We submit report of Book
Committee fiom spr-mg term
Ware county superior-court Us
follows:
We, the undersigned committee
appointed by the grand jury
from the April term, 1704, su
perior court, Ware county, to
examine the books and records
of the county, and to make re
port thereto to tjie grand jury' of
the November term, 1904, hav
ing examined and reported at the
spring term, on books and rec
ords of the sheriff’s office, office
of clerk of the superior conrt,
office of clerk of city court, and
various justices of the peace, and
all of which we found neatly and
correctly kept, do hereby pres
sent this, our report on the books
and records of other officers:
First, We have examined the
books and vouchers of the county
commissioners, and found them
correct and in good condition.
Second. We have examined
the records and vouchers of the'
Board of Education and county
school commissioner and found
them correct, except there was
no record of eleotion of couuty
school commissioner, either in
November, 1908, for short term,
or March, 1904 for long term.
Third. We have carefully ex
amined tax digest for 1904, with
much care, and Snd several inacs
curiea therein, though they do
not amount to much. We also
examined the tax collector’s
t -book for 1908, and report it cors
i Jeotly kept
Fourth. We examined the
books of the county treasurer,
and found them neatly and cor
rectly kept. We find the treas
urer has balance cash on hand to
the amount of (1,064.03.
Fifth. We have had free ac
cess to the books and vouchers of
the ordinary’s office, and find
them In a-neat condition and cor-
rectly kept.
Sixth. We examined closely
the records, bills and vouchers
of the-county commissioners and
find them in good condition and
correctly and neatly kept. We
commend very highly the con
cise system of the book work
adopted by the county commis
sioners.
Upon a. whole we report.that
the book work, records, -vouchers,
etc., are kept by our various
county officials in a very com-,
mendatory manner.

We, the committee on fub'ic.
Buildings and Crnvict Camps,
beg to submit the following re
port:
We Bud mat there are but
three prisoners in the couuty
‘jail. Sanitary condition good,
but consider it uusafe for the
detention of desperate prisoners,
because of the fact that about
oae-haif of tlio flooring iu the
hall which separates the cells
has beeu destroyed by rust until
only a mere shell of the steal
floor not much thicker thanordis
narv heavy paper remains. We
advise that yon dlreot attention
to this in your recommendations
and trust the coon'y commis
sioners will Jiave necessary re
pairs made. The plastering it
broken in several places in the
court.house, caused, we under-
r - staud, by leaks in the roofing,
J which has been looked after and
■topped. We are of the opinion
that the services bv the janitor
Is not wbat it should be. The
sanitary closets in the basement
and other departments down
there sre not in a neat and dean
condition, sud the brick cl.,teu
in the wagon yard are in a very
bad condition. Hence, we rec
ommend that the care of the
conrt bouse and the wagon yard
be tnrned over to a competent
man at such wages as'will secure
a goid, competent man, and oae
that will keep these places in a
good sanitary condition. We
visited O. H. Lowther’s convict
camp rear Millwood, and found
it iu a splendid sanitary condi
tion. Everything was neat and
apparently every precaution had
been taken to procure the com
fort and safe, guard the health
of tlie convicts confined there
We visited two camps operated
by W. M. Toomer, one ne»r Bra
ganza, Ga'., and the other near
M. Tatum’s plantation; these are
large camps, holding ninery-
seyen slate convicts; and aro un
der the immediate care and con
trol of experienced officers furn
ished by the State The build
ings are all new, neat and clean.
The quarters of the city' chain-
gang are in good condition. The
county chalngang has tempor
ary quarters, having to move of
ten, but for them, we think the
most comfortable quarters pos
sible,has been provided. Your
committee regrets very much to
report, that the camp of W, W.
Beach & Co., near Manor, Ga.,
s in a very bad condition. Tney
have about twenty-six misde
meanor convicts, white and black,
purchased from the officials of
Ware, Appling, Wayne and
Pieroe connties. They are kept
at night in a miserable log hut
fnll of holes, giving very little
protection from winds and cold
They are provided with very lit
tle bedding, no appliances for
beating building or any conven
ience for feeding convicts. We
recommend that the' proper au
thorities see to it, that this camu
is cleaned up and comfortable
quarters provided for the con
victs, at once.

We the committee appointed
to examine the books, of the va
rious offices of the county beg to
submit the following report:
We have examined-, the books
of the clerk of the city and su
perior court, anl fiud them neatly
and correctly kept.
We have examined the books
of the sheriff and find them neat
ly and correctly kept.
We have examined the books
and vouchers of the treasurer
and find them neatly and cor
rectly kept. We commend the
treasurer for the manner in
which he had bis vouchers ' ar
ranged, thereby shortening the
work of the committee. We find
the treasurer holds overpaid
vonobers amounting to (2,804.22,
which can soon Le oovt red by the
collection of taxes.
We have examined ihe' books
of the various Juatlcea of the
Peace, except thn books from the
1082 district and 1490 district,
which were not presented to the
committee for examinat'on, and
(onnd them correctly kept, ex
cept there is no dates to show
when the entries were made in
Justice Elias Moore’s books, and
no eutries to show wbat disprsi-
tion-was made of many of the
cases entered on Justice J. W.
Highemith's books.

with tbe exception that bridges
across "small drains iu tbe

districts »nd along the road lead
ing from Wajcross to the Oke-
fenokee swamp are in bid con

ciunty commissioners have these
.mall bridges repaired at tbe
carlieit convenience.
We find tbar. it is impossible
for th’s jury to examine and re
vise the tax diger-t during this
term of court, and in view of tbe
fact that it wilt take considerable
time to make a good and careinl
revision, we have appointed
commiltee of three from oar
body to gather wi h one man
from each district to make a
careful revision of all tax re
turns, making a list of said re
visions and placing same with the
tax assessor before March 2.1003,

London, Nov. 17.—There is a
new crisis in the north sea inci

Petersburg correspondent to the
Daily {Telegram. The Russian
Admiralty has gained the asce.-
denoy over the foreign office,and

It is also said that Count Benck-
eudorff, amlassador to Great
Britain, will be rna'e a scape
goat, and will probably be re
called. The correspondent ex
pressed alarm regarding the
outcome. In the meantime, the
correspondent says, the negotla

matter will be re'erred to the

Tokjo, Nov.17.—The opinion
is expressed here that the Pato-
rohny was carried to Obe Foo
with dispat-lies for St. Potera
burg explaining the situation at
Port Ar.hnr. Every report
from Port Arthur indicates the
scarcity of certain kinds of am
munition, and the short'ge of
provisions. All prisoners taken
tell tlio same story i-f the in
creasing hunger, and assert that
the Russian commanders as .di
vided on the questhlh of continu
ing'tlie defense.
