FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1893.
IRWIN SUPERIOR COURT.
October Adjourned Term, 1892.
— March 8th, 1893.
We, the Grand Jurors called,
chosen, and sworn, to served dur¬
ing the present term, in closing our
labors beg leave to submit the fol¬
lowing G in oral Presentments:
We have examined the list of
widows of Confederate Soldiers en¬
rolled as entitled to pensions, re¬
siding in our county, furnished by
the Secretary of the Executive De¬
partment and find same correct.
M. Henderson, Commissioner of
Roads and Revenues, presented bis
account for transacting county bus¬
iness, from March 8 , 1892, to Feb¬
ruary C, 1893 inclusive, amounting
to $211,81 which we approve and
recommend that'he draw his war-
rent upon the county Treasurer in
favor ol himself in settlement of the
same.
We find that the office of Notary
Public and Exofficio J. P., of the
1421st and 432d Districts, G. M.,
are vacant, the former by expira¬
tion of term of Geo. Mixon, the lat¬
ter by failure of Norman Dorminy
to take up commission, and we rec¬
ommend John A. Tomberlin to fill
the vacancy in 1421st dist., and L.
J. Prescott to fill vacancy in 432ud
dist. We find three vacancies in
Boaid of Education to wit:
Wm. Rogers, resigned ; M. Dixon
term expired; Elbert Paulk resig¬
ned, and we recommend far ap¬
pointment to fill said vacancies, S.
E. Coleman, L. D. Taylor and L. R.
Tucker. We recommend that
members of the Board of Educa¬
tion be paid two dollars per day for
services, that they receive pay for
the time in actual service and meet
only at such times as required
by law.
We recommend that all cases
pending in the Superior Court,
which come under the jurisdiction
of the County Court, be transfared
at once to the same.
We further recommend that
Judged. B. Clements appoint Col.
Tom Eason Sol. Geri’l. of the Coun¬
ty Court to prosecute said trans¬
ferred cases.
We find the public roads in the
1388th 932nd and 432nd road dist’s.
in bad condition, especially portion
of the Bowden Mill road near resi¬
dence of Samuel Walker, Sr., and
Joe Young, col., in 1388th dist.
Also portion of the Irwinviile
and Sycamore road in 982nd dist,
near the residence of Wm. Taylor.
Also portion of Irwinviile and Jack¬
sonville road below residence of
Joshua Troup, and we present the
board of commissioners of all three
of these districts for failure to per¬
form the duties required of them
by law.
We have appointed from our
body, Messrs. Benj. Drew and Geo.
K- Wilcox, as a committee to ex¬
amine the boobs ot the various
county officers and report to our
body, which report we aefapt as a
part of our general presentments.
To the Grand Jury, October Adjourn¬
ed Tern, 1892, Irwin Superior
Court:
We, the Committee, appointed
from your body to examine the
books of the various county officers
beg leave to submit the following
report:
clerk superior court.
We find the hooks of this efficer
Mr. W R Clements, neatly and cor¬
rectly kept.
county commissioner.
We find, by reference to vouch¬
ers and accounts in this office there
should be in the diffeient funds in
the county Treasurer at the close
ot business, September 26,1892, the
following amounts :
General Funds, $1475.77,
Pauper Funds, 205,41,
We take pleasure in reporting this
officers books nicety and systemat¬
ically kept.
county treasurer.
According to the books of this
office we find in the treasury, at
dose of business, September 2 5th,
1892, of the several funds, the fol¬
lowing amounts:
Oereral Funds, $1464,77,
Pauper Funds, 265,44.
The diffmeuce as shown in gener¬
al funds on hand by Commission¬
ers books and that of the county
Tressurer, is owing to an error in
statement of Jury Script rendered
by Clerk of the court, amt., $11,00.
ordinary. „
We have examined the books be¬
longing to this office and find some
inaccuracies pertaining to the re¬
cent sale of ungranted lands and
the settlement for the same wiib
the proper authorities. The follow¬
ing statement we take from the re¬
cords relative to this transaction :
SALE BILL.
Lot 10, in 21 dist., sold to Bettie
Paulk for $ 234,00
Lot 10 . in 3rd district, sold
vo Joe Fletcher, for 238,00
Lot 100, in 3rd diet., sold :o
John Clements for 1001,00
Lot 100 , in 4th diet, sold to
T. B. Young for 150,00
Lot 100 , in 5th diet, sold to
Wm. Grantham for 105,00
Lot 10, in 6 th dist,, sold to
Thos. B. Young for 1500,00
Lot 100, in 6 th dist, sold to
George Young, for 75,00
Total, $3303,00
Leaving a total amount of $3303,-
00 unaccounted for, due the state,
less Ordinary’s commission and ex¬
pence of sale.
