GRAND JURY
PRESENTMENTS
We, the Grand Jurors, drawn
and sworn for the October term
of Superior Court of Wilkinson
County, beg leave to submit our
report. We find from examine-1
tion that crime is alarmingly on
the increase and that if the good
citizens of our county do not try
to suppress the blind tiger ele
ment and report the carrying of
concealed weapons. The law
forbidding gambling seems to be
ignored by many and too little
aid given the Grand Jury when
called upon for testimony. We
hereby beg the good citizens of
our county to help repress crime
and to bring law-breakers to
justice. Knowing these facts to
be true, we hope in the near fu
ture that our county will be free
from the ban now resting upon
her.
We find that most of the roads
in our county are in poor condi
tion. We do not lay all the
blame upon the Board of Com
missioners, but do insist that
they put forth every effort to
better them.
We recommend that T. C.
Thomas be appointed Notary
Public in Griffin district; that
H. D. Hughes, in Passmore dis
trict; that J. T. Davidson for
High Hill District and W. T.
Wall for Bethel District.
We recommend that the same
wages for board in jail remain
as it is.
We, the Grand Jury in body
have examined the Pension roll
and find it kept neat and order
ly, as the names therein writ
ten to be proper beneficiaries of
the county.
We recommend that Mr. J. G.
‘ Jordan and Mr. Ike O. Nall be
' appointed auditors to examine
the county records and report
to the next Grand Jury, and that
they be paid two dollars per day
for their services.
REPORT ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The committe on examingthe
Public Buildings, which includes
the Court House and Jail, beg
‘ to submit the following: We
find the Court House in good
condition with some minor ex
ceptions. The plastering over
’ front entrance torn loose and
' some of the blinds are under re
pair. We find that twelve lights
1 are needed in the jail windows.
We find that the repairs to the
‘ bars which were broken out are
not safe and we recommend that
c the proper authorities have same
fixed.
E. Cruthfield,
J. F. Payne,
I. F. Carr,
Committee.
1 We, the committee on the J.
’ P. and N. P. Court dockets, find
them all neatly and correctly
kept with one exception. The
' docket of the 353 d District has
; not been turned in.
W. H. Cook,
r I. F. Carr,
' M. A. Hall,
1 Committee.
REPORT ON POOR FARM.
We, the undersigned, appoin
■ ted by the Grand Jury October
Term, to inspect the poor farm,
find things in following condi
tion : The inmates, ten in num-
I ber; houses and grounds are be
ing properly kept. The houses
■ are all in good shape except one,
the one occupied by the negroes,
which is in need of a new cover.
• We found two mules, a good one
and the other old and worn out.
s We found a cow in fine shape,
i but about dry. Found about 30
. head of hogs in good shape with
i the exception of two or three
' which were a little sick. Lot,
i stalls and barn in good shape.
We recommend that he be fur
nished with another barn.
Found nice lot of corn on hand,
but Superintendent stated that
it would not be enough to do
them. We consider it a fine
yield for the year. Also about
ten bushels of peas housed, more
to pick. We think the man in
charge is the man for the place.
D. G. Jordan,
J. T. Davidson,
Committee.

gate the county road camps:
