A fairly good number matriculating.
A few of the colored teachers of
the county are showing their good
judgment bv spending their idle
time in school. It is unfortunate
that all colored teachers not hold
ing a Normal diploma have riot
done the same thing. The Board
of Education is sure to favor those
who merit it, and incompetent
teachers will have to give way to
those who are doing what th°y can
to make themselves competent.

Election of County Commissioners, Just ices
of the Peace and Notaries of the Public —
City Court to be Established - Payment
of Insolvent Costs, Etc.
GEORGIA-Burke County:—
We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and
sworn for the October term, 1901, of
Burke Superior Court submit the
following general presentments:
We have elected as Commission
ers of roads and revenues for the
ensuing term Frank M. Cates, Ed
win Fulcher, Joe. P. Applewhire. R.
E. Melton and Thos. 8. Blanchard.
Iri this connection we desire to com
mend the present Commissioners,
who voluntarily retire from office,
for their able management of the
affairs of the county during their
term of office.
We recommend for appointment
to the office of Notary Public and
ex officio Justice of the Peace in the
various districts of the county
where vacancies have occured, eith
er from death, resignation or the ex
piration of the term of the present
incumbent of the following: J. H
Mackenzie in the 60 and 624 dis
trict ; E O Mays in the 64th disiriet;
A. M. Torbitt in the 69t!i district;
J. O. Applewhite in the 70:h ois-
trief; L. D. Hill in the 72d disiriet;
J W. Sandeford in 731 district; J
V. Jones in ilia 75th district; J. R
Robinson 71st district; D. E. Nesbitt
67th district. G. M.
Public Buildings
We find the pauper .farm in good
condition, reflecting credit upon the
Superintendent.
The court house is in -airly good
condition. A pane of glass is need
ed in one of the windows of the
Clem’s office, the plastering in ihe
Sheriff’s office and a grate and fire
place in the Ordinary’s office should
be repaired at cnce.
The wood work on the jail ia fn
very bad condition, unless sold ft
should have both porches (back and
front) windows and kitchen repair
ed as soon as possible. We recom
mend that the jail be sold and a
new one be built, provided that the
present one can be sold at a fair
price and a more advantageous lot
secured upon which to erect a new
jail-
County Officers.
The Justices of the peace and No
tary Publics ex officio Justices of
'he Peace, almost without exception
had their dockets before us on the
first day of the court. We have
carefully examined the dockets and
find that these officers are comply
ing with the law in discharging the
duties of their office.
Fax Receiver:—We have ex
amined the books of this officer and
find them neatly kept. The increase
in taxable property for the year 1901
over that of 1900 is $236,625 and we
wish to compliment this officer on
the very handsome increase, as well
as the excellent manner of keeping
his books.
Sheriff:-This officer has been
vigilant and active in perform
ing the duties of his office arid very
few violators of the law have escap
ed arrest at his hands. The books
if his office appear to be kept in a
business like manner.
Treasurer and Tax Collec
tor: -It was impossible In the time
at our disposal to make a thorough
examination of the books of these
officers. Their books have been re
cently examined by a commitee ap
pointed by the last Grand Jury who
report them as correct. These of
ficers were extremely courteous
and they extended to us every fa
cility to aid us in the examination
of their books.
Clerk of the Court and Or
binary:-These are both capable
officers and appear to be conducting
the business of their offices in an
up-to-date manner. As far as pos-
sibie to determine from (he exami
nation made their books, records
and vouchers are corrrectly kept
Judge of the County Court: -
The records of this officer are cor
rect. Ail Judgments have been re
corded and 0 fas issued and entered
upon the execution docket, and ai!
cost3 collected bar been paid over
to the treasurer as the law requires
We have carefully examined the
pension list ot the county and find
that none are drawing pensions ex
cept those v/ho are entitled to do so
under the law.
We attach hereto and embody as
a part of these presentments the re
ports of the various officers made to
this jury.
We recommend that tbe Clerk of
the Superior Court he required to
keep a correct record of ihe time of
the commencement and date of the
expiration of the terms of office of
the members of the Board of Educa
tion, County Commissioners, Jus
tices of the Peace and Notaries Pub
lic ex officio Justices of the Peac e
of the county and lay the same be
fore the Grand Jury oa the first day
of the term of each conrt.
Th9 using of dynamite for the
purpose of killing fish has been
brought to the attention of the jury.
In the case before us for investiga
tion it was impossible to secure
euough evidence to indict. We call
upon all good citizens to aid in sup
pressing this practice and to pre
sent all cases to the next Grand
Jury of which they may have
knowledge.
We recommend that the county
court of Burke county be abolished
and that the city court of Waynes
boro in and for the county of Burke
be established in ihe city of Way
nesboro in the place thereof.
We recommend that the salaries
and fees of the officers of said city
court when established be as fol
lows :-Judge of the court one thous
and dollars per annum; Solicitor of
the court five hundred dollars per
annum. The fees of the clerk and
sheriff of eaid court shall be the
same as in the superior court, ex
cept for attendance upon court, for
which services they shall receive
two dollars per day for each
day they are in attendance at the
regular terms of said court. We re
commend that the sheriff of the
county of Burke be 'he ex officio
Sheriff of the city court, and that
the Clerk of the Superior court be
ex officio eierk of the city court. In
all other matters wo recommend
that the court be made to conform
to the general act creating the va
rious city courts throughout the
state.
We recommend that justices of
the peace, notaries public and ex
officio justices of the peace and con
stables of the county he paid their
costs out of county treasury in all
criminal cases where conviction is
had on final trial. If in order to do
this it is necessary to have special
legislation, vve recommend that the
county commissioners secure the
passage of an act at the approach
ing session ot ;he Genera! Assem
bly authorizing them to pay this
cost.
We recommend that the pay of
Grand and Traverse Jurors and
bailiffs for the ensuing year be fixed
at two dollars per day.
We have fixed as the minimum
valuation for the return of land for
taxation at two dollars per acre lor
pine and three dollars for oak ami
hickory. The tax receiver must en
force this valuation in receiving the
returns of property for taxation in
1902
We recommend that the solicitor
general of the Superior court be
paid a salary, provided that the
county commissioners can make a
satisfactory agreement with him.
We recommend that the members
of the committee appointed by the
iast Grand Jury to examine the
books, records,-etc., of the various
county officers during vacation be
paid two dollars per day for the
time that they were actually en
gaged in the woik. We have ap
pointed no committee to hoid over
from this jury and recommend that
in future this practice bo abandon
ed as we consider their work of verj'
little value. We desire to give ex
pression to our approval of a recom
mendation made by a former Grand
Jury that the county commission
ers employ an expert accountant
to examine the books,’ records,
vouchers, etc., of the various officers
of the county. We request and urge
the county commissioners to com
ply with this recommendation as
an examination of this kind would
be of some value to the county.
It has come to our attention that
lewd houses exist in Waynesboro
and other portions of this county.
This is in open violation of law, and
destructive of the morals of any
community. We regret that we are
unaDls to procure sufficient proof
to indict any of ibis class of people.
State laws seem u inadequate to deal
effectively with either the proprie
tors or inmates of such places. We
wish to call to our aid the passage
of more stringent municipal laws in
Waynesboro and other incorporated
towns in this county.
In taking leave of the court, we
desire express to his honor, Judge
E. L Brinson our high appreciation
of the able and fearless charge de
livered to our body at the com
mencement of the present session
and to extend our thanks for his
able administration of justice in
the county.
We commend our Solicitor Gen
era!, Joseph S. Reynolds for the
promptness and rapidity with which
he has dispatched the enormous
amount of criminal business before
us at the present session and for his
uniform courtesy to our body.
We recommend that these pre
sentments be published in The
True Citizen.