Respectfully submitted,
Benj. Drew,
G. K. Wilcox.
Committee.
Upon investigation we find that
lot of land No. 100, in the 3rd dis¬
trict, sold to John Clements at the
late sale of ungranted lands by the
Ordinary, was bid off by Mr. Clem¬
ents at $1006,00 instead of $ 1001,00
as appears upon the sale bill of said
lands.
We recommend that the Ordina¬
ry in future, refuse to take any one
man on mere than two official
bonds, executed before him.
We find our public jail in fair
condition. The floor, however, is
rather filthy and we recommend
that the jailer have the same thor¬
oughly cleansed,and the bed clothes
used by the prisoners, washed and
present his account for same to the
proper authorities for settlement.
We further recommend that the
County Commissioner buy spit¬
toons for the use ot prisoners con¬
fined in the jail. We fined our
Court house in good condition, ex¬
cept the floors which need cleaning.
We recommend that the County
Commissioner take credit upon his
account on general funds for $ 11 ,
covering the difference existing be¬
tween his and the Treasurers cash
balance on account of general
funds, oco*sioried by error in state¬
ment of Jury Script.
We recommend that the various
Justices of the Peace and Notaries
Public and Exofficio J. P’s., exer¬
cise greater diligence in the appre¬
hension of crime committed, by
promptly issueing warrants for the
arrest and committal of the offen¬
ders, when the fact ( hat a crime has
been committed comes to their
knowledge. How often do these
officers suffer offenders to go unmo¬
lested by law, and it is their plain
duty to apprehend them, thus leav¬
ing such offenders to be looked af¬
ter by Grand Juries, who, in order
to get at them, must dispatch mou¬
nted officers very often to secure
evidence, after they have entered
the jury room, at heavy expense
to the county and loss of time.
In this connection, but without
any insinuation upon any particu¬
lar one whatever, or intention of
the same, we most respectfully call
attention to the growing lenient
treatment of the Court and officers
of the same generally towards de¬
faulting witnesses, jurors, etc. In
later years it is, in our bumble
judgement, too often the case that
witnesses,in particular, duly sub¬
poenaed, fail or refuse to appear,
and in order to secure their atternl-
*nce on the courts Railift’s are 8 tnt
for them at the county’s expense
and the penalty for such failure
omitted, very often without a mild
reprimand.
We recommend that these Gen¬
eral Presentments be published in
the Irwin County News and Haw-
kinsviile New and Dispatch.
In dealing our labors we return
thanks to His Honor, J. L. Sweat,
lor the able manner in which he
has presided at this term of Court,
and to our never tiring, Solicitor
General, Tom Eason, we return
thanks for courtesies shown our
bodv.

Jedge Waxem’s Politi’I Proverbs.
Some stiles of patriotism won’t
wash.
A statesman kin afford to do a
good deal of sufferin fer his coun¬
try for five thousand dollars per
annumn.
All the legislates in the world
can’t make a law that nobody can
brake.
Holdin office is a bad habit that
is mighty hard to brak 6 yeiself ov.
The Amerikin Eagle has been
knode to crow when he might a? well
kept his mouth shut.
A congressman aint alius infal-
ible.
Politics is something like corn;
the biggest vers don’t alius grow
nighest to the top of the stalk.
Farmers has got to know a durn
site u ore about politics before per-
taters is legal tendjr.
When a man’s party just suits
him to a t-y ty, thar ain’t enuff of
it left to run a campane on.
Biied shirts and white collars
ain’t goed campane dockyments,
out-ide of the city limits.
The horny-handed son of toil
ain’t much bettern the rest of ub,
except to talk about, fer politikle
purposes.

A commitee of the railroad pres¬
idents and otner officers represent¬
ing the railroads of Georgia were
in Atlanta a few days ago to go be¬
fore the Railroad Commision and
beg the privileg of chargeing high¬
er freight and pasenger rates, The
claim is made that the roads are
not earning their salt and that they
are liable to go to the devil if the
privilege of chargeing higher rates
is not granted.
The counry is buying meat on a
credit, mules on a credit, fertilizers
on a credit, farming utencils on a
credit, whiskey on a credit, in fact
evrything on a credit, and raiseing
making and manufacturing noth¬
ing to sell for cash, except cotton,
and the price is now lower than it
can be raised for. What eh&l the
harvest be? Debts and dissatisfac¬
tion.
It was reported not long since
that Peter Turner, governor of Ten
nssee, who has been sick, was dead.
A gentleman called on the govern¬
or and informed of the report. ‘Yes,’
said the governor, ‘'and I knew it
was a lie as soon as I beard it.”
A bout all of our Georgia colo¬
nels are colonels by courtesy, there
fore snouid not ptesume that their
titles give them any advantage o-
ver privates, Nevertheless most of
the Georgia colonels are after the
political kernels.
