GENERAL PRESENTMENTS
Of the Grand Jury Chosen and Sworn

Cowota Superior Court.
To His Honor, It. W. Freeman, Judge
of the Superior Court of Coweta coun
ty, (la.: We, the grand jury, summoned
ami sworn to serve for the March term,
1915, heg to submit the following gen
eral presentments
CLERK OF SUPERIOR COURT.
We have examined the books of this
official and lind them neatly kept and
correct, so far ns our examination re
vealed.
ORDINARY.
Wo lind the Ordinary’s books well
kept, presenting a nent appearance.
Wo lind, after a careful examination of
the list of pensioners, thut all those on
the roll in this county are entitled to
remain.
TAX COLLECTOR.
We (ind the books of the Tax Collec
tor very creditably kept. We find that
$1,115 has been collected to date, rep
resenting the special and corporation
tax, which is legally due Jan. 1 of each
year. We find that there were 179 special
taxpayers in 1914, hut of this number
only 59 have registered so far this year.
The law prescribes that every corpora
tion, firm or individual subject to this
tax shall register with the Ordinary and
tiny the registration fee of $1 by Jan. 1
of each year; then pay the amount of
the tHX to the Tax Collector. We rec
ommend thut tho Ordinary and Tax
Collector he especially vigilant in the
collection of these tuxes. We lind that
$118,896 of State and county taxes for
1914 have been collected and turned over
to the proper authorities, leaving only a
small per cent, uncollected.
TAX RECEIVER.
We find the returns of this official
properly filed and indexed, and we wish
to commend him for the neat appear
ance of his office.
SHERIFF.
We find the books and records of this
office neatly kept and correct, so far as i
we could determine from the limited
time we had for examination.
COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
We find tho hooks of this official neat
ly kept und correct, as far as we were
able to ascertain We have been fur
nished the following figures by the
Commissioner:

SURVEYOR.
We learn that this official is confined
at home by illness, and made no inves
tigation of this office.
J. P. 8 AMI N. P.'S DOCKETS
We have examined the hooks of all
the districts except one, (1139th.) There
is considerable looseness and irregulari
ty about the records. With few excep
tions, the indexes are incomplete, or
not arranged alphabetically. The records
of cases were frequently not complete;
dutes sometimes fail to appear; dispo
sition of cases does not always appear
properly. We recommend thut Justices
take more pains with these records, and
especially recommend that each case lie
properly indexed untier its proper letter
when the record is made.
COUNTY TREASURER.
We append herewith report of F. M.
Dennis, Treasurer, from Sept. 1, 1914,
to Jan. 1, 1915; also, the report of J.

COUNTY FARM.
We find at the County Farm the fol
lowing inmates, viz; 1 white male, 14
females; 7 colored males, 5 colored fe
males; total number of inmates, 28.
Also, 1 mule, 1 horse, 5 pigs, 150
buBhels corn, 2,000 bundles fodder, 1
two-horse wagon and a lot of chickens.
We find the houses in fairly good re
pair; also the bedding fairly good.
Thirty-five acres are in cultivation.
Two luhorers are employed to do the
farm work at a cost of $200 per year.
About 75 acres are rented out, for which
the county receives 10 bales of cotton.
We find very little complaint from
the inmates, They are well looked af
tor. Cost of inmates is $8 per month.
We recommend that the houses be
whitewashed inside.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We find the court-house in fine shape.
We find the jail in very good condition.
The walls of the first floor of the dwell
ing portion need tinting or whitewash
ing. Also, some of the steam pipes
need attention.
We find the tiling on the west side of
the jail needs repairing.
We recommend that a fence be built
around the jail. We also think a coal
bin should be built, as tho coal now
piled against the wall of the jail is not
the proper place for it, and is liable to
damage the wall.
COUNTY CONVICT CAMP.
We found 80 convicts in camp, 4
guards, I yard man, and 1 engineer;
and, with the superintendent, making a
total of 87 men fed in camp.
We also fi und 80 mattreBses, 840
blankets, 175 suits, 5 wagons, 4 wheel
ers, 20 carts, 2 grade plows, 40 shovels,
Sji.r.oc ,w 45 picks and 4 axes. We find the cost
f building the present road to be about
$3 000 a mile.
We found the cost of feeding the men
February to tie 13,1 cents per day,
and iho cost of feeding the stock 39
cents ppr day.
O-ving to the high cost of maintain
ing the chaingang, we recommend that
the Commissioners of Roads and Reve
nue make a thorough investigation of
the cost of working our roads by con
tract. Under the rules und regulations
of the Prison Commission of Georgia a
felon can only be worked under cer
tain conditions, and the warder, is forced
to abide by the rules governing same.
Under a system of contract labor these
conditions would not prevail, and we
think a great saving of money would
result to the county. At any rate, the
investigation is worthy of considers
tion, and we earnestly recommend that
it be made.
We desire to go on record as opposed
to the continuance of the 36-foot road
now being worked, and known as the
Newnan-Atlanta road. We think that
a much narrower road is sufficient to
accommodate all present and future
travel.
We heartily approve the recent order
of the board in putting a repair gang on
the roads. Complaint has been general
throughout the, county that all of the
important highways were badly in need
of repairs, and the action of the board
will meet with general approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We earnestly recommend that the
Commissioners of Roads and Revenue
purchase a new map of the county.
The present map of the county was
made in 1870, and since then there have
been many changes in the original
county lines. A new map will greatly
facilitate the work of the Tax Receiver,
and we believe that the map will be
paid for by the consequent increase of
tax returns.
We recommend that the compensa
tion of the Commissioners of Roads
and Revenue for 1915 he fixed at $50
each, as prescribed by law.
We recommend the following names
for appointment as N. l’.'s and ex-offi-
cio J. P.'s, viz; 691st district, G. M.,
H. B. Sasser; 647th district, G. M., E.
W. Burson; 755th district, G. M., J. A.
Bilbo.
We recommend the appointment of j
Dr. W. L. Woodroof as a member of j
the County Board of Health, and that
his compensation be fixed at $2 per diem
! for attending regulurly ordered meet-
! ings.

ROSARY HILL HOME
Tells How Vinol Restores
Strength and Vitality to the
Weak, Worn-Out Ones in
Her Charge.
Rosary Hill Home, Hawthorne, N.Y-
— “I have been at work among the sick
and poor for nearly eighteen years, and
whenever I have used Vinol for run
down, weak or emaciated patients, they
have been visibly benefited by it One
patient, a young woman, was so weak
and ill she could hardly creep to my door
for aid, and was leaning on a friend’s
arm. I supplied Vinol to her liberally
and in a month when she returned to
thank me 1 hardly recognized her. She
was strong, her color charming and her
cheeks rounded out. These words are
uttered from my heart, in order that
more people may know about Vinol, as
there is nothing makes me happier in
the world than to relieve the sick.”—
Mother M. Alpiionsa Lathrop.O.S.D.,
Hawthorne, N.Y.
Such disinterested and reliable testi
mony should convince everyone of the
merits of Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic to build up health and
strength for all weakened and nervous
conditions, whether caused from over
work, worry orchronic coughs and colds.
If Vinol fails to benefit we return your
money.