The case of tho state against
Minn Bargeron for killing Herman
Reeves vyas called and tried Wed
nesday last in the Superior court
here
Tnis case it is remembered creat
ed great excitement at ihe time and
The Citizen gave a very full ac
count of it. The killing of a white
man by a young negro of reputed
bad character is well calculated to
arouse indignation. It was suppos
ed at the time he would be lynched
if he could be gotten at, and our
sheriff, W. L McElmurray who had
him in arrest and in jail soon after
the killing very prudently checked
such a move, if there realty was one
by sending him to Augusta by hia
deputy J. M. Reynolds for safety
against lynchers No real efforts to
lynch were ever discovered, that
could be relied on.
The testimony before the court
that tried him conflicted as usual,
but there was enough to satisfy the
jury beyond doubt that he was guil
ty of murder. The fact that he was
recommended to mercy of the court
shows how humane our juries are
and how false are the impressions
that go out that the South is forev
er crying out for th9 blood of ne
groes. Hero is an iustanee of a re
commendation for clemency where
a negro is convicted of killing a
young, popular white man. Why?
the jury knew it was murder, but
at the same time they took in con
sideration the age of the young fel-
lov/.His life of slavery will be severe
punishment and may (each others
that human life is worth something
in Burke county.

Sam Jones
Got here on schedule time
and maybe he didn't raise a,
howl. Officers and rear seat
members of the churches,
bucks and buckesses, Demo
crats Republicans, and
Populists, “Sassiety,” good-
for-nothing husbands, Joe
Terrell and others caught
the ‘‘dickens” there, and gpt
a prophecy of warmer
things he said suited us,
and as he said it was the
hit ’un that would be howl
ing after he left. W e have
no remards to make about
what we didn't like.
That gwri, Sctm,was shoot
ing in the hole at 'em,which
must have scattered power
ful,for we understand there
were lots of howling. We
hoped he would enlarge up
on one subject that he touch
ed, but he doesn't care to,
and we were afraid to ask
him to, and that was about
‘‘merchants skinning peo
ple.” He couldn't stop it
though, for when a fellow
gets loaded up with bad
credits he has got to “skin”
people why pay to make up
for those who don't. That's
why THE CASH CON
CERN don't have to “skin”
anybody, because it believes
“no man as good as gold”
and keeps no books fnll of
“Tickets.” That’s the reas
on we can afford to sell
goods away below par and
still make a decent living.
