GENERAL PRESENTMENTS of
the GRAND JURY.
Newton Superior Court, Adjourned term September, 191 3.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and
sworn for the September term, 1913,
of Newton Superior Court, beg leave
to submit the following General Pre
semtnients:
We have examined the books of
tie various county officers as best
we could in the short time allowed
us and ae far as we can ascertain,
find them correctly kept and in neat
condition.
We find the Treasurer with a bal¬
ance on handof $1927.99, he having
leceived since last report with bal¬
ance then on hand, $46050.87 and paid
out of the various funds in which a
tcve amount was divided, $44128.88.
We find the outstanding indebted¬
ness of the county represented by
notes payable to be $39605.72 which
appears to be the total indebtedness
o£ the county with the exception of
possibly $200.00 or $300.00 of current
accounts, from this may be deducted
$152.56 outstanding credit, principally
fti cement sacks returned to ship¬
pers for which no check has, as yet.
been received.
We are informed by our Treasurer
tl at after the 1913 taxes have been
collected in full, that the county
indebtedness will be cut down to
about $5000.00 which we consider an
exceedingly healthy showing.
The Committee on Public Building
reports all of the county buildings to
be in fair condition, in fact, in better
condition at the present than hey
have been for some years. Water
works at jail need some repairs.
V e find the Pauper Farm a total oi
8 inmates, four ‘white and four colored
o whom there is one white woman
and 1 colored woman. These inmates
ar. all in good health, seemingly well
contented and well cared for. Tie.
tuildings are all in good condition.
The Committee on Drug Stores re
ports four licensed drug stores in
C ovington, two at Mansfield, none at
Newborn, and as far as said
could ascertain the records and books
l--garbing sales of poisons, etc. have
fccen accurately and correctly kept.
We have examined the records of
ihe J. Pe. of the county and find them
correctly kept, but only a small por
t on of these records were turned in
for our examination.
We especially wish to impress the
J. Ps. of our county with the impor-
tance of using more care in the is
eaunee of warrants-. We find that'
some of our J. Ps are entirely too
careless in such instances, issuing
warrants often in frivolous cases that
should never be brought before the
Grand Jury. Also in making warrants
so indefinite that much valuable time
is lost in efforts to ascertain for
w hat the warrants are really issued.
Much time and expenses is required"
co investigate the numerous warrants
issued in our county and quite an
item of this expense can, and should
be, saved to our tax-payers, if our
Justices will exercise proper care
and caution in the issuance of war¬
rants.
We recommend the appointment of
tie following N. P. and Ex. of J. P.
Mansfield Dist. 1618, W. B. Beck¬
with. i
Almon Dist. 1717, W. S. Marbut.
We find in our county 138 Veterans
and 70 widows of Veterans, we find
i o changes to be made in the pen¬
sion list.
We recommend that the regular meet
ing of the Grand Jury of the Newtoi
Superior Court be changed to January
and July, the latter months being
much more convenient for both the
farmers and merchants of our county
We find 37 convicts in the camps’
12 of which are white and 25 colored.
There is one warden and 4 guards.
We find 19 mules all in fairly, good
rendition, 6 two horse wagons, 1 one
iorse wagon, 6 camp cars, 2 large
tents, 1 hog and 4 shoats, all of !
which are sick, one cow and calf, 6 I
•
v. heelers, 5 road machines. 10 sets of I 1

We find the conditions about th
premises to be as good as could be
expected, . the , convicte, , with one e> • 1
j option appear to be m good health '
cl ' d wel1 rared for in every way.
We wish to commend our warden
for the condition of the camp and
convicts, and especially for the ex- j
cellent work that he is doing on our
, public roads. We congratulate our |
commissioners on obtainging a wardei

We wish to thank Judge Reid and

and efficient assistance rendered uA
and for the able manner in which
they have discharged the duties of
their respective offices.
We recommend that these present¬
ments be published in The Covington

paid for the same.

LEVAE CHURCH
NAME_AS IT IS
MINISTERS AT EMORY OPPOSE
CHANGE IN NAME OF THE
CHURCH. QUESTION BE¬
ING DISCUSSED.
The consensus of opinion among
the minsters connected with Emory
College seems to be that the name
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, should not be changed. This
agitation has been going on for sev¬
eral years, and came from the west.
The western church thinks that
the word ‘ south” hinders the prog¬
ress of the church and their work in
that section, but it is said that the
M. E.Ohurch, South, made a greater
gain in membership than any other
church, according to the reports at
t e ecumencial conference in Toronto,
C anada, in 1912.
Dr. James E. Dickey, president of
Emory, is opposed to the change, and
voted to that effect at the General
<- oncerenc in AsJ-.ville, and will vote
against Qi _ . the proposed . plan . should . .. ,, it
^ brought up at the North Ge0rgia
in Elberton.
Dr. C. E. Dowman, dean of the
theological department, and Dr. R.
G. Smith, are also against any change
It is said that the prominent ad
of the change is Dr. H. M.
of Atlanta, while a strong
is Bishop A. W. Wilson.
