He built the first merchant mill in the State, and was the first mau in America who bad iron couvertod into steel. The first iron works in Georgia wore built by his agency. Ho has spent four-soore years and is still spending much of the power of his giant intellect in Georgia's industries., A nobler heart, a broador intellect and more untiring energy never were combined in any one mao.

We find the books and acconnta of the various county officers neatly and correctly kept, with proper vouchers We find that a careful and exact icounting by the Comr -oadS and Reyenues iihef County Treasurer has been bad, and the .disbursements ou county, matters 'show a close and wise eoonomy in the 'administration of financial matters forthe pastjftdr, complete what is known &&d9ig*Btyi of the Legislature an act was passed, • ^ ■ «« ro^bc ' *** f*—- — #mwmam Jury, autnoi „ „ jSuf of on tbe-roadr^rptiti Btcuisgick toJJsre- lyn, and we also rerommend the Com- missionors of Roods and Revenues to expend the sum of $IQQ for new bridges in Olay Hole Swamp, ff they deem it expedient, and to expetia wnat is necessary on Buffalo causeway; and in the' 27th District we recommend the rdad commissioners to call out the hands aud repair the roads and brWfgWHu Big Buffalo Swamp. We find-tbs'reat of the county ! roads and bridges in fair order. The Commis sioners of Roads and Revennetilidve built a new bridge over Green creek at an 8xpehse.of $245, and - repaired bridge over College creek at an ex pense of $70. We would recommend that tlie Commissioners of Roads and j the very important and pressjng no- Rovonues employ a practical meoh»- 1 cessities of public education without missioners to the amount of $1,576.76, from May 10JL881 to November 30, 1881, and hatebnrhand at that date a We would Commend the Commiss- Roads and Revenues for. administration-T# the last August.

Negotia tions are now pending, with a fair prospect of success, looking to this desirable end,' and, if perfected, the county should ha.hereafter able to 1 pay its ordinary expeitMs, to,.meet ii interest account promptly,, to provid the “sinking fund” to extingnish ti now bonds at maturity, , to erect much needed public - buildings, and to give at least one-tenth of ono per cent to io to, examine,all bridges built for > county by contract before accept, the ,some. We would call the tion of the road commissioner* throughout the county to the fact that there arc a large number of per sons' in tbeif districts subject to road duty, who, - If properly worked, would keep our public roads in excellent coAditiOh. ~ . PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND BOARDOF EDUCATION We find the public schools have been kept open tho past year for a longer time than any preceding year, tbe attendance of scholars greater than at apy previous time, aud tbe qualifications of tbo teacbers superior to those of past years, thus showing a gratifying advancement in the cause of eduoation. Still muoh remains to be done, and tbe moans at the com maud of the Board are insufficient to pay teachers a fair compensation for their services, and thoy are without funds to repair school property or to erect necessary buildiugs for school purposes, wbioh are greatly needed. We find tbe white school building in Brunswick too small to accommodate the largo number of pupils who at tend. The Board have recently rented and fitted up, with improved school furniture, a small building for a pri mary school of fifty pnpils, which af fords some relief, bnt we would rec ommend that when tbe means at their command will admit that they enlarge thoir school building or orect a new one. WAflnd the books and accounts of tpe Board of Education in perfect or der, neatly and correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all disbursements, and we would heartily commend tbe Board for the business-like manner in which they are conducting this impor tant branch of the public service with the limited means at their command. In conclusion, we would recommend that, in view of mr school needs, ef forts bo mad* - o bave an act passed by tbe next L islnturo authorizing the Comtnissio :•* of Roads and Rev enues, upon <• ^ recommendation of the Grand jq.», o assess an aumtnl, tax of one-ten* • "f one per cent upon all the taxahV property of Glynn county lor ki-JiuoI purposes. ' . ' ELECTIONS. We find the election returns correct with corresponding tolly sheets. Wo have elected the following named gentlemen Commissioners of Roads and Revennes for tho year 1882: Thos. W. Lamb, Matthew J. Colson and Warren A. Fuller. We havo elected James W. Manoe School Commissioner for tho 27th increasing the burden of county taxa tion. In this connection we would state that the labors of the Grand Jury of tho fall term of 1880 on the tax digest largely increased the revenue of the coanty for 1881, and we trust that the action of this Grand Jury will still more largely aid its finances for the year 1882 by increasing the amount of retdrns for taxable proper ty in Glynn county some $425,000 an dor tho law requiring proper returns to be made, under tho strict supervis ion of the samo, by each Fall Tern of tho Grand Jury. We can but oensare the present Tax Reooivor ns well os his predeces sors in office for some years past, for gross negligence of duty, as evinced by tbe very incomplete and insuffi cient returns on the tax digest. We have, by a competent committee of nine jurors, taken from all parts of tbe county, thoroughly examined tbe tax digests of 1881, compared them with those of 1880, and with tbe city of Brunswick tax returns for 1881, and as the result of our careful and laborious scrutiny, find that parties have unde returns to city of Bruns wick, not on county tax digests, to tbe amount of 112 polls and $76,- 419 of property. Wo also find a de ficiency of over $300,000 worth of proporty, most of which is in the city, resulting from under valuation in re- tarns, and over $50,000 in the coun try, the latter mainly arising from un der valuation of wild lands. These oombined amounts make the sum of about $425,000 short returns, result ing in a loss to the oennty of orift $2j± 000. We reoommend the Tax tfol- lector to ^ako np the 112 polls and $76,319 on tax digest for 1881, and' proceed to collect the same at once.— In accordance with the law, lists of parties who have made nnddt valua tions of their taxable property will be furnished the Tax Receiver for His guidance in taking the retnrhsof 1882.' The tax digests of 1880 Add 1681 are both defective in that the'Receiver Has failed to add np and carry forward each page separately and guke a state ment of some, showing aggregate of eaoh distrint, as Xeqnired by law. We notice- in digest of 1880 one page of polls, 32 in number, is loft ont in mak ing np aggregate, making it probable that tbe sum of $32 will be lost to Ed ucation Fund from this canse. We recommend the Tax Receiver not to receive returns of wild lands in Glynn coanty at less than one dollar per aero, excepting marsh lands. Wo find that tbe County Treasurer has paid drafts of the Coanty Com- county finances for the past year, and we have recommended them to pur chase two iron safes to preserve tbe coanty books and papers in. t WnH ?~?cocourt.
