GENERAL PRESENTMENTS
Of the Grand Jury at the October Term of
Burke Superior Court. •
STATE OF GEORGIA, Burke
County:
Waynesboro, Ga., Oct. 5th, 1900
We, the Grand Jurors,chosen and j accounts of the treasurer, tax col-
ceiled as in its present condition it
cannot be made comfortable in ooid
weather. We recommend further
the purchase of a sufficient number
of milch cows to supply the de-
mands of the farm believing that
they would be profitable in many
ways. We are fully satisfied with
the condition and management of
the farm and feel that our citizens
should In every way possible fur
ther the institution. The establish
ment of thi3 farm has reduced the
expenses of maintaining the pau
pers from near two thousand to less
than 500 dollars per annum.
Public Roads and Chain Gang.
We have not had time to inspect
all the roads and bridges personal,
iy, but from what we know and
what we can learn from others the
roads and bridges throughout the
county are in better condition than
they have been for years. We heart
ily approve and endorse the present
system of working the roads.
We have not had time to inspect
the chain gang during the present
session, but it has been recently in
spected by one of the State Prison
commissioners who reported it as
being in good shape and properly
managed.
County Officers,
We have examined the books and
vouchers of the various county offi
cials as fully and completely as pos
sible in the limited time allowed
and we find no derelection of duty
to report on the part of any of them.
We seem to have a careful and
painstaking sot of officers who are
fulfilling the duties of their offices
as required by law.
The examinations of the hooks
and vouchers of ihe various county
officials made by committees from
this jury duriDg the present session
are necessarily far from thorough
or complete and consequently very
unsatisfactory. The work of com
mittees appointed from one grand
jury to report to the next is not
much more satisfactory thin that
done by committees during the ses
sion of the court as they are both
more or less perfunctory. In view
of lliis we recommend, that the
board of commissioners of roads and
revenues employ an expert ac
countant to examine the books and
sworn for the October term, 1900, of
Burke Superior Court, submit the
following general presentments:
To fill vacancies that have occur
red in the office of notary public and
ex-officio justice of the peace in the
61st, TOili and 74th districts, G. M ,
we recommend (hat R. F. Jones b-
appointed in the 74th; J.R Lambert
sn the 61st; and G. P. Kilpatrick in
the 70?h.
Public Buildings.
Court House:—We hnd the court
house in good condition with the
exception of some glass that are
needed in the sash in the Clerk’s of
fice. iVe recommend and insist that
some better method of ventilation
he provided for the grand jury
room. At present it is impossible
to transact the business before tht
jury with any degree of comfort.
We suggest that some way of ven
tilation from the roof be provided.
We are informed that the traverse
jury room is in much the same con
dition as the grand jury room. The
brick coping that has been recently
placed around the side walks ad
joining Ihe court grounds we think
a wise improvement.
Jail.—We find in fair condition
and neatly kept. The cells are clean
and odorless and as comfortable as
possible for such places to. be The
present method of supplying water
for the use of the jail is very incon
venient as the water has to be ear-
jied up by hand, the wind mill be-
lector, county school commissioner,
superintendent of public roads and
the books and accounts of such oth
er county officials as said board of

The heavy increase in lawless-
cess and crime since Ihe last ses
sion of the court as evidenced by
Ihe large number of cases brought
before us for investigation is a mat
ter of serious concern to our body.
In some sections of the county there
seem to have been an absolute dis
regard of the law as it has been open-
Ij and wilfully violated. These vio
lations are confined in a large meas
ure to the colored race but we re
gret to say not exclusively. We at
tribute this condition of affairs in
a large measure to the carrying o'
concealed weapons and to “Blind
Tigers.” In consequence of the con
dition just stated we most earnestly
and respectfully request 1I19 judge
of Ibis court or of any other court,
before whom those charged with
the offense of carrying concealed
weapons.or selling whiskey without
license, are brought for trial,that in
all cases of convictions the punish
ment inflicted be the severest al
lowed by the law. We call upon all
good citizens of the county irresp^c
tive of race or color to aid in the
suppression of these two evils
which are a menace to the quiet
and happiness of those who are law
abiding.
We recommend and request that
the members of the next general
assembly from this county secure
the passage of an act at the next
session of the legislature empow er
ing the board of commissioners of
roads and revenues to establish a
system of county police. We re
quest the county commissioners to
act upon this at once as we consid
er it of great importance, and are
satisfied if established it will aid
largely in punishing and also in the
suppression of crime.
We recommend that the magis
trates and constables of Ihe various
districts of the county be paid their
costs out of the county treasury in
a!i criminal cases where there i.-
convictions on final trial.
Justices of the Peace and Notaries Public
and Exofficio Justices of the Peace.
We have had considerable trouble
and annoyance with a number of
these officers, in most cases due to
their failure to have their dockets
before us on the first day of the
term as required by law. Wo haw
investigated each case fully aod in
every instance except one have had
satisfactory excuses rendered. We
do not think that future grand jur
ies will have any trouble with these
officers.
We have indicted W. D. Chance,
justice of the peace of the 63d dis
trict, G. M., for malpractice in office
and recommend that he he suspend
ed from office until the cases sgainst
him are finally determined.
On looking over the jury lists
since the last revision we find that
the jury commissioners have left
off the iists several men who were
living in a state ot marrige with ne
pro women. We comm'-md them
for their actions in this, and as
there are others still on the
iists who are guilty of the same of
fense. we recommend that they 7 be
left off at the next revision as we
are firmly opposed to this class of
men being allowed to servo on ju
ries.
We recommend that the county-
commissioners supply a suitable
hook case for the Ordinary’s office
as the same is badly needed.
We beg to tender his Honor
Judge E. L Brinson our thank-* fur
his able administration of justice in
our county, and his courteous treat
ment of our body.
This being the last term of the
court in which Solictor General W.
H. Davis will serve, we think it our
duty to give expression to the feel
ings of this jury for this worthy of
fi'-er. It is always a pleasure to
commend merit and faithful dis
charge of duty’ After a service of
eight years Mr. Davis retires from
office with the admiration of ail
the people and a consciousness o c
work well done and duties faithful
ly performed. Such officer as he
are an honor to his people, and w-e
tender to him our thanks with the
sincere wi-h for the success in life
he so richly deserves

sentments be published in The
