RECORDS.
We have examined the books of
the various county officers and find
‘‘hem neatly and correctly kept.
We recommend the re-appointment
of J. D. Snellgrove as Notary Public
and ex-officio, J. P., for 976th district,
G. M., to succeed himself, his present
term having expired. .
We have elected Mr. B. I. McKen
ney as County Commissioner to suc
ceed himself, -
We find the records of all the J. P.’s
and Ex-Off. J. P.’s have been properly
kept and costs itemized.
After due and careful consideration
of the matter of our County Court, we
recommend that said court be abol
‘ished ang a City Court be established
instead, and that the Judge and So
licitor of said City Court be paid a
salary commensurate with the services
rendered. And that all fines and for-i
feitures he paid into the county treas
ury, and that the sheriff and other‘
officers be paid their lawful costs by
the County Treasurer upon a bill ap
proved by the judge of said proposed
court. We further recommend that
the State Legislature be petitioned to
enact the necessary laws to put the
terms of the preceding paragraph in
effect. We recommend.that the Coun
ty Commissioners investigate the re
pairs that have recently heen made on
Wright's bridge, as we consider the
charges for same excessive. We also
call the commissioner’s attention to
the condition of the road at Adans’
Station. This road is continually
blocked up with lumber and timber.
The well, which is in the edge of the
road near Mr. Pa~ } old stable, should
be covered uj as we consider it dan
gerous. :
We recommend that the county
commissioners be instructed to pros
ecute any and all persons fmmfll
guilty of plowing into the public road- ‘
way, or near enough thereto to dam
age the roadway or to cause the fill
ing in of the gutters on the road
side,.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners be elected by the
Grand Jury as heretofore,
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We find one fireplace in the court
house needs repairing. The blinds and
steps need repairing, some of the win
dows neeq new lights and fastenings.
The plastering is in bad condition,
We find that some of the windows in
the jpil neeq new lights. The. door
and ventilators of the cellar need re
pairing to keep out water. The water
works Iso need repairs. Several of
the fireplaces at the stockade need
repairing. With the above exceptions
we find all public buildings in good
condition, We recommend that these
répairs be made at once. We have

pairs to the courthouse.
ROADS.
The County Commissioners repoit
‘that they have on hand for road pur
‘poses, property of all Kinds to the
value of $4,552.47. We find that
‘there have been constructed under the
present system approximatetly 100
‘miles of road at an approximate cost
of $150.00 per mile. In concluding
our labors, we desire to tender our
thanks to his Honor, Judge Z. A.
Littlejohn, and Solicitor General 10 A,
Hooper, for the able and prompt man
qner in which they have dispatched the
business of the court. We recommend
;:hat these presentments be published
'in the Lee County Journal, and that a
froasona.ble amount be paid for said
publication.

WOMAN COUNTED TEN.
And Sounded Death Knell of Husband
at Hands of Robbers. ‘
A special from Parkersburg, W. Va,, |
says: A posse of officers, accompa
‘nied by a large number of infuriated
‘residents, are searching Calhoun
~county for three masked robbers, who,
at an eariy hour Thursday morning,‘
shot to death Charles Berkshire, a
farmer living near Brooksville, atteri
inhumanly torturing his wife.
The family was aroused shortly a.f-!
ter midnight by the robbers; wha, &f- |
ter binding the wife, led the husband‘
to the center of the room, turned up
the lights and ordered Mrs. Berkshire
to count ten, stating that if her hus
band did not tell them, where his‘
money was they would kill him on
the tenth count. |
'he couple insisted that they had|
no money, and the outlaws pinched
and beat the woman and applied burn
ing matches to the soles of her feet.
Screaming in agony, Mrs. Berkshire
finally comsented to count ten, and on
the tenth count a shot rang out and
her husband fell dead. The fiends,
becoming frightened, fled and it was |
hours afterwards when neighbors‘
found the woman in such a pitiable
state of collapse that it is feared |
she wiil die. v ‘

