharon.
One in the road between the Edge place
and Little River, and one in the rohd lead¬
ing from Raytown to AVrightsboro, and
urge upon the County Commissioners
to have these rocks removed at orice.as it is
actually necessary for tlie safety of the
pnblfc traveler. AVe also calf the attention
at MalayeFs Bridge, and recommend that
they have it put in good order at Once, at

Resolutions Unanimously Adopted liy
tli»! Koine Con volition, August 2nd,
1 8i)7>.
Rcsolved 1st, That the Convention
heartily endorse the Anti-Barroom Hill
ain! urge its enactment by the General
Assembly. The bill does not affect
any local proliibitoiv law, hut abolishes
the barroom throughout the Stale and
provides' a Carefully guarded method
for the sale of liquors for all except
beverage purposes.
2nd, That we condemn as unfair,
false and fraudulent the attempt of the
liquor dealers and their allies io create
prejudice against the bill by misrepre¬
senting it as similar to the Soiilh
Carolina dispensary a’ v. 'J iVe two
measures are entirely unlike. The
dispensary system provides for the
purchase of liquois out of public
funds raised by taxation and for their
sale by agents of the State. There is
nothing of this sort in ihe Ami-Bar¬
room Bill. The dispensiry act pro
vides for the State constables to go
into the several counties to enforce Ihe
law. There is nothing oi this sort in
the Anti-Ba'rroom Bill. The dispen
sary law provides for the sale of liquor
r„r»u mmm« ..... .
at ll profit to the Stale. 'J here is noth
insoltl'o .on ,i, the Anti-Jlnmioiu
Bill. We invite the public to exam
ine the hill and judge of it by the bill
itself; and we believe that in the minds
of the people of Georgia who love hon¬
esty and fair dealing that Ihe effort of
the enemies of the hill to misrepresent
il—an effort due to the lack of fair and
honest argument against it—will re-ait
in favor of the bill.
3rd, We regard the substitute intro¬
duced into tin; Senate by Senator Mer¬
cer as wholly inadequate to correct the
evils of the barroom sale of liquor;
and while w6 hold him peisoiVal y i'll
esteem wo deprecate tlie adoption of
tlie proposed substitute.
4th, We respectfully invite the at¬
tention of the Getrefol Assembly of
Georgia to the following circular, emi
uating from liqilor dealers at the Capi¬
tol of the State, a circular distributed
through the mails to the liquor dealers
of the United States and published in
Boufourt’s Wine and Spit it Circular,
the leading oignn of the liquor traffic:
“As you have doubtless ohscfVcd in
the daily newspapers the prohibitionist
contemplate another ohslaffglit against
the liquor interest at the postponed HC8
sion of the Slate Legislature this year.
They appear to he well prepared for the
fray, have sufficient funds fin'd are con¬
fident of victory. You arc pVobably
aware of the fact that a dispensary bill
was introduced in both the House and
the Senate at the last session, and it
required considerable money and effort
to defeat these measures. Our victory
was, however, merely temporary. We
must organize, create a fund and he
fully prepared for tlie battle immedi¬
ately. Our interests are mutual, and
if you wish to preserve your business
you must act with us now. It is advisa
hie that an organization he effected at
once. To that end we invite sugges
tions of any nature hearing on the ques¬
tion and ask that the jobbers, distillers
and brewers name a city where it will
he convenient to meet when we can
discuss plans to preserve our rights.
Will you please consider carefully and
answer at earliest convenience.”
We ask attention to the (Ratemant
that it required considerable nVfncy at
the last session to defeat the Anti-Bar
room Bill, here falsely called dispen¬
sary hill. They spent no money for
printed matter nor any other ostensible
manner. How then was this consider
able money spent? And what use is to
be made of the fund to be raised by the
contribution of the liquor traffic of the
whole nation, and to be expended at
the next session? Can the General
Assembly of Georgia, for the honor of
the State, rest under the imputation
publicly made and disseminated over
the whole donntry that the use of
! money—“considerable money”—fur
•' “ W ‘* J bill? These questions
I j islation on this
we submit to oor representatives in
full confidence that they will take such
action as to rebuke their libelers and
make it known that the money of the
whisky ring does not carry or defeat
legislation in Georgia.
