STATE OP GEORGIA—COUNTY OP
WARE.
We. the Grand Jury, sworn and em-
pannellcd to serve during the Novem
ber Term 1908, Ware Superior Court,
beg leave to submit the following os
our General Presentments:
We have examined, through Com-
nlttee and otherwise, into the condi-
t of the roads of the county and the
Convict Camps and submit herewith
four report.
Nothing advertises a county more
than good roads and we are in hearty
sympathy with the good roads move
ment and applaud the efforts that our
Governor is making to Interest the
people of the State in this movement
and to this end we recommend that the
County Commissioners look into the
advisability of paving our roads with
Augusta gravel or some hard material,
believing that a road so paved would
be permanent and cost the county
practically nothing for maintenance.
We submit herewith the report ot
our Book Comlntttee, who have made
careful inspection of the records kept
by the various officers.
We commend to the careful consider
at ion of the County Commissioners
the advisability of renewing negotia*
lions heretofore pending looking to
the adoption of a thorough and ado-
quate system of tax returns and pro’
perty valuation.
It is urged that the example set us
by some other progressive counties
of the State be followed, in providing
a permanent record book for the Gen
eral Presentments of the Grand Jury,
thoroughly indexed, to be used by
each succeeding Grand Jury.
The Property Committee has round
conditions as outlined in their report
which we Incorporate herewith as part
of these presentments, as follows:
The work being done by the King’s
Daughters Hospital in Waycross was
reported to the Grand Jury and by In
vitation the Jury visited this institu
tion in a body. We cannot too highly
command the work at this Hospital
And feel sure that the contribution of
seventy-live dollars per month being
made to the by the County Commis
sioners Is fully warranted by the sav
ing effected to the county In the care
and maintenance of the sick and af
flicted, and that their action will meet
the approval of every voter of the
•.minty.
Believing that the observance of the
Sabbath Day is necessary to the wel
fare of our people and that it is at
the very foundation of our liberty,
prosperity and happiness, and without
It’s careful observance we cannot
claim the blessings of an All-wise
Creator, we therefore call upon our
people In every town, village and coun
ty district to keep the Holy Sabbath
Day and not to violate it's tacrednesi
by engaging in any aecular duties or
even in any unwanted pleasures. By
thus adhering to the mandates of the
Divine and Civil law*Bh(dl our people
come to that place of and re
ligious' greatness that \fiall disting
uish us among the counties of our be
loved 8tate and insure to us and to
our children the blessings of Divine
favor both In basket and in store.
While It la not perhaps within the
prpvlnce of the Grand Jury to go Into
a matter such as we now enter, in
recommendations, still believing It to
be for the betterment ot the morals
of our people we unhesitatingly speak
cl It. Namely, the divorce evil and

We recommend that these present
ments be published in the Waycross

that Ten dollars be paid each ol
them for such publication.
The thanks of the body are ten
dered the Foreman and Clerk, and
recommendation made that Ten Dol
lars be paid each of them in addition
to their per diem.
, The difficulties of our deliberations
have been greatly lessened by the
efficient service rendered us by the
Solicitor General, to whom our thanks
are tendered; and in taking leave of
his Honor Judge T. A. Parker, we
wish to express our appreciation for
the clearness and forcefulness with
which he charge 1 us touching the

regret that he is not enjoying the us

Report of Committee on Road and
Convict Camps, Grand Jury, No
vember Term 1908
With the exceptions in this report,
we find upon Investigation, that the
roads and bridges in the County are
In good condition.
The road leading South from Mill-
wood needs attention and the bridges
between Millwood and Fairfax should
be fixed.
There are some washes on the road
from Millwood to the Satilla river.
Attention of the County Commis
sioners is called to the condition of
the road leading from Manor In a
Southeasterly direction leading to u
connection with the old train road and
to the road between the Obedlab Bar
ber place and Clinch county line, with
request that they give same attention
as early as possible. Also construct
bridges near Suwannee and Water
Oak creeks.
The Importance of opening a public
road from the Iron, bridge through
the Eighth District to the county un«*
to a junction with public road lead
ing from Waycross to Douglas is, call
ed to the attention .of the'Commission-
.rerun.

Commissioners in constructing the
roads now being built, upon the lines
laid down by */c law and deem It un
necessary to urge upon them the Im
portance of bringing the existing
road up to the same standard as rapid
ly as possible.
We found the convict camp and the
stockade In Waycross In very satisfac
tory condition.
In order that proper data may be
bad upon which to base an estimate
of the expense of maintaining the
work of the County Convicts, we rec
ommend for the consideration or the
Commissioners the matter ot adopt
ing a moro thorough record and chock
of expenditures and that a record ot
tools and equipment be enstallcd and
kept up to date.

We find the Court House in fairly
good condition.
We recommend that the old closet
In Court House lot be removed and
discontinue. In our judgment It
Is Injurious to publlo health, and we
also recommend that the small room
in rear of court house be fitted up
as a toilet room for use of ladles
only.
We recommend that the streets
around the court house be paved, or
at least the side walks leading to the
oourt house steps be paved.
We find the jail In as good condi
tion as is possible to keep It, but It
Is entirely Inadequate to accommo
date the number of persons that is
frequently placed in It and is injurious
to health. We recommend that a new
jail be built at once on the county
lot northwest of court house.
We also recommend that a commit
tee of five of the present Grand Jury
be appointed to act with the county
commissioners in regard to building
said jail

The governor did not hesitate to

It was time we were cutting loose