" Sues for Time on Chaingang.
The constitutionality of sending a
man to prison without a trial by jury
and incidentally an attack upon the
police court, are the main grounds
for two suits for personal damages
filed a few days ago in the Atlanta
city cogrt. Joe Wiley, 15 years old,
sues the city of Atlanta for §5,000,
while his father asks $2,738.75 for in
juries received by his son.
It is alleged that the boy was sent
to the city stockade by the police
recorder without due process of law,
in that there was no trial by jury,
ag is guaranteed all by the congtity
tion of the state and of the United
States. It is alleged that while work

Valdosta Raises Licenses.
The Valdosta city council raised the
license for retailing liquors, in Vai
dosta from $6OO to $l,OOO a year, and
placed a tax of $2,000 a year on agents
who sell spiritucus liquors, but carry
no stock. The license for auctioneers
was. placed at $2OO, bucket shops or
dealers in futures of any kind $lOO
and trading stamp companies at §s2oo.
The tax cn a number of other busi
nesses was also materially increased.
There are now ten saloons in the city,
and it is not believed that any of
them will quit business on account
of the increased Mcense. The new
license schedule on saloons will go

President lohnson llssues Circular.
Every means possible is being ex
hausted by President M. L. Johnson
of the Georgia divisien Sotithern Cor
ton Association, to impress upon the
the cotton growers and business in
terests of the state the necessity of
becoming members of the association,
and alding in the work at hand.
In a circular letter addressed to
these inferests President Johnson
points out in graphic style and force
ful manner the present plans and fu
ture purposes of the association, and
calls upon every patriotic ecitizen to
lend a hand and help save the south
from her worst enemies, He urges
every county official to see that his
county is more thoroughly organized,
that the objects of the association Ye
placed squarely before the cotton
grower and that every eligible man
ha brought into the fold.
President Johnson says:
“IZvery man in the state should be
a member, in good standing, wearing
s padge. We strive for all, Al
puuallt hdipng T " pmmon cause
and a common 4 we ‘worve. I,
therefore, appeal to each oné€i pa
triotism, love of family and hone,
love of fellowman and lastly to his
self love. It is hest for all and best
for him, it is bulwark of the law
of self defense. Thus resting on the
golid rocks of home supplies, diversi
fled crops, reduction of acreage ana
fertilizers (already done) few pur
’cbases on time, slowly marketing our
cotton, stable prices for same, rais
ing other maoney crops, opening wider
and more markets for cotton through
out the nations of the world; we will
be independent of and defy every
trust., A trust in self-defense, for
each and all, doing good work for all,
for the individual. It is for this work
and to this end I ask the aid eév
ery Georgian.”

The recent report of Commissioner

of an official investigation undertaken
by the Depertment of Commerce and.
Labor of the United States, was a vin- i
dication of the Western paeckers, buf *
this result having been unexpected at

In view of the situation as it now
stands, however, attention w'pwp er
ly be called to a few facts Qg;_ Q.W%‘
to popular clambr are now being ap
parently overlooked. Fdir \treatusent
in this country has heretofore been a\¢-
corded to all citizens whose affairs as-~
sume prominence in the public eye and
some of the facts that bear upon the
relation of the packers to the com
merce of the country may at thil-fl%&
be briefly alluded to. It would be
difficult to estimate the benefits gaimed
by the farmers of the country result
ing from the energetic enterprise of
the packers, for whatever is of benefit
to the farmer is a gain to the entire
commerce of the country. And con
nected with their continuous aggres
sive work no feature perhaps has been
more important than their efforts jm
seeking outlets all over the world for®
the surplus products of ’the"turmeg.l-
Our total exports of agricultural pro
ucts have gained but little in the past
twenty years, and leaving out corn, the
total of all other farm products was
far less in 1003 than in 1891, But in
packing house products there was con
siderable gain during this period, be
cauge an organized and powerful force
has heen behind them seeking new and
broader markets. : ]
Besides the benefits reaped by farm
ers on account of the enterprise and
energy exercised by the packers in' at
taining ecommercial results by tore'm
trade, the great development In ting
manufacture of packing bouse by-prod
uefs has added enormonsly to the
