THE CAIRO MESSENGER. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1904. F. J. WIND, Editor and Proprietor. Published every Friday at Cairo, county rOeorfS*-. SUB)SJ’KI* , T lofI RATES, ONE YEAR 'T .... $ SI K MONTHS. ........ THREE MONTHS.......... Entered as second-class matter 21st, 1004 at the post office at Oairo, Ora.., the Act of Congress of March 3rd. 1879. Advertising rates reasonable, and upon application. We, the Grand Jury, for the October term of the perior Court for Thomas beg leave to make the report in these our ments: We the committee on building make the following port: We find the convict well kept and the prisoners cared for. We find the court house good condition. The door the prison room needs some pairs, also the rail on the way needs attention. We find the jail in as condition as could be under present circumstances. is being several rooms added the prison department which has been needed for a long time. We recommend the cell now joining the cook room be made so it can be used for a cook room, which will give one more room to the dwelling apartment which is badly needed, also sink put in the cook room. We also ask that a veranda be put in front of the jail. We also ask that iron cots be placed in the old cells like the ones to be used in the new cells. These little improvements will not cost much and will add a great deal to the comfort of the house. We find the poor house in good condition and everything kept neat and clean. We find three inmates, all colored, nc white inmates at present, which speaks well for our county. The roads and bridges are all reported to be in fairly good condition. In some sections the county we think the road commissioners are most lenient with the overseers and recommend that they be diligent in the future. Respectfully submitted, C. Walker, W. W. Dekle, Robt. Dekle. We the undersigned of the book committee have amined as carefully as our would admit, the following tice of the Peace books: W. Bibb, J. W. H. Mitchell and E. Hurst and find them ly kept, showing cases costs, etc. It being customary to ine these books at the term no other justice court cords were submitted to us. We made a careful examina tion of the books of the of tax returns, J. F. Howard, find his books neatly and in the increase of and gross amount of find evidence that he has gently and faithfully ed his duty. We also examined the being made in the Clerks of the Superior court, with Elloit Book Typewriter, find there is a saving of one iu the space required to any paper as compared with the old way of making records with pen and ink. This saving of space together with the improv ed character of a type written record over a written record be ing more legible and less easy of alteration, induce us to rec ommend that the county com missioners purchase a machine for use in the Superior Court Clerk’s office. Respectfully submitted, Henry Wight, J. F. Pittman, Royal J. Miller. We recommend the appoint ment of W. H. Bibb for the office of Notary Public and Jus tice of the Peace in and for the 637th Malitia District, also rec ommend J. J. Turner Notary Public and Ex-officio Justice of the Peace for Merrillville Dist., Thomas county. •We direct that funds arising from the hirs of convicts paid from the state to this county be given to the Commissioners of said county to be used in the Road and Bridge account. We wish to express our thanks to Judge Robert G. Mitchell for his able charge to the jury, and for his faithful performance of duty. We also thank Solicitor W. E. Thomas for his efforts in assisting in the discharge of our duty and the officers of the court for courtesies shown this body. We request that these pre sentments be published in our county papers.

Robt. G. Mitchell, Judge S.C. S. C. The Savannah News is right when it says: The time inter vening until election day should be employed by the officials of the various Democratic •organi zations in impressing upon the voters the duty they owe to the party and the country of going to the polls and swelling the re turns to good, old-fashioned pro portions. Because the state ticke thas al ready been elected and there are no contests in the congressional districts that amount to any thing is no reason for neglect ing the election. As Chairman Miller of the First district point ed out in an address to the vo ters a few days ago, there are “four presidential tickets in the field, one headed by a distin guished citizen of this state, who may lead astray many sound Democrats.” The tickets referred to are, the Democratic, Republican, Populist and Pro hibition. It is necessary for the winning ticket to have a ma jority of the votes cast. State Chairman Yeomans and the various congressional dis trict chairmen have issued sim ilar calls to the rank and file of the party, and it is to be hoped that they will* prove effective. Every Democratic congressional candidate should be given a ousing indorsement at the polls, rand the national ticket should have a majority like those given Cleveland and Bryan.
