Parrott, BROWN & PARROTT, EDITORH ANf> PUBLIBIlBKfl. GENERAL PRESENTMENTS Of the Grand Jury Chosen and Sworn for the Soptember Term, 1909, of Coweta Superior Court. We, the Brand jury chosen and sworn for the September term, 1909, of Coweta Superior Court, beg leave to make the following presentments: PUBLIC BUILDINGS. On inspection of the court-house we find same kept fairly clean, and in a sanitary condition. We find the doors to hoiler-roorn and coal-room in base ment are not kept locked, and in ronse- qucnce they have become a depository for empty whiskey Imttles, and show evidence of being a place for secret drinking of intoxicants. We therefore recommend that all apartments of the court-house be kept locked when not being used for the purposes appointed. We find that the tin roof of the court house needs repainting, and recommend that the County Commissioners give the matter prompt attention. We further recommend that the Commis sioners devise and execute the best plan for preventing the Hooding of the area-ways of the court-house, and have rubber coverings put on the main stair ways leading to the court-room. On inspection of the jail building we rind the same kept in a reasonably clean and sanitary condition. We find seven negroes and three whites in jail. We recommend that the jail be repaint ed on the outside, and have new gut tering and a new veranda across front of same. ORDINARY, CLERK AND SHERIFF. Oil examination of the records of each of the above-named officers we find same neatly and correctly kept, and we commend them for their effi ciency. TAX BOOKS. We wat' the Tax Collector’s hooks nout/y and, so far as we could ascer tain, correctly kept. Special taxes col lected for 1909 to date, $1,670. We find the Tax Receiver’s digest neatly kept, but in some instances ir regularities were found in district land numbers, and recommend that the num bers of districts be properly recorded. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY TREASURER. We find the books of the County Com missioners neatly kept, and witli such system as to show the amounts spent for different purposes. Tl.ir books of the County Treasurer Were inspected by us. Wc find them neatly kept. We did not add up or ver ify the accounts. The statements of the Treasurer are attachri hereto. CONVICT CAMP AND COUNTY FARM. The chaingang seems to be in fairly good condition, we finding only one man sick. The other men seem to be in healthy, ablebodied condition. There were no complaints of cruel or abusive treatment. We attach Cnpt. Nash’s last report, which will give in detail the conditions of property there. The mess hall fly tent seems to be in bad condition, and a new one is needed. We find the crop on the County Farm in very good condition. The superin tendent has 42 acres in corn, 22 acres in cotton. 3 acres in sorghum, 2 acres in vegetables and potatoes, and l acre devoted to watermelons, lie has 12 acres in wheat, making 150 bushels, and 5 acres in oats, producing 160 bushels this season. We find he has seven head of hogs, two mules, three cows and one calf ; eight or ten tons of hay and five thousand bundles of fod der on hand. There are 18 inmates at present—8 whites and 10 colored; 5 white females, 3 white mnles, 5 color ed females and 5 colored males. There seems to be no complaint about food, conditions, or clothing. We found things cleanly, and apparently in good condition, in all the details of the farm. We wish to commend Mr. Cruse for his successful conduct of the farm, j. r.’s and n. r.’s. We have examined the books of these officers of the several districts, as fol lows: 691st, 646th, 647th, 749th, 742d, 306th, 1139th, 135Sth and 992d, and, so far as we can ascertain, they are prop erly kept and entries made according to law. The books for the remaining districts were not presented to us for examination. PENSIONS. We have carefully examined the pen sion roll and find same correct. RECOMMENDATIONS. That the pay of jurors and bailiffs shall he 52 per day for the ensuing year. That H. B. Arnold be appointed N. P. and ex-officio J. P. of Cedar Creek district, and 1. B. Murphy N. P. and ex-officio J. P. of the S06th district, G. M. S. E. Leigh and J. C. McKoy elected i>en)bers of the County Board of Edu cation. That our Representatives in the Leg islature be asked to urge the passage of a law requiring that each county keep a record of vital statistics—that is, dates of births and deaths. We find that crime seems to he in proportion to the use of intoxicating liquors; and it seems, further, that the near-beer saloons are the headquarters for drinking and carousing in our towns and cities. We think that these re sorts are the breeders and instigators of crime, and should, in our opinion, he either abolished or put under greater restriction. That The Herald and Advertiser, Newnan News and Senoin Enterprise- Gazette be paid $10 each for publishing these presentments. COMPLIMENTARY. In taking leave of his Honor, Judge R. W. Freeman, we wish to thank him for his lucid, painstaking and able charge to this body, and wish to say that his charge not only shows a deep knowledge of the law, but a kindness of heart and a trust in his fellow-man that will, we are sure, win for him further honors on the bench which he adorns. And to our Solicitor-General, J. Ren der Terrell, how can we express our thanks? He has been more than kind, and ready nt all times to render advice. He is at once so clear in his explana tions and genial in manner as to render our work a pleasure rather than a task. May these gentlemen long remain with us in the offices they so conspicuously and ably fill. Respectfully submitted, Thomas G. Farmer, Foreman, Saul T. Johnson, James F. Ferrell, Thomas H. Wilson, James T. Williams, Oran Z. Cranford, Jacob H. Young, John It. Stamps, James R. Wise, Alexander H. Bohannon, Willinm J. Tarleton, Lee Hand, James M. Glass, Rufus L. Hardy, Bert P. Daniel, William A. Steed, Robert M. Young, John 1. Seroggin, Benjamin F. Wortham, William C. McBride, Marcus D. Thurmond, Theodore E. Atkinson, John J. Astin. The discovery on different dates of the Nortli l’ole by Dr. Frederick A. Cook and by Commander Robt. E. Peary, as announced by these well- known arctic explorers, and the death yesterday of Edward H. Harriman, the railroad magnate, were notable events of the past week. Columbus Enquirer-Sun : “The State of Georgia seems to be doing fairly well under the administration of Gov. Brown, despite the predictions of dire calamity that were made before his election.” Senoia Notes. Senoia Enterprise-Gazette, 9th inst. Mr. E. L. North, of New Orleans, was the guest of homefolks here the first of the week. After spending a delightful summer at his home at Saratoga, N. Y., Mr. S. O. Smith returned to Senoia yester day. Miss l.ois Entreken has been notified of her election to the principalship of the school at Orchard Hill. This is a good school, and the trustees have made an excellent selection of a teach er. Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Matthews, of San Antonio, Texas, have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Keith this week. The former has many old friends here, who were delighted to see him. The friends of Mr. J. D. Adcock and Miss Mary Kate Hunter were surprised to learn that they were married on the first Sunday in May, Judge Williams officiating. The contracting parties are both well-known young people, and have many friends who wish them years of peace and happiness. The Long Blue Granite Co., one of Senoia’s latest enterprises, are pushing forward nicely with the work of remov ing dirt from the rock, preparatory to cutting the pretty blue granite from their quarry. The sidetrack will soon be built, and then the work will be pushed rapidly. This enterprise means much for our town, as well as to the men engaged in the work, and they should he given every encouragement possible. Mr. R. M. North left Monday for Springfield, Ill., where he goes as a specially invited guest to the silver an niversary of the Franklin Life Insu rance Co. This company gave their best writers a complimentary ticket from their home to Springfield and re turn. and Mr. North was among this number. He is among the leading writers of this company for the year, having written more during the month of August than any other agent in Geor gia. Our readers will regret to learn that Dr. J. D. L. Touch will leave in a day ov so for Gainesville, Fla., where he expects to make his home. Dr. Tench has been doing dental work in our city for the past five years, and has always given satisfaction. He is a quiet, un assuming gentleman, who makes and holds friends. The people of Gaines ville are to be congratulated upon se curing this valuable accession to their list of professional men. Go With a Rush. ^ The demand for that wonderful Stomach, Liver and Kidney cure. Dr. King’s New Life Pills, is astonishing. All druggists say they never saw the like.

Near-Beer and “Blind Tigers.” Some reasons why they should not be tolerated : Because they are the enemies of everything that is good. We are pay ing thousands of dollars for school build ings and for teachers tor our children. The saloons are places where young boys (and older ones too) are corrupted. His lessons are neglected, and his in fluence hurts others; trouble comes to teachers and disappointment to pa rents, and lasting damage to the boys. Is there one out of a hundred that en ters school that graduates? The busi ness itself is against those who engage in it. It shuts up their chances for better places, and it is against every honorable business. Every dollar spent at the saloon ought to go to the grocer for bread and meat, and to the dry goods man for clothes and shoes and for home-needed comforts. Of all the fallacious and bad reasons offered to justify the saloon is that of tax revenue. The plain meaning is, “The thing is an evil, and a great evil, but if you will pay for it we will make it lawful and protect you in it.” The plea made by some members in the late Legislature to legalize the nefari ous business for the sake of revenue was a bad plea. No true, firm friend of State-wide prohibition could advo cate such an inconsistent principle. The same men who fought and fili bustered against prohibition in 1907, costing the people of the State thous ands of dollars, were the men to fix the near-beer saloorzs (with their al lies, (“blind tigers”) upon the people again in 1909. It was to be expected that the enemies of State prohibition would rally and make a stand in the last Legislature. Really, it was bad enough, hut not worse than we looked for. Every man, wonvan and child should say, “Let us have no saloons or ‘blind tigers’ in Newnan. All the so- called restraints placed around them gives them more protection. Let the saloons go, and the ‘tigers’ will go, too. ’ ’ It is generally believed that there are men in our midst—aye, every where the saloon is—men who hold Government license to sell whiskey.' Now, for the sake of our schools, our churches and our homes—for the sake of the good name of the city of New nan, the county in which we live, and the great State of Georgia let us stand for State-wide prohibition. Make no terms with such an enemy, for if you don’t kill him, he certainly will kill you. W. J. Cotter. Secretary Hester Furnishes Additional Statistics. New Orleans, Sept. 7.—Supplement ing his report on the cotton crop for 1908-09, as issued on Aug. 31, Secreta ry Hester, of the New Orleans Cotton Exhcange, to-day made a detailed re port of the crops of the different States, as follows; Alabama, 1.428.000, against 1,171,000 last year. Arkansas, 1.052,000, against 787,000. Florida, 75,000, against 60,000. Georgia, 2,118,000, against 1,964,000. Louisiana. 485,000, against 673,000. Mississippi, 1,673,000, against 1,496 - 000. North Carolina, 747,000, against 689,- 000. South Carolina, 1,298,000, against 1.- 226,000. Tennessee, 426,000, against 353,000. Texas, 3,819,000, against 2,221,000. Oklahoma, 704,000, against 950,000. Total crop. 13,825,000, against 11,- 572,000 last year. He puts the spindles in the South at 11.255.S77, including old, idle and not complete, against 10,661,308 last year, an increase of 594,479. Referring to the consumption by American mills Mr. Hester says that North and South they have had a sea son of unparalleled activity, in no past year, he states, have they con sumed so much cotton, and phenomenal as the extent of the business has been, it has not reached the limit of its ca pacity. The money value of the past commer cial crop, he states, is in round figures $683,794,000, showing that while the number of bales marketed was 2,243,000 more than last year, the increase in money received was only $11,509,000, equivalent to $5.11 per bale for the ex cess, and yet Mr. Hester contends that, considering all the circumstances, if ever a crop was sold at a good round price, it was the one under review.
